WHY NOT SALT LAKE?

The dispatches of a day or two ago
contained the announcement tina the
interior department was contemplating
the establishment of a bureau of mines.
with headquarters either in Salt Lake
city or Denver. A bill making lis
possible has received favorable con-
sideration from the lower house of con-
gress. Should the bureau be estab-
lished. il will be the duty of the citi-
zens of Salt Lake to see to it that this
city is designated as the headquarters.
The advantages are all with us. salt
Lake City is the heart and center of the
greatest metal mining country in the
United States, indeed in the world.
With the opening of the new mining
districts in Nevada there can no longer
be any doubt on this point. 1t is easier
to reach almost any important district
from Salt Lake City than from any
other point, Our railroad facilities in
this direction are unsurpassed. The
salt Laker can get into any Idaho.
Nevada. Montana or California point at
least twenty-four hours ahead of a
Denver man starting the same day
Practically the only advantages pos
sessed by Denver are for Colorado and
Arizona districts. And for Arizona
they have not very much the better
Of Salt Lake City. Some Arizona point,
in fact, may be reached more quickly
from Salt Lake than from Denver. If
the headquarters are located fairly, if
nothing but merit is permitted to gov
ern in the selection. we cannot under
stand how it will be possible for Salt
Lake City to lose.
Still. it will be necessary To point out
the advantage OF this city. Denver
will certainly set up the claim that il
should have the headquarters, because
il has been designated as the perma-
nent Headquarters of the American
Mining congress. II is not necessary
at this time to go into the history of
that Denver victory. 1t is only neces-
sary at this time to say that it was
secured by methods so unfair that they
should never have been tolerated in a
convention composed of fair-minded
American citizens. The fact that Den
yer has those headquarters should not
initiate at all against Salt Lake City
i'm this contest. But Denver may be
depended upon to bestir herself, We
cannot secure the headquarters, even
though we have so much the better of
the argument, without a fight The
Herald believes the prize is worth
striving for. Until we can be repre-
sented i'm the presidential family with
a secretary of mines and mining. as
the Importance of the industry thor
oughly merits. the best we a expect
is a bureau of mines.
That bureau should be located as
close as possible to the mining center
and Salt Lake City is the place. ,

whenever the subject comes up. In
his speech at the Knox dinner Thurs
day evening, Mr.. Cannon is quoted as
saying that a pile-driver couldn't get
the 1900 publishers of the country
to tell the truth about the paper tariff
He wanted to know what difference a
tariff of Is per cent makes. anyway.
and intimated that he had been mis-
treated in the discussion of the sub
ject-
In the first place, if a duty of 10
per cent makes no difference. what OBJ
lection can there be tt removing it?
In the second place. why should Mr..
Cannon refuse to let congress vote on
the question when eighty Republicans
and all the Democrats stand ready to
vote for abolition of the duty? What
sort of representative government is it
that makes it possible for n man to
subvert the will of the whole house of
representatives and defy the wishes of
so large a number OF men interested
in the publishing business?
The Is per rent difference duty
makes just his difference: With the
duty to help them. the manufacturers
have established a monopoly in def
ance of law. raised the price of paper
to an extortionate figure, practically
abolished competition in n of the
greatest industries of the country, paid
enormous dividends on watered securi-
ties and seized the control of nearly all
the spruce forests of the country from
which paper is made. The increased
cost of paper to New York publishers
alone was something like $4,000, 600 a
year, and the total cost TO the publish
ers of the country has been estimated
at from $40. 900, 900 to $50. 900, 600.
What the tariff means to the paper
trust may be inferred from the fact
that the pool of mills restricted the
mills of one company to a profit OF
50 per cent. and a profit OF so per cent
has not been unusual Canadian mills
have been selling paper proftably al
$32 a ton at the mill, while the trust
mills in this country nave put prices
as high as s52 a ton. The Canadian
mills have competed in a small way
/ with the American mills. and made
money, although the tariff against
them is So a ton, So plain is the evi'
dence of an illegal combination thar
the encouragement of the United
States has prepared to prosecute th'
trust criminally.
How has Speaker Cannon cooper
ated with the publishers to prevent the
extortion which threatens to ruin thei
business? His latest move has beer
TO secure the passage of a resolution
| asking the encouragement for the in
formation in hand showing the exist
ence of an illegal trust. Nothing wa
to be gained by this except to give tn,

THE "REPUDlArIoN" OF GoMPERs

The Reputation" of Gompers,
which was to have been pulled off in
Denver as per schedule prepared by
the Union Busters, aided and abetted
by Theodore Roosevelt, was pleasing
to loyal union men and exactly what
Gompers deserved. The Reputation"
consisted of reelection to the presi-
dency of the American Federation of
Labor by practically unanimous
VOTE There was just one vote against
him-that of socialist.
The Reputation" of the Fedora
tons political program was repeti
tition of the Reputation" of Com
pers.
Keefe, the gutter" who is parti-
san politician before he is a union
man; Keefe, who agreed to the po-
litical plan and then got cold feet be-
cause his party bosses applied the ice
pack; Keefe, who thought he espied
mess of political pottage as a re-
ward for selling his industrial birth
right-Keefe who went to Denver to
hand a package to Gompers," wasn't
in the game for minute. He found
himself hanging on the edges with no
one to do him honor. And Keefe was
not even mentioned for reelection as
one of the Federation's vice-presidents.
On the contrary, his treachery was de-
nounced on the floor and by resolu-
ton. That's the end of Keefe as
labor leader. His influence hereafter
will be a minus quantity, and with
his influence gone he will find that his
party's political managers have no
further use for him.
Samuel Gompers is today, as he
has been for years. the beloved leader
of the onward marching industrial
army. His loyal supporters know his
answering honesty and his unselfish
devotion. The assaults of his enemies
have served only to increase the de-
votion of the union men and women
who make up the American Federation
of Labor.
The reelection of Gompers and the
reaffirmation of the Federation's poll.
tical program means that organized
labor is going into politics again and
again, until organized labor's demands
for justice for the toilers is heard and
needed. Not partisan politics, to be
sure. Just politics-the political game
that is played for principles, for JUS
tice.

WORKERS HAVE AN INTEREST,

The action of the Central Labor
Union last Tuesday night in appoint
ing committee to act with the char
ter revision committee was timely. The
Commercial Club, representing the
business interests, is represented on
the committee; the city council, repre-
senting the political interests, is rep
resented on the committee-but the
workingmen outnumber of the business
men and the politicians ten to one.
Why, then should not the workers be
invited to participate in the labor of
revising Lincoln's charter and pre-
pairing for the commission system of
government? The Central Labor
Union has appointed five men of in
telligence, civic pride and undoubted
loyalty to Lincoln. They are just as
much interested in Lincoln's welfare
as any business man. The majority
of Lincoln workingmen may not pay
taxes directly, but they pay the vast
bulk of the taxes indirectly. Without
their labor there would be no Lincoln
worthy of the name.
The workers are especially interest
ed in some of the matters that will
have to be considered in the construc
ton of a new charter, and they are

LOCAL OPTION"
Rev. Charles Sickle Says 1t Is a
Trades Union Principle.

Waving for the moment the merits
of the fight that is now on with ref
erence to the abolition of the saloon,
it might be of interest to call atten-
ton to a series of resolutions which
have been passed by number OF
Central Bodies and a few State FEEDER
atoms.
In about every instance, these reso-
lutions protest against any movement
which has for it's object the introduce
ton of the principle of local option, in
any community.
One of the cardinal principles of
organized labor is the use of referen-
dunn The orators who are SO strenu-
Gus in their objection to local option,
seem to forget that local option" is
simply another name for "the referen-
