the recent exorbitant tax imposed on IL
quor dealers by the State the license tax
in Alexandria should continue as here
tofore at SIS. He said also that IN con-
sequence OF the State law forbidding
slot machines. the city would have to
lose several hundred dollars heretofore

dealers who would go out of business,

up for this by new subjects for license.

The failure of the public to come into
the market has been one of the greatest
disappointments to the bull manipulation
who has endeavored to put prices up.
9a;5 reason for this public Indifference
Is offered by the head of a leading stock
exchange house, who says: 'Our New
York market is suffering from the col
lapse in local promotions in other cities,
and for that reason when prices go low
er we do not get buyers. There are very
few stocks for sale, as liquidation has
been thorough. but the necessities of

Meeting Was Not Prolific
of Results.

During the past week R. c. Bonney has
exerted every possible effort to bring about
a meeting between Mr.. Hanehett, acting
manager of the Sun and Moon mine, g. {.
Sowden and c. S. Britton, of Cleveland O.,
directors in the latter mine and President
Meyer, of the Western Federation of Min
ers. On Tuesday he succeeded and the
meeting was held Mr. Hanchett on be-
half of the Sun and Moon, offered what
really amounts to 40 per cent raise III
wages. He did not object to eight hours
per day nor the $2.75 per day minimum in
workings below 500 feet-or practically
this in substance. Mr. Meyer submitted
two or three counter propositions and we
understand that a majority of them were
accepted by the Sun and Moon. 1t looked
for time as if there was some reason for
the expression of the belief that the cor.
tending elements would be brought to-
gether. A meeting was arranged for the
following day and while Mr. Mover was
late in keeping his appointment with Mr..
Hanchett, the meeting was held but differ
ences still existed The Citizens Protec-
tive League appointed its executive COM
mittee who also met with President Mover.
1t was explained to the union that the
league had no desire to discriminate against
organized labor, that it was ready at anv
time to deal fairly with all classes and that
its purpose was simply to protect the bus
mess interests. 1t also laid down in its
plan in the matter of the alleged intimida-
tion of certain workmen by the union and
stated that it would not permit action of
this character.
Both Mr.. Hanchett and the Citizens
League are awaiting another visit from
President Meyer. 1t is claimed that the
Sun and Moon directors practically issued
an ultimatum to the effect that if the mat
ter was not settled soon on a basis closely
following the proposition made to the union
by Mr.. Hanchett that work would be re-
sumed on the old scale

Woodmen to Entertain
the District.

If plans mature favorably, as outlined by
the local Woodmen camp at its meeting on
Tuesday evening, Idaho Springs will have
the honor of entertaining all the Woodmen
of Black Hawk, Central City, Georgetown
and Golden some time in July. The plan
as outlined is to have the various camps
enter a membership contest and the initia-
ton will occur at Idaho Springs. The
matter of deciding the winning team will
be on percentages SO that the smaller camps
will have the same show the larger ones
have. This will give every one chance.
F. A. Moss is sending out letters this week
to the various camps included in the propo-
sition asking them to send committee to
meet with the Idaho Springs lodge on the
evening of May 18. At this meeting every
arrangement will be attended to carefully.
The time fixed for the closing of the con-
test will probably be in July or very close
to the first of August The head camp
prizes will amount to considerable and will
be worth the effort that will be made to OBJ
tain them. A committee consisting of F.
A. Moss, John Edwards and A. Seidler
were appointed to meet the committees
from other lodges. If the class is initiated
into membership here it will probably be a
feature of interest to bring one OF the crack
drill teams up from Denver to exemPllty
