The Post deals with the probable
candidacy of the distinguished
Grand Junction jurist as follows:
The Roosevelt republicans, those
dyed in wool more than yard wide

ator Wolcott wherever he led-be-

cal choice of Colorado for United

Caswell. now sitting on the supreme
bench. to which he was elected by
the highest vote given any candidate
last year. is being doomed by these
old standbys of the party.
While this is the first public In
timation that the jurist was the
unanimous choice of the faction of
the party which believes 1t holds the
trump cards in Colorado politics,

under way for the last month and

SENATOR DE LONG
Is IN LINE NOW
Grand Junction Man May Aspire to
the Thirty-Third Degree OF
Masonry.

Senator Horace T. DeLong of this
city has been given the degree of
knight commander of the court of
honor, the degree which is prelim-
mary to the 33rd degree of Mason
ry. Senator DeLong. with about ten
other Colorado Masons, were given
this degree at the meeting of the
supreme council of the Ancient Ac-
cepted Scottish Rite of Free Mason
ry for the southern Jurisdiction of
the United States now being held In
Washington, ID. c.
While 1t is not necessary that all
who receive this degree become 33rd
degree Masons, it is the law of the
order that n Mason must have been
a X. C. C. II. for at least two years
before he becomes eligible to the
33rd, the highest. degree and one
that but few may ever attain.
The supreme council elected four
Colorado men to receive the 33rd de-
gree-Marshal II. Dean of Glenwood.

eliminated In a meeting held the lat
ter part OF last week In Denver.
Judge Caswell is to be the candi-
date of the western slope. That sec
ton has been reproducing both par
ties for several years because candi-
dates for the offices are always taken
from Denver, Colorado Springs and
few other localities, to the neglect
of other sections. The Caswell BOOM
ers say that Denver has sent Gug-
genheim to the senate. Little Lun-
non" is represented by congress-
man. and its politicians have many
fine berths, and the western slope
is entitled to some recognition.
"The leaders of the Caswell move
ment have not as yet consulted the
judge, and have not been given his
consent to use his name; but, after
the state has been thoroughly caL-
vassed. he will be asked to permit
his name to go before the people in
an official announcement"

THE TRAIN
SCHEDULE
LENCTHENED
Especial to The senrinel.)

Chicago. Oct. 26.-The Chicago
Kansas City and the Chicago-Denver
and Pueblo passenger train sched-
ules are to be cut. Announcement
of this was made by the Alton and
Burlington officials, and, while the
other roads have not announced their
intentions, they probably will be
forced to adopt the same schedules
This is in reality the resumption
of the former schedules. which were
heightened last June.
The present schedule to Kansas
City is IA hours and to Denver 32
hours. The new schedule will be / 8
hours to Kansas City and 80 hours
to Denver.
Both the Alton and the Burling-
ton roads assert that their roads
have lost business since the longer
schedule was adopted, the principal
competition being from the Califor-
MIA trains of the Santa Fe and the
Rock Island.

London, Oct. 26.-All the leading
weekly newspapers, ihdiscussing the
American financial situation, gener-
ally take their customary attitude,
that 1t is due to the unsoundness of
commercial methods. The Statist
says:
THE lesson of the crisis in Amer
lea is not that American commercial
honesty is less thar that of other
countries, but that the opportunities
for successful dishonesty are more
abundant and more tempting
The Statist asserts also that 1t is
the outcome of the fact that with a
few distinguished exceptions the
most respectable classes do not par
ticipate in politics, which now is the
career for men of low characters
for the most part. many of whom
have failed in other careers

Where the Kick Comes.

As the whole case stands today.
the railroad company laid off nearly
all of the men for today and tomor-
row, in spite of the fact that up un-
til today they had worked only 45
hours this week. Had the men put
In AS hours up until today, then
there would have been no objection
to the "1ay-off" order for today and
tomorrow, and the company would
not have violated the contract.
Provide for S-Hour Day.
1t Is the desire of these organiZa-
tions, as is the desire of nearly all
labor organizations. to establish an
S-hour day with six work days out
of the seven. Now the machinists
and boilermakers are working nine
hours a day under ordinary circum-
stances, but only insist on the rail-
road company giving them As hours
work in six days, which can be di-
vided II the railroad company sees
fit into six days of hours each. AS
the contract provides, the company
may reduce the hours of labor to
4S hours per week; but, until 1t does
that, it cannot reduce the number
of men employed. Under the order
issued by Pervis last night the COM
pany cuts the days instead of cutting
down the hours of labor, and yet
reduces the number of men employed
for today and tomorrow. The men
object.
None of the men kick about being
laid off on Sunday, for time and a
half Ia paid for Sunday work, and
IL Is understood that the company
will keep busy on that day only a
Lumber of men sufficient to keep
things moving. But they do object
to being laid off Saturday and Sun
day both, especially when they have
only put In As hours of work dur
ing the week. and their contract fix
es the minimum at As hours.
Master Mechanic Helpless.
AS the master mechanic has TO
power to change the orders ALL of
the men determined that they would
lay off today and tomorrow. instead
of letting a few go TO work.
BoiIermakers Called.
This morning the company
called" the small number of boiler
makers 1t desired to go to work to-
day. Every man, 1t is said, de-
cllned to respond to the call.
Machinists Called.
In turn the machinists, who were
expected to work today. were called
and 1t Is said that they. too, declined
TO work before Monday.
VIII They Lose Jobs?
The question arises. VIII the men
who refused to respond to the calls
today be given discharge checks by
the railroad company, and II they
are what will be the result? II the
men are discharged, the organiza-
tions to which they belong will be-
yond doubt stand by them.

Laws OF the Men.

Last night there came an order
from Mr.. Pervis, superintendent of
motive power of the Rio Grande sys-
TEN, commanding that all the boil
ermakers, machinists, their helpers
and other shop employees be laid off
today and tomorrow-Saturday and
ndey-except number of the
employees absolutely necessary to the
wheels turning and things going in
the shops. The order was bulletined
as usual by Acting Master Mechanic
Matt II. Flynn. 1t created much
surprise by the men affected. 1t was
and is an unusual order, in view of
the contract that the railroad COM
pany has with the machinists and
the boilermakers.
They All are Idle.
The day men quit work at the us
ual hour last night and the night
men went off this morning at 8
o'clock. Since that hour not ma
chinist or boilermaker has answered
the summons of the call boy to go
to work.
To Cut Expenses.
It is said that the Rio Grande is
sued the order in an effort to cut
down expenses as closely as possi-
BILE before the months end and 1t
seems that the boilermakers, ma
chinists. etc, will help the read re-
duee them even more thoroughly
than the management of the road
contemplated. Instead of the road
having to pay for the services of
lust as few men as they could get
along with today and tomorrow, they

ity of them, as the railroad had
planned.
Is not n Strike.
However, 1t must not be under
stood that a strike has been called
ard Is in progress. for such is not
the case.
Violated Contract.
The machinists and the boiler
makers declare that the railroad
company has absolutely violated its
contract with these organizations
and doubtless there must be re-
adjustment or trouble is very like
ly to follow.
Shall Work iS Hours.
There Is a clause in the contracts
between the machinists' organiza
tior and the Denver & Rio Grande
company that reads as follows:
If 1T is NECESSARY TO RE-
DUCE EXPENSES THE RAILROAD
COMPANY SHALL REDUCE THE
HOURS OF LABOR TO FORTY
HOURS PER WEEK BEFORE RE-
DUCING THE NUMBER OF MA
CHINISTS EMPLOYED.
The same provision is made in the
contract between the company and
the boilermakers.
This clause, it is charged. has
been violated by the railroad COM
pany by the order issued and bull
letined In the local shops last night.

THE COAL TRUST
Especial to The sentinel.)

Pueblo. Colo. Oct. 26.-Follow-
Ing a mass meeting held at the opera
house last night resolutions were
adopted calling upon the state to
mine and sell coal from the mines
owned by the commonwealth to cit
liens at the cost OF production.
A conference was held by the
leaders in the movement and 1t was
decided to call a state convention at
which the coal situation would be
thoroughly discussed and action ta-
ken to get the governor to open the
mines.

Monday as usual; that there was Lo
strike on.
Will Strike Follow?
Another question arises: II the
railroad company issues another
similar order, In spite of the con-
tract which the men say the COM
pany Is violating, will the men all
over the system then be called out
on strike? A number of promi-
nent railroad men, In discussing the
situation today, expressed an Opin-
ion that there is much danger of
such action.
Equalizing Expenses.
1t is known that the Rio Grande
shop men have been working much
overtime all months; work Is piled
high in all the shops along the sys-
TEN, and the labor rolls have been
high Now, in order to keep the ex-
penses from exceeding the appropri-
alton for the shops for, the month
of October. and to keep the balance
on the right side, 1t is believed this
order to lay off all men but those
absolutely necessary to keep things
going for today and tomorrow, there-
by saving the company several thou
sand dollars in labor wage, was is
sued.
Only Rio Grande Affected.
The Colorado Midland road Is not
involved in the matter, only the Rio
Grande being involved.
1t will be remembered that the
boilermakers at Salida were out for
time this month, but are now back
at work.
No. 3 Went Out.
1t was feared by some that Rio
Grande train No. 3, west bound
would be unable to proceed from here,
as no engines would be In readiness to
take the train on west. However
the company succeeded In getting
the train out. Whether there will
be any delay of No. 6, due at 6:31
pm, on its eastward journey, can
not be told. Should all the men re-
main out. there may be serious in
reference with the service tomor-
row.
Work Piled Up.
A day or two of complete cessa-
tion of work in the railroad shops
is very serious problem for the
railroad company. especially when
the shops are almost swamped with
work.
Much Discussion Today.
All udy BroupS VI tiie suop men
have been standing on the street cor
ners discussing the situation and the
affair has created intense interest.
There are many conjectures as to
the final outcome.
The men seem perfectly willing to
