"Colorado Troops Make Arrests and Seize Firearms"

 COAL MINERS DECIDE TO FIGHT TO THE END

Colorado Troops Make Arrests and Seize Firearms.

   TRINIDAD, Col., March 25.—The coal miners' strike in District 18, United Mine Workers of America, consisting of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, will be continued to the bitter end, according to a unanimous vote today of delegates or the several unions in convention assembled here.

   Maj. Zeph T. Hill, military commander, has given instructions for the confiscation of firearms In Las Animas county, and house to house raids have begun. All the houses in Sopris and Segundo have been visited by troops and all firearms found were seized. After all outside towns have been thoroughly searched houses in Trinidad will be visited. The troops have arrested several men and captured 150 rifles and a quantity of dynamite from the strikers at Segundo.

   The treasonous Maj. Zeph T. Hill not only violated the 2nd Amendment, but the 4th as well. In direct violation of the document which he and his fellow minions took a solemn oath to uphold and defend. As well as the traitors that issued the unconstitutional order to begin with. This should have been resisted to the last extreme. Just as it should be now.

   "Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’, because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual."--Thomas Jefferson
