Eiqht-Hour Controversy.

Denver, Dec. 5.-A Trinidad special
to the News says: 1t Is learned that
John Mitchell, at yne of the confer
ences held in this city, either last
night or yesterday, took occasion to
express his displeasure at the prac-
tice OF some of the national organizers
Of talking too much and of making
statements regarding the conduct of
the strike, which under no circum-
stances would be sanctioned by the
national board of the United Mine
Workers. The effect OF this criticism
is that not one OF the organizers has
anything to say.
1t is reported that the eight-hour day
is not working satisfactorily in the
Broadhead mine at Aguilar. The min
ers have interpreted it to mean that
the day for which they are paid shall
be eight hours from mine entrance to
mine entrance. The contention of the
operators is that the eight hours COM
mences at the time the men begin
work at the face of the coal seam until
they quit work. and from the time they
commence again In the afternoon ul.til
they quit at night. In some mines the
entrance is half mile from the actual
workings, and in such cases a man
cannot get in more than six and a half
hours out Of an eight-hour day.
At Primero. Tercio, Hastings, Della
qua, Majestic, Black Diamond. three
city mines. and practically all the
mines in Huerfano county, work Is
going on. The Victor Fuel Company,
the Continental Coal Company and
other operators are paying no atten.

miners daily and are increasing thedr

GOOD REPORT FROM
CHERRY TREE HOME

Denver, Dec. 5.-Secretary Hagar OF
the State Board Of Charities and Cor
rections has just finished an inspec-
ton Of the Cherry Tree Home, oper-
ated by the Salvation Army in connec.
ton with the Amity colony at Amity
Colorado. In his highly commendatory
report to the board Mr.. Hagar says:
The institution is a large, well-con-
structed, two-story stone building, ca
pable Of accommodating about seventy
Ave persons, and cost $4,000. The
first school room | visited contained
the kindergarten class, with about
eighteen or twenty little tots. ranging
In age from three to six years, and next
the main school room, containing the
remainder Of the fifty-one boys and
girls. from seven to twelve years Of
age. There is, however. one girl of
eighteen, another fifteen and boy
fifteen years old. Good order pre-
vailed, and I was informed that there
Is not sick child in the school.
THE ladies appeared to be inter
ested in their work, and the children
all presented a healthy. rugged appear
ance, and appeared to be happy and
contented lot. The dormitories were
in perfect condition, the beds were
clean and we'll kept the officers sleep
ing over them, both in the dormintory
near the children where they can watch
for boys and the one for girls. The
food is good, the kitchen is model
one, and clean in every sense Of the
word, and adjoining the same is large
and commodious dining room for all.
Liquor or tobacco in any form Is
not allowed on the premises, and for
that matter no liquor is allowed in the
town OF Amity, nor for six miles
around it.
ut must be remembered that these
little homeless waits are gathered in
from the slums of the large cities,
and out of the present population OF
fifty-one they represent eleven differ
ent states, as follows: New York.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Illinois, Oklahoma. Michigan,
Massachusetts,, Texas and eight from
Colorado. For their maintenance they
figure on about 500 per capita per an
mum. They have collected in Colorado
the past year $666.25. According to
these figures we are behind in our
per capita"
The officers and teachers are highly
commended.
Appended was a report made by
State Superintendent Helen Grenfell,
In which she declares the school a
model institution.

GOVERNOR TALKS
WITH MITCHELL

Denver. Dec. THE News this
morning says:
Hopes that the conference between
President Mitchell and Governor Pea
body might lead to an early termina-
ton of the Southern coal strike were
shattered yesterday afternoon. For
over three-Quarters of an hour the gov
ernor and the labor leader reviewed the
situation at the executive chambers.
but came to no understanding.
While the conference was barren OF a
result both Governor Peabody and
President Mitchell express themselves
as well pleased, each saying he has
better conception of the position of the
other. President Mitchell absolutely
refused to discuss the conference, other
than to say his talk with the governor
was OF a very pleasant nature. He left
on the AIS Burlington for Chicago to
attend a conference in the interests OF
the Illinois miners. AS for his return
Colorado, he is undecided.
Governor Peabody was not ayerse to
discussing the conference last night.
said:
"The conference was very pleasant,
although it wasn't productive and re-
suits. At its conclusion President Nit
Chell stated that so far as he can see
there is no immediate probability Of
settlement of the strike.
! Our conference began by Mr.. Nit
chell reciting the different aspects of
the situation, and the causes that led to
the strike. the eight-hour day, the min
ing of 2,400 pounds Of coal for a ton,
and the issuance of scrip. He stated
that he has furnished transportation to
il 300 or 400 strikers to other fields,
where he has secured them employ
iment; also that over 1000 strikers who
had money have paid their own trans
,portation, and have gone to work in
hother fields. The remainder are pro-
,vided with strike benefits as called for.
Single men are given IS per week,
while married men are given IS.
"Mr. Mitchell continued that he will
furnish the men with food, clothing and
shelter as long as the strike lasts, or
until they can be transported to other
fields.
I'm turn, told him that would pro-
tect the people with the same jealous
care as he had said he would look after
his men. l called his attention to the
geographical location of Colorado and
tho absolute necessity of having coal
and that would see to it that it is pro-
1duced If enough laboring men can be
found to mine it. l told him his men
might remain in idleness as long as he
cared to board and clothe them, provid
ed they obeyed the law and committed
no acts of violence.
AS soon, however. as they inter-
fere with men who care to work, that
moment will interfere with the troops
and grant protection to those who care
to work"

COOP ROADS AND RURAL MAILS,

Rural mail delivery and the good
roads movement go side by side. The
efficiency Of mail service depends upon
the condition of the roads, and this
condition has never been more appar-
ent than at the present time when
the popular demand for more extended
rural delivery is increasing every day
The mail service is government in
stitution and there Is a growing ten
dency 10 lock to the government for
assistance in the closely allied road
movement. Towns are plainly unable
90 bear the cost. and but few states
feel able to fully meet the situation.
But the government which has spent
forty-four million dollars for improving
rivers, harbors and canals, paying the
entire cost Of such works, might cas-
lily snare an equal amount TO help
transportation by land.
A plan was submitted to the last
congress by which the government and
the state each pays one-half. The state
could then levy a share of the expense
upon the counties and towns, bring the
actual cost down TO very low figure.
Such a measure would add to the at
tractiveness and value Of country prop
erty and the facilities of farm life
would be greatly increased and it is
project the representatives Of the
people at the national capitol should
support heartily. as they will when
made aware that the people are in ear
nest on the subject Of good roads built
by government assistance.
