THE PANIC WEARS ITSELF OUT,
NO MORE BANK FAILURES RE
RORTED AT DENVER.
Suspended Institutions to be Given
Time to Collect Amounts
Due Them.
Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.

oHCCldl W GLiS hECOkD-ON1ON.
DENVER, July 20.-There will be no
more bank failures here. The panic wore
itself out yesterday. There are scarcely
dozen depositors at the paying tellers'
windows of the remaining banks at the
opening this morning, while at the re-
ceiving tellers' windows several strings
of depositors reaching nearly to the street
are lined up, and money is going back
into the bank vaults almost as fast as it
went out the past three days. There may
be a few commercial failures the next
few days, as result of the bank failures.
but it is believed there will be no bad
ones.
1t is stated that the Mcnamara dry
goods house, which failed last Monday,
mas settled with its principal creditors
and will resume next Monday.
WORK OF FOOLISH DEPosIToRs,
WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Comptroller
Eckels sent dispatch to the National
Bank Examiner at Denver to-day, in
which he says: 81 wish you would an
nounce 10 the officers of the banks which
have failed in Denver that it is my inten-
ton to lend them every aid possible look
ing toward a speedy resumption on their
part, and that l shall grant them suffi-
cient time to enable them to collect such
amounts as are speedily collectible, and
get together such amounts as will enable
them to open on small basis"
The Comptroller advises the citizens
who have foolishly brought about the
crisis by withdrawing funds, to do the
best they can to repair the damaue dome
by redepositing. He authorizes the Ex-
aminer to employ assistance in collecting
money to that end in view, and orders
Examiner McHugh of Iowa to assist him.
Speaking of the matter, he said the fail
ures were not the fault of the bank Off
Gals, but a foolish lack of confidence on
the part of depositors. In all such cases
he would help the failed banks to resume.
DEPLoRABLE CONDITION.
DENVER, July 20.-The closing down
of the silver mines, shelters, reduction
works, coal mines, railways and factories
has put the laboring classes in deplor-
able condition. 1t is estimated that 10. 900
men are idle in Denver and 10000 in out
side towns, half of whom are making
their way to here become public charges.
To avoid this, the commercial bodies will
ask the railroad companies to make
a five-dollar rate to the Missouri River
for this class, in the expectation that
they will be able to get work on the
farms. 1t is estimated that Colorado.
Utah, Montana and New Mexico mer-
chants have countermanded orders for
goods in New York for over So, 900. 900.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Having Wide Bearing on Labor an
Capital Alike.

Having Wide Bearing on Labor and
Capital Alike.
ST. PAUL (Minn.), July 20.-The Su-
preme Court of the State handed down
to-day an important decision which has a
wide bearing on labor and capital alike.
The Northwestern Lumbermen's Assoc
cation has rule providing that no mem
bers shall sell goods at any place at prices
lower than the retail Dealers The Bohn
Manufacturing Company, one of its men,
bers, was accused of violating the rule
and was notified by Secretary Hollis that
circular warning of the fact be sent to
all members. The Bohn Company Sc
cured an injunction restraining the Secre-
tary, on the ground that such boycott
would seriously injure their business.
The lower courts order was TODAY re-
versed by the Supreme Court, on the
ground that the Bohn Company, being
member of the association, should have
conformed to its rules. The Supreme
Court holds that anyone, unless under
contract of obligation, or unless his en-
ployment charges him with some public
duty, has a right to refuse to work for or
deal with any man or class of men he sees
fit, and this right, which one man NAV
exercise singly, any number of men may
exercise jointly.
In the opinion, which is very lengthy,
Judge Mitchell reviews the history of the
case, and says it presents one phase of the
subject which is likely to be one Of the
most important and difficult which will
confront the courts during the next quar-
ter OF century. This is the age of asso-
Citations and labor unions. He continues:
Confined to their proper limits, they are
not only lawful, but laudable. Carried
beyond these limits, they are liable to be-
come dangerous agencies for wrong and
oppression. Beyond what limits these
combinations cannot go without inter-
fering with the legal rights Of others IS a
problem which the courts will be doubt
less frequently called on to pass upon.

WEIR CITY (Kans.), July 20.-The ex-
pected crisis in the Kansas miners strike
came to-day. 1t was caused by the strik-
ers declining to allow miners who are will
ing to work to do so. Just before noon
band of 800 strikers, which had been
marching to various strip pits, reached
Clements pit, about mile south of here,
being headed by hundred women. They
sent Ill committee to persuade the min
ers to quit. A refusal was returned, and
then the entire band of marchers moved
on the works to force the men out. The
stripmen were ready for them, and when
they passed the trespass line they were
1lred upon, and general battle followed,
In which rifles, pistols and clubs were
used. Forum ately nobody was fatally
hurt. One man, one woman and a boy
received painful bullet wounds, and a
number OF people on both sides were
badly beaten with clubs, but no one will
die.
AS result of the battle the men in tho
strip were routed by the strikers and
forced to tieo for their lives, pursued by q
bowling mob. The owner of the pit.

The excitement continues at a high
pitch, and further bloodshed seems in
evitable. 1t is rumored that a quantity
OF firearms have been received here to-
night.
The women, who were mostly Germans
and Bohemians, entered into the fighting
more fiercely even than the men. They
welded clubs with vigor and precision,
and did great execution.
The Sheriff of the county, who is
Populist, declines to furnish protection
for the working miners. He is in sym
pathy with the strikers. The owners will
now employ guards of their own.
