ALL CONTRACTS
NULL AND VOID
Western Federation of Miners
Passes Resolution Sure to
Breed Trouble.

Denver, June 19-The convention of
the Western Federation of Miners con-
tinued TODAY the discussion OF the amend
ment to the constitution prohibiting the
local unions from making labor contracts
with the operators There was a bitter
controversy between the conservatives,
who oppose the amendment and the rad
icals
Many locals have contracts with the
operators, the Butte union having one for
five years If the amendment should
finally prevail and become a part of the
constitution after a referendum vote all
these contracts would have to be rescind-
ed and much confusion would prevail
The discussion developed over a reso-
luton introduced by Delegate Robert
Randall of Goldfield union No. go. The
resolution reads as follows:
Text of Resolution.
Contracts entered into with the en-
ploying classes are of benefit only to the
former. Such contracts divide the work
ers in their struggle with the exploiters;
change one body of workers in Subiec-
ton, while war is being waged upon an
other body; often cOmpelS one union tC
scab upon another union; destroys the
class instinct of the workers by a false
sense of temporary security to cease TAX
ing an active interest in the affairs o1
their organization. while such contracts
are in force and have absolutely no place
in a progressive labor organization
Therefore be it
Resolved, by the fifteenth annual con.
ventiOn of the Western Federation Of
Miners that any and all signed contracts
or verbal agreements for any specified
length of time that may have been en-
tered into between any local union oil
unions of the Western Federation o.
Miners are by this convention declared

Situation in Montana.

Commissioner Lane has received from
b. T. StauntOn, chairman of the rail-
road commission of Montana. circular
which the commission has issued respect
ing an investigation into the subject of
the coal supply now i'm sight and to ne
available for the use of the citizens OF
Montana during the winter months of 1851
and 1868. The inquiry shows that coal
shortage exceeding that of the past win
ter is not only possible but probable. I'M
less steps are taken to avert it. and the
commission advises the people to put in
their supplies of coal at the earliest posi-
bic date.
Commissioner Lane has been advised
that the city of Los Angeles. Cal. has
made arrangements to put in n full sup
ply of coal during the early summer
months, and he has learned that he rail-
roads of the west and northwest are plac-
ing at their various supply depots all the
coal they can store conveniently.

TRACKS FREE FROM WEEDS.
New Burner Employed on a Western
Railway.
rom the Kansas City Star.

FROM the Kansas City Star.
Keeping the right of way on dirt-ballasted
tracks free from weeds is a problem that
has vexed railroad officials for years. To
keep the weeds down with scythes and
shovels requires a large force of men at
work all during the weed-growing season.
The Union Pacific has built a gasoline
weed burner which is doing the work very
successfully at moderate cost. The gaso-
line weed burner Is In reality an automo-
bile mounted railroad car wheels and
equipped with the weed-burning apparatus.
The car carries the fuel for the burners
well as for its own power and its operation
easy job for one man to handle the ma
chine. In fact In nice weather q trip
through the country on the weed burner is
a very pleasant ride.
Attached to the car are a number of tanks
carrying the supply of gasoline sufficient
for the days run on the road The gasoline
Is forced into G system of burners carried
on the back of the car. making a very hot

the weeds
The machine Is capable of burning from
twenty to twenty-five miles a day. running
about three to four miles an hour Three
men compose the crew of the car. which
is handled on the road under orders "A
regular train.
Where weeds are cut by hand II requires
approximately sixteen men to cut one mile
OF track per day. hence the machine does
the work of about 300 men.

Harriet Cheever always received In her
library Her house was large and impos-
ing and full Of the evidences of Frederick
Cheevers wealth and extravaganza. but
the old library was Harriet's delight: 1t was
rare for her to use the beautiful drawing
room or the ballroom beyond for anything
but formal occasions. 1t was said that the
library expressed her tastes and her per-
sonality; and. In a way. 1t did. from the
long rows Of old and rare volumes that
lined the low book-shelves to the dainty
tea table with its fve-armed candelabrum
and its old Inexperienced tea kettle. A
few roses filled the air with sweetness.
and. on cold days. a cheerful fire cracked
in the huge fireplace. which nearly filled
one end of the room. The very atmosphere
of the place suggested the refinement of
luxury and art.
A beautiful woman could scarcely ask for
q finer background and Harriet Cheever
was not, beautiful, simply charming and
wise in the worlds ways; a hostess whom
every one sought and a social authority;
where Mrs. Frederick Cheever led society
usually followed.
1t was 5 O'Clock on Thursday and she
was ensconced behind her tea table. with
young Mrs. Jerome on her right and pretty
Molly Lane on her left.
k Molly the irrepressibie was gay and per-
sistent For my part 1 insist that she is
beautiful" she declared.
1T is more subtle than that" remarked
her hostess thoughtfully, wasn't II Cath

of the best of us lay in the eyes of the
man who looked at us?'
But who is she?' asked Mrs Jerome:

and I'm completely In the dark
ASK me something easier" said Molly
Lane, with a shrug of her pretty shoulders,
"or ask Harriet. Harriet knows every
thing: Harriet Is Delph!c oracle and a
Dalai Llama all in one"
But I really do not know" protested
Harriet Cheever smiling.
Molly raised her eyes to heaven. "Imag-

asked interestedly.

months: shall not make you any other
allowance. Cab hire and theater tickets I
shall pay for; outside Of those I snail ex-
pect you to pay your own way. You
needn't go into bridge unless you are lucky
and can afford it out Of your own
pocket"
Mary experienced some singular sensa-
tons: May Hadding had the three hundred
in Paris and Mary Lang's own allowance
was the meager interest of a few thousand
dollars, her sole property, and she had
been forced to draw somewhat heavily on
that to meet the expenses that May would
not pay.
Meanwhile Mrs. whiting rang for a
maid to show Miss Hadding her room. Il

, dress. but as you have Just arrived you need
/ not put on an evening gown tonight I do
| not expect company"
Thus dismissed, Mary followed the maid
| upstairs to the next floor, where the bed
rooms opened on large circular hall. and
she could look over the baluster and see
the beautiful hall below. with its tall palms
and exotics. The servant turned to the
right and opened a door into an apart
ment that was already cheerfully lighted
and prepared for the expected guest.
Mary crossed the threshold with q feeling
of intense relief. The worst was over; she
had run the gauntlet successfully and was
aware that she had made a distinct impress
sion. Here at least she would have a few
moments solitude to collect her thoughts.
and she summarily dismissed the maid and
closed the door upon her kingdom
The room was delightful; large and fur
nished In excellent taste. The Turkish rug
on the polished floor was rich and soft.
the muslin curtains snowy in their SIM
plicitY. There were few fine photo
graphs and water colors on the walls. the
toilet set was silver mounted and heavily
, monogramed, the bed with its white cover
let inviting and wonderfully different from
q convent cot. There was a cannel-coal
fire In the CRATE and even pink silk
kimono thrown carelessly over the easy
chair by the hearth.
Mary looked around with the keenest ap-
probation of every detail: tt appealed to
her artistic sense of the fitness of things
and to her love Of luxury which was in
herent. She drew q little soft sigh Of en-
jOyment. However insecure her tenancy
the game seemed almost worth the candle,
and she could not suppress an amused con-
viction that the surroundings were a more
proper setting for her than for the true
Mary Hadding. who certainly had q sug-
gestion of her fathers nose.
She sank into chair with feeling Of
WEAKNESS akin to that Of actress who
has played the dress rehearsal with con-
spicuous success, but who has the greater
test of the first night yet before her.
