The boycott has seriously handicapped
the Eastern company In more ways than
one. The O'Gorman department store
placed an order for load of soft coal
Saturday morning. The Eastern company
said they could not take 1t but late in the
afternoon sent a load which was return
ed.
Tho O'Gorman Company sent an order
to the Providence Coal company and the
coal arrived and was unloaded- Shortly
after the Providence companys team ar
rived the Eastern team drove up and was
sent back.
The first refusal OF family coal deliver
ed by non-union men came today when
IL was reported that Ave tons I'm two
loads were sent back to the Eastern yards
the people refusing TO accept II because
the driver could not show the union
working card.
BREWERY WORKERS TAKE ACTION
The Eastern company supplies the big
breweries, seven or eight in number and
IL is from this source that trouble Is ex-
pected. The Brewery workers union local
No. 166 met last evening In the Labor
Temple and voted TO refuse to handle any
coal delivered from the yards OF the East
ern company until the present difficulty
has been settled
The Eagle brewery took action against
the Eastern company Saturday and will
not receive any OF its coal till the union
men are back again upon the wagons.
Conditions at the other yards are about
the same as reported Saturday except
that more OF the union teamsters are at
work. The dealers are making an effort TO
make room for all OF the old men and II
Is only a matter OF a few days before
they will all be back In their positions
with the exception OF those employed by
the Eastern company.
The Eastern company Is making an ef-
fort TO clear matters up as evidenced by
their published statement which appeared
I'm all OF the local papers Saturday.
II is known that two OF their agents
visited the headquarters OF the union
teamsters IN Gaspee hall To consult Gen
eral Organizer Grace. They arrived at
about IL 30 and awaited the coming OF Mr..
Grace.
To MAKE EXPLANATION.
r B Little IN referring 10 the incident
said the agents were undoubtedly over
there with the purpose OF explaining more
fully the position taken by the Eastern
company.
Mr.. Little expressed the belief that the
teamsters were ignorant OF the true state
OF affairs and the statements made by
their leaders at the time OF the drawing
up OF the agreement.
The News representative asked him
what leaders made the statement that "it
was not expected that all OF tho men
would have their old positions" Mr.. Lit
tie hesitated little I'm replying and then
admitted that Mr.. Grace was not among
the number
The coal dealers say Mr. Evans admit
ted he did not expect all OF the men would
be able to go 10 work Immediately and
expressed a belief that matters would
straighten out satisfactorily In a few
days.

z CHARGES
He Is the Man Who Was Shot
In the Hsad Twice by
Rowland.

There was an echo Of the strike dis
turbance of Saturday morning IN the
Sixth district court today.
Edward Baxter was arraigned on two
counts. each being for an assault; one
upon Frank Howland and the other upon
Nelson Peters.
The latter are the colored men who
$50 o'clock Saturday morning, on their
way to work as non-union men at the
Eastern Coal company's Pomroy yard.
Baxter was with the group OF men who
are claimed to have held up the colored
men and assaulted them, and 1t was he
whom Rowland shot twice in the head.
IL was fortunate for Baxter that the
weapon was OF that type which DR.. Pal
mer once said was not dangerous one,
viz. a 22-calibre gun carrying a bullet
as big as a pea and impelled by a sus-
picions only OF powder.
The wounds were "a good deal more
painful than serious. One bullet was
hattened when 1t struck the skull.
Baxter appeared to be quite dazed to-
day, pleading In a halting, apologetic
manner as though he wasn't quite sure OF
his bearings.
II don't think am guilty. SIR" he said
to Judge Sweetland.
"Then 1 will put you down as not
guilty" said the court.
Both cases went over 20 Friday. the
oath instant. and In each the surety was
placed at $500.
BaXters head was done up In a big
bandage and there were blood spots upon
his collar and shirt His general appear
ance was that of a man who had been up
against a tough proposition and was just
beginning to realize the fact

THE CELEBRATION There is
going to be Fourth of July celebra
tion in Grand Junction. Have you
thought of that Along with this
fact it comes to the minds of many,
while it is good thing to call up
the remen. brance of patriotism of the
country it is also to be remembered
that each year dreadful accidents hap
pen throughout the United States
through the carelessness of overzeal-
ous men and boys. who think that the
greater the noise the greater the cele-
bration. One thing that should re
prohibited is the shooting of the big
canon crackers on the public streets
on the Fourth They are dangerous.
1t is all right to celebrate. but the big
fire crackers, are n menace to life.
They should not be discharged in the
city limits. The daily press of the
country each year chronicle hundreds
of serious accidents and great many
of them are traced to the deadly canon
cracker. Eliminate them from the
proposed celebration i'll this city on
the Fourth, and perhaps the life of
one or more small boys will be saved ;
permit them to be used and life is in
jeopardy.

Judge Marshall stated that congress had exceeded its legisla- tive power in empowering the sec retary of the interior to make rules, the violation of which would be a criminal act, and he held the law unconstitutional. The decision is regarded as of the greatest import ance to the Utah sheepmen, as a number of similar cases now pend ing will be thrown out of court.
