An incident which reflects great
credit on the labor organization of the
country occurred at the late convention
of the American Federation of Labor
in Louisville. Ky. The National
Liquor Dealers association came be-
fore the convention with formal pro-
posal that the two bodies form an of
fensive and defensive alliance. The
liquor dealers were ready to agree, in
the event of this coalition, to employ
only union bartenders and walters. and
to sell union-made beer. For time
it looked as if they might persuade the
labor men, but delegate from Illinois
arose, and in stirring speech recalled
the influence of Miss Frances E. Will
lard on behalf of organized labor, and
urged the convention in. her name to
reject the proposition. When the vote
was taken its was almost unanimously
against the alliance. The knights. of
Labor have also taken the same ground
"a course which will add more
strength to the organization than
would be million dollars in its treas
ury.

rights. This has been expressly ap-
proved by this court in the case of the
United States against the Rio Grande
Irrigation Company. The court has ex-
nmined the rule of the common law,
which provides that every riparian
owner is entitled to the continuous
natural flow of the stream. and has
stated that every state has the power
within Its dominion to change the rule
and to permit the appropriation of the
flowing waters for such purpose as 1t
deems wise.
For at least thirty-five years these
rights have been enjoyed in Colorado,
and property of enormous value has
been acquired. Now comes an appli-
cation for the decree of the court,
which. in effect, shall declare that peo-
pie mot before this COURT must forego
the right to their usual pursuits and
usual business. and permit their prop
erty to become absolutely destroyed
and the lands that have been cultivat-
ed for years to return to their desert
character"
Theb rief goes on to say that in case
the people refuse to obey, the state
cannot cOerce the settlers without a
nullihcation of its own laws. and in
matter where these settlers have never
been heard, or had their rights adjudi-
Gated. the state would in the peculiar
position of being enjoined by the Unit
ed States court while its settlers are in
the position of holding title in compli-
ance with the acts of Congress to the
waters, which the state fOrbids them,
under decree of the court, to use.
