BOULDER BUILDERS.
A Combination Against Which Ownsrs A Are
Complaining.

A Combination Against Which Owners Arc
Complaining.
1t is stated today that the combination,
the complaint against which was mention.
ed in these columns yesterday. does not
include the lumber men nor the lumber
contractors. The several principal lum
Der firms of the city this morning made a
positive denial of the statement that only
certain contractors could purchase ma
terial from them, and stated further that
anyone with the money could secure
lumber at the same rates that have pre-.
vailed since last November. They ex-
cept however, plasterer's mate rials.
which, according to an agreement now
prevailing, can only be sold to union
plasterers or to an owner himself.
1t is lderstood, the plasterers
are tr 10 change this agreement so
that oal Mon men can secure plaster.
er's n are .als. 1t is stated further that
the combination which does exist in.
cludes merely the brick contractors and
the brick manufacturers. The price for
labor in this last particular has been low iu
Boulder for some time, and together with
irregular work, rendered the lot of the
bricklayers hard one. A union was
consequently formed and it is asserted
that instead of merely advancing gradu
ally to reasonable rate, the union raised
the price out of all proportion and es.
tablished rules more aggravating than
the rates. 1t is stated that now when an
owner presents his specifications for a
bid, they are submitted to the union. and
each member of the union proceeds to
bid independently. These bids are then
returned and opened by the union. An
average is then taken and the bidder
coming nearest the average gets the con-
tract. In return he pays the union six
per cent of his contract price, which sum
is distributed to the members The
scale of prices that are now charged for
labor represents an increase of ten cents
an hour for labor or 81 for an eight hour
day. The price of brick is also advanced
one dollar per thousand.
These are the conditions that are con-
fronting the owners of the city and which
threatens to check the building progress
of Boulder. 1t is stated that already a
number of prospective builders have
ceased operations and are waiting for a
change of conditions One citizen
who has just constructed several build.
ings positively asserts that he will 60 to
Denver for both bis labor and material
in the future unless a change is made.
The union has shut out the minor
masons from securing material and a
man is unable to have chimney or an
ash.pit built without first consulting the
combine. AS one gentleman expressed
it this morning, "The union has good
morsel in its mouth. 1t seems to the
members so good in fact that they are
not content to roll it around in their
mouths but are inclined to suck it."

EASTERN LEAGUE MEETING.
The Brush "Black List" Rule Adopt
ed in Its Entirety

New York, March 9.-The Eastern
League of Professional Baseball Clubs,
at its annual Spring schedule meeting
held in the Fifth Avenue Hotel today,
followed the example set by the National
League at St. Louis last week indors-
ing and adopting the Brush black list"
rule, which was drawn to punish players
who use obscene language on the ball
field The Eastern League also adopted
the special umpire rules of the big or
ganiZation which gives power 10 umpires
to suspend kickers for a period of not
more than three days. 1t was admitted
by all of the delegates that rowdyism
would have to be suppressed as summa-
rily as the National League had decided
to do, and when Delegate Franklin. of
Buffalo, moved that the black list rule in
it's entirety be adopted there was not n
dissenting voice. Power was bestowed
upon the president of the league. Pat. L.
Powers, to select a board of discipline 20
consist of three members.
While the delegates did not sign an
agreement to keep their players from
kicking, they assured one another in the
most positive way that kicking and I'M
sportsmanlike tactics would be tabooed
this year on every ground in the league.
The fact that the Eastern League is in
a most prosperous condition was demon
| strated by the rapidity with which the
delegates accomplished their business.

How it is Treated and
Cured by the New
rlethod.

Asthma is usually known as paroxysms
of difficult breathing. lasting from
few hours to several days, coming on
at intervals, to be followed by remis-
sions, during which the patient breathes
with comparative ease.
The attack returns again at regular
intervals, or is provoked by exposure
to cold, damp air, severe efforts, or even
mental emotions. During the attack the
respiration is labored, with wheeling.
frequent cough and threatening suffoca-
ton.
Treatment and Cure.-There is prob
ably no disease of the respiratory organs
which submits so quickly to "HYOMEI'
and the Australian Dry-Air Treatment
as Asthma. a few moments use of the
Inhaler giving Immediate relief in the
most severe cases, while its daily use
invariably cures. In chronic cases few
drops of "HYOMEf' placed on piece
of clean flannel and pinned to the night
robe will prevent an attack and insure
a good nights rest to the patient, curing
the disease while he sleeps.

Great interest is manifested by har

the great pacing gelding Frank Agon is
TO make his temperance on the turf the
coming season. Agon's last race was at
Lexington in go In that event he
wrenched an ankle badly and was not
fit for work all last year. He has come
around all right now, however, and Is
looked to for some great work when he
again takes to the track. Agon's mark
is 2:03 81. In 1885, the Irish horse,
as he is called, was one of the star per-
formers among the harness brigade. He
was then a wonderful racing machine and
at different times gave the dust to all
of the great PAGERS. including Star Point
err Robert j.. and Joe Patchen. One of
his most sensational races was when he
took into camp Robert j. and Joe Patchen
at Cleveland, going three heats in 2:05,
2:04, 2:04 3-4, but he went a better one the
next week at Columbus, although he was
defeated. He won the first heat in 2:03 81
and finished almost head and head with
Robert j. in the next three in 2:Oi IL,
2:04 IL, 2:02 ga. This is the fastest four
heat race ever paced, and when the two
met at Providence, r. l., a few weeks
later, they paced the best five-heat race
ever witnessed. This time the verdict
was reversed, Agan taking the last three
heats in 2:05 IL. 2 % IA, 2:06, after hav-
ing forced little Robert out in the first
two in 2:03 IA and 2:05. Later in the sea-
son he met Gentry and Pointer, then in
transcendent form, and could beat
neither. Still he gave Pointer tough ar
gument and forced him to break the rec
ord for three heats at Readville, Mass,
| the time of the race being 2:02 1-2, 2:03 IL
| 2:03 ga, which has never since been
| beaten. Only two weeks before he had
| forced Gentry to go three heats in 1903 81
2:03 Ia 2:03 IA, at New York which at

give the Easterns a closer run than they
did, but the splendid team work and free
