6. a. X. Veterans Favor Building a
Home for Crippled Confederatcs.
DENVER (CoL), May 2.-Beiore the G.
A. K. encampment of the departments OF
Colorado and Wyoming convened to-day
there was much discussion among the
veterans in attendance of the recon-
mendation made by Department Com
mander Rollins for the appointment of a
committee to prepare memorial to the
next national encampment in favor OF
extending financial aid to Confederate
Veterans.
The suggestion was generally received
with favor and leading members ex-
pressed their opinion that the principle
advocated by General Rollins will re-
ceive the Endorsement OF the encamp-
nent, which resumed in secret session
at 10 o. CLOCK to-day.
The impression that has gone abroad
that General Rollins favored the extend
ing OF pensions to Confederate veterans is
incorrect. What he proposed was the es-
tablishment oil q home for the indigent
and suffering Southern veterans. His
exact words were as follows:
"Ihere remains one other subject of
which l wish 10 speak. The war is over.
We are, l may almost say, for the first
great enough. intelligent enough, suffi-
cienlly advanced i'll all that goes to make

rious 10 be generous aud even liberal 10

many parts of it. is not the home but
rather the stopping-place OF many poor.
crippled, broken-down old men. They
were brave soldiers, not leaders, but In
the ranks of the army, whose record for
bravery and soldierly conduct cast no
stain upon our fame as nation among
nations. True. they were not our COM
rsdes in a Grand Army sense, but they
are our brothers in an American sense.
A home somewhere In the sunny South,
where these soldiers can be cared for,
sheltered, fed, clothed and in sickness
nursed. will cost but little, comparatively.
1t will soon be too late to be generous.
There is but one place where a move
ment of this kind can start, and that is In
the Grand Army OF the Republic"
This forenoon's session of the encamp-
ment was spent in routine work. AS far as
was learned there was no discussion over
General Rollins recommendation and no
action was taken in regard thereto.

The Santa Fe Refuses to Reinstate
Those Who Joined in the Strike.
TOPEKA (Kas.) May Renewed ap-

Manager Frye of the Santa Fe for the re-
instatement Of the American Railway
Union men who struck last year. but he
refuses to recede from his original de-
termination to lake none such men back
into the employ of the company.
"These men," he said. 'had permanent
work, and could have retained their posi-
tons just as long as they performed their
duties and obeyed the rules and regula-
tons, but they saw proper to connect
themselves with an irresponsible Organl-
zation, rather than to remain loyal to the
company which gave them steady em-
plOyment and furnished them with
means OF support for themselves and
families"
In conclusion, Mr.. Frye said: Surely
the management cannot be blamed for
the present condition of these men, as
due warning was given to all employ es
before the strike took place, protesting
against any action OF our employees in
support OF the American Railway Union
in its fight"
