PRESIOENT STOPS"
STRIKE BREAKERS
1) ,
irsue* 'Orders to Mining Operator*
and to Military Authorities to Pre
vent Thenv Being Imported.
TRINIDAD, Colo., May 11—Presi
dent Wilson today issued orders to
the coal mine operators in the strike
zone under military law not to im
port strikebreakers into the district,
and he has, through Secretary Gar
rison, of the War department, issued
orders to the commander ' of the
troops in the district to enforce the
order and stop strikebreakers from
entering the strike zone.
The order has caused much worry
to the mine managers, as they had
hoped under the protection of the fed
eral troops to import strikebreakers
and soon bring the strike to an end,
opening the mines which have not
been destroyed without the aid of the
union miners.
Several mine managers have stated
that the mines will be opened by
non-union miners or remain closed
forever.
The strikers are happy and say that
the operators cannot open the coal
mines and will be compelled to grant
the terms of the unions for higher
wages and better working conditions.
