WILL HOLD MEETING TO DECIDE
UPON DEMAND FOR TWO CENT
CENT RAISE IN WAGES.
SITUATION IS SERIOUS
UNLESS AGREEMENT IS SOON
REACHED EVERY ROAD IN
COLORADO MAY BE
TIED UP.

Denver-Whether a general strike
shall be called on the Denver & Rio
Grande system will be determined
at a meeting of the general grievA
lnce committee of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen employed on that
system and the company officials. Mem
bers of the general committee from
along the line are en- route to Denver
to attend this conference. at which the
question of two-cent differential over
the Chicago scale OF wages for switch
men will be discussed.
Should the Denver & Rio Grande re-
fuse to grant the increase, a general
strike will be called Immediately. II
the demands Of the men are granted,
the strike on the Colorado & Southern
will prove a victory for the strikers, as
all the roads will find 1t convenient to
follow the lead of the Denver & Rio
Grande.
Grand Master Morrissey refused to
discuss the question, and maintained
his usual policy Of absolute silence.
When word was received that the In
terstate Commerce Commission had
failed in its efforts to effect recon-
Citation, the strikers began to talk i'm
mediately of extending the strike.
The demand made upon the Colorado
& Southern was the same as that made
upon all the roads west of Denver, but
q strike was declared on that line be-
cause Vice President Parker abso-
lutely refused to grant the increase.
while the other railroad officials
pleaded for delay. The strikers real
lie now that crucial time has arrived
and say they will enforce their demand
upon all the Western railroads without
further postponement.
General Manager Ridgway of the
Denver & Rio Grande, who conducted
the meetings with the brotherhood
several months ago, when a strike was
threatened, is on the Pacific coast re-
cuperating from an attack of appen-
dicitis. The men will be able to meet
also Vice President Schlacks and Cen
eral Superintendent Welby. both of
whom are in the city.

One striking evidence of the meth

A Generous Thief.

Trinidad, Colo.-While the master OF
the house was away herding his sheep
and the family was attending a fu-
neral, the home of Francisco Bigil was
broken into and $3.50 in greenbacks car
ried away.
A singular feature Of the robbery is
that the thief took only the amount
named from roll of bills containing
$4,000, which was hidden in trunk.
The chief of police here was noti-
fed and a search was instituted.
Bloodhounds were taken to the house
and the dogs took up the scent at once
and went directly to the home of a
relative Of Bigil. Suspicion lodges on
a woman, but no arrests have been
made.

She was not able to do her work and

pains that she would have to lie down
for the rest Of the day.
"At last I persuaded her to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she did 80 and has used
Postum ever since; the result has been
that she can now do her work, can

wave OF sentiment in its favor. Corn.
by the way. is the favorite son Of
Indiana. nominated to the first place
in the nation by the Hoosier public

The Government Fails.

Washington.-The national govern
ment has failed as peacemaker in
the strike of switchmen on the Colo
RADIO & Southern railroad, and Labor
Commissioner Charles P. Neil an
nounced that all hope had been
abandoned of bringing about salts

ferences between the railroad
company and it'll striking en-
ployes. Mr.. Neill. with Chairman
Knapp of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, undertook to act as me-
diator at the request of Vice President

who declared that in calling the strike,

Telegraph Operators Walk Out.
Chicago.-The strike Of the tele-
graph operators has come. The trou-
Bile was precipitated by the Los An
geles strike which was begun some
days ago.
The local executive board Of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union met
and passed resolutions requesting the
men to refuse to work with the nom
union operators employed in Los An
geles. When the men were notified
Of this step, all operators employed IN
the overland division OF the local OIL
fee refused to work any longer with
the non-union men on the other end OF
the wire.
When this announcement was made,
Night Chief Harry Price ordered all
who refused to work to leave the Of
fee. He then went into other divis-
ions and requested the men to go into
the overland division. In every case
he was met with a refusal until over
seventy men had been sent home. The
grievance committee Of the union called
on Price and notified him that unless ev-
cry man was reinstated by midnight
every union man In the ONCE would
be called out.
This demand was refused and
promptly at midnight by pre-arrange-
ment, q whistle was blown, and every
operator employed in the main Office
with the exception Of six wire and loop
chiefs. including Night Manager Price
and his two assistants, left their keys
and with a round of cheers filed sout

The men employed by the company
at the various newspapers had been

they also quit work

that the day force employed by the
company. most of whom belong to the
union, wcaid refuse to go to work in
the morning. This will also include
all branch ofaces throughout the city.
