WORK AND WAGES.
A DESPERATE STRIKE.
BATTLE WITH MACHINE GUNS
[By Eleoteio Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.! New York, October 19.
It is reported from .Colorado that a state of anarchy prevails throughout the mining regions. Deputies arrested a gang of strikers who are alleged to have been involved in an attack on strike-breakers, and marched them 30 miles across* country. They were overawed with a machine-gun, but, despite this, armed miners attempted to rescue. Some shooting followed, and later, when an unarmed deputy entered the strikers’ camp with the object of parleying, and carrying a white flag, the miners shot him dead. The deputies thereupon turned machineguns loose, killing many, of the miners. A battle is proceeding, and the militia have been despatched to the scene.
