MONEY SECURED TO BUILD
THE NEW MOFFAT LINE

The fact that the total issue OF s2o.-
100000 worth of bonds OF the new road
has been disposed of in such a 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
Sc, ,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 s13.O00.000.
There has been no authoritative
statement to that effect. but IL is un-
derstood that a large block Of the
bonds has been underwritten by G. NJ.

was in Denver last month. MIR. Boisse-

pute between President Shaffer. OF the
Amalgamated Association OF Steel
Workers. and President Gompcrs. OF

broke out afresh in the labor conven-
tIon to-day, and there is every pros
pect that on this occasion the fight
viii be to n finish.
The charges were originally made
by President Shaffer after the termin-
alton of the great steel strike in 1901.
They were to the effect that President
Gompers and President Mitchell. of
the United Mine Workers. had been
guilty of un-unionlike conduct in re.
fusing to support his organization in
Its tight. They. on the other hand,
asserted that the association over
which President Shaffer presided was
trying to violate its agreements and
that his stand was untenable.
Delegate Sheridan. OF the Amalga-
mated Association. a colleague OF
President Shaffer in the convention,
threw the bomb by asking unanimous
consent to introduce resolution
calling for an Investigation Of the
charges. Both parties announced that
they courted the investigation and IL
will be referred to a ,Decial commit.

A. F. 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
death blow to the American Labor
Union, the big western rival of the
American Federation. II Is provided
that upon the passing OF the resolution
that all unions holding charters in the
western concern must either draw out
of 1t 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 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.pitate
bloodshed. Another by Furnsith was
in opposition to the subsidy bill
The great fight of the Industrial Or
ganizations 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
IL fz., .f r.. .I-
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-lrst 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
a warm debate it was adopted
OlHcI Dy the
Noommittee 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
holsting 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 a system of national insurance for
their assistance during enforced idle
ness.
That the American Federation Of La
Dor apply to Congress to submit to the
Legislatures of the several states a
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 same footing"
