COAL MINES CLOSING DOWN
Conflicting Stories Regarding the
Strike Of the Brotherhood on
Colorado and Southern,

Denver, Aug. S.-Vlce President A. ID.
Parker of the Colorado & Southern rail-
way says the company put to work twen-
ty-five more men today and that in a
few days he will have the road in nor
mai condition.
Grand Master P s. Morrissey of the
railway trainmen says that the situation
is unchanged. He claims that the strik-
ers are making heavy inroads in the
ranks of the strike breakers and that
most of the imported men leave the serv-
ice of the company as soon as they learn
of the strike. This the company de-
MES.
Today developments show a serious
shortage of domestic coal in Denver. The
coal mines in the Lafayette district are
about to close down and twelve metal
lfferous mines in Gilpin county stopped
work today.
To prevent the closing of more coal
mines in the Trinidad district the COM
pany has sent there a number of strike
breakers. who are expected to go to work
tomorrow.
Washington, Aug S.-The national gov
eminent has failed as Deacemaker in the
strike Of Switchmen on the Colorado e
Southern railroad. and Labor Commission
er Charles p. Neil announced tonight that
all hope had been abandoned of bringing
about a satisfactory adjustment of the
differences between the railroad company
and its striking employees. Mr.. NELL, with
Chairman Knapp of the interstate COM
merce commission, undertook to act as
mediator at the request of Vice President
Parker of the Colorado & Southern, who
declared that in calling the strike, p. H.
MOrrissey grand master Of the Order of
Railway Hrainmen, was violating the
union agreement signed at Chicago last
year.
1T has been impossible TO find any
common ground on which the cOntending
parties can agree" said Mr.. NELL. land
do not see that there is any more the
government can do
The negotiations, he said, insofar as the
government is concerned, is at an end.
The carving out of Grandmaster Nor
rissev's general strike order will mean
a general tie-up of the freight traffic and
the Gripping of the passenger service
from Greedy, Colo, to Texiine, Tex.

LITTLE STATES
LONG FOR PEACE
Delegates from Central Amer
lea May Meet in Washington
to Pledge Themselves.
UNCLE SAM FAv0RS PLAN
AGREEMENT WOULD CARRY IN
PREVENTION CLAUSE

Washington, Aug. 8.-Most of the rep
resentatives of the Central American re-
publics who remain in Washington or
vicinity, called upon Acting Secretary of
State Bacon today this being diplomatic
day, to talk individually with him about
the project for a general convention of
delegates from their countries in Wash
ingtOn to endeavOr to reach an agreement
likely to result IN permanent peace in
that quarter of the world. With all par
ties willing TO enter upon such confer
ence, the difficulty appears to lie in the
unWiilingnesS of any to take the initia-
tive on account of personal pride. Each
of the little republics thinks that it has
a grievance against its neighbor and in
the absence of any apology as a condition
precedent TO an international gathering,
would have the other party make the first
advances. The state department here,
supported in principle by the Mexican
government, is extremely DESTROYS of fur
thering this conference, but is estopped
ing by fear that its motives might
be misunderstood and il be suspected of
selfish designs and understandable inter
VentiOn
Hope Of Agreement.
Il is understood that all of the minis
tiers are in constant communication with
their home governments upon this sub
jet, and az one OF them today said, there
IS reasonable ground for hope that within
a very short time, through an exchange
OF notes or perhaps an informal personal
meeting between the ministers here an
agreement car be reached for the con
VentiOn OF the delegates in Washington
some time next winter
There have been other conventions be-
tween these countries looking to the pre-
servation Of the peace, but all were IA
tally detective in lacking a compulsory
feature. So il has been suggested that if
another treaty is drawn in Washington as
the outcome of the projected convention
1t snail clOthe America and Mexico with
the positive duty of intervening in the
interests OF peace in cases of Disagree
ment that do rot yield to treatment by
the ordinary methods of diplomacy.

CALIFORNIA PRIMARY LAW
Voters Must State Their Party At
filiations When Registering.

San Francisco Aug. S.-The supreme
court, in decision handed down TODAY.
sustains the primary election law reuuir-
ing ali voters to state their party af-
1lliations at the time Of registering The
act which was passed by the last leg
tslature, was held to be constitutional in
every particular.
The decision comes as a surprise to
many and il was intimated by the court
last week that a different opinion might
be expected. The final disposition of the
test case will affect over $500 voters who
refused TO state their party politics and
their rights. These electors will not now
be able TO participate in the coming pri-
mary election, which may change the DO
litical situation.

DiOnisuS Gutierrez, formerly 4 member
of the cabinet and long prominent in the

pose. The departments reason was that

Cause of Rumors.
Experience VIII Show.

My own view is that whether e lower
rate will lessen dividends or Increase them
by increasing travel and shipments is a
matter OF experiment. | presume it was
upon being convinced of this that some
of the railroads abandoned their prelim-
mary injunction of state law and author
ity as of doubtful legality even if per-
manent injunction shall properly be up
held upon full proof and after some little
time for experiment.
1T will doubtless be the policy of this
department to aid in the speedy determin-
alton of all the questions involved in the
railroad rates controversy by the supreme
court, and in that high tribunal the rights
of all will be safe and soon settled. When
the department shall have continued a
while longer enforcing laws against re-
batting and restraints and monopolies of the
trade. the result cannot fail to be a sound
er and less tainted prosperity"
