M., October 25.—There are more dead men than live men in this mining camp. I was in Colorado trying to find out things about the strike of the coal miners there, when less without unionism. They are indeed just as helpless as these blackened dead men. But they were not all alike. A woman shriek- ing and children around her, crying, and at their feet, a bundle of something—daddy. It had once been a man, who had tried to make cone woman and some children happy. It was time to worry about dead men when | first arrived on the scene. Squads of rescuers, dashing into the mine with hel mets, thrust aside blackened corpses in their desperate search for the living They knew that women and children, clustered at the mouth of the pit, were hoping for living husbands In hundreds ind daddies, this explosion occurred that killed probably 250 74 not roasted corpses. When they came trom the mine, the There were the overalls which she had washed. socted would-be rescuers didn’t tell of corpses they had seen, but = men. marched through crowds of women and children silent She knew them.

No, the bundles didn’t all look alike. It is still dead man's hour at the Stag Canyon mine as t write this. None of the bereaved asking how it happened. The dead are to be buried and new, hard lives are to be begun Here Is about $9,600,000 worth of man life destroyed, for each man averaged $900 a year in earnings, end that’s the interest on 18,000 for one year per man For this reason, if for no other, the law of it must come out Was the mine unsafe? Of course it was. If conditions were unsafe, why didn't men complain? There's the point Any man who compla told ths truth about unsafe condi. tions would have stood alone, and would have been told to take his wife and children and leave camp If the bundles of something had been union men, any of them would have had the strength of an entire union behind him if he had complained about dangers as he saw ther Union leaders are from Colorado into tell miners there that it Is better to stand together lie together in death like the miners of Stag Canyon New Mexico to in life than to going 3) We Dare to Tell the Truth | The men who own and work for The Star the newspaper business, and no oth- | hey have no axes to grind, no “inter- [f to protect.
