ing some of the men deported from

secretary Of the Ouray union. and Guy
Il. Miller president of the Telluride I'M

RE SOLUTIONS OF
LABOR CONVENTION

Denver. Jan. 13.-Yesterday's work
of the labor convention is summed up
in the following: The passage of a res
olution urging the adoption of Senator
Pattersor's resolution directing the
Senate committee on judiciary or
subcommittee to come to Colorado and
make a thorough investigation of the
present labor troubles; adoption of an
other resolution urging Denver's three
trades assemblies to unite; adoption OF
third resolution indorsing the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
exempting 5000 worth OF personal prop
erty from taxation. Last, but not least
the committee on ways and means was
appointed.
This act is by far the most important
of the convention. The instructions 10
the committee are that it devise some
feasible plan to Immediately place in
the hands of the State Federation OF
Labor a defense fund of such proper
tions that the position of the
struggling men in the strike
regions shall be made impreg-
nable. 1t is also expected to devise a
plan whereby Governor Peabodys re-
election or the success of the Repub-
lean party at the polls next fall will
be impossible.

Those interested in growing melons
for the Greeley district will meet at

growing OF this crop. which during
the picking season will require 600

at not less than 100000. about one
half this amount being covered by in

State Master Newcomb's annual adj
dress dealt mainly in matters only OF
interest to the Grange. Referring &c
present industrial conditions in the
state. he said:
The greatest hindrance to progress
in our state to-day is the trouble be-
tween organized labor and organized
capital. There must be a colored man
in the mine or counting house, or both
or these strikes would not occur SO Of
ten. The farmer to-day receives less
pay per hour for his work on the farm
than do those engaged in any other in
dustry; and who Is there among you
representative and organized farmers
OF this state. who have even discussed
going on strike? We believe in or.
ganization. We believe that the farm
ers should be organized. that they may
the better look after their interests
but we do not uphold the destruction
OF property and life as means to bring
capital to terms. Neither do we believe
| in the force of arms in settling these
difficulties. To me 1t seems the time Is
not far distant when the trouble be-
tween labor and capital will be ADJUST
ed by arbitration"

agree In the matter OF protection by
means OF tariff for both. there should
be no differences In the legislation
sidering dangers by way Of legislation
associations have been a unit.
In the matter of range difficulties.
there is nothing needed by the wool
grower that should be antagonized by
the wool manufacturer.
One matter In which there is an ap-
parent difference of opinion is in the
prevention of alleged fraudulent sales
OF wooden goods. The wool manufa;,-
turers, while not taking open issue, are
yet known to be fearful that the pro-
posed 'shoddy bill might infiict hard
ships. and. perhaps impossibilities upon
the manufacturer. without. as they
think, reaching the desired remedy.
We are reasonably certain that the
present protective tariff legislation will
not be disturbed, and therefore we ap-
prehend no violent or sudden change in
the industry. With comparative free
dom from apprehension on this score.
we have time and inclination to seek
better methods OF preparing the wool
for market and more satisfactory meth
DDS of marketing-in fact. We enter the
year 1904 in condition and with senti-
ment to improve and build up and
make permanently prosperous this
great industry"
President Roosevelt sent his greet
ings and best wishes to the convention.
The announcement was received with
prolonged applause.
