To Close Colorado Mines

Leadville, Coló., Nov. 21.- The most important move yet made by the striking miners is announced on what is considered reliable authority. ThO statsment that the governor had decided to take summary measnres to suppress further violence here and to bring the strike to an end has, it is said, caused the officers of the union, with the backing of the Western Federation of Miners, to decide to play a trump card, which, they think, will force the mine managers to come to their terras under pressure from the j managers of mines in other districte ! of the state. The union has sent emissaries to all other unions in the state te urge them to inaugúrate a sympathetic strike, thus tying up all the mines in the state. Cripple Creek and Telluride are to take the initiative and the other unions to follow rapidly. In this connection it is stated upon authority that the mine managers of Montana havo decided upon making a reduction in wages of 50 cents a day very soon, and this is expected to precipítate a strike by the largest minersunion in the country. The Montana unions have been contributing liberally in aid of the beadville strikers, but with a strike imminent in their camp it is believed they will hereafter neeó to keep all their money at home.
