INCONSISTENCIES.

Yesterday afternoon three men were
talking over the problems Of life and
among them the Inconsistencies OF the
ing years of man The 100 or more
Navajo Indians lowering abont the of.
Ne doora and windows Of the Colorado
Boston Fuel company were the
theme Of conversation The three
talking were Inboring men who depend
upon the sweat OF their brows for cx
cstencc Of themselves and families
One OF them was heard 10 say;
Jack. you remember all last week
that great apostle Of labor. Day Of
The Democrat, was advocating In his
paper the proper thing for lnborng
men to do was to organize and shoot
down those who desired to labor as
thcy please OF run their own business
not give them chance for their
life. ms the greed of corporations would
bring on revolution the conflict not
speedily come Well. now here iS an
instance that shows the Inconsistency
of this man Day II looks TO me all
depends on what he gets out OF II,
Here IL corporation that Is doing n
lot Of work. but You can nnd only q
few white lhboring men on the job,
except walking bosses and those In
charge OF the work. but you Will see
Navajo Indians by the hundred work
Ing for 81 80 day and bonrd And
yet this nan Dny does not deign to
notice It In The Democrat. Why
| The corporation carries an advertise
ment and gives The Democrat other
work In fact Il is u small money
consideration and Day Is blind to the
| fact that white labor In shut out.
The 81 so day is probably MI the In.
iians are worth"
The above is given for the simple
purpose OF showing the Inconsistency
| If the man who runs The Democrat
| No outfit In the laboring world has n
| tougher name than The Democrat
| In fact the record OF The Democrat On
| labor is known all over the state and
II IL almost impossible 10 secure u
| printer within the confines of the
| state to work there at the same time
| ne tut'i ~ ''h'lhhhliN nhNhhS N"'"'
| what lahorinp men should do and that
| no one has righ, to run his own busl.
| ness, The whole business is simply
political. Day has no use for labor
| lng people. as has been clearly shown
| In The Democrat Office. as II became
necessary for the printers to organize
| 10 force The Democrat to pay decent
l t,I Ia. M Frhn hsfaltl
| was paying. and to also work its men
| the regulation hours. aud at the time
| II was bowling for eight hours for
| other corporations aud The Democrat
was working it's men 10 TO "a hours.
| This can be proven for money consid'
| Grafton Therefore. all that Is deslr
ed IN TO fool the laboring man and Sc
| cure his vote this fall
AZ to the right of the Boston Fuel
company to hire whom II pleases no
one denies. and as II is spending mon.
cy and developing an industry that
will prove of benefit to the town and
| country. The Herald recognizes that
light. and the company IL doing sim
ply what all other railroad contract
ors are doing over the country. and
this article is only to show the great
noonsistency-tha this man Day
| would dictate TO some and allow 9th.
ers to do as they please-wheu there
is anything in II for him. This is
shown In the case of the Colorado Tel.
cphone company.
The Herald believes in paying good
wages and that laboring men have u
right to organize for self-protection.
but this fool rot appearing day after
day makes on sick In the light of ey.
listing circumstances
