Hartford book and job printers to the number of seventy-hve or eighty ara out on strike for an increase in pay. The new scale, which went into effect on November 1, as drawn up. called for an increase of g per week on all newspapers, making s20 for day and $28' for night work, and an increase of B per week for book and job hands, bringing their wages up to SIS. The newspapers acceded to the new scale without demur, but the book and job offices refused to pay the increase asked. On consideration the union agreed to reduce the scale to $165O, which was agreed to by the greater portion of the offices, but the Case, Lockwood & Brainard Co with few of the smaller offices refused to grant this advance, hence the strike. It is thought that the matter will be settled in 2 few days.

FARMINGTON, N. M, Sept. 49,
The fair may be said to be well under
way and today there are hundreds of
visitors from the surrounding coun-
try viewing the splendid exhibit and
taking in the amusement portion of
the program.
The fruit display is the finest ever
seen in this section and parties over
from Grand Junction say it beats any
thing they ever seen at that point,
outstripping the exhibits during
Peach day festivities. There are also
parties here from other parts of Colo
RADIO and from Albuquerque and the
latter people say the exhibit is superb
in every particular. The great trou-
BILE is lack of room for proper dis
play. The farmers have also been en-
ergetic and the display of vegetables
and various farm products is eXcep-
tionally good. Fruit growers are
here in great numbers and strangers
are being well entertained and fur
nished with much Information.
1t is the present intention to keep
the principal exhibits intact and for
ward same to Durango for the La
Plata county fair next week.
Yesterday afternoon there was a
good crowd at the race track to wit
ness the one-fourth mile race which
was won by Frank Browns mare with
Paul Arrington's horse second.
| In the evening there was minstrel
show which was greeted with full
house, the entertainment being under

DEMOCRATS AND THE
IRRIGATION LAW

Certain Democrats are claiming that
II is especially and particularly due
to the efforts of Congressman Shat
froth and Bell that congress passed
The new irrigation law providing for
the reclamation Of arid lands under
the direction of the secretary OF the
interior.
That act would never have been
passed If it had not been for the rec
concentrations of President Roosevelt
in his message to congress last De-
cembor, to his influence of members of
congress during the pendency of the
bill, and to the energetic and faithful
work of Senators Warren and Hans
brough in the senate, and Mr.. Mondell
assisted by other Republicans In the
house.
The irrigation bill was passed by
the senate early in the session and
with little opposition. The strong
Republican majority In that body put
1t through and sent 1t to the house.
thereby transferring the struggle to
the latter body. Fortunately in the
house the fate of the measure was
entrusted to Mr. Mondell OF Wyo-
ming. who exhibited In It's behalf a
skill in management and tireless en-
ergy that called for the admiration of
friend and foe as well. He appealed
to President Roosevelt for aid when
assistance was most needed. and 1t
was promptly given. fie used his in
tluence with Speaker Henderson to
secure a hearing for the bill, and on
the floor and with members privately
he gained so many friends and votes
that at last 1t was passed with
strong majority.
We do not deny that Messrs. Shat
roth and Bell assisted. but we venture
the assertion that neither of these
gentlemen VIII deny that among
members of congress the chief credit
for the passage of the bill in the
house belongs to Frank Mondell OF
Wyoming. That he is entitled to this
distinction everybody knows who
watched the course of events, and we
challenge any Democrat to ask Mr..
Shafroth when he appears on the
stump whether this statement Is not
| true.
| Mr.. Shafroth was not in situa-
tion to exert much influence in behalf
of the bill. Mr.. Mondell was. Mr..
Shafroth belonged to the minority.
and he knows as well as any one that
a minority member cannot accom-
plish as much as one who is In sympa-
thy and harmony with those who con-
troll legislation.
II is nothing short OF impudence
for Democrats TO claim that the pas
sage of this bill was due to the efforts
Of Messrs. Teller, Shafroth and Bell.
1t never would have been passed II
President Roosevelt had not forced
the question of reclaiming the arid
lands upon the attention of congress.
The influence of the administration
was thrown In behalf OF the measure.
and when II came up in the sen,te
that body was sufficiently informed to
dispose OF 1t In few days. The inhu-
enco of President Roosevelt was still
more valuable in the house. because
there was more opposition in that
branch of congress; but In connection
with the splendid work of Mr.. Mon
dell It was sufficient to carry the bill
through Republican.
