SOCIAL. SCIENCE
LABOR DISCUSSION

Boston. May 16.-The general meet
ings of 1903 OF the American Social
Science Association began here Thurs
day. George H. Anderson spoke on
Some Responsibilities of Capitalistic
Organization" He said. in part:
In considering some OF the respon-
sibilities of capitallstic organization it
is not to be overlooked that the career
of the labor organizations has not been
marked by any such love of wisdom.
Justice and fair dealing as to evoke our
moral enthusiasm. Nor have the la
Dor organizations any moral standing
to denounce trusts. for their movement
is as distinctly combination or trust
as is the capitalistic movement The
two movements are alike in motive and
object.
The organization of labor is an alb
solute condition precedent under pres
ent conditions to any sound social and
industrial progress. To oppose that or
ganization, to attempt to prevent 1t by
constitution, or to denounce 1t in the
terms recently used at the Manufactur-
ers' Association at New Orleans is both
futile and foolish.
In the last generation. he declared.
the legislation of the country had been
mainly controlled by capital. and in
not few of the states the sale Of leg
islation was regular business. In con-
clusion Mr. Anderson said:
1T is one of the present RESPONSE
bilities of capitalistic organiza-
ton to undo the evil 1t has
wrought - to teach the voters
that the powers of the ballot box and
of the legislative hall are to be held
and exercised as sacred trust for the
benefit of the community as a whole
If capital fails to recognize the neces-
sity OF just laws, respected and obeyed.
it may expect little mercy at the hands
of its adversaries when they discover
their real power. If Socialism comes.
the main responsibility will rest upon
the capitalistic organizations.

ITO the Public-To effect speedy
settlement of the pending strike. the
executive committee OF the Citizens
Alliance of Denver proposed to the ex-
ecutive committee of the labor unions.
that a committee Of eleven men, Ave of
whom should be chosen by the Alliance
and five by the labor unions, the elev-
enth member to be selected by these
ten. should be created as an arbitra-
ton committee. to which all griev-
ances should be submitted for adjust
ment
Not only was this proposition re-
jected. but the executive committee or
organized labor. by its chairman and
secretary. has declined. in an official
communication. to hold any further in
tercourse with. or further TO recognize
the Citizens Alliance in any manner.
In refusing to treat with employers
when associated together as an or
ganized alliance or union. organized la
Dor turns its back upon its cardinal
principle.
Organized labor will not recognize
or treat with the organized representa-
tives of employers.
IF the contest between organized
business men and organized laboring
men is to degenerate into one OF mere
physical endurance. the consequences
should and will fall upon the heads of
those rash leaders who have melted
their misguided followers to reject ar
bitration between organized bodies.
This statement is made because II is
important that the public should know
the reason why this strike is not now
being adjusted by n committee of arbi-
traitors. Respectfully.
y. C. CRAIG.

Denver papers assert tina: wholesale
removals Of county assessors may re-
suit from the annual controversy be-
tween the State Board of Equalization
and the county assessors. The State
Board of Equalization fixes the value OF
each of the railway. express. telegraph
and telephone lines in the state, and ap-
portions the value among the counties
along which the line is operated. The
county assessors claim that the State
Board fixes n much lower value on the
railway lines and property than is pro-
portionate to the valuations they put
on local property. real estate and per
sonalty. The assessors. many OF them
have therefore openly threatened, II
the Board of Equalization does not in
crease the valuation OF the railways
over that Of 1902. that they will reduce
the valuations on the property they as
sess TO what they consider a proper
tionate figure. The governor has the
power to remove IN assessor who un-
deryalues property.

LABOR COMMITTEE
MAKES STATEMENT

Denver. May 1e.-The labor execn-
tive committee yesterday issued an
exhaustive statement of its position,
reviewing what It terms the causes
which have led up to the present crisis
and concluding with the declaration
that the crisis is war. and that this
war viii be continued until men and
women in this city are assured they
may hold employment and affiliate
with labor unions"
The statement begins by declaring
that the present unfortunate situation
is not due to labor organizations, and
that there has been much mlsrepre-
sentation of the situation on the part
of the Citizens Alliance. 1t is stated
that the effort of the American Smelt-
ing and Refining Company to prevent
the adoption of an eight-hour day
among its employees is at the back of
the whole matter
Alarmed at the strength of organ
lied labor. as shown in the Colorado
City millmen's strike. the smelter trust
took steps to weaken unionism in
Denver by the organization OF all bus
mess interests against labor unions,
the statement asserts. Herb" George,
who is said to supply the smelter trust
with its fluxing material, was selected
to start the movement. The situation
at the time between employers and la
Dor unions was most harmonious. and
all trades were completing satisfac-
tory arrangements for the ensuing
year.
Organized labor did not suspect, the
committee says, that the enemy was
working under cover. The organiza-
tion of the alliance was followed by
the discharge of all transfer company
employees who Joined the newly-formed
transfer mems union. This, the com
mittee declares, is a violation OF the
rights of citizenship. and the charge is
made that the transfer trust, as the
combination is called is guilty of in
consistency In forming combination
which forced Denver merchants to pay
increased prices for service.
The contets OF the unions against
the transfer trust, the statement says.
was then commenced. The trust ap-
pealed to the Citizens Alliance. Mer-
chants who were dissatisfied because
of o'clock closing. and for other rea-
sons, were led into the alliance move
ment, and the banks forced others to
join by refusing them credit unless
they did so. Unfair acts on the part
of merchants are quoted, and all are
laid at the door of the alliance. 1t is
declared that the labor organizations
have been ready for arbitration at all
times, but that the alliance has made
its slogan the declaration that unions
must CO. and this labor will fight to
the bitter end. Organized labor re-
grets the emergency to which these
events have driven innocent citizen
ship" the statement concludes, but
organized labor realizes at the same
time that should it accept the dictum
of the smelter trust and the transfer
trust and the Citizens Alliance with
out protest, 1t would be an intolerable
debasement of our manhood, our wo-
manhood, our children and our
homes"

New York Builders to Organize.

New York. May 16-The first steps
toward effecting general organiza-
tion of employers in the building
trades for the purpose of offering
united resistance to the demands of
the labor unions were taken last night
at meetings held in Manhattan and
Brooklyn. At the meeting in Man
haitian 700 employers were present
and the throng was so great that over
now meetings were held.
In Brooklyn 100 employers met and
formed the Employers League of the
Borough OF Brooklyn. 1t was resolved
to permit no Interference with bust
ness by any individuals or organiza-
tions. and that no walking delegates

above.
Steps to recover for the state the
land in Pueblo's residence section. now
held by the Hard Land Company, will
soon be taken. The State Land Board
has instructed Appraiser Smith to at
once proceed with the case. Attorney
General Miller informed the members
of the board that he considered the
claim of the state as excellent as far
as the first report of the appraiser
goes Then the board decided that the
case should be taken up Immediately.
and authorized the expenditure of the
money that VIII be required.
Detailed maps of every coal mine In
Colorado in which the state has an in
terest will soon be on file in the Office
OF the land board. The task OF max
ing the surveys is now in progress un-
der the direction of Agent Cowdry
appointed under the law passed by the
last Legislature. which provides for
more careful accounting of all mineral
lands. Under the new law the state
itself, through the agent In charge Of
the mineral lands. makes the surveys.
In this manner there is no opportunity
for the state to receive less than its
share of the money realized from the
output of the mines.

says that the majority Of the wayward

of the bureau attribute their getting
Into mischief to their visits to this
class OF resorts. The associations
which the young find at these halls
are of the worst possible sort, says
MIR, Whitehead. for many men go there
with the express purpose OF getting
acquainted with young girls and pur-
suing that acquaintance as far as they
may. The girls tell the officials Of the

have been filed with the auditor since
the announcement that $4,000 is

is claimed by those who have already

therefore. be disappointed. Some OF
the banks hold large numbers OF re
cent claims. AS the payments will be
made In order OF seniority, these will
not be reached until more money Is

This means that stockmen will have

the state the land granted for the
schools and for public improvements
has been for many years used by
stockmen without Interference and
without rental. This will be stopped
as far as possible and the amounts ia
which the state is Justly entitled will
