DEATH TO UNIONISM.
Citizens Alliance of Cripple Creek
=. Takes Stand.

~Cripple Creek, Colo, June 10
Death to unionism in the Cripple
Creek district is the slogan OF the
Citizens alliance, which has sent a
decree broadcast that every person
connected with any union here must
either sever his or her connection
with such organization or leave the
district.
This latest stand of the anti-union-
lists was vaguely limited at two days
ago, but the movement on the part
of the alliance seemed absurd to three
or four thousand unionists in the
camp, and its enforcement fraught
with so many difficulties that it was
not taken seriously.
Tison s. Dimes, a Denver attorney,
and one of the executors of the STRAIT
ton estate, is here in conference with
Citizens alliance leaders, and it is
announced that he is preparing a
form which will be presented to every
merchant and business man and other
employers of labor in the entire dis
trict, pledging them not to employ any
person who is affiliated with a labor
union.
No person who works for a living
will be exempt, and the absolute an
initiation OF unionism in this countr
is predicted by members of the Citi-
zens' alliance and the Mine Owners
association. This is considered the
most drastic step yet taken by the al
lance since 1t secured the upper hold
in the district, and its enforcement
will affect three thousand men and
women now affiliated with the various
unions. Among the unions that will
be affected by the new movement are
the clerks, cooks and walters, barten-
ders, carpenters, electricians. train
| men and stone and brick masons. The
| unionists assert that they will fight
the movement to finish.

Portland Mine Closed Down.

Victor, Colo, June l1.-In a blood
less assault made by $50 militiamen
and deputies, led by Adjutant General
Sherman M. Bell, on the Portland
mine, the mine was indefinitely closed,
to be reopened later on terms which
will prevent any workmen securing
work without presenting satisfactory
working cards from the Mine own
ers' association. General Bell says
the mine was closed because OF mill
tary necessity" as the men working
in it were contributing to the support
of the strikers and thereby continuing
the present conditions in the district.
His proclamation also states that dan
gerous men in the mine should be
held.

CALL BUREAU, PRESS BUILDING,
WORLDS FAIR, ST. LOUIS. July g.
The question Of a successor to E. B.
Willis, who has resigned as secretary
Of the California Louisiana Purchase
Exposition Commission. is being re-
volved in the mind Of Governor Par
dee. If the commission has its way,
Miss Pringle, its stenographer, will
perform the duties of secretary for the
remainder of the fair at some salary
far less than the 5000 monthly provid-
ed for by the statute creating the com
mission. She will, Of course, be given
an assistant at a salary still smaller
than that allowed her.
There are probably some wide awake
Californians with influence, however,
who would like to spend the next five
months at the fair and keep track of
State matters there for 5000 month

DAIRY RULES
ARE MODIFIED
Milk Dealers and Health
Board Officials Practical
ly Reach an Agreement

The dairymen and Health Board Of
ficials were again in consultation yes
terday with the Supervisors Health
Committee relative to the incorpora-
ton in an ordinance of proposed rules
and regulations for the conduct Of
dairies.
There seemed to be a better spirit
Of amity between the dairymen and
health officials and rapid headway was
made in the matter of agreeing on the
regulations. No mention was made Of
the previous threat of the dairymen
that the price of milk would be raised
If the regulations considered by them
as too drastic were put into effect.
John D. Daily, NJ. Haley and j.
Brewer registered objections to some
more of the rules and in most instances
the Health Board agreed to modifica-
ton thereof. The rule prohibiting cows
to be fed with moldy hay or decom-
posed vegetables was agreed upon with
the proviso that beet pulp may be used
as food
The dairymen strongly objected to
the rule requiring milk utensils to be
washed in a strong solution of lye and
salsoda, claiming that ii would injure
the hands Of the mixers and some Of
the solution might find it's way into the
milk The rule was changed so that
the utensils may be washed in a solu-
ton the strength of which is not speci-
fed
The rule requiring wash rooms to
have floors of wood was revised so
that the floors may be of wood. as
phalt or concrete, the health officials
agreeing to the change.
The committee decided to meet next
Saturday and consider the objections
of the dairymen and to formulate the
rules which it desires to incorporate in
the ordinance. Practically all the rules
have been agreed upon, the only ones
against which strong protests have
/ been filed being those relating TO ven
tilation, which would require the en-
tire reconstruction of the dairy build
ings.
Regarding the recommendation Of
the Health Board that the limit OF
bacteria in each cubic centimeter be
fixed at 10000, as is the case in New
York. the committee decided to have
tests made from some of the best dair-
les. Allowance will be made for the
time of transportation and the stand
ard will then be based on the tests
thus made.

isans are loyal to their city. and many
who do not need the money have hung
out 'rooms to let" signs in order that
visitors may be accommodated and sat
isfied and go away with good word
for St Louis. None of these will raise
prices.
The exposition management should
devote its utmost energies toward re-
futing these ISLANDERS, for they seem to
have gained general circulation
throughout the country. 1t can be de-
pended upon to use every endeavor to-
ward seeing that these ISLANDERS do not
become truths in future.
Governor Pardee. with Governor
Odell, was entertained by the board of
lady managers of the exposition one
night this week. The New York execu-
tive grew facetious at California's ex-
pense by saying: why, we have one
county that churns more butter than
the whole State of California produces. y
Governor Pardee turned the laughter
against him by saying that If 'Odell
tried to tell what New York didn't have
that California did he would keep the
floor all night.

of Frederick r. King and his wife
Edith Boswell King and then, share
and share alike. what remains in the
estate is to be distributed among their
children.
