THE MINERS GRIEVANCES.
A Full Explanation of the Cause
of the Strike.

Chandler, Colo, Jan. Is, 1901
/ Editor OF THK TRIBUNE.
The national organization of the
United Mine WorkXs of America
has recently been organizing the
coal miners of Colorado, Wyoming,
New Mexico and Utah as district
10 The Q. f. Il l Co, have been
discharging their men for joining
the union and declared their in
tentious of com batting the institu-
tion of any union among their
coal miners. As direct result of
their action and decision John
Mitchell, the national president,
ordered all employees of the COM
pany, acknowledging the juris
diction of the organization, 10
cease work.
1t has been the policy of the
officials of the {. NJ. W. of A. to
have its members draw up state
ment of their grievances, and
present them to the executive
board for consideration, the griev-
ances are then investigated and if
found worthy of support every
effort is made to adjust the trouble
by Cancellation or arbitration;
strikes or lockouts being a last
resource.
The G. f q company, by their
action, have forced the men to
assert their choice by coming out
and fighting for their existence as
a united craft.
AT meeting of local 1461, L.
NJ. w of A, Rockvale, Colorado,
held yesterday, the following CON-
mittee on grievances, Ed W Jones,
chairman; X w. Owens, Frank
Papist, Geo. B. Marco, l.. A.
Welch, secretary, stated the fol-
lowing;
First-We demand gross weight,
that is all coal to be weighed in
pit cars on top.
Second We also demand
check -weighman, his wages to be
held in the company office as it is
now done in the East
Third That not more than two
men shall work in one place at the
same time.
Fourth-That all dues, fines and
assessments levied by local I46l,
shall be held in the company's
office as is now done in the state
of Illinois.
We further recommend that
copy of these grievances be pre-
sented to the public press for pub
lication, by the district secretary,

District Secretary.

gun they again headed up into the

back to their former positions. Both
were on the port tack and close
hauled. with the Columbia on the
weather quarter of the challenger.
The American boat was first to
come about after the warning gun
at 10:55. The Shamrock II immedi-
directly astern of the defender, at the
same time breaking out her tremea-
dous ballon jib and letting fall to
starboard her spinnaker pole. 1t was
Captain Sycamores game to cross
last if possible. This he was able to
do. but while he had the pride Of po-
sition in e leeward start, he found
himself 80 seconds behind the handi-
cap gun.
Captain Barr. in the mec- ':me, had
delayed breaking out r. light sails
and still held the Columbia's sheets
in fat. Thus. he. too handicapped
his boat in crossing but not so much
as his rival for it is estimated that
he was only 15 seconds behind the

both boats were broken out on the
line and away they went on what
proved to be the last race eli the IN
