SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT
Organized Labor at Denver Has
Submitted an Offer For
Arbitration.

Denver, Colo, May 16-AlthOugh the
number Of strikers in this city was in
creased 10 nearly GOO today and many
branches Of business are seriously Grip
pied, the labor situation has changed
for the better inasmuch as there are
now Indications that arbitration will
be agreed upon The general executive
committee of organized labor today ac-
cepted the offer OF the services Of the
state board of arbitration, subject TO
the following stipulatOns,
''F'irst-That eleven employees now
locked out by the Candy Manufacture
ers' association and the Transfer Men 5
association be allowed TO return TO
work by the mem bers of such employ
ers' associations
"Second-that the differences between
employers and the grocery clerks, van
drivers, bakers and any other crafts
having differences, be submitted to
your board for arbitration.
Third That on acceptance Of this
proposition by the employers concerned
in the differences we viii Immediately
order back to work each and every
other workman now out, under con-
tracts now in existence"
Committees of the chamber of com
merce and of the Allied Printing
Trades council are also working to
bring about a settlement Of the existing
difficulties. Only a few cases of dis
turbance were reported today and none
was OF a serious nature.
The citizens alliance rejected the
proposition that the matters in con-
trOversy be submitted to the state ar
bitration board for settlement on the
ground that the unions have refused
to recognize the alliance. Several other
arbitration proposals have been sug-
gested by those who are trying to bring
the two sides together and II is hoped
that some tangible result may soon be
reached

ing in Private.
Yosemite, Cal. May 16-Shortly after
noon today the presidential party. oc-
eupying four stages, entered the Yo-
semitic valley. The president himself
did not accompany the party he
eluded large crowd awaiting him IN
the valley by taking the trail with a
few members Of his party at Chin
Quapin. thirteen miles fVom here. The
colored troopers Of the Ninth cavalry
broke the trail through the snow,
which was quite deep in places. The
remainder Of the party, numbering
about tWenty-fOur. took horses ana
mules at the foot of the trail for Glacier
Point, one mile below the Sentinel
hotel.
In accordance with the president 5
desire to enjoy his outing in private,
his movements were jealousy guarded
by all officials. It is expected that
President Roosevelt and party win take
luncheon today at Glacier Point hotel
and possibly camp there tonight This
hotel is $500 feet above the floor of the
valley and affords an excellent view
OF its magnificent features.
Preparations had been made for the
president to stay at JOrgensen's studio,
In the center Of the valley, and the
crowds were greatly surprised and dis
appointed when the president did not
appear.
All the hotels and public camps are
crowded to overlooking and innumer-
able campers have arrived. The trail
which the president VIII travel is closed

dee and President Wheeler Of the Uni
versity of California arrived at the

Park Commission Fixed up q Pro
gramme of Their Own.
Yosemite, Cal, May 1e.-President
Roosevelt has not been heard from to-
day. He is supposed to have been in
the vicinity Of Glacier Point this morn
Ing, but there was no word from him
to Secretary Loeb when his party
reached the Sentinel hotel here this
afternoon. Snow fell today in the
mountains in which the president is
supposed to be and the weather became
quite cold. Should the weather become
too cold tonight for outdoor camping
there are z number of shanties lOca ted
In different parts OF the mountains N
which the president could spend the
night quite comfortably.
Notwithstanding the fact that Che
president before leaving Washington,
outlined the programme he was to fol-
low during his stay in the Yosemite,
the Yosemite park commission decided
that he should follow another pro
gramme which they adopted without
consulting him. This latter programme
provided for fireworks, the firing of ly-
Mantle to produce loud echoes and the
participation by the president in some
sort of a public ceremony. Without
the presidents knowledge this pro
gramme was circulated broadcast and
people came into Yosemite from hun
dreds Of miles away to see him. When
they found that the president was not
10 be there their disappointment was
very great.
The president was not told of this
proposed change in the programme IN
til yesterday and even then he was not
told that people were coming from such
long distances to see him AS he Das
tired out as the result of the hospital
ity OF San Francisco, ne decided that
he would adhere to the original plan
and spend the next few days in seclu-
sion

two opposing classes-capitalists and

two opposing classes-capitalists and
wage workers.
3.-The capitalist class controls al!
the wealth, and receives all the bene'
fits of wealth production, while the
wage working class produces all
wealth. performs all useful labor, and
has for it's share poverty, want and
fear of want, receiving only enough
to keep a DOOR life in their body and
enable them to propagate a race OF
wage slaves.
An this class society, the Social
list party is fighting the political bat
tie of the working class to end their
oppression, and to emancipate them
from capitalist robbery through the
system of the private ownership of
productive property. and finally to
make them the masters of their own
products.
5.-None of the other political
parties-republican, democratic OF re.
form-openly stand for any one class.
They pretend to stand for all classes,
but, their actions, following the cleo
ton, have been invariably in the in.
terest of the capitalistic class.
6.-Despite alleged political equality
members Of the working class are
wage slaves dependent upon the CAPT
talist for a livelihood, and political re-
form, such as municipal ownership, the
referendum, election of senators by di-
rect vote, proportional representative
and such like propositions, in the
hands Of the capitalist class, will not
make them other than beggars, who,
to exist on this earth, must have a
master. We, however, declare our.
selves as being u%nalterably opposed
to the granting of municipal franchises
to private corporations, believing ex.
plicitly that municipal capitalism is
far preferable to private capitalism.
1.-THE Socialist party is a party of
the working class-composed of work
ers, organized by workers, and solicits
your vote in order to secure for this
class the ruling power, in order that
this power may be used in the in
terest of this class, and thus secure
Industrial liberty-that is Socialism
a condition of society in which the
laborer will own and control the means
OF production and distribution and re,
ceive the full social product of his
labor.
8.-Recognizing that the power to
be obtained even by success in the
present campaign is limited, neverthe.
less we pledge our candidates, if
elected, to do all in their power to
further the interests of the working
class.
