NEWS FROM MINING CAMPS
AS THE SEASON PROGRESSES
EVERY SECTION IMPROVES.
Items Of Interest Gathered During the
Past Week-B. c. Mines Busy
Occur d'AIene District Making a
Wonderful Neutrality-suspicious. and
Personals-Mergers All the Go.

Strikes and lockouts at the gold
mines in Cripple Creek and other gold
inning districts in Colorado have al
ready reduced the mineral production
of the state this year at least so, $780,
900, and if the present conditions OBJ
tain until the end of the year the pro-
duction will fall more than 100000
below what it would have been under
normal conditions. In consequence of
the strike, 1000 soldiers of the Colo
RADIO national guard have been doing
police duty in cripple Creek for four
weeks, and as yet neither the mine
owners nor the strikers show any evil
dence of weakening. The cost to the
state of maintaining the military force
in the field is estimated at $4,000 a
month.
The unsettled conditions in the min
ing industry are due to the failure of
the legislature to enact an eight hour
day applying to mines, mills and
smelters after the voters of the state
had adopted a constitutional amend.
| ment authorizing such an enactment
An eight hour day had been generally
granted at the mines, and the Western
Federation of Miners determined to en-
shelters. Strikes were inauguratet
last June at the smelters in this city
and the mills in Colorado City, anG
eight weeks ago 1000 miners in the
Cripple Creek district were ordered b.
the executive officers of the federation
to go on strike in support of the de
mand for an eight-hour day for mil
and smelter employees, which had beer
refused by the American Smelling 6
Refining company and the Unite,
States Reduction & Refining company
The miners obeyed the order reluctant
ly, as they had no grievance as tt
their own hours of labor or wages, ant
with few exceptions they have con
tinued on strike since.
The Mineowners' association has ar
nounced that no further employment
will be given to any member of tn
Western Federation of Miners. TIL

HOPEFUL FOR HIS EXCISE BILL.
Jerome Expects Decisive Action Socn-Plan
to Reveal Opposition.

District Attorney Jerome said yesterday that the
attitude of the legislature the Sunday saloon
opening bill which is now in committee, will soon
be known He thinks that the prospect of decisive
legislative action being taken the bill at this
session the legislature is excellent. He expects
bring of members OF the legisla ture
on the question by having the member who intro
there signs that the bill is likely to be held up
in committee, that the committee be discharged
from further consideration of it The voting
the motion, he thinks. will show who in
favor OF the bill, and who opposed to
it. Those who vote to let the bill remain in COM
mittee will be considered opposed to the measure
To those who vote against the motion. said the
District Attorney, we will try TO show that the
majority Of people desire have the saloons
legally open IN certain hours Sunday. Abb
sentees will be counted opponents of the bill
He asked if he had anything to say about
the Governors opposition to the bill.
Il Think he replied, that / have read nearly
all of the Albany dispatches regarding the meas
ure. Those that I have read do not show that the
Governor is opposed TO the bill. and 1 have no
knowledge that he is. 1 think he has not made
any public utterances the subject. The attitude
of the Governor this important question is. in
my opinion like mine. I opposed to Sunday
opening of saloons But regarding the matter the
public holds different views and | have therefore
sidetra cked my views the subject. / feel certain
that the bill will not be killed in committee"

be their duty to stand by the rights of children not
to work except for the work of play. He added:
teenth century and read the accounts of children
suferings due the cruelty OF slave drivers your
hearts are apt TO cry out in anguish. Just mink

States. children five and six years Old WORKING

the hardest and most trying kind of LABOR IheSe
children are being ruined by thousands by the
manufacturers. 1t is killing the whole white race
of the South. -,
1t may be surprising, but is the absolute truth
that things just bad going on right here IN
New-York City. Child slavery thriVes here in
great proportions, if equally than IN the
South There are parts of this city where Httle
children are driven to work early in the mo'ninS
schools. and after school are forced into sweat
shops. where they obliged to work from IN
the afternoon until II o'clock at night. What we
ought and what have got TO do is to stanG for
work that children created for-the work OF
healthy play.
