ADVISORY BOARD
TAKES A REPORT

Denver. April 1.-THE report of the
advisory strike commission appointed
by the governor to bring together the
United States Reduction and Refining
Company and Its striking employees.
members of the Western Federation of
Miners. was handed TO the executive
Thursday by Charles d. Hayt. chair
man of the commission. A transcript
of all the testimony was also given to
Governor Peabody.
The report of the commission briefly
summarizes the movements of the COM
mission from the time 1t organized,
March 3lst. 1t shows that more than
sixty witnesses were heard. Credit Is
given the officers of the Federation,
the officers of the reduction company,
and the committee OF citizens of the
Cripple Creek district for their Efforts
in behalf of settlement that meant
the prevention of general strike in
the great mining camp.
In the two concluding paragraphs
the board gives Its ideas of the lessons
taught by the settlement OF tine strike
by arbitration. 1t says:
".rhe matters In dispute having been
adjustsxl by the parties themselves. as
stated. IL Is tne OplnlOh VI ihe poaiu
that any further report as to the
causes leading up to the strike and
what was done thereafter in further
ance of the same would be work of
supererogation. The appointment OF
peace commission by the executive to
bring the principals in labor strike
together upon terms of settlement.
while an innovation in this state, Is
movement in line with the most en-
lightened thought of the day and we
think the results in this case JUSTIFY
similar action on the part of the ex-
ecutive should labor disputes arise.
I'm the opinion of the board, labor
organizations are an evolution of the
time. The rights of wage earners and
the privilege of organized labor, to-
gcther with the rights of capital,
should be fairly considered and hon
estly and intelligently met. Whenever
a clash is threatened. prompt action
should be taken to harmonic differ
ences. Delays serve to embitter the
contestants and kindle animosities and
to lessen the chances for friendly aG-
iustment of controversies between cap
ital and labor"

SENATOR PATTERSON ATTACKS
GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL

iaiion to the state veterinary. Tho
signed bill provides for a salary of $500
for each OF the coming two years.
while the conference committee agreed
only to pay him single sum OF $500
for shortage OF salary.
Proyision IL made In the signed bill
for $500 FOR expenses OF coal mine in-
spection examiners. but the conference
memorandum did not contain any such
item.
The sum of 5000 year Is provided In
the signed bill for the trayeiin. cx-
pcnses OF the game commissioner.
while the Senate memorandum shows
that the amount agreed to was $500 .
year.
An appropriation OF $3.50 year or
$500 In all Is provided In the signed
bill for the State Fair at Pueblo. This
was stricken out of the bill in the con-
ference for the reason that II was ap-
propriatcd In n separate bill duly
passed and signed by the governor. As
for the fair has been appropriated
twice. once in n separate bill and again
by insertion In this illegal hill.
As TO the Grand county fish hatchery.
an appropriation was made by spc-
cinl bill for establishing the hatchery.
which has been vetoed by the gov
ernor. The Illegal appropriation bill
carries an appropriation Of 5000 year
for the maintenance OF this hatchery.
but now that the other bill was vetoed
this money will remain In the treasury.
Tho suit to test the validity of tho
bill will be brought by the Ncws-Timcs
company without delay. and II will bc
pressed to n hearing as fast as the
courts will permit.

PHILOSOPHY OF COMBINATION
SHOWN BY CARROLL D. WRIGHT

corporation and the personal relation
that previously existed was weakened
or severed.
Now he is grouped as the fellow
employe OF thousands and thousands
under the great combination. where
he is still farther removed in per-
sonal way from his employer.
Does this mean harm or does II
mean good? The answer to this ques-
tion depends entirely upon the atti-
lude OF the two parties In the new re-
lation.
Capital may receive now and then
an exorbitant increase In the way OF
profits or OF interest and wages may
be raised or depressed artiheiaily. but
under all normal conditions the prohts
to capital and the remuneration TO Ia
Dor will be regulated by positive eco"
nomic laws; but these laws are more
elastic than natural laws. and hence
disturbances. misunderstanding and
bitterness arise. On the whole. how
ever. the remuneration to capital Is
constantly decreasing and that to Ia
bor constantly increasing.
The workingman has risen from
ignorance to intelligence. and as he
has reached Intelligence he has be-
come more or less greater complica-
ton In Industrial affairs. In his isno-
rance he did not strike: In his inteiii-
rence he does strike. The next step
in the development of his intelligence
will be that he Will not strike: that no
will be able to accommodate himself
to conditions. because he will know
them and understand them better. He
will be able to recognize his rights
In relation To the rights OF others and
to know fully what Is necessary Tor
successful production. where now he
understands only a part. This means.
OF course. the organization. tn. con-
tinuance. the perfection OF labor un'

Railways Of the World.

FROM the Brandon (Manitoba) Sun.
According to a German statistician the
railway mileage Of the world Is now 500 100
miles. of which 16,947 miles were added in
1901. showing greater increase than for
some years past. The average yearly ia
crease may be put at 1900 miles,
The most notable fact Of recent years has
been the amount Of railroad construction In
Asia and Africa. The mileage opened as
yet on those continents is :rifiing In com.
parison to their area and population, but It
Is beginning, and especially in Asia
seems likely to be continued at an increased
rate. Asia at the end of 1895 had but p, 900
miles of railroad. so that in six years it has
had an increase of so per cent
British India had 1913 miles at the end
of 1901: Russia in Asia. including the Chi
nese Eastern, only 1923. OF European
countries, the German empire leads in mile
age. with 32753 miles; but it is followed
closely by Russia, with 81 ,945; and the lat
ter will doubtless soon take the lead. for
it has 3,65S inhabitants and 6.s square miles
OF area per mile of railroad: while the Ger
man empire has but Ga square miles of
area and LIP inhabitants per railroad mile

INTEREST IN THE BIG YACHTS.
Large Crowd Attracted to the Erie
Basin Today.

NEW YORK. August 17.-Reliance and
Shamrock III today attracted a large crowd
to the Erie basin, where they are in dry
dock. Both rudder and bow on the Reli-
ance had to be fixed, the former having
been strained out Of alignment. and the
latter slightly denied in the last race OF
Newport. A few moments work remedied
both injuries. In the meantime her bronze
underbody was given thorough polishing.
while in the adjoining dock the crew of the
challenger gave that vessels hull it's last
coating Of white enamel. The great MAIN
sail Of Shamrock III was also bent during
the morning. under the supervision of Cap
tain Wringe.
Tomorrow the water will be let into the
two docks and both vessels fioated to per-
nit Charles d. Mower the official meas
urer of the New York Yacht Club, to put
his tape around the two boats in order to

HUGE OUTLAY FOR TIES.
Annual Railroad Expenditure, Which
Public Hardly Notices.

from tne heuway age.
The railroads of the country are using
ties to replace those worn out by use at
the rate Of 11O.OOO,OOO q year. This esti-
mate, which may be taken as fairly au-
thorftative, suggests some interesting con-
clusions. 1t does not, of course. include
those laid for new mileage At the prevail
ing average rate per tie go cents) the cost
aggregates 100000 annually.
To secure ties even at the present mar
ket price, railroads often transport such
supplies 100 miles. It appears, therefore,
that the use Of the class of timber now be-
Ing purchased cannot long continue. AS a
consequence. the government has taken up
the question of experimenting upon avail
able wood by treating each specimen with
preservatives in order to add years to tho
average period of usefulness. The rail-
roads in France have been so successful
in this direction that beech ties are made
to last thirty-ffve years. Many of those in
use in this country, even of supposed stand
ard qualities, must be relaid In from be-
tween three to five years. The American
Telegraph and Telephone Company used
10000 telephone poles and 100000 feet of
timber in cross arms last year, therefore
1t can be readily understood that the sub
ject of seasoning and preserving wood Is
not confined to railroad companies alone.
The matter was brought to the attention
of railroad officer familiar with the SUBJ
ject this week, and in going over the cross
tie problem he said
Experiments nowJbeing made will doubt
less end in the use of cheaper timber, as
the cost of treating several grades of pine,
for instance. Is comparatively small. The
best results obtained so far from natural
timber has been from oak but present
prices prohibit the use of such wood for
ties. Cedar brings good result II tie
plates are used! These are necessary, how
ever, as the wood Is soft. Those people
who ask and keep on asking for a larger
dividend rate have no idea what 1t costs
to run a railroad At the average rate per
tie the cost of replacing such material an
nually Is $55. 100000. Mention ties to an
ordinary investor and he will say. What
do ties amount to" Ahead of ties as an
actual operating expense comes labor coal,
iron. lumber and rails. Our troubles are
roany" 'Gfft-'s-L
