"I got a job in a department store,
but I only made enough money to buy
food, so I slept in the parks when it
was warm enough and when it got
cold or rained, I slept in cellars. Then
I lost my job and I didnt.have food.
I'm glad I'm arrested. Maybe it will
be better now."
STRIKERS WELCOME MILITIA AT
LUDLOW, COL.
Ludlow, Col., Nov. 1. The long
feared "invasion of Ludlow" by the
militia was completed today. Instead
of the resistance which pessimists
had predicted, the soldiers met a
hearty welcome extended by 2,000
coal strikers and their families, who
had been living in the tent colony
here since the Southern Colorado
coal strike began.
One thousand infantry, cavalry and
artillery, constituting all the militia
in the coal district, assembled at 8 a.
-c-
m. on the prairie two miles fronv
Ludlow. The strikers and their fami
lies marched out over the prairie, led
by a miners' band and singing the
Colorado strike song -to the air of
"The Battle Cry of Freedom." Not
a rifle was in sight in the strikers'
ranks.
Singing lustly, the" miners march
ed to a point a few hundred yards
from the troops and formed two long
lines. The soldiers, led by Adjutant
General Chase, marched through the
ranks of the strikers, who shouted,
cheered and waved their hats in a
wild demonstration.
The" rest of the morning was de
voted td fraternizing by soldiers and
strikers. --
