warm, the snow will melt and CON-

the Ohio river will be up past the

predictions about foods. We hope
the professor Is mistaken this time.
Of course, If we have rain three

we have now would make terrible

The Cuban reciprocity treaty passed
the senate Wednesday by vote of 81 to
IS. Senator Bailey questioned the con-
stitutionality of the bill on the ground
that neither the president or senate had
right to originate treaty affecting
the revenues. The legality of the treaty
may be contested by manufacturers of
beet sugar.

One of the Washington papers has al
ready begun to look up the congressman
who expect to become candidates for re-
election next year, To the republicans
Of this congressional district the an
nouncement that Congressman Joseph
w: Fordney is among this number will
give an unusual degree of satisfaction.
For the first time in many years the re-
publicans of this district have had a
representative who not only served his
district well, as did his republican pred
ecessors, but in addition has made it
such popular thing to have the repre-
sentative from this district a republican
that he has been reelected twice by in
creasing majorities, in presidential and
off years alike, placing the district quite
out OF. the uncertain class. In fact it is
evident that the eighth district will be
safely republican by constantly increas-
ing majorities as long as Congressman
]. w. Fordney will consent to re-
present it in congress. The Washing
ton paper above referred to quotes Mr..
Fordney as saying: THE matter rests
wholly with the people of my district.
If they decide to honor me with fourth
nomination I will accept and will try
to show them that experience in con-
gressional matters rebounds to the bene-
fit of a congressma constituents.
From the letters which come to me
from every part of my district feel
perfectly confident of my denomination
and subsequent reelection by larger
majority than any have yet received"

MINERS GOING 10 OTHER FIELDS

| An Eight Hour Day, Increased Wages
and Other Concessions Demanded.
Refusal Of Coal Companies to Con-
fer With Union Caused Trouble.
Denver, Nov. 10.-One hundred coal
/ mines have been closed down in Colo
RADIO, and more than 10000 miners are
on strike for an eight hour day, in
creased wages and other concessions.
The strike was ordered by the ma
tional executive officers of the United
Mine Workers Of America after the
coal companies refused TO confer with
union representatives concerning the
demands Of the men. OF the idle men
5000 are in the southern coalfelds,
/ 1000 in the northern coaIfeIds and
800 in Fremont county
/ A few independent properties in the
northern coalfields and elsewhere will
not stop work since the operators have
agreed to concede the eight hour day
and also increased wages. Less than
1000 miners will remain at work, ac-
cording to reports from the affected
districts. The announcement comes
that 600 men have gone out in Colfax
county, N. M. The others in that ter
ritory are now negotiating with the
mine owners.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron, Victor
Fuel and Northern Coal and Coke
companies are the largest producers.
Practically all of this property has
been tied up by the action of the min
ers. However, they are making eff
forts to continue operations under the
protection of a strong guard. There
are about fourteen coal mines in the
state with an output Of 100000 tons
of coal year and about 100000
tons of coke.
Miners Being Sent to Other States.
It will be the policy of the United
Mine Workers to depopulate the vari-
GUS coal districts by sending the idle
men and their families to Illinois, In
dian Territory, Missouri, Iowa and 9th
err states, where work has been secur
ed for them.
Some 5000 fares in these states had
already been arranged for by the Unit
ed Mine Workers, and hundreds of the
strikers are on their way to new fields.
The storm center viii be about Trini-
dad, in the southern fields, where the
number of miners aggregates 5000.
At the towns of Hastings and De.
lagna, where the Victor Coal company
employs $500 men, it is reported that
only 1000 miners are working. Both
places are strongly guarded, and
strangers are not allowed to enter
them.
General Manager Welborn of the
Colorado Coal and Iron company an
nounces that the company will contin-
ne to operate its mines, and the pub
lie need have no fear of a coal famine.
