NINE WORKERS
DO NOT CALL OUT MORE MEN
viii Appeal for Aid to Carry on Strike
in Southern Colorado but viii
Not Order Strike in North
ern Districts

Pueblo. Colo. June 26-With yester-
days session the executive committee
of the Fifteenth district, United Mine
Workers of America, adjourned for an
indefinite period.
Although the various members OF
the committee were extremely reti
cent as to what had been done, It was
learned that the principal features of
public interest were the adoption of an
appeal to the Mine Workers of Amer
lea and the public for aid in the strike
and decision not to call out the union
miners throughout the district who
are not now on strike. unless circum-
stances should be such that it is best
to do so in the opinion of the execu-
tive committee.
1t was thought for a time that every
union miner in the district would be
called out in supreme effort to win
in the southern Colorado district.
without stating what their plans are
for continuing the strike, the mem
bers of the executive committee state
that 1t is not probable that any more
miners will be called out for some time
at least.
The appeal that will be made to ev-
cry member of the organization in the
United States and to the public at
large embraces a short history of the
strike and outlines the conditions Of
the miners throughout the district
This will be sent broadcast through
out the country and is one of the
methods adopted for raising funds for
continuation of the strike in this
district. The financial support of the
national organization has been with
drawn and the district will be depend
ent in the future on its own efforts to
raise money for continuance of the
strike.

mind ana character which history will
confirm and repeat.
Eulogixes Roosevelt.
Tho American people were fortunate
in his successor, to whom they turned
with a trust and confidence which have
been fully justified. President Roose-
Welt brought to the great responsible
ties thus sadly forced upon him,
clear head, a bra.ye heart, an earnest
patriotism, and high ideals of public
duty and public service. True to the
principles of the Republican party and
+, to the duties to which the party had
declared, he has also shown himself
ready for every emergency and has met
new and vital questions with ability
and with success.
The confidence of the people in his
justice. inspired by his public career
enabled him to render personally an
inestimable service to the country by
bringing about settlement OF the coal
strike which threatened such disas-
trous results at the opening of tho
winter of 1902.
Our foreign policy under his admin
istration has not only been able. Wig
orous and dignified. but in the highest
degree successful. The complicated
questions which arose in Venezuela
were settled in such way by Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the Monroe doc
trine was signally vindicated and the
cause of peace and arbitration greatly
advanced
His prompt and vigorous action In
Panama. which we commend in the
highest terms, not only secured to us
the canal route, but avoided foreign
complications which might have been
of very serious character. He has
continued the policy of President Nc
Kinley in the Orient and our position
in China, signaliZed by our recent
commercial treaty with that empire.
has never been so high.
He secured the tribunal by which
the vexed and perilous question OF
the Alaskan boundary was finally set
tied.
Whenever crimes against humanity
have been perpetrated which have
shocked our people, his protest has
been made and our good Offices have
been rendered, but always with due
regard to international obligations.
Peace With the World.
Under his guidance we find our
selves at peace with all the world
and never were we more respected. or
our wishes more regarded by foreign
nations.
Pre-eminently successful in re-
gard to our foreign relations, he has
been equally fortunate in dealing
with domestic questions. The country
has known that the public credit and
the national currency was absolutely
safe in the hands of his administra-
ton. In the enforcement of the laws
he has shown not only courage. but
the wisdom which understands that
to permit laws TO BE violated or dis
regarded opens the door to anarchy,
while the just enforcement of the law
is the soundeEt conservatism. He has
held firmly to the fundamental Amer
lean doctrine that all men must obey
the law, that there may be no dis
tinction between rich and poor. be-
tween strong and weak. but that just
ice and equal protection under the law
must be secured to every citizen with
out regard to race. creed or condition.
His administration has been thor
ough, vigorous and honorable. high
minded and patriotic. We commend
it without reservation to the consider
ate Judgment of the American people.

The Administration and Peace.

Secretary Hay made an impressive
speech in extending, in behalf of the
government, welcome to the delegates
of the international peace congress in
session at Boston p, Il
MIR. Hay is conspicuously cham
pion of international peace. His fine d.
plomacy has been utilized in that in
terest, notably with reference to China,
which has escaped the ruthless disin-
tegratlng designs of the European
powers thru the firm and unyielding at
tltude of our state department and has,
during the present war between Russia
and Japan, had her neutrality definitely
and savingly recognized by belligerents
and powers.
While vigorous champion Of peace
and firm believer in the efficacy of re-
lgion as procuring cause Of peace be-
tween nation and nation, Mr.. Hay, as
might be expected, holds to the manly
and practical view that general disarma-
ment before the millennium dawn has
begun to gid terrestrial heights, would
be arrant folly and he would stick to
''''SiA'iS>ooAl "1oo ~ toCI1pGAOH W pre-
serve peace by being prepared for war.
In our very ornaments and munitions of
war, Mr.. Hay shows that our national
policy is peace, as our army is reduced
to it's small minimum of 10000 men
about three-fourths of a soldier for
every thousand of population, proper
ton, the secretary said, which, if adopt
ed by other powers, "would at once
eliminate wars and rumors of wars from
the daily thoughts of the chancellories
of the world.'
Abiding to the project of our gov
eminent taking the initiative in bring
ing about supplementary meeting of
The Hague conference at no distant
day, Mr.. Hay read extracts from the
last annual message Of President Roose-
welt and from the annual message of the
late President Mckinley in December
1898, approving and recommending the
settlement of international disputes by
arbitration.
1t is gratifying to know that it is
most probable that, if Roosevelt is
elected in November, Mr.. Hay will con-
tinue his valuable activities in the de-
partment Of state. The country under
stands today more than ever before the
real measure of the value of those
services. - @~- ~ p. -.

Frosted Wheat. -

A recent issue Of The Journ
contained some very tart remarks by
Senator Hansbrough with regard to the
ruling of the board of appraisers on
'' frosted wheat from Canada. The
senator intimated that the decision had
been improperly obtained, and that the
board of appraisers had no power to de-
termine what duties should be CHARGED
upon imports.
The effect of the decision was to adj
NIT frosted wheat' at lower rate
than the regular import tax of 25 cents
bushel. The article being classed
as unenumerated manufactured
product was admitted at the rate Of
about ten cents a bushel, and the sena-
tor was apprehensive that the effect
would be that nearly all the wheat
across the border would be 'frosted,'
and brought in at the ten-cent rate.
The treasury department publishes
the rulings of that department and the
decisions of the board Of general an
pralsers, and the publication containing
the decision in this case is at hand.
From that decision it appears that the
court took testimony to show what kind
of an article was described by q Frosted
wheat, - and established the fact that it
was an article that could not be used
for the manufacture of flour and would
not terminate, hence was fit only for
cattle and chicken feed.
The term wheat,' used in the tariff
law refers only to an article classified
under "breadstuffs and ,farinaceous
! substances. Frosted wheat is not a
breadstuf or farinaceous food according
to the board of appeals. Any wheat
suitable for the manufacture of flour
and breadstuffs must pay the regular
duty contemplated by the law, and that
is the article which is understood by the
term "wheat.' The article described
as "frosted wheat' and which is fit
only for food for animals, is, of course.
much cheaper article and one upon
which duty of 10 cents bushel
would bear about the same proportion
to the value as the 25-cent rate does
to the value of good wheat. 80 ~~s
The court recognized the Importance
OF this importation by taking cogni-
zance OF the fact that the farmers Of
the northwest, who would be most af-
fected by the importation of good
wheat, have use for and desire to, OBJ
tain feed for their domestic animals
such as "frosted wheat affords, and
from the standpoint of public interest
it was regarded as wise to admit this
article at a less rate than. the regular
tariff on wheat. @-
AS for the authority of the court,
the senator is probably mistaken. The
board Of appraisers does not seem to
be exceeding it's authority, inasmuch
as 1T has the same power to construe
the law as the United States district
court or circuit court. In all matters
of controversy with regard to tariff
duties, 1t IS the court of first instance.
Its decisions are subject to review by
the United States circuit court and
the United States courts of last resort:
50 that, if the decision is not sound.
that fact can be established by appeal.
II, on the other hand, the rulings of
the court are detrimental to the public
