Pre..ed Brick Works Burned.

Golden, Colo. July 23.-Denver Re
publican Special. 1.-The most disastrous
fire in the history Of Golden occurred
about $50 this afternoon when the
Golden Pressed Brick and Fire Brick
Works We're burned to the ground.
The fire started from Il hot box in
the shafting and when first discovered
was small blaze, but before workmen
could get anything to fight it with such
headway had been gained that there
was no checking the flames, and In q
little over an hour the mammoth ma
chinery building, the engine room, and
most Of the sheds were mass of
smoking ruins.
About sixty men and boys We're en-
ployed at the plant and these will be
thrown out of employment for the
present at least. |
This ,s the second time within the
last year that there has been fire at
the works, some Of the sheds having
burned a little less than a year ago.
Golden people were hoping that every
thing would run smoothly at the works,
the strike Of last week having been
settled satisfactorily to all concerned,
but this unfortunate fire will be Sc

ADOPTED AT SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco, July 22.-The relig.

grand meeting held yesterday after
noon at the Mechanics pavilion. About
10000 persons were in attendance and
not a seat vacated until the conclusion
OF the sermon preached by Bishop
Joyce, president of the league. His
theme was Faith In Christ and no
address more eloquent or fervent has
been heard since the assembling of the
convention.
The committee on resolutions report
cd the following, which were adopted:
II. We rejoice In the deepening inter
est among our members in the great
cause of Christian missions and con-
gratulate our organizations, here rep
resented, upon the educational work
which has already been accomplished.
We are greatly delighted by the COM
prehensive and practical plans which
have been devised by our leaders for a
great campaign in behalf of missions
and other benevolence, during the
coming year. We urge all our chapters
to increased study of missionary liter
ature and to fervent prayer for the
coming of the kingdom.
We approve, without reservation,
the plans for Epworth League exten-
sion which provide for the systematic
training OF our young people in Chris

Growing.

Pittsburg, Sept. AT meeting
of the Bayview, Wis, lodge of IL
Analgamated Association, former
Vice President Hickey, of the assoc
citation, who has been investigating
the steel strike situation in the
East, accused the national officers
of the association of misrepresent-
ing the attitude of the United States
Steel Corporation. He declared
that the strike seemed to be lost;
that y per cent. Of the mills are
working, and that It would take
years to repair the damage which
the association had sustained. He
also charged that President ShaffeT
had violated the constitution of the
organization. The strikers claim
that they have gained a victory in
the open hearth department Of the
Duquesne steel plant, and claim
that the mill will be forced to close
to-day. The report is denied by
steel officials, who claim that the
plant is running in full blast. 1t is
said that the men from the BESSIE
mer department have been put to
work in the place Of the men who
walked out.
