BOYCOTT By DENVER FIRMS.
DEPARTMENT STORES AT WAR
WITH THE NEWSPAPERS.
They Demand Arbitrarily That Ad-
vertfsfng Rates BE Reduced 20
Per Cent.-Sot an Ad. Appears
traor7fnary

DENVER, Jan. fan extraordinary
contest has started IL this city. with al
the daily papers on one SIDE and four
teen Of the largest dry goods. clothing
and department stores on the other. No
advertisement CT any Of these firms ap-
peareG IA to3ay's papers, and formal no
toe has been given that none viii ap-
pear until the papers accede 20 The de-
mands Of the merchants
Last week the business managers OF
the dailies were inforrnod that the de-
EaFtfnf nt-stoEe combination had ar
n1IraElIy decided that advertising rates
must be reduced about % per cent Tne
hsEas declined 10 enter into discussion Of
ths justice Of the demand, simply stat
ing that they had given their uItimatum
They control about 70 Per cent. Of the
regular city advertising, and believe that
the papers must submit TO their dic.a-
ton, Notwithstanding that advertising
rates In Denver are lower than IN any
ether city CT the same size in the country
The newspapers replied that conees-
Sons 10 the aut0craJic order was not only
impossible for business reasons. but
would destroy the independence of the
press. IL the department stores could
TX rates arbitrarily at their pleasure
they could otherwise dictate in all mat
tiers OF policy. and the papers would be-
come mere handbills, without influence
or self-respect.
The first result OF the contest is the
passage Of a resolution by the Trades
Assembly calling on the city council 10
impose a heavy license on department
stores, and warning all members OF labor
unions against them.
the smaller merchants are taking adj
vantage OF the opportunity to increase
their advertising. In Denver, as In other
cities. department stores have been
crushing the smaller stores. and the lat
ter are exceedingly glad of the chance
10 cut into the business of their larger
rivals. There was noticeable decrease
In the size CT the usual Monday bargain
hunting crowds In the department stores.
The firms which are trying the novel
and dangerous experiment OF doing bust
ness without advertising are:
Schradsky Clothing Company, Cordes &
Feldhauser Carpet Company. The Monasn
fler Company. May Shoe and Clothing
n.y. The skinner Brothers x Wright Com
pany. Daniels & Fisher. The Colorado Dry
Goods Company. The Denver Dry Goods
Germany. Bradley & Bakely.. The Joslin
Dry Goods Company. l. II. Guldam, Appel
4 Co. \. 7. Lewis & Son.
J N Huston. treasurer Of the United
States under Harrison. in an interview to-
day says that he believes the great depart
ment stores IN all the cities of the country
are secretly Joining forces TO concentrate
their power. In the opinion that such
trust may be successfully organized 10 con-
troll the retail business OF tAe country in
every branch. He says:
"The trust would not be a dream were
II made a national institution. 1t would
control the price Of everything. and iqdi-
rectly the interest rate on money, politics
and everything else"
