More Than Half Holiday

The thanks of the working classes has
again been earned by the firm of Daniels
d Fisher of Denver, who on Saturday
last issued an order increasing the num-
Der of summer Saturday half holidays,
which brings gladness to the hearts of
600 employees Of that house and their
families.
Major William Cooke Daniels, the
head of the house of Daniels Il Fisher,
holds some views with regard to the re-
iations of employer add employe which
are rather unique among successful bus
mess men and foreign 10 present day
methods. Among other things he holds
that the largest amount of freedom and
, comfort and opportunity that are com
patible with the prosperous conduct of
his business ought to. be given to those
connected with his establishment He
seems to feel that the benefits OF such a
policy outweigh any sacrifice he may
have to make. These views have led to
the founding of school for employees,
an insurance system and other similar
institutions which contribute to the vel
fare OF all connected with the house.
One of Major Daniels pet prajects is
the summer Saturday half holidays 1t
IS not very long since the Saturday half
holiday was almost unknown in Denver.
Daniels & Fisher have allowed them in
midsummer for about five years and last
spring Major Daniels eytended Than, 10
include all of June, July and August
and half of September. This year he
takes still another step and orders his
store closed on Saturdays at l o'clock
during the latter half of May, all of
June, July and August and the first
three Saturdays OF September
The financial loss which the firm sus
taips by this move is, of cou Sc, consid
erable, but Major Daniels is willing to
stand that for the good of his people,
which is sure to follow.

TO MAINTAIN PRICES.

Franklin Ballou, vice president OF the
Bimetallic smelter at Leadville, recently
returned from the East, in discussing
the smelter trust gives it as his opinion
that the consolidation OF the big smelt-
ing interests Of the country would in no
wise cause any hardship to the mining
industry, but, on the contrary, would
foster the operations Of the miners. Mr.
Ballou thinks that tho consolidation will
have the effect Of keeping up the price
OF both silver and lead. He does not
think there is any danger whatever Of
the two local smelters at Leadville clos.

ton OF the new trust will In every way
