Pursuant to a call issued a number
of the journeymen plasterers of this city
met in Justice Sopris' court room, on
Wednesday evening, the purpose being
to effect the organization of union of
that trade in Denver.
A temporary organization was had,
and the objects of the meeting stated.
After some appropriate remarks upon
the subject of organization, the follow
ing were elected as officers of the union: ::
President-Harry Cole.
secretary-Henry P Wilson.
Treasurer-John Beck.
A committee on organization and ar
rangements was elected. 1t consists of
Charles McCabe, James Jackson and
Andy Medallion.
The initiation fee for the present is
placed at 81, and an invitation is ex-
tended to all journeymen plasterers to

to meet again, at the same place, on
Monday evening next, at 7:3O o'clock.

NOTES.


Rocky Mountain Assembly 24S7' is
its name.
The railroad officials at Cheyenne are
all gentlemanly and sociable.
There are about 100 men employed in
and about the Union Pacific shops at
Cheyenne.
AS entertainers the "horny handed
sons of toll" of Cheyenne, are unequaled,
even by the aristoeratlc society folk"
The editor of this paper found him
self unable to express his thanks at the
kindness of the gentlemen whom he met
while in the Magic City.
Cheyenne is evidently good town to
live IN. There is plenty of work, at fair
wages. The only trouble seems to be
that the rate of living is exceedingly
high.
Lots of old Denver prints" in Chey-
enne, and they seem to be happy. Joe
CranweIl is foreman of the Leader, and
George Day carries the hump backed
rule in the Sun office.
The ENQUIRER secured fine founda-
ton for a large list of subscribers at
Cheyenne. The working people upthere
recognize the need of an unbiased and
fearless organ. Let the good work 60 on.
Friend GSod%in knows the difference
between good article of sweet milk and
the customary mixture served in Denver,
and THE ENQUIRER man is under obllga-
tons to him and his excellent lady for a
full supply of the genuine.
If clear-headed, intelligent men and
honest determination can succeed, the
Knights of Labor in Cheyenne will meet
with unlimited success. 1t is seldom
there is more evidence of these qualities
in body of men than was displayed on
Sunday last in Library hall.
The stock monopolists of Cheyenne
expressed 70 little anxiety over the ex-
citement last Sunday and Monday. They
were very much concerned about the
report that the cowboys were going into
the organization, and the indications are
that their fears were warranted.
The carpenters of Cheyenne have
organized union. They will be attached
to the Brotherhood of America. The
union starts out under encouraging cir
cumstances and with large member
ship. They expect to have every good
carpenter in the city within the fold
before long, and a card will have to be
presented by new corners. Work seems
to be good in this trade and wages are
fair. There is no need for more men at
present, however.

4 Death Hole.

State Inspector of Mines Mcneil re-
turned Wednesday from trip to Erie,
where be had been investigating the
Boulder Valley coal mine The follow
ing facts are cleaned from lis statements
upon the subject:
This coal mine is owned by the Union
Pacific company and employs about
eighty men. The inspector found the
mine in a bad condition and considers it
unsafe for the men to work in it.
The Inspector found the miners suffer-
ing from the effect of the black damp, as
the workings contained large quantities
of carbonic acid gas. Some of the old
men have been compelled to quit work
for half day at time. Those who
work any length of time suffer from 81
severe headache. The miners would not
work atIall were it not from the factthat
employment is scarce and they cannot
afford to be idle, and hence they do not
like to complain. The state inspector
made thorough examination aud pro-
nounced the mine unsafe and dangerous.
About two months ago the inspector
gave the company notice ofthe necessity
of putting the mine in safe condition,
and they promised to do so, but thus far
they. have failed to comply with the de-
mand.. Inspector Mcneil discovered the
presence of black damp in the mine
about two months ago, but its effect was
not so marked then owing to the cool
weather, but he gave instructions to the
company to secure better ventilation be-
fore the warm weather came. The warm
season of the year having; set in, the
miners necessarily feel the presence of
the deadly gas to greater degree, and
hence the difficulties now experienced
by them In operating the workings. The
miners sometimes come out of the mine
with their eyes swollen from the effect of
the poisonous gas.

printed document of the company'sruIes
and regulations. It cont(1ns nineteen
articles, with the following heading.
aAll persons entering the service of the
Colorado Coal and Iron company in any
capacity whatever shall be held to have
made the following rules and regulations
q part of their agreement of hire. service
or employ, and the act of entering into

Article 3reads thus: 9Any person or

association or open combination whose
aim is to control wages or stop work,
shall be promptly and finally discharged.
Persons not satisfied with their work or
wages can leave honorabls by giving the
required notice, and any person or per-
sons quitting work or inducing or at
tempting to induce others to quit work
other than in the manner prescribed by
these rules and regulations, shall forfeit
whatever may be due or owing to such
person or persons absolutely"
Another article requires the employe
to give,the company ten days notice be-
fore quitting. After reading the above |
had q talk with several Of the miners
and found only one union man in the
camp, who told me he had not got work

I have received personal letter from
a friend and co-worker in California, and
so sound are some of the ideas therein
contained that cannot resist the tempta-
ton to give the readers of The ENoU1-
RER the benefit of them. He says:
81 hope you are not discouraged at
the prospects, which at present look
hopeless, for the cause of oppressed man
kind. 1 have passed through all the va
rious stages of depression, and now be-
gin to view things ia a cool, deliberate
way; and 1 can say with degree of GER
tainty that the day of deliverance is not
far distant. l can see the beginning OF
the financial crash that is due this year

that YOU and others have done has taken

Taken altogether the day was one
laden with good results, and, let us hope,
the propaganda sown on that occasion
will bear fruit at such rate and of such
a character that before many months
the workers of Cheyenne will be united
in one compact body, and welded in
bonds of fellowship to their brothers
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Assem-
bly, 2487 has now within its fold many
able and energetic men, who will never
weary in the good work but will labor
with all their ability for the unifcation
and advancement of their fellow
workers.
There was strong desire on the part
of some Of the earnest ones of Cheyenne
to have committee on organization
proceed at once to Laramie City forty
seven miles west on the Union Pacific
and organize the workingmen of that
place; but after considerable investiga-
ton and consultation it was decided to
communicate by mail with some of the
active men there for week or so before
taking any positive steps. There can be
little doubt about the need of organiza-
ton at Laramie, and the desire Of the
Union Pacific employees of that place to
combine with their brothers at the other
points, and unless something happens to
prevent, steps will be taken within the
next two weeks to form them either into
assemblies of the Knights of. Labor or
some other protective society. Leading
men of Cheyenne will agitate, by letter,
all along the line of the Union Pacific,
and there are strong probabilities that
before many months the employees on all
branches and in every department of
this road will be united for mutual benefit
and protection.
