Concerning the incorporation Of
trade unions Mr. Mitchell submitted
an opinion by clarence S. Darrow Of
Chicago, attorney for the miners be-
fore the strike commission, in which
the following sentences occur:
The demand for the Incorporation
of trades unions is the last trench of
those who oppose organized labor. 1t
is impudent and presumptuous. No
friend Of trade unionism ever believed
in it or advocated it. or called for it.
1t is demanded to-day by those inter
ests and those enemies who have used
every means at their command to OPP
pose trade uniOnism, to cOunteract its
influence and to destroy ii.
"How the labor organizations shall
manage their own affairs is not the
business of the corporations or the EN-

unjus and unreasonable but it is i'm
pudent and insulting to the last de-

lowing that profession entered into a
partnership with Edward Cooper, son
of Peter Cooper, in the iron and hard
ware business. At their works in New

policy of the firm toward the work

LAYING THE CORNERSTONES OF
CHURCH AND UNIVERSITY

The governors remarks were in part
as follows:
This university, and this library
building. will serve as time markers Of
progress. They record the educational
advancement OF Colorado. Other state
Institutions will be stirred to greater
achievements and greater usefulness.
Competition is the incentive to pro-
gress. Without it we would to-day be
doing business in the same clumsy,
hampered manner which our forefath-
ers adopted
so competition is always education
al, and develops the better thoughts
and ideas of mankind and proves an
inspiration to higher and better en-
deavOr.
New thoughts will be awakened by
these ceremonies, new ambitions will
be created and great achievements will
certainly result, remembering that our
individual efforts and desires for ad-
vancement should be in unison and
harmony. not in discord, and that we
should all be moved to nobler efforts
to promote each others welfare"

it will be seventy-five feet from ground

Boulder red stone, while the front
steps will be of red sandstone from Ly-

light gray brick from Golden and will
be trimmed with sandstone of nearly

ries of Pueblo. The inside walls OF
the building will be finished in the lat

Neither winds, rain, uprooted trees,
