How the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co.
hired an evangelist to go from camp

among the mineworkers and help
break the strike is told in transcripts

there was a letter marked "personal"

of his assistants. The -letter, dated
Oct 13, shows use of automobiles for
rapid mobilization of the Rockefeller
- strikebreaking forces. l reads:
iP "Dear Sire I have your letter of
Oct. 10, enclosing letters from Tdr..

ney. Some time ago Rev. Badds rep
resented to me that Mr. McChesriey
w.as. a young man recently graduated
from some theological, school, who'
was without a charge and was .anx
ious to get into the character of
work that our camps would furnish.
"Knowing Mr. McChesney's father,
who is an attorney in Trinidad, and
knowing fha tHe "comes from an. "ex
cellent family, I consented to guaran
tee the Rev. McChesney $5and the
necessary traveling expenses ior
each service he held in our camps,
He takes hp a collection at each serv
ice and dedncts that from ?5 plus
traveling expenses and we make the
payment once a' month. I do not
consider that he is an employe of the
C. F. & T. Co.
"Undoubtedly," aa automobile
would assist him in traveling around
the camps. An automobile would also
be of great assistance to our super
intendent of construction, Mr. Suth--erland;
our boiler inspector, Thomas;
our superintendent of washeries,
chief electrician, three traveling
mine clerks and our veterinary sur
geon. All of these men are called on
in: emergencies and are required to
report at dicerent properties on as
short notice as possible, yet none
have asked for an automobile and
for very good reasons we have not
furnished any. Rev. McChesney can.

our service oa regular railroad trains.
Should he have a call' for some spe

sure that Mr: Thomas' office, in Trin

by automobile in, very short notice."
