the mine except that of the Andy tunnel

poisonous gases floating back Into the

that the fugitive would make a break

A large rfniount of dynamite is stored
In the mine and knowing Lopez could
easily blow out one of the 'bulkheads,
the seven sheriffs early today stationed
a dozen deputies -at each of the" fifteen
tunnel- mouths with orders to shoot' him

The 10.000 inhabitants of this canyon
walled mining town, deep in drifts of
snow, were waiting In tense excitement
for He denouement of the man hunt that

Methods of the United Mine Vorkrn
of i America are severly condemned, tbo
roport saylngt
The methods pursued by tho United
Mine Workers of America In their en
deavors to force recognition ot their Un
ten by J.he coal mlne operators , in Cak
ra4e.re, si Insult to eaijservattve al

used to support Insurrection and lawleas-
ni'Ss when necessary to force their de
mands by intimidation and fear whenever
strikes are called, with the result of in
juring other trades and the entailment
of hardships and privations on the peo
ple of the entire commonwealth.
"The lawlessness of many of the strik
ing miners Is caused by radical agitators
Imported from other states, who Inflame
them with incendiary speeches and ex
hortations to violence.
