HOUR DAY AND CLOSED
SHOP DEMAND.

New York, jan 3-One thousane
printers vent on strike here during
the day in support OF a demand for the
eight-hour day and thirty-two printing
shops declared lockout against theiI
employees. The strikers Immediately
placed pickets in the vicinity of ali
shops where the lockout was declared
and three halls were secured by Typo
graphical union No. 6 to accommodate
the men on strike who wish to- make
their headquarters in these places
The strike was begun without disor

closed shop principle demanded by
the union. The opponents of the union
were printing offices belonging to the
United Typothetae, which had been
making preparations for the strike for
several months.

SUICIDE SUSPECTED.
Mysterious Death Of Fourteen-Year.
Old CHICAGO Boy.

Old Chicago Boy.
Chicago, Jan. 3.-Earl Dean, four.
teen years old, was found dead in the
kitchen of his mothers fat in Hyde
Park. The boys head and shoulders
rested on a pillow in the oven of a
gas range, with the unlighted gas es.
Gaping from the burners under it. His
hands were tied behind him and his
feet were bound with one Of his
mothers aprons. A handkerchief was
knotted loosely about his neck.
The fact that the youth was bound
and that the back door of the fiat, in
which he was alone, was unlocked
gave rise to a strong suspicion of
murder. Nothing in the rooms, how.
ever, had been touched. Furthermore,
the placing of the cushion beneath
the lads head was taken as evidence
of preparation for taking his own life,
precaution that probably no MUIR
derer would have taken.

THE BID WITHDRAWN.

The Ramey-UdloclS Investment CO.,
this afternoon served Mayor Bunt-
ing with notice that they withdrew
their bid of par for the municipal
bonds of the city of Grand Junction,
voted for erection of the proposed
wateTworks system.
The reason stated in their writ
ten Withdrawal of the bid is that their
attorney had advised them nd-
versely upon the bonds.
The statement of the Ramcy-Ud-
lock people is perhaps not to he doubt
ed that their attorney did advise them
adversely upon the bonds, but the
council assigns another reason for the
Withdrawal of the bid for the bonds
The bid originally was made subject
to the approval of their attorney and
of course they have the right to sur
render.
Surrender of the forfeit of $4,000
has not been made.

HUNDREDS ARE HERE
Beet Growers, Over Seven Hundred
Strong Sweep Down on Grand
JunctiOn-Entertain
by Sugar Company.

This is Sugar Beet Growers Day
in Gran Junction. It is the second
or third occasion of its kind in the
history of the local factory.
The Western Sugar and Land Co.
has inaugurated the custom of invlt-
ing the growers who furnish beets
to the factory to visit Grand June
tion once each year as the guests of
the company.
This year they responded to the
Invitations most generally and en-
Enthusiastically and today there are
over seven hundred beet growers In
Grand Junction and they represent
every portion Of the large territory
covered by the local factory.
Two special trains arrived in the
city shortly before noon. One came
from up the Montrose line bringing
the growers from various points iu
that country. Montrose. Delta, Olathe
Hotchkiss. ettc., The second special
train came over the Rio Grande from
Garfield county starting at Glenwood
and it too was crowded to the guards
with growers.
The two trains brought in about
six hundred people and probably one
hundred and fifty growers of Mesa
county came in from their ranches
this morning.
Assistant Manager Holmes states
that the factory was simply turned
over to them for today and they have
been permitted to visit every portion
of the big plant, which is in constant
operation so that they may see how
the product of the beet fields is hand
led and through what process the beet
goes in its trip to the sugar bag.
The growers and their famiIiec
greatly enjoyed their trips through
the factory.
At noon dinner was served at the
factory to the growers through the
courtesy of the company. The ladies
of st. Matthews guild served the din
ner.
This afternoon the visitors have
Ihronged the business houses and
visited places of interest throughout
the city They are enjoying their
visit hugely. Many desired to re-
main over until a late hour tonight
in order to take in the show but
the trains will go out on the fixed
schedule late this afternoon.
The growers are typical Colorado
farmers and ranchmen Good solid
Industrious, tillers of the
soil, the bone and sinew of Colorado's
prosperity.
1t is pleasure to have them visit
the city. This plan of the sugar com
pany to keep up cordial relations
between the growers and the factory,
and 10 show him how the haats are
treated Is an excellent one.
