VIII bar UnskiIied Labor.

Denver, June 1S.-The Republican
this morning says: The strike Of the
hOdcarriers and the expulsion Of their
union from the Building Trades Coiln-
ell has been further aggravated by an
unwritten law adopted by the council
Mt its last meeting. II was unanimous
ly voted to hereafter exclude all
unions Of unskilled labor from the
council. The delegates from the build
ing trades say their organizations arc
mede mp of class OF men who refuse
to be reasoned with and In standing
by them in unjust demands the skilled
artisans, who have spent years In
learning their trades, frequently III.
jure the cause of their own unions.
The complication arises from the
fact that the State Federation of La
Dor has all along favored the Organi-
zation Of unskilled labor and will un-
questionably take the hodcarriers and
similnr bodies under It's protecting
wing and wage something Of n war
against those building trades organiza-
tions which work with non-uniOn men.

GREAT WESTERN RAILROAD
COMBINATION PERFECTED

Chicago. June 17.-That the Harri-
man combine has secured control OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
and that composite agreement has
been made to perfect n community OF
interests among roads with tracks
enough to twice belt the globe, IL gen.
orally accepted In railroad circles. The
sudden departure OF Mr.. Hartman for
the East, accompanied by John NJ.
Mitchell OF the Illinois Trust and Saw
ings bank, was announced In support
Of the statement that Mr.. Mitchell
and other bankers would furnish the
funds for the completion OF the Mil
waukee and st. Paul transfer.
The meeting Of the western officials
with Hartman is believed to have
been the result OF the. recent contro-
versy over the contnDl OF Northern Pa
cific stock, which drove short holders
to cover Mt $1,000 share. A few
small roads out OF Chicago are not
parties to the agreement, but II is un-
derstood that they will consent to any
thing that will maintain rates and end
the squabble that has been kept up In
the past among the various western
lines.
