ALL STRIKERS BACK


OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 9.-The end
of the strike is disastrous to the un-
skilled men. They drew 19 cents
an hour when they went out, and on
their return can get but 171a cents.
The wages of the skilled men are I'M
changed The packers say they will
take the men back as fast as they
are needed. 1t is reported, however,
that about $50 men who were active
in the strike will not be taken back.
None of the men will return TO
work before Monday on account of
the lack of stock.

be summed up in the following editorial
this morning in the Denver Times. pub

Patterson:
The Supreme Court elected these Sena-
tors from the city and county Of Denver
to-day. The voters OF Denver elected
Belford. Delaney and Mcguire to the Sen
ate. Two Of the Judges of the Supreme
Court more than month after the cleo
tion. elect the candidates the voters re-
jected
THE court did this by bodily throwing
out the vote Of enough Denver precincts
This throwing out was done in proceed
ing to which Judge Campbell admits the
candidates the people elected were not
parties. and in which they had no opnor-
tunity TO be heard.
