THEY GET THE RAISE
and Pipe Meu of Crane
Junction, on ID. II. G. get
Raise.

Five hundred machinists and pipe
men on the Rio Grande have been
granted an increase in wages of ?
and 8 cents per hour, nine-hour day
and time and one-half for overtime
after the expiration of nine hours.
The increase affects the entire sys-
TEN and satisfactorily closes nego-
tiations TO both sides. after months
of effort to reach a settlement.
The average pay per hour was 80
cents, but hereafter the machinists
and pipemen in Denver will receive
81 cents. Pueblo and Salida men will
get 3S cents per hour, while all other
Colorado points on the road, includ-
ing Grand Junction, will pay at the
rate of 80 cents.
The accent rate will also be in eff
feet at all points west of Salt Lake
and ogden. other outside points in
Utah will pay 40 cents.
The dinerential is based on the diff
ference in the cost of living at the
various points. The rates in Utah
have always been higher than in
Colorado.
One hundred men will be affect
ed by the increase in Denver. Many
of the men who were laid off about
month ago on account of the pol
icy of retrenching adopted at that
time are gradually being re-employ-
ed
The negotiations for the change
Of schedule began in November. and
the increase will date from Dec. 81.
Machinists' helpers will not be af-
fected by the change in schedule, and
their wages will remain the same

know that they are getting the good
article. At the same time another
always menaciug danger to the fruit
grower. the danger Of a shortage OF
boxes, Will be eliminated as far as
this company is concerned. The
company proposes to own and operate
its own saw mills. buy its own tim
Der and keep a great supply of box
es constantly on hand. This Is cas-
lily one of the strongest features OF
the new corporation.
A Jobbing Business.
The new company proposes to do
a general jobbing business through
out this section OF the state. Full lin
es of the particular classes of mer-
chandise usually handled by such
concerns will be kept up and the com
pany will go after share of the
business of the Grand Junction deal
ers as well as the dealers of the
surrounding towns. Only com
petent men will be in charge Of this
department and the jobbing business
speciaIties. An extensive jobbing bust
will be one of the company's strongest
Departments and no doubt the bust
ness will probably be built up right
from the start.
Big stocks of supplies for the fruit
growers will be handled at all times
by the company and this end of the
business will be kept right up to the
demands.

Boone, July 29.-Doomed to death by
its father, there lies in poor pine box
in new made grave near Berkiey, the
body of an infant. It's death is anoth-
err and most terrible chapter in the long
series of SORROWS brought upon respec-
table and well-to-do people by the
character Of the man.
The body of this mite Of humanity,
predestined to death by Its sire. fills
this grave because Myron Bennett re-
fused to provide his wife with medical
care of any kind, with not even the at
tendance of one of her own sex. during
the birth of the child last Thursday.
Small chance for life had the babe,
and 1t did not live. The tale of shame
and suffering does not end here. for
the infants mother lies in the farm
home in a precarious condition. She
has. however medical attendance since
and may recover.
Bennett is said to be a brother of a
former Des Moines lawyer. now located
in Denver, and man of the best re-
pute and ability.
County Attorney Cedarauist has been
notified of the circumstances attend
ing the death of the infant. He says
the case is one of inhuman brutality,
but that there is no crime involved un-
less murderous intent could be shown,
and that this could hardly be done III
the given circumstances.
