This was supported by an announce- ment by the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. one of the largest operators, that 80 per cent of the 30.000-odd men laid off at its Pueblo steel mills because of shortage of coal would be recalled today. I. 'W. W. leaders, however, pointed \, erippled m in southern C Mo, and declared they would con- tinue to hold mass meetings until a wage increase was granted. Police Reinforced. Informed that strikers planned to extend their activities in the Walsen- burg area, Gov. W. H. Adams sent 20 more State police to aid the 15 special officers who were unable ta stop scores of miners in a rald on proper- ties in that district Saturday. The governor said he had more police in reserve. Although the police were armed, they used only pick handles and pistol butts in attempting to disperse the strikers Saturday. The only fatality reported thus far was the slaying of a miner in a brawl at Lud- Jow Saturday. Tom Pettrucci, idle miner, who admitted the shooting, said he shot in self-defense.
