WILL KEEP
President and Cabinet Hear Judjje
Lindsay and Cnminittee of
Women Tell of Ludlow Mass
acre. Arbitration Not Possible.
Washington, May INI. Meeting in
extraordinary '•fusion } ’r« i«i« nt \\ il^on
and the entire cabinet lifter.* <1 !«**•;>
to the plea ot Judge idi <Lay of Denver
anti a committee of live women. aim
came to the capital to ask that federal
troops he kept in the Trinidad strike
district until conditions improve. 1 heir
plea w as granted.
Judge Lindsay urged the adminis
tration to compel the operators to ar
bitrate, hut this was denied on the
ground that it would he a violation of
state rights a id because no formal
proclamation had been issued declin
ing Colorado in a state ot rebellion.
While listening to ihe details of tire
Ludlow massacre the president s face
was set in a deep frown. At the close ;
Judge Lindsay said that, not only the
relatives of the dead and all their
friends, which included practically
every striking miner in Colorado, but
also hundreds of people not interested
in the mine strike are ready to take
the field if the militia is put in charge
again.
“These people believe that you will
protect them from further outrage by
state troops.” said Judge Lindsay, i
“They are for the most part foreign- <
ers from Southern Europe, who have j
been similarly treated at home. They i
tired of lighting otT the Turks and the
Cossacks and came here to have peace,
but they will tight to the tinish rather
than submit to the treatment accorded
them in Colorado.”
it was the opinion of the cabinet that
without taking into consideration the
merit of the striker’s claims against
the operators, they certainly should
be given protection, so federal troops
will remain in the district indelinitely.
