“COLORADO COAL CAMPS BETTER
THAN IN EAST.’*
Low Commission Finds Working Com

Fine—Miners Own Autos.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Trinidad. —That working conditions
In the southern Colorado coal mines
are as good it not better than in the
same industry in the East, is the opin
ion of members of the federal commis
sion headed by Seth Low of New York,
who returned to the Trinidad district
after inspecting coal mines in Huer
fano county. A statement to this ef
fect was given by Patrick Gilday, a
member of the commission.
“I believe," said Mr. Gilday, “that
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was sincere
when he came to Colorado. There
are some who believe that his trip to
this state was a grandstand play, but
I don’t. I think he played the part
of a man and I feel that his trip and
the things he saw here will result in
material improvement of conditions
generally." He stated further that he
did not believe the working of the
Rockefeller industrial system would
bring about the conditions demanded
by the United Mine Workers.
The members of the commission ex
pressed themselves as much im
pressed with the sociological work in
the coal camps. Mr. Gilday, speaking
for the commission, commented with
particular approval on the splendid
conditions at the Cameron mine in the
Walsenburg district.
We had a pleasant but busy stay
in the southern coal fields,” said Mr.
Low. “We visited mines at Primero.
Frederick, the one at Hastings, the
Walsen-Robinson and the Ravenwood
and Cameron mines. The conditions
as to houses and general living condi
tions seemed to be most satisfactory,
comparing very favorably with the
Pennsylvania and other mines in the
East that have come under my obser
vation.
“We found one company was build
ing garages and that many of the
automobiles to be housed therein are
owned by the miners.
“We had conferences with the mine
operators and with the miners, and
will continue our tour with a visit to
the northern coal fields.”
