Plant for Temperins Copper.

IT believe that we are assured of
sufficient capital to establish a plant
for the tempering of copper and that
we will be enabled to file our articles
of incorporation of the Colorado Tenn
pered Metal Manufacturing Company
within a month";" said David Lamon,
who claims to be the discoverer of the
lost art of hardening copper.
Mr.. Lamon said that already SIS 900
of the $25, 900 desired had been secured
and that several capitalists had signi-
fed their intention OF investing in
scheme that may revolutionize the
metals industry of the world.
In June, last, Mr.. Lamon, Denver
jeweler, discovered a process, cheap
and simple, of tempering metals. Cop
per was tempered to the hardness of
steel by the ancients, but the art was
lost in the ages gone by until Mr.. La
mon stumbled onto the scheme. He
himself says that his process may be
different from that of the ancient
Egyptians, but it amounts to the
same thing, which is practically max
ing new metal out of copper.
1t is proposed to erect five-ton per
day copper wire plant as a starter, and
it is estimated that such plant will
cost little more than $4,000, and this
plant will be added to until all metals
are tempered. 1t is also proposed to
temper gold SO that the government
need not use alloy in its coin to pre-
vent them from wearing away. The
copper and silver tempered by the La
mon process has the hardness of steel
and 1t loses none of its conductivity
and durability by the process.
Copper thus tempered is proposed for
rims of locomotive wheels. in automo-
biles and in all places where steel is
now used exclusively. Copper is far
more desirable, but its softness has
prevented its universal use. but by
the use of the Lamon process it is
claimed that 1t becomes as hard as
steel and is, therefore, ready for the
uses for which 1t is so well suited
1t Is proposed to use in the Denver
plant either pig copper or copper mat.
which is easily secured. The Lamon
process is pronounced simple and in
expensive and 1t is the belief OF Mr..
Lamon and those associated with him
that there can be built in Denver one
of the greatest manufacturing plants
in the world. Those interested with
Mr.. Lamon are confident that he has
made the greatest discovery Of the age
and that it is destined to revolutionize
the metals industry-Denver Republic
can.

BATTLE WITH STRIKERS.
Striking Coal Miners Assault Illinois
Militia.

Benton, ILL.,. Nov. 29.-Zeigler was
fired upon last night from sundown to
daylight. 1t is estimated that no less
than 500 shots were fired at the town
The town was completely surrounded
and the firing came from every quar-
ter. Response to this fusilade was
made by four Gatling guns placed at
various points about the mine build
ings.
Assistant Adjutant General Reece
and the Carbondale militia company
arrived in Zeigler to-day and General
Reece will remain several days to in
vestigate the situation. 1t is thought
that still more troops will be brought.
Joseph Letter reached Zeigler today
with more miners from Chicago.
Examination of the ground this
morning showed that the men who
were firing have powerful guns. They
were stationed from one-half to three
quarters of mile from the town. AL
most bushel Of empty shells of every
size and manufacture were found in
the woods. A trail of blood was found
on rail fence and from this it is sup
posed that at least one person was
wounded.
Further trouble is anticipated.

OPEN SHOP IDEA
is ADVOCATED BY EMPLOYERS
Address of President Parry of the citi-
zens' Industrial Association at
MEETING in New York.

New York, Nov. 30.-Members of the
Citizens Industrial Association, repre-
senting all sections of the country, were
present when the second annual con-
vention of tie organization opened
here yesterday.
1t is the aim of the convention to
bring about a complete organization OF
manufacturers, business men and all
large employers of labor and to advo-
cate the open shop" idea. All en-
ployers not affiliated with the associa-
tion were invited to attend the conven-
ton.
President David M. Parry, in his an
nual address. reviewed the growth of
the open shop" movement and said
that within year 1000 factories have
opened their doors to workmen, with
out regard to their membership in
unions.
IF trades unionism should become
dominant in this country, l have not
the slightest doubt that our industries
would languish and our streets would
be filed with idle men. No other re-
suits could possibly come from a sys-
TEN that would base the reward of la
Dor not on merit, but on the power of
organization to dictate terms, a sys-
age enterprise and permit the indolent
and least efficient to set the pace for
industry. Can present-day unionism
become dominant in this country?
1T is my belief that if you would
like to see organized labor obtain a
controlling power over industrial and
public affairs, all that you need do is
to fold your hands and let the unions
work their will. Under the do-noth-
ing policy of the employers, up until
few years ago, the growth Of union
ism was magical. Finally, with sew
eral millions of workers back of them,
and flushed with victory because of sue
cess in a number of strikes, the lead
ers assumed a dictatorial attitude to-
ward Congress and local authorities.
At that time it seemed as though pub
lie opinion was ready to sanction any
demands that the strike bosses chose to
make, and but scant hearing was given
to the employers side of any contro-
versy, no matter how automatically
expressed
Il believe that this was a critical
time in the history of our country, and
had the employers not abandoned the
let-alone policy. we should to-day be
facing very different condition of af-
fairs from that now confronting us. We
should, perhaps, have the eight-hour
and anti-injunction bills on the statute
books and the principle of preference
to unionists in employment, or, in
other words, the national closed shop
would more than likely be in fair way
of adoption"
Mr.. Parry laid special stress on the
educational feature of the work of the
Citizens Industrial Association. He
said the association has made marvel
Gus progress in the first year of its or
ganization and that it was certain to
become one of the most powerful and
influential forces for good to be found
in the world.

W.C.T.U. MEETING
CONVENTION AT PHILADELPHIA

Five Hundred Delegates In Attend
ance.-Interesting Report Of Mrs.
Lillian Stephens, President.
Philadelphia, Nov. 30.-The thirty
first annual convention OF the National
Women's Christian Temperance Union
began here yesterday. The union num-
bers more than 10000 members and in
cludes in its ranks members of every
Christian denomination.
Five hundred delegates from every
state and territory in the Union are in
attendance at the convention. Presi-
dents of representative women's union
clubs will be invited to make addresses
during the convention and many we'll
known clergymen and educators will
join the speakers. Representatives
from numerous charitable and social
improvement societies will also address
the meeting.
The chief feature of yesterdays pro-
gram was the annual address Of Mrs.
Lillian M. N. Stevens of Portland,
Maine. president of the organization.
Mrs. Stevens has failed to attend but
one convention in thirty years and at
that time she was kept at home by i'll
ness.
Mrs. Stevens in her address made the
following recommendations:
Il recommend that we continue to
make vigorous effort for the enact
ment by Congress of the Hepburn-Dol-
liver bill to control the interstate traf-
fic of Intoxicating liquors and for the
passage of the McCumber bill forbid
ding liquor selling in government
buildings; this bill seeks to suppress
liquor selling at the national soldiers
homes.
ALSO the bill to prohibit the traffic in
opium except for medicinal purposes in
the entire jurisdiction of the United
States and for the provision of govern
ment treatment for the habitual vic
tins of this drug November 8th We
sent from the national headquarters a
petition to Secretary Hay to use his
diplomatic influence to induce Great
Britain to release China from the en-
forced opium traffic. which we believe
to be contrary to the sentiment of the
British people and to the real interest
of British commerce.
ALSO for the exclusion of Senator
Smoot from the United States Senate
and an anti-polygamy amendment to
the constitution OF the United States.
vention an appeal to President Roose-
velt begging that the sale of liquor for
beverage purposes be prohibited in the
Panama district now under control OF
the United States.
For the states not having pro-
hibitory law to endeavor to secure the
enactment of a law prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating liquors within radius
OF three miles from all army posts or
government reservations.
That the various states shall work
for law prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of cigarettes; also for a law
prohibiting the sale to minors OF to-
bacco in any form.
I'VE must continue our protest
against the union of Indian Territory
and Oklahoma Territory as one state
unless the sale of intoxicants Is pro-
hibited This protest is in accordance
with the memorial of the National w.
