able to reach their offices In this city.
Reports OF extensive floods and Sc

Replies have been received from
both companies refusing to meet our
representatives to adjust or consider
grievances complained Of These re-
plies were presented to the national
executive board for consideration, and
the following resolution was unani-

Resolved. That the national ex-

power to inaugurate strike in district
No. 10, in one week after the adjourn
ment of the national executive board II
a conference cannot be arranged or an
adjustment made of the Colorado stu

The following kilograms were sent to
the president OF the Mine Workers OF
America yesterday in answer to the
communication received by them:
Denver, Oct John Mitchell, In
dianapolis, Indiana, Answering your
telegram of yesterday, in Mr.. Hearnes
absence have to say that we have not
been advised and do not believe that
our miners have any desire to strike,
as we have always been able to adjust
directly with them any differences that
exist.
I'VE do not think your organization
Is authorized to represent our miners,
as very few of them belong to 1t.
If you understand the situation as 1t
really is. you no doubt regard the in
citing of any further industrial dis
turbance in Colorado as ill-advised and
criminal. J. f. WELBORN."

therefore, see no reason for meeting

The potatoes will be shipped to Kan

OF the available freight cars of every
road in Colorado are being hurried to
Greeley to secure potato shipments.
II is stated that any railroad having
5000 freight cars could go into the
Greeley district now and take out that
amount of freight. The tuber tonnage

by all the roads, as 1t is regarded as
one of the most important items of
