At tho beginring Of the strike OF the
Santa Fo msehinists the company was
granted a temporary injunction by which
the strikers were forbidden to enter upon
the premises Of the company or any way
interfere with the men who have taken
their places. a few days since at Ration
thu Santa Fe asked TO have the tempor-
ary injunction made permanent 1t would
seem that the justice Of tho injunction
was so evident that the motion
would not be resisted. But counsel
for the strikers did sock to
prevent continuance Of the injunction.
Judge Baker. after argumen. by counsel.
in mos. impressive manner and language.
determined the motion in favor Of the
company and the injunction is now per-
manent. Labor unions have Incorporated
in thar workings one idea which must bo
abandoned. and that is that the union
nan is entitled to monopoize the work
OF the world. They have sought by vio-
lenca to deprive other workers Of their
unquestioned rights. The man who does
not belong to union is, in tho eyes of the
law. in every way equal to tho unioiist.
and all violent attempts to prevent his
working should be met by most severe
measures by the lawful authorities.

The next step in the Kansas-colorado
water litigation is the gathering of facts
relative to the flow Of the river. The Su-

Colorado should have a full array of facts.

The Arkansas Valley m Importan,
Unit.

The Pueblo chie!,sin OF Sunday con-
-ained an editorial entitled "Ths Growth
Of Arkansas Valley Sentiment" from
which We make tho following extracts:
The region extending from tho Divide
70 tho southern boundary Of Colorado and
and from tho eastern state lino 10 the
summit Of the Continental range eons;i-
:u;os dis,ine; geographical division and
ono that has peculiar interests Of It's own.
There Is no reason why this territory
should be subordina,ed TO any outside
city or community. and there arc very
many evident good reasons why !, should
stand firmly in support Of its own inter-
ests and in .urtheraneo Of its own vol
faro.
1T is one Of tho pleasant features in
the growth Of an Arkansas valley scnti-
that there is general disposition to roc
ognizo the Importance Of Pueblo as tho
leading manufacturing and commercial
metropolis Of this region Tho central
position Of this city. its greater popula-
ton and tho start It has already secured
in industrial and commercial affairs. COM
mand tho approval and the praise Of tho
people Of this entire region. They gladly
endorse all that we have to say about
tho future greatness Of Pueblo and they
feel pride and a satisfaction in contrib
uting toward the upbuilding Of the larger
city.
The continuance and further develop
ment Of friendly relations between all the
people Of the Arkansas valley. and thar
corporation toward the furthoranee Of
common interests. means much for the
future prosperity Of this region. The
glowing word pictures Of what will be ae-
eomplished for the Arkansas valley in
Colorado by the combined effects Of min
ing. manufacturing and irrigation have
not been overeolored. and everyone who
has an interest in this part Of the country
should do whatever he can toward fur
thering the spirit Of cooperation and en-
couraging the sentiment Of local pride and
loyalty"
