CALL FOR EXTRA SESSION OF
COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY Y

Denver. Colo. July T.-Governor
James II. Peabody last night Issued a
call for an extra session of the Legisla-
ture That body will convene on the
goth of July for the purpose OF pass
ing an appropriation bill. the legality
of which cannot be questioned. The call
does not include the consideration OF
the eight-hour law. and as the Legisla-
ture cannot act upon anything not in
cluded in the call, this session can pass
no eight-hour bill.
The proclamation of the governor
was brought forth because of the re-
fusal OF the Supreme Court to consider
the appropriation bill case. II held
that no constitutional questions were
involved and that the Court OF Appeals
was the proper place to send IT, The
effect of the action OF the court is to
sustain the injunction granted by Dis
trict Judge Carpenter forbidding the
state auditor and treasurer from issu-
ing or paving warrants drawn on the
fund made available by the general APP
preparation bill passed by the Four
teenth General Assembly. The COVER
nor was advised by Attorney General
Miller to call the extra session after
several hours of consultation yesterday.
The text of the proclamation Is as
follows;
''stnte of Colorado. Executive Chamber.
Denver.
Whereas. the Fourteenth General
Assembly Of the state of Colorado. at
its regular session on the sixth day OF
April. A. d. 1908, did adjourn sine die
after passing n general appropriation
biz. concerning the regularity Of which
serious objections have been raised.

Dipping Hoas.

A correspondent OF the Prairie Farm
er writes as follows:
Il noticed an item in a recent Issue
stating that someone had dipped hogs
with some sort of a solution to rid
them of lice. and that .it has proven
very effective. Please tell me what
It is"
our correspondent refers to ouT
mention of the work OF Dr. Peters at
the Nebraska experiment station, who
has proven, we think. by actual prac-
tlce, that it will pay to dip hogs some
thing after the manner that sheep are
dipped. and we understand that he has
Installed a steel tank for the dipping
OF hogs. II is claimed that II keeps
them clean and healthy. Stimulates
their food better and produces flesh
at lower cost than when the hoga
are harboring veriuin. We understand
that zenoleum was used in preparing
the dip. and we might state to our
correspondent and also to others who
have asked about dip for hog lice. that
II Is prepared something In this way.
Mix one pint Of zenoleum TO a bucket
OF water tthis means one part zeno-
lenm TO thirty pars OF water) and
where apparatus Is not at hand TO dip
thoroughly apply the above mixture
with a stif brush. sprinlsling can or
spray pump: however. we deem II a
good plan to dip the hogs the same
as sheep. as by this method the mix
ture would reach every particle OF the
body. IL is advised to repat the dip
ping OF sprinkling for eight days. This
will insure destroying the nits. We
might also add that there is a dip
ping tank being put in at the Indiana
experiment station. and we will look
for interesting results from this sta
tion little later on.-Prairie Farmer.

the Omaha and Grant smelter except
three foremen struck at 11:4O O'Clock
last night They dropped everything
and the furnaces were left with the
melted ore still in them, which solidi-

age. Later the strikers went to the
Globe plant. where 500 men were in
duced TO strike
The employees were induced TO strike
by 300 members OF the Denver Smelter-
mems Union, which held a meeting
last night at the Elyria town hall.
They left the hall and repaired to the
Omaha and Grant smelter. where they
persuaded about 800 employees to walk
out Three foremen alone remained
and these called up Superintendent
Livingston over the telephone and told
him of the trouble.
Mr.. Livingston called up police head
quarters and Captain Lee with ten
men left for the scene at once. Aside
from simply abandoning the fires the
strikers did no damage and the police
were only occupied in patroling the
vicinity

Immediately. The union states that
the reason for such action was that
only one of its men had been reinstat-
ed, in violation of the terms agreed up
on. In reference to the Telluride and
Portland mills. it would be unjust to
allow present conditions to continue.
"The union holds that General Man
ager MacNeill. by his course of action
since the agreement, has made other
action on the part of the union impos-
sible. 1t is now up to the United States
Reduction and Refining Company to
sign the union scale. which is In effect

mills. providing s2.25 as the minimum
scale. The notice that has been posted
at the Telluride mill OF the cut in

taken down by Mr.. Fullerton and no
cut whatever will be made. The union
has no complaint against the Portland
