why No, Arb,,ra,e1

The silk mill strike at this place,
which began the first OF September,
over three months ago, Is still on, and
from outside appearance the silk com
pany and the strikers are farther apart
now than they were when the strike
was first started. II is being prolonged
at an expense to the company, q loss TO
the strikers and IL also effects the
business interests Of town. We don't
believe there would be anything unfair
or unjust TO either employers or employ
ees II the citizens OF the town who are
stockholders In the silk mill would try
to get the difficulty adjusted by arbi-
tration, II II cannot be settled any other
way. In New Zealand there is law
making IL compulsory TO settle all dis
putes between capital and labor by ar
btration. An editorial touching on
the arbitration law In New Zealand
will be found In this issue.
We believe arbitration IL fair way
OF settling disputes and that In this
case capital and labor ought TO be will
ing to submit the existing trouble TO an
arbitration board.

OURAY,s SHELTER.

the Pyritic smelter at Ouray began re-
ceivng ore on MonIay. 1t was expect
ed that the furnaces will be blown in
within week or ten days. The smelt-
er was removed from Ward, where it
had been successful operation until
the closing of one Of its principal ore
sources by legation, and has been install
ed IN the old Badger Mill building
which has been largely remodeled. The
smelter will do custom business, and it's
promoters think they can secure suf-
fering supply Of suitable ore. The smcl-
ter is backed by the same men who are
operating successfully two furnaces at
Leadvlle. The Ouray plant will have
a capacity OF 100 to $50 tons day.

good deal Of talk about it. The new
order will not go into effect until Mon
day for many OF the men, although
those working in the second story OF
the old mill are working ten hours al
ready as consequence OF the order.
There has been II good deal of rebellion
among the men and some are in favor
of strike, although the majority look
at the matter philosophically and do
not want to have any trouble about it.
Some OF the foremen came to work
after being off New Year, and were in
formed that their services would not be
required any longer. The names of the
men who were fired are Livingston, Mel
son, Gleason and one other whose name
could not be learned last night. These
foremen are very popular among the
men and while their release was regetted
by most of them they do not want to
cause any trouble about it. The dis
charged foremen, however, do not look
at 1t in that way and have been trying
to agitate the question and get the un-
ions to take the matter up. The fore
men do not belong to the union. After
Il man accepts foremanship he has to
get discharge from the union. There
fore it is thought there will be no trouble
over these discharges.
The policf of the new management of
the mill is condemned by the men for
the reason that their wages are cut and
they have to work more time. There
have been a good many men laid of
lately and it is understood among the
workmen that another gang will be dis
charged to-day although the report has
no confirmation from an authentic
source. While the men are sore about
a good many things at present no real
trouble is expected and the meeting
last night was not with the authority ol
the union.

His principal dramatic effort was a
chain of three links descriptive of in

his orders to the soldiers at Quebec,
his denial of his country, and his con-
fession Of his secret to Tallyrand 1t
was intensely thrilling and the passion

selections the Village Deba ting Soci-

bashful boy was true to life and the old
Squire, who did not know what to say
was realistic.
His impersonation OF the drunken
man returning from revelry and meet
ing the ghost, in the opinion Of many
was equally as good. Another excellent
humorous selection was that descriptiy,
of the "Man with the Mouse" who con
ldemned his wife for becoming frighten
