To All Industrial Organizations Of Colorado:
Brothers-Pursuant to instructions given
by the state labor congress held in Denver
last July, the undersigned executive and leg
islative committee OF that congress hereby
issues It's call for the second annual con-
gress TO be held in Denver beginning July 3,

The basis of representation will be one del
egate for each 900 affiliated members in the
case Of central bodies, and one delegate for
each 100 members or majority fraction there
OF in the case OF other industrial organize
tons ltAll organizations with less than 100
members will be entitled to one delegate.
The committee desires to urge the necessity
Of full representation of the congress. The
masses are filed with unrest because OF un-
lust industrial conditions, and We seem as If
standing on a volcano about to break into
tivity and certain to carry ruin and deyasta-
ton to all interests. Not violence, nor threats
nor unreasoning action VIII furnish cure Tor
the times which have come upon Colorado.
The remedy lies In wise deliberation, In the
adoption of wise course and the steady fol-
lowing Of that course. We are now to meet
to continue the work begun one year ago
a work which. II carried to a triumphant con-
clusion, will bring prosperity and happiness
to all classes of honest workers.
The bills which have been prepared by the
committee pursuant to the instructions Of the
last congress will come before the one now
called, and their Importance and character
arc such as to deserve the most careful con-
sideration OF the wisest counsel which our Or
ganizaton can furnish.
We believe that the future prosperity OF
Colorado largely depends upon the wise or
unwlse action OF organized workers at this
time, and no unwise spirit OF economy should

As was anticipated there was a little varle-
ty added to the monotony of the strike situa-
tlon at Hastings Saturday. Early in the
morning the crowd OF visiting miners arrived
from Aguilar, where they had camped during
the night, and rs a sort of a feeler detach-
ment OF fifty headed by a band started to
march TO the mines. When they had reached
the limits OF the town Sheriff Radford at the
head OF posse met them, read his injunc-
tIon papers, and told them that they would
not be permitted TO trespsss on the company's
property. They dencd him, and said that
they would 90 on in spite Of the deputies.
Az they attempted to proceed Mr. Radford
ordered his posse to surround and arrest them,
which was done without any delay. The
prisoners were loaded into box cars and taken
to Chicosa under guard. Later S. p. Cham
bcrs, who was in command of the army and
has been an organizer and general leader, " as
placed under arrest, as were also Dominick
Vironda, 10 Borassa and Il. Malta, the two
latter being found with revolvers In their
possession. The three were at once brought
TO Trinidad aud placed in jail. Habcas cor
pus proceedings were at once instituted by
bu, the matter will not be decided for several
days.
Sheriff Radford in the afternoon released
the fifty miners who were under arrest and
held at Chicosa but the four who were placed
in iail were retained 1t Ia reported that the
strikers congregated at Hastings are leaving
in squads and 1t is not likely that they will be
gotten together again.

A VOICE FROM ENGLAND.
The 1t. Hon. Henry Chaplin Says th'
Decentralization Of silver In 1873
1. tho Cause OF tho Depres-
sion In Europe and

IL
sion In Europe and
America.
An important speech, touching upon wheat
silver. gold and American mining, railroads
and land mortgages, was delivered at Edln
burgh last week by the HI. Hon. Henry Chap
lin, conservative, president OF the board OF
agriculture in Lord Sal!sbury's last govern
menL The speech was an address 10 .
crowded conference OF the Scottish chambers
OF husbandry, and had for It's subject "Biinet
sllism in relation to agricultural depress lon.
The speaker declared that agricultural de,
preston was chiefly due to the steady ana
heavy fall In the prices of produce, which ne
claimed was due to the monetary changes oil
ls13 and could only be stopped by reverunS
10 the previous monetary system.
Nobody could forcsee where the present
fall In prices would end. According 10 the
latest table, the fall from 1873 to ls93 OF 10
per cent. IN wheat amply illustrates this. ne
British commissioners. he added studied the
prices OF wheat in America in 1879, aad he
lieved that 1t could never be exported cheaper
than 30 shilllngs per quarter. But superior
Indian wheat WAS sold last week ut HUI FOR
10 shlllinGs pence per quarter.
Touching upon the farmers OF America he
said that they, especially. were being ruined
and becoming bankrupt faster even than the
British farmers.
Others contend that over production is re-
sponsible for the fall In prices, but he claimed
| that statistics show that the production OF
wheat has decreased, although the prices have
fallen. Therefore, from the point of view OF
the speaker, ii was farcical and ridiculous to
attribute the fall in prices to that cause. The
real cause, he said was the decentralization OF
silver ia 1873 and the subsequent divergence
of the relative values OF metals, which en-
abled the silyer-using countries like India TO
export wheat at the present low price. Mr.
Cha plin also said:
And as silver continues 10 fall there Is nc
reason why wheat should not cheaper linden
nitely. We propose, as remedy, an inter
national agreement 10 revert to the system
which prevailed prior to 1873
