MONEY SECURED TO BUILD.
THE NEW M0PFAf| LINE

L. 81
The fact that the total issue of $780,
100000 worth Of bonds of the new road
has been disposed of in such short
time is evidence of the confidence in
vestors have in Colorado enterprises.
While part of the money for the road
was subscribed in Colorado, most of it
came from the East. Mr. Moffat an
nounced shortly after the sale of bonds
was opened last month that he had sold
S., ,000, 900 worth of the bonds to Provi-
dence and New England capitalists,
who are interested with him in the
Denver Tramway Company. The net
value Of the bonds which have been
sold in the East during the last three
weeks amounts to about $13.000.000.
There has been no authoritative
statement to that effect, but it is un-
derstood that a large block of the
bonds has been underwritten by G. M
Boissevain, the Holland banker who
was in Denver last month. Mr. Boisse-
vain and Mr.. Moffat have been asso-
ciated in the financing of railroads in
the past.
President Sylvester T. Smith of the
Colorado-Utah Construction Company,
which is to build the railroad, yester-
day said that the exact route of the
new road would not be made public for
several days. Mr.. Smith announced
early last week that he would make the
route public Friday, but owing to some
minor changes yet to be made, it will
not be given out until some time this
week

VANDERBILT LINES TO
RAISE WAGES OF EMPLOYEES

New York. Nov. 17.-All precedents
In the railroad business have been
broken by the management of the
Vanderbilt lines Of railways running
out of New York.
President w. H. Newman of the
New York Central system said to-day
at the Waldorf-Astoria:
I'VE are increasing the salaries of
our employees all along the line. We
are not arranging horizontal in
crease, but we are advancing our men
on their individual merits. Some of
our men will be advanced as much as
twenty per cent. and others will not be
advanced more than five per cent, but
there will be an increase all along the
line
There have been several reasons
which have led to the determination
to increase the wages of our men. In
the first place, the cost of living has
been materially increased during the
past year. In the next place we are
crowded to death with business, both

A. r. OF l.. WILL
FIGHT FOR PEACE

New Orleans, La, NOV. 15.-The Far
West again showed up strong on the
floor of the American Federation of La
Dor convention yesterday. A resolution
has been formulated that is intended as
a death blow to the American Labor
Union, the big western rival of the
American Federation. 1t is provided
that upon the passing OF the resolution
that all unions holding charters in the
western concern must either draw out
Of II and come to the Federation alone
or else their charters will be revoked
without ceremony. A campaign look
ing to the pushing Of this measure was
opened, and it is said the Colorado del
egation will largely support it.
A resolution was introduced propos-
ing to remove the national headQuar-
ters from Washington to Denver.
Some of the most interesting features
of the day came from delegates over
the Rockies. A. Furnsith of San Fran
cisco introduced q resolution asking
the Federation Of Labor to go on record
as opposed to the building of the Mica
ragua canal, on the ground that 1t
would stir up strife among the small
Latin states and would pree.nitate
bloodshed. Another by Furnsith was
In opposition to the subsidy bills
The great fight of the industrial Or
ganixations was placed on the boards
to-day and tonight. The executive
council is hearing the arguments Of
the Brotherhood OF Carpenters and
Joiners. who demand the revoking Of
the charters OF the Amalgamated
Woodworkers and of the Amalgamated
Society of Carpenters; also the fight Of
the Garment Workers of America. who
ask for the scalp of the clothing work
ers of the West.
Resolved. That we declare our un-
faltering fealty to the trade labor
movement of our country. devoting our
best efforts to the uplifting of the wage
earners OF our country, giving them
hopes and encouragement and appeal
ing to them to unite with organized
workers. so that the fraternity of man
Of the world may be achieved at the
earliest possible date"
This is the message sent out by the
American Federation Of Labor on the
twenty-flrst anniversary of its birth to
the laboring men throughout the
world
The committee on resolutions report
ed favorably on the motion declaring
against the ship subsidy bill. and after
q warm debate 1t was adopted.
Other resolutions reported by the
committee and on which action was
taken are as follows:
For the enactment of mining laws In
the indian territory providing for the
licensing of mining engineers and
hoisting engineers. Adopted.
Other resolutions introduced to-day
were:
That the good Offices of the incoming
executive council be asked to secure
the enactment OF a national law for
disabled working people. and to pro-
vide system OF national insuranc: for
their assistance Turing enforced idle
ness.
That the American Federation OF La
Dor apply to Congress to submit to the
Legislatures Of the several states q
proposition for an amendment to the
general constitution which shall pro-
hibit money fines in court and put the
administration Of Justice to rich and
poor upon the aame footing"
