COSTLY WAR,

Golfers Weekly thus comments on
Oolorado's industrial war.
"a struggle between organized
labor and organized capital, which
has cost some $50. 600, 900, kept 35'-
900 men idle for months, increased
the state national guard from $50
men to 5000, and been the cause of
80 murders, in addition to many other
crimes.
"In the grim tenacity of purpose,
in the methods employed, in the num-
Der enlisted on both sides in proper
ton to the population of the state
and in the appalling cost, both in life
and property, the industrial var now
going on in Colorado is one of the
most far-reaching ever recorded in
the labor history of the world
"Thirty five thousand workmen idle
on an average of five months each;
1000, 900 working days lost; 10000
000-a low estimate-as a wage loss;
$50, 900, 00O-conservative estimate
loss from direct damage and non
production; $500, 600 cost of national
guard ordered to three different
parts of the state within nine months
for the protection of life and prop

And this in a state where the tota.
assessed valuation is less than $3.50,

DECISION By JUDGE RAMSAY
Interesting Legal Contention Over
Absorption of Interurban
Company.

In the circuit court this morning
Judge +. ID. Ramsay gave a decision
ruling rbe defendants to answer ~
the amended bin Of the complainants
IN the suit in chancery OF Francis Y.
Keator and L p Hord against the
Moline. East Moline q WATERFOWL
Interurgan Railway company. now
known a. the Mississippi Valley Trac-
ton company.
The demurrer Of the defense To the
original bill was sustained. wherenpOn
granted permission 10 file an amended
bill. To this the defendants dcmuF-
red also. but the court holds tina: the
latter must answer. This litigation is
one wherein the promoters OF the in
terurban operating ont of Moline are
seeking the restoration OF rights that
they aver they enjoyed before the aD-
sorptiOn OF the original company by
the Mississippi Valley Traction COM
pany.
>uy- "a - % Game of Freeze out.
They claim 20 have been stockhold-
ers in the original company. and as
such should have been consulted in
regard TO the purpose TO reorganize
under the name OF the Mississippi
Valley Traction company. but which
consideration they claim they were
denied. They charge that the whole
move was conceived with the intention
OF freezing them out. and that thus
far the defendants have succeeded in
doing so. The defense is that Messrs
Keator and Hord have been fully COM
pensated for whatever services they
rendered the company in the capacity
of promoters. and that it was never
intended that they should have an ex-
ecutive voice in the operation of the
cumpany's enterprise. \ number OF
attorneys has been retained by each
side. and IL Is understood there is To-
be an interesting battle waged.
