COST OF THE COLORADO STRIKE.

The tremendous money cost of the .
Colorado Labor troubles as sized from |
the lives that has been lost. makes
the conflict. or series of conflicts.
memorable in the history of labor aud
capital strikes in this country. An It
emized statement published the other
day puts the total loss at $4,000 ,00n..
Of this great sum II 400, 900 has been
lost in wages That is, as is usually
the case in such troubles. the men
who can least afford to bear the bui-
den are the men who are called upon
to bear it.
The published statement no account
is taken of the loss to business men
in the districts involved in the strike.
These losses are surely worthy of con-
sideration. When merchants find their
sales suddenly shut off, when there Is
no market for their wares, the loss
to them is keenly felt. Further, hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth
of accounts perfectly good under nor
NAL conditions, have become absolute
ly worthless.
It is not worth while at this time
to try and fix the blame Of the trou-
BILE. Undoubtedly large share OF it
may be placed at the doors OF the
mine owners themselves, it will be re-
membered that, at the last session u
the legislature an effort was made
to pass an eight hour law and a maj
Ority of the members of the legislat-
ure we're pledged in advance OF their
election to vote for such measure
Nevertheless, it failed to pass. Why!
because the mine owners fought 1t Wig
orausly and. some say, corruptly, while
it was freely charged that several
legislators were bribed to vote against
the bill. The present strike has been
going for more than year, it having
been precipitated by the efforts of the
Western Federation of Miners to com
pel the mine owners to do what thu
legislature had refused to compel then
to do. The miners are saying tina,
the owners sowed the wind and thai
the reaping of the whirlwind is th<
logical sequel. Be that as it may, how
ever, the anarchy that prevails nov
in certain sections of Colorado mus
be rigidly crushed. After peace ha
been restored it will be time enOug
to place the responsibility.
Both sides have been to blame, boil
sides have committed outrages OF
absolutely excusable character. Blu
the only thing to do now is to us
every possible and reasonable metho
of restoring order and returning co
orado to her rightful place among til
first three or four mining states {

Why is this? They are constructed on this basis on account or the coastwise steamship competition.
 On the first six classes, we hnd the rates from the East show an average of 12 cents per hundred pounds in favor of the rates now in eftect by the steamship lines and the Alabama river. the benefit of which would of course result on the economous tonnage to Selma, Montgomery and Wetumpka' and nearby points, and the local terri tory along the course of the river, were the river in permanent navigable con- dition the year round, and an active competitor of the rail lines on thls cIass of business.

 W. F. VandIver Speaks.
 W. F. vandiver of Montgomery was introduced to speak on Necessity of the Appropriation Mir. Yandiver spoke on the subject at length and was frequently applauded.
 His address was as follows:
 The committee have assigned to me the subject. Necessity for the Appro- priation" by the Government. of a sum sufficient for the permanent improve ment of the Alabama River, and for the continued maintenance of such perma- nent i~ provement.
 The subject is at once simple and dif- ficult: It Is simple. because every one who has given the matter any thougnt at all, will at once agree that this ap- propriation is necessary. It is difi- cult in that. jt will be almost impossi- accrue to the State by the proposed im- provement of the Alabama River.
 This question has been discussed previously on several occasions, with United States Government for aid in improving Alabama's greatest water way. so as to insure permanent navi- gation. I believe. the movement now on foot has assumed more definite shape than ever before, and those who are conducting the movement are to be congratulated upon the interest which their efforts in this direction have aroused.
 It appears to me. and say this without the slightest reflection upon any individual or community, that fine citizens of Alabama have been sleeping over their rights in this matter. They have never before thoroughly realized what innumerable benefits and vast op- portunities would be afforded to them by having the Alabama River put In permanently navigable. condition tue year round.

 Bankhead's Speech the Feature.

Bankhead's Speech the Feature.
 Congressman Bankhead gave the conyention the benefit of his wide in-
 sight into the work of the Committee.
 He laid out a plan of work for the
 convention and he assured the conven-
 ton of his earnest and active co-oper-
 ation in the Committee room and on the
 floor of the House. He was given a
 great ovation. The Nestor of the Ala
 bama Congressional delegation seem
 ed to appreciate the fervor with which
 he was greeted and entered into the
 project with an enthusiasm that is sell
 dom seen in an old and experienced leg islator. Long after he had closed his prepared remarks, he held the floor and advised the 200 or more business men
 assembled how to attain the thing they sought. This latter part of his address was entirely informal. He had the ap- pearance of an old and tried general giving advice and orders to younger subordinates.-- The enthusiasm,, with which he was greeted was smarked.
 From the first 1t was evident that the convention had not assembled to listen to oratory. The delegates had journeyed to Montgomery to consult with others in an effort to secure an appropriation which they were confi-
 dent would bring additional prosperity to their respective cities and towns. They had no time to listen to oratory for oratory's sake. and~the business of the convention was conducted in a
 business-like manner. : There was no enrolment of delegates and the delegations from the various cities and towns were not restricted. Any person, who was enough interested l in the meeting to attend. was given

 Other Communities Interested.
 The convention was originally term cd the Alabama River Convention" but early in the session it developed that this term was a misnomer and that the people from the banks of the Coosa, the Tallapoosa, the Tennessee, and all other rivers of Alabama were equally interested in the success or. failure of the assembly. These people. through their Congressman. expressed the sentiment and belief that the i'm provement of the Alabama River from Wetumpka to Mobile, meant improve ments on the Coosa River, making a waterway of over TOO miles from Rome. Ga, to the Gulf City of Alabama, and in all probability a connection with the Tennessee River, giving thousands of bales of cotton. bushels of corn and rails of steel easy access to the Mexi- can Gulf and to the Panama Canal.

Alabama river is merely a theoretical factor in the making of rates. but the shippers of cotton cannot. with any degree of assurance. ship cotton by river from point of production or points of concentration to the port, but the river competition, as vague as 1t now Is. has It's effect upon the rates, wherever 1t comes in competition with the rail lines. When the condition of the river is unfayorable for water transportation, the rail lines are inde- pendent. and can adjust their rates as they see fits knowing that they have little to fear from the Alabama river. But. on the other hand, if the Alabama river were made permanently navtga- ble the year round. as this proposed appropriation contemplates, what would be the resuitl The shipper ef
