1000 MIN OUT.
BIG CUT MADE BY A COLORADO
COMPANY AT BESSIE
MER.
Colorado Iron and Fuel Company
Makes a Reduction Which Necessi-
tates the Letting Out of Hundreds
of Men-Claims That the Demand
for Steel Rails is at a Standstill.

Denver, Aug. 16.-It was officially
announced yesterday at general offices
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company
in This dity that in the neighborhood
Of 1,6O0 men will be taken off the pay
rolls of the company this morning. The
number of men thrown out Of employ
ment in the Bessemer steel works at
Pueblo is about 1000, at the iron mines
at Orient, near Villa Grove, in Sagua-
che county. between 400 and 500 and
about 100 men engaged in getting cut
limestone in Pueblo county. John l..
Jerome, the secretary and treasurer Of
The company, says that the ratrcnch-
ment is due to the cessation Of orders
or supplies from the railroads and that
1T is only temporary.
On Tuesday Of the present week the
coal properties belonging to the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Coal COM
pany in Colorado will pass into the
control of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company. still it has been stated by
prominent coal men. who claim that
they are in a position to know, that
ultimately this will be the result.
CUTTING DOWN FORCES.
The retrenchment of the forces has
been contemplated for some time by
The officials of the company. The de-
mand for new steel rails had ceased,
but II was not until last Friday night
that IT was decided to lay off the men.
The order was issued by General
Manager kebler and the men were no
tified shat there would be no work for
them OF Monday morning. Manager
Kebler departed for Pueblo early Sat
urday afternoon and he will adjust the
work for the smaller forces at the steel
works and at the iron mines before re-
turning to Denver.
Treasurer Jerome. in speaking of the
retrenchment yesterday. said that he
hoped that it would be but a Short time,
For some little time past" said Mr..
Jerome, there has been a very notice
able falling off in the orders for new
steel rails. The luT in the market has
o been confined to us alone for it is
quite general. The cessation of orders
has been a matter that has been worry
ing us not a little on account of our
men and 1t was not until the last big
order had been worked off that it be-
came necessary for us to curtail the
forces.
There being no demand for steel
laics naturally caught the men ait the
iron mines as we'll as those employed
at Lhe limestone q%uarries. | cannot
say just how many have been thrown
out of employment, but I know that
there are several hundred. The big
gest clTtailment was made at the steel
works. where over 1000 men were laid
off. The mines at Orient will be work
ed by a force nearly 500 smaller than
has been employed regularly and all of
Ihe men have been pulled off of the
limestones quarries in Pueblo county,
MAKING STAPLE ARTICLES.
THE forces that have been retained
at the mines and the steel works will
be kept busy making bar iron, pipes,
spikes. bolts, nuts and other small ar
ticles. Between 500 and 600 men are
now employed in the Bessemer works,

The Order of Railway photographers
has taken up thc cudgel in behalf of
members of the organization on the
Union Pacific system. Yesterday in
the United States circuit court of the
Eishi h district. with headquarters in
Omaha. Assistant Grand Chief Dolphin
OF 0he Order of Railway Telegraphers
filed a petition declaring violation of
the wage schedule and unjust Dismissal
company. Mr.. Dolphin spent two or
three weeks in This city securing evil
dence and preparing papers in the case.
which promises TO prove of great inter
est to order men on the various rail-
way lines in the country. lie left Den
yer several days ago for Omaha, armed
with the necessary proofs and prepar-
ed for a hot legal fight. The presiding
judge of the district is Judge Sanborn.
II is probable that a time will BIZ set
for oral argument as it is desired by
the telegraphers fhat the whole merits
of the case may be entered into and a
ruling Obtained which will obtain
hearing upon roads in The hands
C.! receivers. The case is in
some respects similar to the
famous case in which Judge Caldwell
set aside the rulings of the receivers
OF the Union Pacific system. and re-
qu!red that restoration be made of wa,
ges which had been reduced without
consultation with the representatives
of the men on the lines.
It is alleged that General Manager
Dickinson of the Union Pacific has
been sedulously wedding out order men
on the system, and especially has d.
rocted his attention to the telegraph
department. The object. it is claimed,
has been to d~isintegrate the order. F.
e. Gilliland. chairman of the federated
board, representing all the employees of
the Union Pacific system. and also gen,
eral chairman of the john protective
board of the t~elegraphers. is among
chose who, it is claimed, was decapi-
tated IN account of activity in behalf
Of %unionized labor.
SPECIFIC CHARGES MADE.
In the curse of the petition filed yes
terday the following charge is made:
THE general manager of the receivers,
as well as the general superintendent.
at Omaha. have openly stated and an
nounced their hostility against Gill;
land by accusing him of being a labor
agitator and ~disturber of the peace. and
representing his fellow employees be-
fore them, and requiring Them to ad-
ust grievances arising II of their un-
just and oppressive requirements"
Among the cases cited in which tle
reductions of salary have been made
violation of the previous order of thu
United States court are the following:
Nebraska division-Rogers. agent
to s35 per month. Benton. agent and
operator. SGT per month; reduced to s25
per month. Aida, agent and operator.
$62 per month; reduced to s35 per
month"
UNJUST DISCRIMINATION.
The petition alleges that on the 18th
of May last F. +, Gilliland. agent and
operator of the Union Pacific at Papil-
Ion. Neb.. who had been in the employ
of the Union Pacific for eight years.
was summarily discharged without

A B SENSATION.
Weyler Called 10 Account for the Death
of Gen. Ochondo's Nephew.

Key West, Fla, Aug. 16.-Capt- Gen.
Weyler and Gen. Ochondo were n
principals in a sensational affair which
occurred shortly before the latter sail
ed for Spain. The death OF Gen. Ooh-
ondo's nephew, who was a lieutenant
In THE Spanish army. was the cause OF
the trouble.
There were ugly rumons in circula-
sion rejecting on THE young lieutenant,
who was accused Of conducting a trea-
sonable correspondence with MaxSmo
Gomez, the insurgent chief. When
Weyer heard OF the JUNIORS he sum-
moned the young a to THE palace
and questioned him. Weyler was ap-
parently satisfied Of the young mans
guilt and told him that II he did not
commit suicide in "a hours he would be
courumartialed and shot.
The lieutenant left the palace. went
10 his room and in six hours wax a
corpse. having shot himself Through
thesheart. The affair was hushed up
and the Spanish ofickals report said
the young man died Of yellow fever.
Shortly afterwards Cen. Ochondo az
rived in Havana and learned the true
story ot his neptew's death. He was
greatly enraged. He Immediately went

w transient nature of the many rhys-
cal ills, which vanish before proper f-
forts-gentlc efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, That SO lnany forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n constipatcd condi-
ton OF the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup OF Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
n remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without dcbilitating the
organs on which it nets. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-

is alleged also that the management of

department of the system, promoting

were not members of labor ~organiza-

The petition calls for arbitration to
decide whether the dismissal of en-
ployes of the telegraph department was
jus, and requests that If insufficient
cause be found the men may be rein
stated in their former places with full
pay. and with salary for the time that
has elapsed since their dismissal. 1t is
asked that the schedules recognized by
Judge Caldwell be recognized as in full

the amounts withheld be paid to the
men. .
Although IT has been claimed that
other orders on the Union Pacific sys-
tem have grievances of a character
similar to those OF the telegraphers. 1t
