largely on the political personnel of

state insurance department The state
Gsh commission suffered the loss Of a
car shed by reason of its being blown
down by a wind storm and the insurance
company refused to pay the loss on the
ground that the policy carried tornado
and not wind insurance Appeal was
made to the state insurance department
with the result that it is of the opinion
that if wind which did the damage was
strong enough to wreck a building it
was near enough to a tornado to be
covered by the policy. Elk.

MEN TAKE VOTE
ON GOULD SYSTEM
BaIIoting Among Machinists
and Other Shopmen Report
ed Unanimous for Strike.

AS a result of the strike of machinists
boilermakers and blacksmiths on the Rio
Grande Western between Ogden and
Denver, shopmen of all classes on the
entire Gould system have been taking a
strike vote. The Missouri Pacific led in
the movement.
Preliminary reports have it that the
vote to strike was practically unanimous.
Union officials at Denver have advices
that out of 34S ballots cast, 904 were in
in favor of striking. At the time the
the complete returns would be in by yes
terday.
Local strikers say the movement for a
general strike on the Gould system will
be of immense benefit TO the Rio Grande
men who are out.
They contend that the strike of shop
men on the Canadian Pacific will attract
a large number of strikebreakers who
have been working on the Rio Grande,
and, as one of the strikers put it. the
company will be that much more up
against it. These fellows keep going
around all the while, and l am quite sure
that the strike on the Canadian Pacific
will call a lot of them out of this sec
ton"
The Canadian Pacific strike involves
approximately 1000 men.
IL is the opinion of local strikers that
as soon as the result of the vote on the
Missouri Pacific and the other Gould
lines is known there will be important de-
velopments in the situation. and that the
status of affairs in this city will ma
terially change

are good for an Improvement. particu-
larly in the mining states. I'm Montana"
he said, ~ had talk with Mr.. Ryan of
the Amalgamated company. and he was
very sanguine about the future of the
metal. In his opinion it is likely to reach
16 cents. Here in Salt Lake l found much
the same opinion. Mr.. Morse of the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining company told
me there were practically no surplus
stocks and that he looked for advancing
prices. This and the prospect of improve
ment in lead has given the mining bust
ness a strong tone and is helping gen.
eral business materially. From what /
have learned while here Salt Lake seems
to be in Splendid condition; it certainly
is growing very fast and making re-
markab BILE headway."
