FUND TO Be TAKEN
Up TO AID CAUSE
PROBABLE THAT COLORADO SOUTH
ERN STRIKERS WILL BE AS
SISTED BY THE A. l.. u.

All the labor organizations affiliated
with the American Labor union will prob
ably be called on 10 contribute to a fund
for the benefit OF the blacksmiths who are
out OH the Colorado Southern railway.
An appeal has been made for aid, and j;
is thought that large sum OF money will
be raised to assist them in their fight.
As yet 10 definite movement has been
made to secure the money for the fund,
but il is probable that an assessment will
be made in the near future OH all labor
organizations connected with the A. l..
L. unless by some chance the strike is
settled before the fund can attain any
considerable proportions.
The blacksmiths were angry because
the company insisted on employing non.
union men, and when the company re-
fused to comply with their demand that
the non-union mechanics be discharged
strike was declared.
All the railway blacksmiths at Denves
were ordered out and the strike rapid,
spread all over the entire system. Thu
machinists and boilermakers struck in
sympathy.

SIXTY MILLION.
Railroad Assessment Same as
Before

The total railroad assessment Of Kan
sas this year will be approximately 60
million dollars, about the same as here
tofore. There have been some decreases
in places, but corresponding increases in
other places, 50 that the aggregate will
probably be about the same as hereto
fore.
The state board of railroad assessors
has completed its nart of the work and
now the clerical force in the state audi
tors office is working night and day
nguTIng out the assessment by town

to the county clerks by May 20. The
clerks in the auditors Office have TO

The county surveyor of Reno county
Wednesday reported to State Auditor
Wells that he had been making SURVEYS
OF the lines in that county and that the

three miles short. He also said there

year we win take it up. The law re-
cures all these reports to be in March
20, and then gives my office till May 20
to get the reports of the assessments
out to the county clerks This would
not be near enough time if some of the
railroads did not report early. thereby
giving us time to get considera bic work
done before March 20 think 1t would
be a good plan if every county should
survey the lines of railroad in its boun-
daries and see that the mileage Is
properly reported It would certainly
be more business like
The chief raise made by the board is
on the Missouri river bridge at Ieaven-

from SAP 600 to 100000, and the approach
from $4,000 to $4,000. The Leavenworth
Commercial club showed that the bridge
originally cost $500 600 and is paving (

that its earnings are $50 600 annually.
