New York, May 14-United States
Labor Commissioner Carroll D.
Wright was at the Fifth Avenue hotel
last night. Speaking of labor matters
over the country, he said:
Il have been censured somewhat for
a remark attributed to me. I was
quoted as saying that in my estima-
ton there would be no strikes this
summer. 1t was simply a misconstruc
tion. The idea I wished to convey
when made the statement was that
there would be no strikes this summer
that would assume the proportions or
Importance of the labor troubles last
summer. OF course there will, in all
probability, always be strikes, but 1
think they will amount to very little
this summer
Referring to the recent strikes IN
Chicago, which resulted in violence,
Mr. Wright said: az do not think the
labor troubles there will be Of any
great duration or proportion. OF
course, I don't want to talk Of the
causes, or who is right and who IS
wrong; but from my own observations
I think that the Chicago trouble will
be speedily adjusted. One thing which
pleases me greatly is the voluntary
raising of wages in western Pennsyl-
vania, eastern Ohio and West Virginia
and that confidence in the future
seems to be fully restored. AS a re-
suit of this, old plants are resuming,
and in the vicinity Of Pittsburg alone
over 10000 workingmen have received
an advance during the last week.
THAT is in direct line with my creed.
The gospel I preach is fellowship be-
tween employer and employee. If en-
ployerS would raise wages when times
are good, as they are now doing. the
men would not be suspicious when
their wages were cut in periods of
financial depression, but would under
stand and bear their portion of the
burden as it stood, and wholesome
reciprocal policy would be main
tained.''

VIII Fight to n Finish.

Haverhill, Mass, May 14.-The re-
port of the foreclosure Of a 100000
mortgage on the Good Hope gold mine,
at Riverside, Colo, has created con-
siderable excitement in this city.
Dudley Porter, president of the Merri-
mac National bank of this city, a
shareholder Of the mine, said today:
1.-The Good Hope mine was bought by
a party of local gentlemen about a
year ago for $4,000. c. w. Morse, at
the time trustee of the Charleton
estate here, was instrumental in
foiSting the mine upon us by false
representations as to its value. We
soon discovered that the mine had
been "salted," and was worth nothing
like the price paid. Several of the
lost every cent put into
it. The orinigal owner of the mine, a
New York man, named Sigalfus, has
foreclosed the 100000 mortgage, but
the stockholders will fight the fore
closure, alleging that the mine was
worth much less than they paid for it.
The mine is now paying expenses

THE SONG OF THE RIO GRANDE

BY silver mist this morning the peaks
to the south were crowned,
Their feet on the prairie level in ankletS
of silver bound,
And midway like ebon girdle, were the
bright dark fir trees wound.
The rain had freshened the landscape till
diamonds and pearls were spread;
Wherever a twig of aspen or a grass
blade reared its head.
The sun tho hidden by storm-cloud, on
missions his slant beams sped.
My eyes were blind to this beauty, my
heart was sick of its load;
The feet that had slept beside me, had
turned from my thorny road
To the pastures green beyond US, where
rivers of life on-fowed.
doth bloom a flower,
The height of those pond'rouS ranges
compelling to cringe and cover,
Till the song of the Rio Grande stole to
me with ductile power.
1t sang. One gathers the tempest and
guardeth the thrush's nest,
Upheaveth the red Volcano and calmeth
the oceans breast,
He giveth to His beloved the infinite boon
of rest.
AS high as the mountain reacheth, yet
hath the valley part,
In the wonderful love that knoweth each
throb of the earths great heart,
And thou who treadest the valley more
dear than the mountains art.
Still saw I the beetling turrets deiantly
cut the blue,
seemed suddenly sublimely new.
For the song of the Rio Grande from
their heart its music drew.
