COAL CREEK NINE
SHUT DOWN BY STRIKE

Florence. Sept 1.-THE Canfield
mine of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company at Coal Creek was idle Tues
day. Craddock Davis, one Of the driv-
ers. hauled out all of the coal from the
miners from whom he was driving and
was then ordered to load coal. He re-
fused to do so and was discharged.
The other drivers have taken up the
hght and all OF them refused to go to
work this morning. The company then
ordered the other employees out OF the
mine and shut down the fan. Drivers
as a general rule are not supposed to
do any work but pull the coal to the
partings and the order for Davis to
load coal was most unusual.
The trouble may cause a close down
Of the mine for a long time and throw
200 out OF employment

various features viii be on scale new
en- before attempted by an irrigation
congress For instance, n pageant is
planned for the closing night of the
session I'm which twenty beautiful floats
win take part. presenting In categorical
tabeaux the story OF irrigation In all
periods OF human history and among
all races, from the remotest antiquity
to the present time. This win form a
display of unique splendor and I'M
pressIyeness.
The electrical illumination of Sac
ramento during the Congress win sur
pass. it Is said anything of the kind
heretofore attempted in California. In
addition to the thousands of incandes-
cents festooned above the roadway of
the chief thoroughfares, there will be
at street intersections glittering en-
bloms ana irrigation scenes and sym
bols worked out in profusion of null
ti-colored lights.
But. after all. the practical results
of the congress is the chief consldera-
ton, and In order to gain such results
the delegates must be men Of expert
ence and knowledge of the problems
Of Irrigation, and only such should be
appointed.
The discussion of questions and
problems embraced within the new
national policies OF reclamation and
forestry will constitute one feature of
the serious work of the Congress.
Every phase of the subject, 1t is be-
lieved, will be treated by speakers who
have made study of the matter In its
different relations to the public well
fare and the ultimate attainment of
the objects in contemplation.

is THE BOYCOTT LEGAL?

A suit that promises to become of
national interest has been filed in a
District of Columbia court against the
American Federation OF Labor and its
otficerss to test the legality of boycott
The suit was entered by a st. Louis
firm. The petition alleges that at the
convention of the Federation of labor
at Minneapolis last year the executive
council of the federation was instructed
to place on the unfair list" the Buck
Stove and Range company. This was
done ostensibly on complaint of the
Brotherhood of Foundry Employees that
the company had Disseminated against

they belonged to the union, an allega-
ton emphatically denied. The firm
further says that the executive council

out that tho system by which these
boycotts are maintained is such that

with the federation can be brought to
