UPHOLDS AIMS
OF THE UNIONS
Professor Gray of North
western University Defends
Closed Shop and Boycott
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Professor John
H. Gray Of Northwestern University
upheld the closed shop, the sympa-
thetic strike and boycott in lecture
in the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton Auditorium this afternoon. He
disagreed with Professor Eliot of
Harvard University, who declared the
non-union man a good type of the
American hero, and said the man who
refused to join a union was the fell
low who wanted to eat his cake and
have it. too.'
DO you consider it right to pre-
vent non-union men working?" asked
a man in the audience. -. .4f..-,
IF you mean slugging, shooting or
killing him, / do not consider it right.
But it is right under certain circum-
stances to persuade him not to work,
and it is eminently proper to refuse to
work with him. Eminently proper"
Gray declared that much of the an
tagonism shown to labor unions was
the result of ignorance and that the
average union man knew great deal
more about social science and eco
nomic law than the average million
aire employer.
IF the main objects of labor unions,
which are to better the conditions of
their members, are right, and 1 hold
they are right, then it is ethically
proper to resort to the sympathetic
strike, the boycott. or the closed shop
to carry out these objects. All of
these things are purely matters of
expediency. All this talk we hear
about individual liberty is anarchy.
A man who refuses to join a union be-
cause he believes in individual liberty
is an anarchist and fails to recognize
the brotherhood of man. He fails to
recognize that he is but one Of a
class

WRECKS HOUSE

An explosion of gas in the basement
of a house at 995 Lombard street last
night about o'clock wrecked the

time. 1t was rented last Friday to
Paul Overmohle, a driver The new
tenant moved his furniture into the
place Saturday. He notified the gas
company to turn on the illuminating
fluid. but reckoned not on the procras-
tinating proclivities of the gas man.
Last night, finding that the servant
of the light trust had not yet put in
an appearance, Overmohle thought he
would turn on the gas himself. Armed
with a candle the tenant wended his
way to the basement. He turned on
something-of that he is sure.
Last night Overmohle again visited
the house He smelled gas. Tracing
the odor Of nitrous oxide to the base
ment, he lit match. There was a ter
rife explosion. The frightened man
was thrown twenty feet, landing
against the wall. The gas burst into
flames, burning him seriously about the
head and arms. All of his hair was
consumed. Every window In the house,
up stairs and down, was blown out.
The easements and doors were
wrecked and the front wall was blown
out of plumb. The damage will amount
to about $4,000.
The building is owned by Thomas G..
Jacques of 1898 Lombard street.
Overmohle was taken to friends

Interesting Class Drill

At the. general teachers meeting
yesterday afternoon. Miss Helen A.
Dewey, principal of the Lowell build
ing. gave a class. drill in first grade
language work. The. 6-year-olds, at
given signal. ran about the room,
one in one direction, one in another,
One jumped a rope. another waved
a flag, a third took a bite of sugar,
and so on. AS Miss Dewey called
upon the different ones by name,
they responded with statement of
what the had done. For example:
| jumped rope; l waved a flag; |
took a bite of sugar, etc, If mis-
take in language was made, the
teacher gave the correct form of ex-
preston.
While the boys and girls were well
disciplined, they displayed a happy
freedom that was refreshing. Ian
guage learned by action makes
strong and lasting impression upon
small children.
Miss Dewey also gave a drill in
correct forms of expression, as. saw
her; | have seen him; 1t is I; 1t wa3
she; 1t is he. etc. Without calling
attention to the wrong form, this
drill emphasized the right form.
Diacriucal marking of words in
spelling was discussed. This is
valuable aid to an intelligent use of
the dictionary, and It was the pre-
vailing opinion that the diacritical
marks should be used from the first
to the eighth grade in elusive in or
der to obtain the most satisfactory
results.
A small portion of time was de-
voted to the subject OF drawing in
the grades.

What the Factory Did

The record of the beet sugar fac
tory at this place this year is two
and one-half times that of the three
previous seasons combined. In other
words, 10000 tons of beets were
treated, yielding 66,OOO bags of SUI
gar. At the rate of Sc per bag.
which was the average price the fac
tories secured. the gross production
was sSs6,OOO.
In an interview at Colorado
Springs few days ago r. p. Davie,
manager of the factory, stated that
the company had contracted with the
farmers of the Grand valley for g.
900 acres of beets for next season.
The factory is now capable of turn
ing out 800 tons daily. but next year
the capacity will be coo tons daily.
The Grand Junction beet sugar fac
tory is now on a most substantial
basis.
Mr.. Davie, who is now in Colorado
Springs, will leave in few days for
California to join his family and
spend some weeks on the coast.
Werner 2. Reed. whose presence
in the city was announced yesterday,
is one of the largest stockholders in
the sugar factory and has other ex-
tensive interests in this section. 1t
is stated on good authority that he
is here to close several important
deals that mean large investment
of capital. In this connection 1t is
understood that Mr.. Reed not only
represents local and eastern capital
but is placing French capital in the
field. He recently returned from
two years residence abroad, and
while in France made important
financial connections that will doubt
less be represented numerous Col
orado enterprises. Mr.. Reed will re-
main in the city until the middle of

Larger Audience Needed

Last night at the entertainment
Rev. Becker. manager of the Grand
Junction Lyceum Course, stated that
owing to the fact that nearly every
attraction this season had appeared
on a disagreeable night, the door re-
ceipts usually realized from the sale
of extra admission tickets had fallen
considerably lower than the average.
He urged that the season ticket hold
ers bring as many friends out as pos
sible on the appearance of the two
remaining numbers to prevent a de-
felt at the end of the season. A
most liberal support in this manner
should be accorded the two remain
ing attractions. The admission price
is very low for entertainments of
such high class.

date of the w. j. Clark scientific lee
ture was March 6, as q result of
change made in the route of the

ganization was booked to appear

cured later in the season. 1t was

received telegram from Monclova

gence of the death of her son, VIII

stated that hemorrhage caused
death at 1850 o'clock this morning.
The news came as a terrible shocl.
TO the aged mother, who thought
that her son was enjoying the best of
health. Mr., Smith expected to re-
turn to Grand Junction on a visit TO
his mother, who has not seen him
for ten years, about May l and was
making all his plans in accordance
with that expectation, and the moth
er was looking forward with happy
anticipation to the visit.

IL ALarge Audience

The Congregational church wa.
> well filed last night by the regular
patrons of the lecture course and
holders CT single admission tickets
The attraction was the Nellie Peck
Saunders Concert Company, and it
proved one of the most popular num-
bers the managers of the course have
offered their patrons.
The organization is composed of
Mrs. Nellie Peck Saunders, reader:
Miss Edna Earle Crum. violinist:
Elizabeth Eidt, pianist. and Allen
Campbell, baritone. Each is an art
list.
J. The program was mastery one,
and every number brought forth the
richest applause and the encores were
many The big audience showed but
little favoritism, the work of every
member of the company meeting the
sincerest approval.
| Mrs. Saunders is very talented
reader-one of the best heard here
in some time. She has a most at
ractive voice and charming stage
presence. As an impersonator she
is very clever, Her first reading was
one of Mark Twain's beautiful short
stories, in which pathos and humor
are blended. In this number Mrs.
Saunders was hardly as good as in
her other selections. The proposal
scene from Cape Cod Folks" was
most delightful. The reading given
from THE Sign of the Cross"
involving the scene where Marcia
refuses TO renounce her God and live
and where Markus. her lover, un-
able to persuade her to live. dies with
her, brought out Mrs. Saunders
splendid dramatic ability. Her inter-
probation of this great scene was per-
feet. The reading from Seven Oaks"
hugely pleased the audience. The
lullaby, given as an encore, to the |
OF the piano and vio-
lin, was touchingly beautiful.
The story of the mustard plaster |
Mrs Saunders last number, was
great and kept the crowd in con-
pretty reader gave another demon
stration of her marvellous power as
an impersonator in a scene where
an arab of the street acted as med
iator between two estranged lovers,
employing the youngsters curt slang.
No number was better received.
Edna Earle Crum, the violinist, is
an. artist of the highest accomplish
ments. Her mastery of the violin
is marvellous. In every number she
electrified the audience. Mendels-
shon's "Andante and Finale" from
.Zigeunerweisen." the gypsy melo-
dies by Sarasate. proved very popu-
lar with the audience and was ex-
quisitely rendered by the handsome
young yiolinist. The encores were
equally as delightful.
THE Sailors Song" Allen Camp
bells opening number, was most
difficult selection and very beautiful.
The quality of Mr.. Campbell's voice
was at once recognized. In response
to the hearty applause, Mr.. Campbell
sang Robert Burns grand old ballad,
MY Love is Like the Red, Red
Rose" The old song was never bet
ter, interpreted. His second num-
Der was superb. and the encore, ''The
Goodnight Song" was most charm
ing.
The company is strengthened by
a most talented pianist and accom-
panist in the person of Miss Eidt.
She is a musician of the highest rank.
Eevery body was thoroughly
pleased with the Nellie Peck Saun-
ders company and the managers of
the course made no mistake in Sc
curing the attraction for the seasons
course.
