EMPLOYERS ASSOCIATION MEETS
TO AIM TO PREVENT STRIKES
Contractors and Employers Organize to Protect
Their Interests Against the Excessive
Demand of Labor UuiOn

A uniform form of agreement to be
adopted and used in making joint
agreements wages being adjusted ac-
cording to local conditions.
All agreements to embody the fol-
lowing principles:
There shall be no restriction of the
use of machinery or tools.
There shall be no restriction of the
use of any manufactured material, ex-
cept prison made.
No person shall have the right to in
terfere with the workman during work.
ing hours.
The use of apprentices shall not be
prohibited.
The foreman shall be the agent of the
employer.
All workment are at liberty to work
for whomsoever they see fit.
All employers are at liberty to en-
ploy and discharge whomsoever they
see fit.
The last clause is a plain declaration
for the open shop. Union men have
always contested that a successful
movement to establish the open shop
meant the end of organized labor. For
this reason it is predicted that the new
association will have the antagonism
of the unions from the very outset.
Foreseeing the probable aim of the new
association the American Federation of
Labor. assembled in annual convention
in Boston last month, gave extended
attention to the open shop issue and
formulated a report strongly opposing
it. The action of the two organizations
one representing three-fourth OF the
organized workmen of America, and
the other representing the building
trades of the entire country, portend
conflict the extent and results of
which can be but family imagined.
The organization of the building
trades is the first great step in the
movement urged by President Parry of
the National Manufacturers associa-
ton to organize all employers of the
United States in a fight against the
alleged unjust demands of the labor
unions. The success of this first eff
fort, so far as the work of organization
is completed, is such as to crafty its
promoters. The extent to which 1T has
Caught on" is evidenced by the fact
that nearly fifty cities were represented
among the delegates present when the
conference opened this morning.
Among the cities are New York, Chi
cago, Pittsburg. San Francisco, St
Louis, Minneapolis, Topeka. Cedar
Rapids, Cincinnati, Newark, Reading,
East st. Louis Detroit, Indianapolis,
Cleveland and Erie.

QUICKSILVER
IN IDAHO
A Great Ledge Found in the
Roosevelt District Will
Supply the World

DIR. r. S. Law, one of the old time
mining engineers of this western coun-
try, the man who first exported the On
tario mine for Hearst and Haggin,
away back in 1873, is down from Boise
City, his home on a short business
trip, says the Salt Lake Herald. He
has not been in Utah much for a great
many years, but for all that he is be-
ing greeted by any number of old
timers who formerly knew him we'll,
and is enjoying his visit hugely His
reference to the Ontario and the Won
derful record it has made as pro-
Queer since he first saw it also called to
his mind the fact that several years
ago he was sent to Peru to make re-
port on the Cerro de Pasco mines for
George Hearst, who passed the prop
ostion up, little dreaming. perhaps,
that long after his death an old part
ner (Mr Haggim would tackle the
same layout.
DR.. Law is now engaged in gold min
ing in the new Marshall Lake district
and also in quicksilver mining fourteen
miles southwest of Roosevelt in the
Thunder Mountain region. A strong
company of western men has joined
the doctor in the latter enterprise, and
he says that just as early next spring
as possible furnaces are to be erected
and the reduction of the ore com
menced.
Il am sure" the doctor said. that
within four or five years my company
will control the quicksilver markets of
the world. In our property we have
300-foot ledge between quartzite walls
that will easily carry per cent Gin
nabar. We can mine the ore, extract
the quicksilver, place il in TASKS and
land it in San Francisco for about s
cents per pound when we get down to
business. The quantity we shall pro-
duce will be limited only by the demand
for 1t. and the present market price will
naturally have to be reduced / am
certain that there IS not another de-
post of the ore like that in our mine
anywhere else in the world"
DR.. Law also spoke enthusiastically
of the Marshall Lake gold district. The
lodges, he declares, are both large and
rich, and he predicts that within a

WALL STREET
AND The WEST
Changes that Have Been Rung
in Ten Years
Time

William Allen White in Golfers
Weekly says that fifteen years ago in
the west IA land boom swept men off
their feet. 1t was a borrowers boom.
Men seemed To grow rich who had
earned nothing and savec nothing. but
who had borrow much Men did not
borrow of their neighbors. for their
had nothing to lend: the
lender was in the east. The goose kept
laying the golden egg in the sunrise.
The company of eastern capital
lists sent out a young man who knew
about as much about real values of
western land, as a pig knows of
and the young gentleman dis
tributed the funds of the eastern cap
italists' over the territory adjacent to
his big gold sign. with almost judicial
to the first 500 people who
came into the office. Millions of east
ern money was sown thus i'm the Miss

issippi valley. 1t fell on stony ground.
And then the boom collapsed, and for
two years, while the notices of sheriff
sales were running in the enterprising
newspapers in the little towns afore-
said, the relations between the, east
and west were intimate enough, though
rather unhappy. There followed a
time when those who had been partici-
pating in the borrowers boom were
trying to find out why they were not
rich on other peoples money. They
got the wrong idea about it; thought
that the eastern capitalists who were
trying to collect their dues, were really
trying to wiring hard earned profits
from an honest yeomanry, and things
were said on both sides which should
be forgotten; because a man is no bet
ter for recalling that he is a fool and
no happier for recolecting that he was
called a knave.
And then came a season of exhaus-
ton. 1t occurred shortly after the
statute limitation had run on certain
debts. For apparent reasons, the west
ceased thinking of Wall street, and
Wall street forgot the west. And in
1897 each section of the country be-
came concerned in it's own prosperity.
The east discovered the fountain of fin
ancial youth at which it could. and
did, water it's languished stocks and the
west discovered alfalfa and kaffir corn
on the fodder crops, and some import
ant mines of gold and silver and iron
and coal With the discovery of the
upland fodder crops the possibility of
crop failure was eliminated, and the
prairie people grew rich-after their
standards. And with the opening of
the mines the mountain jewellers waxed
fat The whole west began to put
money in the banks. Western banks
grew. The deposits per capita rose
to an extravagant figure.
The banking problem in the west
now is not to get the money in but to
get it out. Western banks are con-
stantly reducing the rate of interest
paid on time deposits. A wise and re-
liable borrower is more welcome at
any western bank window today than
a heavy deposition. In the country town
where this is written, an average prai-
RE town of less than 10000, the banks
hold nearly 40 per cent of their de-
posts in cash or it's equivalent. They
do this not from choice but from ne
cessity.
The west has no particular animos-
ity toward Wall street now. Too many
weserners have gone out to lunch
with the crowd on lower Broadway in
the last five years for any ugly feeling
to linger in the western heart But
so long as the gentlemen who have
paid the score for these lunches are
not in absolute want the west will feel
toward Wall street a feeling of sweet
and unruffled indifference.

he stands for Idaho all around. The
merits of the Thunder Mountain dis

mated. Ore is everywhere, and it will
not be long till the company receives
substantial verfication of what he
says. Mining is booming all through

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 10.-Prelimln-
airy steps were taken in Chicago today
to organize a national federation OF To-
cal employers associations III the
building lines. In the opinion OF those
well informed as to the purposes ana
scope of the movement its Importance
can scarcely be'overestimated. In PLAIN
words it aims to curb the excessive ex-
actions of, the labor unions, from when
the building trades have suffered OF
late perhaps more than any other line
Other objects, such as the standardlza-
ton of material and the suppression OF
unfair competition, will be kept in view
by the new organization. but all OF
these will be of secondary Importance
in comparison with the main purpose
of advancing and protecting the inter-
ests of the contractors in their rela-
lions to the labor unions.
The idea of the National Association
of EMPLOYERS, under which name the
federation is to be known, had its IN
ception in the formation of the Build
ing Trades Employers association in
New York last spring. Nothing OF the
kind on so large a scale had ever been
achieved in any city in this country,
and all cities which had been disturbed
by labor conflicts watched the outcome.
Soon similar associations were formed
in other cities and the idea OF ma
tional federation was the result Rep
resented in the federation are the fol-
lowing trades: Architectural iron, ele-
vator building. plastering, house drain
age, mantel and tile work, masons and
builders, plumbers, steamfitters, car
penters, stone cutters, marble manufac-
turers, painters, decorators. mosaic
work, and electrical work.
The object of the organization, as set
forth in the call for today's conference,
are as follows:
To advance and protect the interests
of the contractors.
To secure equitable treatment in
their dealings with their employees.
To encourage organization and the
formation of associations of contract
ors.
To regulate conditions among build
ing contractors.
To maintain peace and harmony be-
tween the employer and employee
The basis of settlement of all dis
putes should be Cancellation and arbi-
tration.
The sympathetic strike should be alb
solutely prohibited.
Where conditions are proper and en-
ployes' associations exist, agreements
TO be made with them.

DEAD MAN MAKES TROUBLE.
Presence in Spirit Form Obnoxious to
His Successor.

A colored family in Almagro has
recently been broken up because of
the nightly appearance OF the wife's
former husband. says the Danville
(Va) correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch. The fact that the man IN
question has been dead a year or
two does not seem to affect in the
least his desire to look upon the hap
piness of his former helpmeet. He
invades the privacy of the woman's
chamber much to the annoyance OF
her present husband. He made one of
his frequent visits the other night. He
was dressed entirely in white, and
came and stood at the foot of the
bed.
The living husband decided that the
dead man had the best right to the
woman's presence. and he dived
through the window. carrying the
sash with him. The woman. who
seems to have preferred the living to
the dead followed his example. The
pair spent the night, thinly clad. un-
der the stars.
And now there will be a divorce
suit. the man refusing longer to live
with woman whose dead husband
visits her in the night.
