BOULDER HARMONIOUS.

The eight hour rule which is now af-
fecting the state so seriously is being
quietly and harmoniously put into effect
in Boulder county. With the exception
O. the Adn tunnel workings at Camp
Frances. changed conditions have been
accepted peaceably by owners and
miners. At Camp Frances the new scale
Of wages ranging from 81 40 TO s. 20 for
eight hours work Is now in force. While
some new men went in to take the strik-
ing miners places. many Of the latter
also returned to work. In other Ward
mines the eight hour scale was put in
force without change of wages. but is
believed that the ultimate effect OF the
rule will be to force Ward to the 81 50 a
day basis the same as the other districts
in the county. Central district, acting
independently inaugurated the rule with.
out cnange of wages, while Gold Hill.
Sugar Loaf. and Grand Island effected
tine same purpose as result Of the con-
ference held here last week.
The samp!ing works and mills Of this
city have all fallen into line. The Kilton
inaugurated the new rule on the first OF
the month at s. day, the Chamberlain
started this week with the usual pay OF
81 50 and both the Delano and Culbert-
son mills will start tomorrow with three
eight hour shifts on the same wages as
hitherto paid for ten hours. In the case
of the two latter, the system may be
changed upon tine return of T. r.. Mann
from the east, but 1t will stand as stated
for the present.
