THE FOUR CORNERS !

It may seem broad statement
to one who hears it for the first
time, that the only place where
four states, territories, or pro-
vinces join, is that point where
Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and
Arizona meet. Not only is this
the only ''four corners in the
United States, but it is the only
corner" of it's kind in the world.
Although the locality is unique
in this respect, it is not often
visited, as it is not easy of access.
Few tourists care to endure the
hardships of a pilgrimage to see
the monument which marks the
spot. The stone was eracted by
the United States government
surveyors, and is similar to those
used to mark other boundary
lines. On simple shaft in the
centre of the rocks are inscribed
the names of the states and terri
tories which touch the spot.
The monument is reached by a
trail which leads from the road
between Navajo Springs nd
Aneth, Utah. The trail leaves
the road near SCOTS trading post,
close to the Utah line, and crosses
the San Juan river. Th en- ] t s
course is along a spur Of the Cor
rizza mountains until it comes to
the spur, where the shaft is stu
ated. 1t is in the midst of coun-
try once densely populated by the
cliff dwellcrs. The ruins of their
homes are all about this section.
The point is nearly 100 miles from
Mancos, Col, the nearest railroad
town. We're it not for the rocks
a wagon could be placed SO that
the four wheels would be in as
many different states.
This monument was destroyed
a few years ago ply the Navajos,
but was rebuilt in the summer Of
1901. St. Louis Republic.
The independent., 1903-06-25

With all the usefulness of the Ne
braska Independent think it has
been doing great harm in some re-
spects, though unintentionally | pre-
sumo, and | respectfully ask for
fair hearing in the paper to explain
these errors.
l insist that the Omaha platform OF
July 4, 1892, must be the populist
guide That platform declares that
1--WE demand that the circulating me-
dunn be speedily increased to not
less than $50 per capita"
Although that platform was for
mally reaffirmed by our state conven-
tion last year, yet the Nebraska indie
pendent of July 3, 1902, assumed to
speak for itself and all the other pop
ulist papers of the state, and said:
"If there had been a newspaper
man on the platform committee, he
would have been little more care
full with his language and nave
written: We reaffirm the 'prin-
ciples' of the Omaha platform, as
was done the last time. However
many of the conditions then exist
ing still exist. The decentralization
of the people now is even greater
than then, the press is still subsi-
died, public opinion silenced j
bribery and corruption have grown
with the years. The increase in
the volume of money then demand
ed by the populists has been accom-
plished by the coinage of silver in
larger amounts than ever before
known and the increase in the out
put of gold which made the change
in the situation that all acknowl-
edge"
When read that editorial, was
filled with amazement, horror and
indignation that populism should be
thus thrown away in the house of it's
professed friends. But l voted the
ticket all the same. That is fine
spun distinction between platform
and it's principles. The principles OF
platform are fixed by the platform
itself and when the platform is
thrown away it's principles are gone
"The increase in the volume OF
money then demanded by the popul-
lists has been accomplished" says the
editorial. If that be SO, the republi-
can party must have the credit for 1t,
for that party has had the power and
has done whatever it pleased And
the credit thus due the republican par
ty is very great, for that increase to
$50 per capita is great leading pop
ulist measure, and if the republican
party has done it that goes long
way to diminish the necessity for q
populiSt party at all.
And again, according to the state
ment of the editorial, notwithstanding
the increase of circulation demanded
by the populists has been accom-
plished, yet the evils before existing
have grown worse. See how they are
set out in the editorial. And there
are others not mentioned in the edi-
torial. The monopolies, trusts and
labor expressions, labor strikes and
foreign ownership in our railroads
and other property, never before pre-
sented such hideous proportions as
row. When, in fact, the increase in
the volume Of money demanded by
the Omaha platform is accomplished.
as the editorial says it is, If these
great evils do not disappear, shall
say populism is great failure. And
this is the common sense view, nat
ural to be taken by everybody. So

Far-Reaching Decision.

A measure of far-reaching Importance
was decided by the United States Supreme
Court last week. 1t affirmed the constitu-
tionality of the Kansas eight-houI, law and
held, in brief. that the statute making a
days work eight hours for all employees on
public work was valid.
The opinion, which was handed down by
Justice Harlan, with Justices Fuller, Brew
er and Peckham dissenting. says IN part:
Whatever may have been the motives
that controlled the enactment Of the statute
in question, we can imagine ne possible
ground to dispute the power of the State
to declare that no one undertaking work
for Ii or for one of it's municipal agencies
shall permit or require an employ. on such
work to labor in excess of eight bours each
day, and to infiict punishment Upon such
contractors who disregard such II regula-
ton. 1t cannot be deemed patt of the
liberty of any contractor that he be al
lowed to do public work in any mode he
may choose to adopt. without regard to the
wishes OF the State.
While the law does not apply to those
working for private employers. z greatly
aids the legislative committee of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor In pressing TO a
vote a national eight-hour law in Congress.

QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.
Representatives of Two Unions ts
Meet Soon In This City.

Although the date has not been fixed,
there will be held soon In Indianapolis a
meeting of representatives of the Amalga-
mated Woodworkers of America and the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners. The object of the meeting is to
come to some clear understanding of the
jurisdiction of the two unions. The rep
resentatives will include Thomas /. Kidd,
president, and Dennis Mulchaney, secreta-
ry-treasurer of the Amalgamated Wood
workers and William Huber, president,
and Frank Duffy, secretary of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.
The conference has been asked by
Thomas line Kid i'd Wdth view to dsGid Ing
two unions, relative to the decision handed
down by the American Federation of La
Dor. The Jurisdiction fight between these
two unions is the most bitter now raging
the effect that the Amalgamated Wood
workers should have jurisdiction over all
mill hands. In view of the fact that about
5000 members of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters mill hands, the enforce
ment of the decision would mean the trans
fer of that number of men from the one
organization to the other. The American
Federation of Labor being q voluntary or
ganization, the carpenters declare plainly
and forcibly that they do not have to abide
by the decision and will not give up almost
a third of their members. They further
state that the benefits of their organiza-
ton being almost twice as great as those
of the woodworkers, their men would not
submit to a transfer of membership. The
outcome of the fight is impossible to fore
cast, but it is almost certain that the car
penters do not mend to lose many of their
members because of the decision.
The conference was to have been held
last week, but on account of the absence
of President Huber from the city. it. was
postponed until his return, which will
probably be the latter part of this week.

tiers in Manchester. 1t has branches in
America in which there are about 1900
carpenters.
The present conference of the committees
is to discuss and make such changes as are
thought advisab BILE in the decision Of Umpire
Adolph Strausser, which was handed down
several weeks ago. The decision provides
for the amalgatiOn of the two unions and
was accepted by the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and JOiners. However, the
Amalgamated Society wishes to have GER
tain clauses of the decision altered. Umpire
Strausser says that such alterations as the
committees may decide upon will be- accept
able to him.
There is no doubt but that the arnalgama-
ton will be perfected The changes which the
Amalgamated Society desire to make are
minor ones and will not affect to any degree
the specifications of the decision. Copies OF
the decision have been sent to the various
local unions of the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners and have been rati-
fed. 1t is only a question of few weeks
until the two organizations are amalga-
mated into one union, which will be known
as the United Brotherhood Of Carpenters
and Joiners of America

capital and curtails the rate of its accumu
lation and the injury it causes in this
way is felt more by labor in general than ii
is by the owner of the capital. An I'M
natural wage scale Increases the cost of
production, and the prices of the product
are raised. Because of the increased prices
some people find it impossible to buy and
use articles which previously they were
able to have. while others who pay the
enhanced prices find their power TO pur-
chase other articles they have been in the
habit of buying considerably curtailed.
There is consequently a reduced consump-
ton, and this, iii turn. means less men
employed in the industry. 1t is thus those
who can stand it the least who suffer the
most by the bolstered-up wage scales.
IMPOVERISHES LABOR.
"Unionism thus tends to impoverish ra-
ther than to enrich labor. 1t does this be-
cause It lessons production. 1t not only
lessons production directly through in
creasng the cost of production, but it also
does it indirectly through limiting the
amount OF work to be known as a days
labor In every union that / ever heard of,
soldering is taught fine art. Only
the other day a great firm failed because
it was impossible to get the men to do
fair days work. They dawdled and went
to sleep with their hammers in their hands.
When demonstrated with, they said that
their union protected them The unions
say to their men: THE less you do. the
get jobs" In the case / refer to, there
ought to be a great demand for labor, If
this theory is correct, for the men did
little before the failure, and now they are
doing nothing at all. If the 'go-easy rule
of unionism is valid, all labor should quit
work entirely, and then every one ought
to be rich.
I'm the last century wages have quad
rupled in the United States, and the hours
of labor have decreased from fourteen to
sixteen down to about ten. Did unionsm
do this?-No; for unionism has been strong
as a force only in the last few years. 1t
brought it about, and, as capital multipnes
in the future. so wages will continue to ad-
vance and the hours of labor to gradually
lessen. Unionism cannot accelerate, it can
only check, the process.
cit is also asked What is necessary In
order to bring about permanent settlement
and peace between the two great forces?
81 can only reiterate that the one remedy
needed is the strict enforcement Of primal
rights under the Constitution of this coun-
try. 1t is folly to talk about making set
Element with a force that stands for law
lessnesS. There is no room for compromise
on the question of allowing a man to dis
pose of his labor as he sees fit, or on the
question of an employer being allowed to
employ whom he sees fit. The closed
shop principle of organized labor Is UNI
American, disastrous industrially and in ut
ter contravention of the laws and institu-
for wages, based upon their ability to pre-
vent other men from working in their places,
ought not to be made the subject of COM
promises any more than they should be
granted through coercion. There Is no valid
dispute between labor and capital that can
not now be settled in existing courts"

NINE WORKERS, CONVENTION.
1t Will Probably BE the Largest One
Ever Held by that Union.

Ever Held by that Union.
The next large convention of laboring men
that will be held in Indianapolis is that of
the United Mine Workers of America
Their fifteenth annual convention will con-
vene in Tomlinson Hall at 10 o'clock Mon
day morning, Jan. 49, 1904. 1t is expected
that the convention will be the largest that
has ever been held in the history of the
United Mine Workers. Over 1000 delegates
will be present, representing 1000 local
unions throughout the United States and
Canada.
The convention will be an important one,
for the reason that the wage scale of the
miners for the ensuing year will be decided.
What the wage scale will be no one can
tell until the delegates assemble and give
the instructions received by them from their
respective local unions. 1t is certain that
the convention will take further steps look
ing to the Improvement Of the conditions
among the miners.
Recent reports in Chicago papers state
that at the coming convention the mine
operators of the districts of Illinois, Indiana
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, will de-
mand that the miners accept decrease in
wages of 70 per cent. On the other hand,
the reports state that the miners will make
a demand of 10 per cent. in wages over the
present scale. The authenticity of these
reports Is not confirmed either by the off,
Gals of the United Mine Workers or by
mine operators of this city
Vice President Lewis. of the United Mine
Workers. says that nothing has been heard
about the headquarters to the effect that
the operators are anticipating TO make a
decrease in the wages OF the miners He
further denies the report that their organi-
cation will ask for 10 per cent. increase
in their wages, saying that at the present
time it is impossible to know what the wage
scale for the next year will be, because
that is decided by the delegates assembled
President Mitchell will preside over the
convention, and will make such recomsnen-
dations as TO the new wage scale as he
thinks just and proper.
