The following resolutions were

uention held at Victor, Col, May 2:
We, the members of the labor
organizations of the state of Colo.
RADIO, in convention assembled, de-
clare that we believe that the time
has come when the working class
must organize an Independent po-
itical movement to go hand in
hand with the economic movement
for the purpose of conquering the
powers of hesitate, to the end that
the working class may establish
cooperative commonwealth.
First-We declare that we believe
it to be advisable for the conven-
ton to take action looking to the
perfecting of a working class polit-
ical organization.
> "Second-We declare it to be the
duty of this convention to organize
a committee to consist of two mem.
bers from each labor organization
in the state, said committee to
formulate plans for political action
and report to convention to be
held on the Fourth of July next, in

Louis Christensen were married
Wednesday afternoon May 10, at
9l4 East Seventh street. The we'd
ding was a quiet one, only the inn
mediate friends of the couple being
present, and at it's close was served
an elegant supper. The bride and
groom have the congratulations of
their many friends. Their home
will be with Mr.: and Mrs. Elmer F.
Mitchell at seventy-second avenue
west.
Under the weather conditions
prevailing during the latter half of
April, the work being done by the
city was much more favorable to
the days labor plan than what was
included in the previous report.
Rock excavation cost $1.86 per yard,
exclusive of back filings, and the
earth excavation at Lester River,
where the ground was hard packed
and the trenches very deep, AZ
cents; while under the more favor
able conditions at Lakewood, the
cost was only 38 cents. The engi-
neer's estimates for these kinds of
work, as previouslys submitted,
were 81 tor the rock work and 40
cents for the earth excavation.

WHITEWASH BRUSH.
Used by the Board of Public
Works on the Rivetting ofthe
Carroll-Porter Water Pipe.

The board of public works Tues
day investigated the rivetting
being done on the Carroll-Port
pipe. The report has not been. as
yet, printed, but according to the
statements published in the daily
papers the board found that the
charges made by the iron moulders
were overdrawn. This is rather a
peculiar conclusion in view of the
further admission that, with one
exception, everyIstatement made by
Secretary Kriz is admitted. That
exception is the alleged damage to
the pipe.
The board found, says the News
Tribune, that on neither contract
was the work being done in the way
it ought to be done, although they
considered it better on the Hugo
than on the Carroll-Porter contract.
The riveting they do not consider
as good as it should be, nor was
the calking done in thoroughly
careful manner. The contractors
had not exercised sufficient care in
levelling the pipe when placing it
together for riveting, nor in getting
the rivet holes opposite each
other. The workmen and inspect
ors are new to the work, and their
mistakes will naturally be remedied
as theswork progresses.
Here are the admissions categor-
ically:
1.-The work is not being done as
it ought to be.
2-The calking is not being done
carefully.
3-The pipe is not. properly
levelled. This, when it finally
settles, will produce strains at the
joints which will continually be
productive of vexatious leaks.
1.-The rivet holes are not properly
placed opposite each other. It
don't take much of a mechanic to
see that in such cases either the
rivets or the edge of the pipe must
be battered and broken, or else
rivets used that are 100 small.
5-Neither workmen nor in
spector understand their business.
The report reads as if man could
become fully competent rivetter
in two or three days. But even if
that were possible, must the city
pay for the pipe these apprentices
damage while learning their trade?

Railroads are good business barome-
ters, because they are among the prin-
cipal factors of business activity. 1t
cannot do without them, and the more
brisk the current of business, the more
traffic it gives to the railroads and the
greater is their amount of work.
Judged by this standard, the South
seems to have led in the present
march of prosperity, for its railroads
began to feel the pressure of business
early in the year. Statistics just pub
lished show that, in the six months
from January 1 to June 30, the earn
ings of the forty leading railroads Of
the South increased 81, ,4s9, 1O6, or I'LL
per cent. over their business for the
same time last year.

CAsAN, THE TARTAR DWARF,
a Fierce Little MOngolian Who Lived
Centuries Ago.


In the series Of papers ON Historic
Dwarfs," " in st. Nicholas, Mary Shears
Roberts describes the famous Casan.
Mrs. Roberts says:
Casan was the name Of a little Mon
gol Tartar who fourished in the-early
part of the thirteenth century.
He was born i'll the eastern part of
Asia, not far from the ancient city of
Karakorum. His parents belonged to
one of the barbarian hordes that owed
allegiance to Genghis Khan, and Casan
became a fierce though small warrior
and fought bravely under the banner of
the great and mighty Mongol conqueror.
The exact height of this little dwarf
is unknown. He was certainly not over
three feet tall, but he was active and
muscular and, like all his race, could
endure hunger, thirst, fatigue and cold.
The Tartars were unexcelled in the
management Of their beautiful horses.
The leetest animals were trained to
stop short in full career, and to face
without fiinching wild beast or formi-
dable foe. Casan was a born soldier, and

with great skill and could shoot an ar
row or throw lance with unerring
aim, in full career, advancing or re-
treating.
Like many of those small in stature,
he was anything but puny in spirit,

him a troop of wild young Tartar boys
as reckless and daring as himself, oi
whom by common consent he became
leader. He commanded his lawlesi

of dignity and energy, and they obeyeC

Sometimes they would go ON long hunt

When your appetite or sleep is disturbed
