MINERS MEETING CLOSES
The Federation Agreed to Affiliate
With Neither Faction of
Industrial Workers

Denver, Colo, July 4.-The conven-
ton Of the Western Federation OF
Miners adjourned sine die yesterday
afternoon after a session lasting from
June 10. Denver was chosen for the
next meeting place, and it was decided
to retain the Federation headquarters
here. Butte was the only competitor
for the next convention, Bisbee, Ariz,
Tonopah, New. and Douglas City,
Alaska, being withdrawn. Denver won,
222 to ia for Butte. At the afternoon
session the new officers were sworn In
and it was decided TO assess every mem.
Der Of the Federation 81 to apply to the
Meyer Haywood defense fund. This
will raise approximately $4,000.
The main issue before the convention
Just closed. aud the one most bitterly
fought, was the question Of e.affiliation
with the Industrial Workers Of the
World, Of which the Federation is
theoretically the mining department,
but to which the embers only nomin.
ally belong because OF the trouble at
the last Industrial Workers convention.
The delegates agreed to affiliate with
neither faction of the Industrial
Workers until they settle their diff
ferences.
The Federation issued au invitation
to both factions of the workers to send
delegates TO convention to be held IN
Chicago October l to meet with dele
gates from the Western Federation. the
Brewery Workers OF America, which
recently left the American Federation
OF Labor, and other organizations, for
the purpose Of forming a new national
labor union.
Another important matter adopted by
fhe Federation convention was new
preamble to the constitution. which
practically pledges the Federation to
Socialism. Both Meyer and Haywood
were retained in Office as president and
secretary treasurer, respectively, al
tnoueh both are under indictment for
the murder of former Governor Steunen-
berg Of Idaho.

Every man doing business in any

will examine it all over. read every
thing. advertisements and all; count

shops, grocery stores, dry goods stores

hardware stores, ETC., there are, and he

formed of such a town is not very
fiattering one. BY advertising in their
local paper the merchants gain double

Rule Of Court in Way Of Early Hear
ing of Auto Case.

Ing OF AUTO case.
The application of ]. A. Lutz. through
Attorney G. L. Baker. to have his appeal
case advanced on the calendar of the Mary
land appeal court was refused yesterday
by States Attorney Robert B. Peter OF
Rockville. This action has disappointed
scores Of enthusiastic autoists. who desire
to have an early decision on the issues In
volyed.
Mr.. Lutz was recently arrested at Glen
Echo and fined $50 on a charge Of exceeding
the speed law. He took an appeal to the
circuit court and the case has been dock
eted for trial at the November term.
Attorney Baker, when asked by a Star
reporter today regarding the status of the
case, said:
ut is true that Mr.. Leckie and had a
conference with the prosecuting attorney at
Rockville for the purpose of advancing the
Lutz case for trial. if possible. to a date
earlier than the regular term Of the court
in November. 1t seems, however. that the
rules Of court provide that the case shall
be heard at the regular term, and 1t will
be impossible, therefore. to advance the
case. although the states attorney and
Mayor Garrett expressed their willingness
to cooperate with us.
This does not mean. however. that there
will be no adjudication Of the matter in
controversy before November. We are pre-
pairing to take steps now to secure earlier
action in another direction, and within the
next week will seek to bring this matter
before the courts in such a way as will
necessitate an immediate hearing.
The appeal in the Lutz case seems to
have dampened the ardor of Marshal Col
Inns and Mayor Garrett to such an extent
that their activities are less pronounced. I
have heard Of no recent arrests on the Con-
dut road, although automobilists are still
using 1t as formerly. 1t may be Mayor

of bringing about clash between himself
