off the sea and carrying with it over

1t isn't good policy to forge your way

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and
who is reasonably satisfied with the

Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because 1t Is guar
anteed by the manufacturers to be SUI
perior to any other brand, but because
each 1Oc package contains 16 ozs.,
while all the other kinds contain but

who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must

"The fact that your council indorses

Cripple Creek, Colo.-General Bell
has given out q statement concerning
his action in deporting strikers and
the causes leading to the same. He
attributes the recent troubles growing
out of the miners strike, and the strike
itself, to the socialist element, in the
Western Federation Of Miners, who, he
says, captured the organization two
years ago He declares the federation
has made unionism a secondary con-
sideration and the organization, root
and branch, is being made vehicle
for the promotion Of socialism. The
leaders, lie asserts, have not hesitated
to cause weak and willing members
to commit any crime to strike terror
to property owners or worlSingmen
who refuse to abide by their dictates" "
The murder of non-union men by
blowing up the Independence station,
he charges, was "pcrpetrated with the
aid and advice OF federation leaders
and by men in their employ"
The only hope of peace and security
of life and property was to ''cxter-
inmate the federation from the camp"
The employers agreed to make full
and frank statement concerning their
attitude towards all organized labor.
A committee is preparing draft of
such u statement which will be sub
mitted to the central committee for
approval before it is made public
Employers say that no radical action
will be taken except as to the Western
Federation of Miners and allied and
kindred organizations. The statement
will declare that the domination of the
Western Federation of Miners will not
be longer tolerated in the Cripple
Creek district.
The walking delegate and the boy
colt also will be declared against in
clear cut terms. The district trades
assembly, as now constituted, en-
ployers say, must be abandoned,
On the other hand, the employers of
labor will place themselves on record
as against any lowering of the exist
ing scale Of wages and hours.
