LITTLE CHANGE IN
STRIKE SITUATION
Strikers, Masters, and Bosses
Decline to Give In.
Carpenters to Have a Conference Today
That May Result Sat-
isfactorily.

The strikers of four trades are still as
reluctant as the masters and bosses to
give up in their demands. The plumbers
strike stands about the same as it did
a week or ten days ago. The carriage
makers still declare they will win, and
the workers on leather goods are still
demanding what they claim to be their
rights.
The carpenters strike is perhaps the
nearest TO an amicable adjustment A
committee from the Central Labor Union
and the Building Trades Section will
meet in conference this afternoon the
bosses who have not yet acceded to :he
committees requests.
A prominent builder OF the city was
seen yesterday in regard to the carpen-
ters' troubles and he stated that the fight
was not with the carpenters as individ-
Federation of Labor and the knights of
Labor. He stated that the trouble has
been brewing for several years. For some
reason the two labor organizations have
never been on friendly terms. The feud
is said TO have grown TO such large ex-
tent now that the members of the two
organizations refuse TO work in the same
shop or at the same building or job.
while il would be far better for the
men who are at the head of these organi-
cations TO give their time and thought to
the subject of bettering their respective
unions, the two are continually fighting
each other" continued the speaker.

Hopes of the Carpenters.

At the conference which is to be held
this afternoon it is hoped by the commit
tee that the builders will say that they
will hire only c. L. U. carpenters. If this
is done the bosses will have TO let go
about $50 X. of L. men. The Brotherhood
men say they will continue TO fight until
their demands are acceded to. Since the
George A. Fuller Company acceded there
are only about fifty carpenters who are
still unemployed.
In speaking of the plumbers strike, Mr..
William NJ. Merrick. president of the
Journeymen Plumbers and Steam Filters
International Union, said that there was
little likelihood of the local strikers los
ing their fight. He stated that he had
come from the international headquarters
in Chicago, and was sure everything there
was all right.

ON ELIZABETH cAOY STANTON
BY WALTER HURT, THE ET-

In fbe plenitude of praise that has
been favi,hed upon the memory of
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, it would
seem that the last appreciation had
been said But now that more gifted
ones have brought their tributes and
departed, | would emerge for a mo-
ment from the shadows of obscurity
and lay simple blossom among the
garlands upon her grave.
Beside the bier of this wonderful
woman it is not easy to refrain from
superlative speech. It is possible that
she was the grandest public character
of her generation. It is probable that
she was the greatest force for good.
that has entered into this era. Ger
tain it is LAT she was the foremost
representative of her sex and a cul-
minant product of the presents civil.
ization
Mrs. Stanton taught with irrefrae.
able theories, but she lived her own
best lesson. Her personality was
answer to the ancient question of
whether woman is fitted to exercise
the right of suffrage.
1t is my opinion that Mrs. Stanton,
considered by enduring results, was
agandist that ever lived. Of course
the fact that she was a woman made
her evangelism more effective. But
the circumstance OF sex is incidental
i'll accounting for her pre-eminent
power. Her commanding intellect,
her compelling character, her unim-
peachable sincerity and the admirable
dignity of her methods afford an ade-
hnr i'm, IN,
fuence and prodigious accomplish
ment.
One other person only can approx
innate her. recorl in the advance

But that inspired iconoclast had not

sphere was narrower, the field of his.

He directed his efforts against relig
lous dogma and concentrated his at
tacks upon the church, to the exclus-
ion OF nearly every other phase of re-
form. His great contemporary was
more comprehensive in her interests,
more cosmopolitan in her thought.
Mrs. Stanton was less eloquent than
Ingersoll, but more convincing. She

truth, She subordinated self to the
cause. What she lacked in rhetoric
she supplied with reason, and always
she found logic a weapon superior
to levity. She preferred to instruct
rather than to amuse, and her ear
nestness appealed to serious hearers
the shallow tricks of spectacular
speech
She was not specialist. She con-
sidered wrong in the aggregate. To
her its form was unimportant, and
she attacked every phase of tyranny,
intolerance and superstition with an
impartiality that knew no differentia-

If the Bible story of creation be true,
and it were possible for Us to be car
ried back into the early beginning and
behold life as it was lived ia those
first years of creation, what picture
would greet our eyes!
We would see fathers giving their
daughters to their sons in marriage.
What more,
We would see fathers taking their
own daughters to the marriage bed.
The spinning wheel, the shuttle and
the loom had not yet been invented,
and the inhabitants OF the earth, in
tropical lands, were wearing only the
modest zig leaf for a covering, and in
solder zones, the skins of animals and
the barks of trees.
The stove, the chimney place, with
the swinging crane, the bedstead and
spring mattress, soap, and other
articles of household luxury, virtue
and necessity, were not then dreamed
Of, and husbands and wives, fathers
and mothers, sons and daughters,
brothers and sisters, slept upon the
ground, huddled promiscuously to-
ether, on beds made of moss and
leaves, for all the world like the big
and little piggies of our day.
The government was theOcracy.
And although under the direct and

whatever we may think of it, the fact

But in the growth, development and

have changed, we think they have
grown mere lovely and ErdLle, and the
customs and habits of the people that
prevailed then could not and would
not be tolerated for moment now.
If Abraham. Isaac Jacob, David or

self-same practices and indulgencies,
they would find themselves out of all
harmony with our civilization, their
customs repugnant to our religion and

Never Heard of 1t.

One of the oil operators of the city
handed the writer copy of The
Petroleum Gazette, an oil journal
published in Pittsburg. Diligent
search was made through the columns
of the journal for some mention of the
Florence field, but it was not until
the last page was reached that the
name of Florence could be found
And there it appeared in an ADVERTISE
ment of the Oil Well Supply company
where the statement was made that n
branch store of the company was To-
Gated at Florence, Colorado.
As the Florence field is only about
fifteen years old news of its discovery
has probably not yet reached the
Gazette.
