forth with a statement that all men who
accept positions i'm the fiattening depart
ment Of their factories on next Saturday
will be given apprentice papers and made
members of L. A. 800. the blowers and
gatherers' association. This puts a differ
ent aspect on matters and accounts for
the manner in which the latter association
has taken sides with the American Com
pany. If the fiatteners still refuse TO go
to work Saturday the fight promises to
be long and bitter, as the executive board
of the American Window Glass Company
has set aside a half million dollars to light
the regular fatteners' association. They
state that before they will allow their
plants to stand idle for want of iatteners
they will import workmen from Belgium
to fill the places. The managers of both
factories in this city are daily hiring men
for this department, and the Big Four has
a sufficient number.

way is known as the Denver Land

of the Knickerbocker Trust COM
pany of New York city, trustee
for the holders of the first mort

The complaint stated that the
bonds amount to $50, 900 and
were secured by lands owned by
the company in Arapahoe, Doug
las and other counties and by the
Arapahoe ditch. II was stated
that the company has not paid
the taxes on these properties in
1898 or 1899, and hence was al
lowing the property to beceme
encountered to the damage of the
bondholders.
The company and the holders
of the second mortgage bonds are
made the defendants. Mr.. Alsop
has long represented the bond
holders and is now in Connecticut
arranging for the rebuilding of
the dam, which can be restored
only through the receiver issuing
bonds to cover the enormous
expense of practically renewing
all that was done under fraudu-
lent contracts two years ago.
