rHE BOOK AGENTS, UNION.

The very latest thing In the organi-
cation OF labor. according to Harper's
Weekly, Is the Book Agents union.
The e~nterprising agent in whose fer.
tile brain the idea originated has
sold books for twelve years and In
that time has walked about five
thousand miles. He has moreover
been subjected to all sorts OF rebuffs
and insults during this extensive per
~ambulation, He believes that book
agents should not be compelled to sub
init to these continued humiliations
and that by effecting a powerful organ
ization they Will be able to take a bold
stand against their enemies. Their
enemies OK course consist OF those who
do not want to buy books.
The union was founded at Syracuse.
New York and already has q goodly
number Of members. Some of the
first principles Of the organization are
interesting:
ANY agent who has been subjected
to an insult by d business or profess.
sional man must forthwith report the
same to the secretary. whcrenpon a
special meeting OF the union will be
called and a committee be appointed
to walt upon the offending person.
In the event Of an apology not being
offered, the person insulting the book
agent Is to be placed under a boycott,
notice Of the same being made public
on the telegraph and telephone poles,
and on the bill boards Of the town
wherein the offending person resides.
Business men in whose Offices are dis.
played signs reading, Book agents
not allowed here are warned to re
move such signs, under penalty Of be,
Ing %boycotted, Any member Of the
union who purchases supplies OF any
kind from q business man who has
been b~oycotted. Is to be fined five dol
lars, and union book agents are also
to be fined II they patronlze merchants
who sell to a boycotted person. Nc
member Of the union Is allowed Il
handle any book which sells for Less
than two dollars and a half.
As the union cannot penalize the
guilty ones, successfully. by simply re
fusing to sell them books. 1t Is re-
duced to boycott and blackmail fol
Its weapons, all Of which may serve
to render book agents more unpopular
than they are now. II that is possible
Finally the founder OF the union ex
poets to give up the business which
he has followed for SO long, and be
come the walking delegate.

There are two prisoners at Pueblo
and one at La Junta. At Pueblo are
John Duffy and l. Stuart. Stuart was
fined IS this morning on the strength
OF being drunk, but the charge OF
yagrancy against him was continued
In order to give the detectives more
time to work up the case.
The work Of clearing the wreckage
Is progressing rapidly and by Wed
nesday all the debris will be remov.
ed. For the present trains of the
Santa Fe are being run over the p,
& r, g. and Colorado and Southern
tracks south to Trinidad. and then
north to Ia Junta, where they reach
the main line.
Mr. Nudge said he figured the ca
tire damage resulting from the wreck
would amount to about $4,000. While
in the city Mr.. Nudge called on Gen
eral Manager Herbert, Of the Colorado
4 Southern to discuss the use Of the
Colorado 4 S~outhern's tracks to Trini

Steps Toward . Useful Organization.

Last Friday evening large company
of young people filled the spacious parlors
Of the Presbyterian manse. in response to
the invitation extended through Mrs.
NANNY. president Of the W. c. T. u. A
number Of musical numbers were given by
Mrs. Gelon Randall, Miss Coleman and
Miss Ruth Davenport, followed by reei-
tation by Miss Frye; after which refresh-
ments were served.
Mrs. Nanny and Rev. Davenport then
spoke of the necessity Of some organiza-
ton among our young people. having for
its object the ineuleation Of temperance
principles and to make some provision for
the social needs Of large class OF young
men and boys.
Mrs. Nanny said. in part; The desire
to congregate seems to be one OF the at
tributes Of boy nature. For this reason II
seems to me very important that place
be provided in every town where boys
and young men can come together eve
nings. talk. sing or play games. Rocky
Ford has hitherto lacked any such ac-
comodation and our boys have felt the
need. Some Of the boys have paid good
round sum to join some club taking up
some special sport, but this does not meet
the requirements and is beyond the reach
of many. In other towns the Young
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
has taken up this work and carried it to a
successful issue. In Grand Junction they
have not only recreation room. but a
reading room as well. While the Y. W.
c. T. U. is young woman's organization
Young men are received as honorary
members and assist in al the active
work of the organization, except that the
general officers must be young ladies.
The requirements Of this society are the
signing of the pledge and the payment OF
dues, SO cents year. The dues requir-
ed Of honorary members are ST per year,
as all dues from such members are re-
tanned for local work.
1t is expected that meeting will be
called soon for the perfecting of such an
organization, and all those who believe
this work is needed are urged to attend
this NEE ting and lend hand.
