OLD NICK GOOD TO STRIKERS
Trinidad, Col., Dec. 26. Santa
Claus visited more than 8,000 of the
striking Colorado coal miners,
through arrangements completed by
the "United Mine Workers.
Automobiles loaded with gifts
made the rounds of the camps in the
tent colonies where the strikers have
lived since they laid down their tools.
Every child received a gift of some
kind, baskets of food were distributed
and the families were entertained at
celebrations held by the union.

Election Agent Did you discover
anything in Stump's past life that we
can use against him? Detective1
Not a thing. All he ever did before
he came here was to sell awnings.
Election Agent Why, that's just
what we want. We'll say that he has
been mixed up in some decidedly
shady transactions.
