Mining Items.

The Extreme mill is closed down and
will remain so for probably thirty days.
This is for the purpose of putting in a
tramway which will save the present
expensive wagon hauling from mine to
mill. The company will also install an
air compressor and drills which will
largely facilitate the work in the mine
and cheaper the production Of ore.
They have been troubled with lack of
water of late but that can be readily
overcome.
Mr.. Ed n. Davis our efficient assessor
for Custer County has been doing some
prospecting on the side and thinks he
has found something good. His new
find is located about % miles
southeast from town and shows up in
telluride Of bismuth rich in gold. The
vein runs east and west and is a true
fssure cutting the formation and is
about four feet thick. There is clay
gouge on each wall and the quartz bet
ween looks very fine indeed. We hope
he will realize something handsome out
of it.

Quite severe frost occurred in and
around Custer on TIE night of the 22nd
which, though it done but slight damage
to vegetation generally was quite severe
on potatoes. This will not interfere to
any great degree with the early varieties
which are ripe but must be hurtful
to those that are late in maturing 1t
will serve to teach US the lesson that
the earliest potatoes are always late
enough for this altitude and nCne others
should be planted. The frost run in
streaks and certain patches in favored
places were not touched, so we will have
plenty Of potatoes of excellent quality
for home consumption, and perhaps
some for shipment. The crops in all
.other lines are excellent, and bounti.

MOVER REPLIES TO PEABODY.

That was a strong reply President
Meyer Of the Western Federation of
Miners made to Governor Peabody last
week.
Cringing under the heavy denuncia-
ton coming from the press of Colorado
as to his attitude during the long
strike Of the miners. Governor Pea
body now attempts to explain himself
He declares that he is friend Of or
ganized labor, and that he fought the
Western Federation of Miners simply
because many Of it's members were out
laws. To this the miners union replies
by asking the Governor why he SUI
fered to have members Of the United
Mine Workers union, conservative or
ganization, deported from mining
camps?
The governor holds that the west
ern organization def1ed the courts. It
is an open fact that no citizen in the
United States ever defied the courts
of any state in such a bold and high
handed manner as did Governor Pea
body. In all of the trials that have
| been held during the present strike in
Colorado where members of the union
have been charged with almost every
perfidy in the catalogue Of crime, a
jury has brought in verdict Of acquit-
tai. In the cases tried in Teller coun-
ty the testimony fastened the guilt Of
the train wrecking on salaried detec-
tlves of the mine owners association.
Mi. Meyer has informed Governor
Peabody that he expects to succeed in
proving that the Independence depot
explosion was caused by paid agents of
the mine owners association and Citf-
zen's alliance, the two organizations
| which are regarded to be the "ho1y of
| holies' by James Hamilton Peabody,
| A far off view Of the situation in
Colorado seems to indicate that Coy
ernor Peabody has played. his last
card. Even the strictest partisans are
DESERVING him In hords. Newspapers
OF his political faith that hesitated to
denounce him at first, are now COM
PEELED, in the interest of common de-
cenecy, to severely rebuke him. The
men whom he sought to serve. so faith
fully are discovering that he is losing
caste with the voting populace, outside
OF the mining interests, and In, order
to save themselves from deserved de-
feat, are looking to- some other Pc son

JUDGE PARkER's SPEECH.

It is too late for the Labor World to
go into Judge Parker's speech of ac-
eeptance at length. Next week we
promise to give an opinion of it from
our standpoint. Every person has a
different way of looking at things.
From first sight it looks as if Judge
Parker stood pat on the gold standard:
almost agreed with the Republicans on
the question of Imperialism except that
he hopes to see the Filipinos capable
of selfgovernment in the near future.
He defines the question of personal
liberty from what he calls a Demo-
cratic standpoint, and incidentally
takes shot at union labor for deny-
ing men the right to work where they
will, although he said nothing about
the trusts which force thousands of
men out Of business every year, and
that deny hundreds of thousands of
workingmen the right to work in their
plants, except at the pleasure of the
trusts.
He said that there were laws enough
against the trusts; that common law
was sufficient to prosecute them, and
that all that was necessary was off,
ficials to enforce the law. All Of this
may or may not be true. In any event
we must agree with him in the asser-
ton that the officials have been dire
lect in their duties, but will Judge
Parkers friends do any better?
The speech cannot be regarded as a
strong document. In fact, in the most
vital parts it is evasive and meaning
less. There is no hope for industrial
relief expressed. No recognition is
given to the social unrest of the times.
Nothing is promised that will bring
more happiness and contentment to the
homes of the workingnen. In all it
appears that the silent judge said only
such things as would bring favor from
Wall street, and incidentally support
and campaign funds.

LABOR NEEDS A DEFENSE FUND

| There are one or two important In
large labor organizations of America.
Ever since President Roosevelt declar-
| ed tor the open shop the Parry organ
| izations have conferred their efforts in
a fight to have that institution MAIN
tanned at any cost.
Once the open shop prevails in any
industry, that moment the influence Of
unionism ceases. The opponents Of
labor recognize this fact, but the gen.
eral public is slow to grasp it. Public
opinion can easily be turned against
union labor in a strike, should it re-
fuse to accept a liberal offer from the
employers where every condition is
favorable except that of the open shop.
The public is SO conservative, and too
often fails to scratch deeper than the
surface on any question, be it political.
or Industrial
Organized labor is up against a hard
fight in attempting to quiet the Dues
ton of the open shop. 1t will cause
many prolonged strikes, and many ap-
peals for aid will be made by contest
ing unions. During the past year Min
nesota unions have contributed heavily
to the support Of the Minneapolis millers
and the Western Federation Of Miners.
Now an appeal is being made by the
Butcher Workmen, and Of course the,
unions of Minnesota will do their duty.
The frequent calls for aid from all
unions in a strike ought to teach union
labor a lesson. The fact that an Or
gantzation calls upon outside unions to
SUPPORT it in the third week Of it's
strike, indicates that there is some-
thing radically wrong with the finan-
cial system of that union.
Unions should learn by this time
"strikefare" Is money. The union that
does not provide for a defense fund is
not well organized, and is not justified
in calling upon other unions for large
donations in case of a strike for which
they are responsible. We do not mean
to discourage donations to the meat
cutters at this time, but we do feel it
our duty to urge upon our readers the
necessity for q healthy defense. fund,
If labor expects to hold its POSITION for
the next year it must have q sufficient
amount of money to enable it to make
the fights that will be waged against
it. Defense funds can only be raised
by high dues. Let no man who OBJ
jects to high dues complain about the
inability Of organized labor to provide
sufficient funds to carry on strike.

managed; that the person placed An
charge there was given his position be-
cause of his political utilization, and
not because of his special fitness for
the office.
Recently a. new person has been
placed in charge; one who has had
many years experience in the hand
ling of labor. We now predict that
with proper support from the city Of
ficials the bureau will be a success,
it will be doing the bulk of the busi-
ness in the city.

| PC)IITlI|l. AND
POLITICIANS!

7''' 4F"' ~
If union labor and it's friends would
but act on the signs Of the times they
would be able to cut quite a. dash in
the coming election. Capitalism is ;di-
vtded against itself on this election
year. One section is supporting Mr..
Roosevelt and the other is supporting
Judge Parker. If labor would unite
would there not be something doing
next November?
Have you observed that the candi-
dates for political office from Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Judge Parker down
to the most humble office seeker are
hesitating about speaking word Of
encouragement to labor in it's struggle
for more equitable conditions? They
all seem to fear the opposition of the
Parry organizations. Possibly it would
be different thing IT labor acted SO
consistently as to make them fear the
united votes of the workingmen.
The primary election is six weeks off
and interest has not become manifest
to any extent. The fight between ARM
stead and Bates has simmered down
to friendly bout. Both are button
holing their friends. and are losing no
time in visiting many Of them.
w. A. Holgate is gaining new
strength every day. His friends pre-
dict handsome majority for him at
the primaries.
1t is a we'll settled fact that Judge
Middlecoff will have no opposition
either at the primaries or at the polls.
Register Of Deeds Palmer, if all in
dicatiens count for anything will also
have asy sledging at the primaries.
Odin HaMen Is another lucky candt-
date. OF course. efficiency and affa-
bility is responsible for his popularity
with all classes Of people.
c. T. Crandall will file for the Repub-
hcan nomination for member of the
legislature from the Fiftieth district.
Their will be four candidates in this
district, Ray T. Lewis, Captain Ran
dali, Andrew Miller and C. T. Crandall
This would be good district to butt
into. We believe that the election of
an anti-repubican would be possible
there.
Thus far not one Democrat has filed
for county office. 1t looks as though
the party had been shot to pieces since
1t sold itself out to Wall street at St.
Louis.
Rumor has it as We go to press this
afternoon that friends of W. C. Sar-
gent are to get together and urge him
to become candidate for the Reptbli-
can nomina ton for sheriff. It is a we'll
known fact that if Mr. Sargent enters
the field he will become at once
formidable candidate, and will keep
both of the other fellows guessing I'M
til the polls close on the evening of the
primaries.
