Without naming any of the lit-Hig

fallacy tending to ohstmet the prwj

"Utall means, let us pnv any price

WASHt.NT.TOK. Mar 19. Kesiwn
altilllty for the Colorado coal strike
was laid at the door of minor off I
clals of the coal companies directly
In touch with the men. according to
testimony today before In the Indus
trial couinilMion, by Hugeno fiadls,
a Methodist clergyman and former
prtiddent of the social work for the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company.
Sociological conditions In the
canipg, In which Determent work had
been undertaken, were generally bad
and "cursed by saloon associations,"
and In many cases "disreputably dis
graceful." Ono of the directors of
the company, ho said, told him In
Denver, a few years age:
"Wo might as well confess It, we
have not given tho miners anything
but the saloon.
Hun by Human Ghouls
The policy of the company, said
tho witness, "is to condono parcelling
out camp saloons, many In company
buildings, to human ghouls who oper
ate thent Illegally In connivance with
he marshals. Saloon after pay days
are chambers of horrors and outlaws
fattening on the earnings of tho mln-
ts with tho tacit approval of Mr, i
Rockefeller's officials."
"Is it a fart," asked Chairman
Walsh,
I
cry on the Appleate tomorrow. Al.

tier will he git en. A truck meet oo
trtven the schools of the Applegate
will bo held in the morning for u sil

Miles Cnnlr-.il, president of the renm-
ery company. At night there will be
a weiuer roast uud n big d'inee nt 0
o'clock as the clo-ing etciit of the
day. Delegations from eterv town n
the Itogue lover valley will attend.

"They control it as far as they
dare.'' Radls replied, "although I
don't think they do It to such an ex
tent as before the coal Btrlkc. They
absolutely controlled it beforo tho
atrike."
Company In Polities
"Tho Colorado Fuel and Iron com.
pany for many years," he wrote,
"were accusal of being tho political
dictator of southern Colorado and In
fact were u mighty power In the
entire state. When I camo here it
was said the C. I- & I. Co., votod
every man and woman In thnlr em
ploy without any regard to their bo
ing naturalized or net: nnd even
their mules, it used to he remarked,
wecr registered if they wero fortu
nate enough to t'OSHesn names.
"Anyhow, a polltlcnl department
was maintained at a heavy expense.
"The company became notorious
in many sections for their support
thus has been established a confidential
correspondence which has extended over
many years and which has nover been
broken. Never have they published a
testimonial or used a letter without tho
written consentof tlio writcr.and never
has the Company allowed these confi
dential letters to j?ct out of their pos
session, as the hundreds of thousands
cf them in their files will attest.
Out of tho vast volume of experience
which they havo to draw from, it Is more
than possible that they possess the very
knowledge needed in your case. Noth
ing is asked in return except your good
will, and their advice has helped thou

should be glad to take advantage of tbh
generous offer of luwlntance. Address
