Washington, March 2.—A scathing arraignment of the Colorade militia for its treatment of striking -miners ang their families is contained in a oluminous report submitted to the ouse today by the Mines and Mimngz b-committee, which investigated can- “ditions in the Colorado coal fields un- der a resolution adopted a year ago in January. While scoring condi- tions generally in the coal fields and criticising many of the acts of the mine operators, including alleged vio- lation of state laws, the committee reports that no evidence was found of a conspiracy in restraint of trade ! to limit the output of the mines, nor conclusive proof of the existence of peonage. The strike was settled long before the cammittee completed its report, so | no specific recommendations are made. The committee appeals, however, for arbitration in such situations. iclares that these disturbances are na- tion.wide in their importancet; that the federal government is the only power competent to deal with them, and, after referring to the testimony of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who dis- claftned responsibility for Colorado conditions, adds: . Morally Responsible. “Absentee owners or directors by their absence from the scene of such disturbances cannot escape their mor- al responsibility for conditions in and about properties in which they are Interested.” Liberal extracts from the 2,000 pages of testimony taken by the com- report, | mittee are embodied in the with this comment: “Considerable testimony Hides of the controversy, we believe, gnreliable, and no confidence should be placed in it. Colorado had good mining laws and such that ought to Afford protection to the miner if they are enforced; yet in this state the percentage of fatalities is larger than on both It de-! any other, showing there is undoubt- edly something wrong in reference tc the management of its coal mines. It! is contended by the miners as one | of their grievances that the aperators |do not obey the law, and however {good the laws may be if not observed | they are of no protection. Violation by Operators. “The testimony of James Dalrymple, state mine inspector, calls attention to the many violations of the law by the | operators, and the miners claim this as one of the causes leading up to i the strike. The report! of Mr. | Dalrymple also says he found in some ; | cases the operators had put in opera- | tion new devices and systems of an advantage to the miners.” *It seemed the militia was on the side of the operators in this contro- versy,” says the report after reciting the action of the governor in calling out the state troops, “and the evi- dence seems conclusively to prove such to have been ‘the case. The sooner men armed in the service of the state learn that the men with whom they may deal may be poor and | ignorant and even violators of the law, but are still human, the better it will be for all concerned. Recruiting Was Mistake, “The recruiting of mine guards as members of the militia, in our judg- ment, was a mistake, since intense animosity had existed for some time between ‘the mine guards and the miners and it was difficult or even im- rossible for the miners to feel that these men were neutral conservators of , the peace. Some of the militia- | men seized the opportunity, while ! clothed with the authority of the state i to engage in various lawless acts. “In other instances the acts were of an immoral kind and of such a i nature as to be unfit for publication i in this report. There were acts of | brutality testified to before the com- i mittee which might be enumerated; men on slight provocation were thrown into jail and kept there with- out the opportunity of proving their innocence. There were many good men in the militia, both officers and privates, and the strikers testifying said that certain companies were com- posed of kind men and if their houses were to be searched they ked that members of these companies might be sent; but if others were sent to do the searching they would be subjected to indignities and would probably be | robbed of whatever they that the militia wanted.” Committee Denounces Chase. The committee denounces John M. Chase, adjutant general of the mili- tia of the state, for his refusal to testify except upon condition that he would not be questioned by represen- tdtives of the miners, and declares that he ‘“was over-bearing to all who came in contact with him.” Reviewing the testimony of many witnesses, the report says from the time the strike was called until the might have federal troops were sent into the fleld | by the president of the United States there was a series of battles which seemed to be fierce while they lasted and a number of people were killed and wounded on hoth sides. It con- demns as inexcusable both the at- tack on Berwind camp by men al- leged to have been strikers as well as the assault upon Forbes tent colony by armed guards using a machine gun. Trouble Will Occur. “A private guard system may be thought necessary,” the committee here comments, ‘but wherever it ex- ists sooner or later trouble will occur and proper officers of the law should be substituted, who will be impartial in maintaining peace and order.” Testimony of present and former county officials is quoted to show efforts of mine operators to control elections in Los Animas and Huer- fano counties and the committee re- warks that the manner of selecting juries in those counties, where, ac- cording to witnesses in one case at least. seven out of twelve jurors were deputy sheriffs, ‘“ appears to be against the provisions of the law.” Some of the men brought into Col- orado by detective agencies employed to guard the mines, the committee finds had been in the same kind of service in West Virginia and they brought with them the same ma- chine-guns which had been used in armored car against strikers in that | HAIR STOPS FALLING, DANDRUFF it soft, ave your hair!

Claims Peonage Existed. Concerning the charge that the operators were guilty of peonage, the committee reports. ‘We did not find it clearly proven | that a condition of peonage existed iin the coal fields of Colorado, but we | found that during the strike men were brought in from other states by the te~r and train load and were delivered t¢ the mining camps under guard of the militia, many of them being for- eigners, and unacquainted with the work of mining coal. We do not be- lieve was proven that the operators { forcibly kept men in camp until their i debts were pald, but that they rather j endeavored to hotd those who already jwere in camp before the strike and to prevent those who had heen taken A | sale of firearms tos in sid. Declaring that the mine troubles are nation-wide in scope, the commit- tee reached this conclusion: “It should be th eduty of the gov- ! ernment to as: any states in set- tling a dispute that is nation-wide in its scope; and if any federal law be enacted that will help not Colorado but other state that may be similarly situated, it the duty of congr to speedily put upon the statute books the nec ary la so that such industrial disturbances can only any may forever cease.” Criticises State Authorities. The committee criticises the authorities for failing to prevent the the state forces. “The mine owners shipped four machine guns from West Virginia for use during the strike,” the Teport stated. “The evidence conclusively shows the miners bought arms and ammunition in quantities, though the amount we do not know. . and it seems strange to your committee that in these counties where strike was then in existence and where acts of violence were constantiy occurring, the authorities of the state should not have taken some pre- caution to control the sale of fire- arms.” Rap “Private Property.” Criticism is directed also ditions in at con- oncorporated towns where “The companies are permitted to put up a sign ‘Private property’ and ex- clude all except those whom they see fit to permit to enter, all the officials of the city, the mayor and the school hoard being officials of the mining companies. Places of recreation or amusement are scarcely known. The miner must go to the saloon as a place of amusement.” Minority reports were submitted by two members of the sub-committee, tepresentatives Byrnes of St. Caro- lina, democrat, and Austin of Ten- nessee, republican. No Report Authorized. Mr. Byrnes holds that the resolu- tion ordering the investigation did not authorize a report on the relations be- tween capital and labor, the causes of industrial unrest and allied subjects. The conditions complained of, if they exist, he declared, can be remedied by Colorado and not by the federal gov- ernment and that the majority report fails to disclose either a federal ques- tion or a remedy. He reports the evi- dence showed no Interference with pestal facilities, no violation of the immigration laws, no agreements con- trary to federal law to control pro- duction, sale and transportation of the coal and that there was no testimany proving that persons had been ar- rested, fined or convicted in violation of federal laws.
