FEW POLITICIANS ON HAND
More Newspaper Men Than Delegates
at Denver,

Denver, July 1.-From present ap-
pearances it is probable that the ma
Iority of the delegates and alternates
to the Democratic national convention
will be in Denver only a short time
before the convention opens. Thus
far not a single state delegation has
arrived, only a few have started and
1t Is a fact that there are nor news
paper men on the ground than poll
ticians. Probably the first active par.
Elephants in the convention to reach
Denver will be those who left Chicago
several days ago in automobiles and
who visited Lincoln Monday on their
westward journey.
All Of the available space in the
hotels already has been reserved by
the state delegations and such visitors
to the convention as we're prompt in
applying for rooms, and the Denver
Convention league, a n%on-partisan or
ganization, has arranged to- provide
quarters in all desirable sections of
the city for any number of people. The
league has adopted the plan which
was first used at the Worlds Colum-
bian exposition at Chicago and has
since been put in practice in other
parts of the country upon occasions of
I similar nature. A bureau of infor-
nation in charge Of competent and
we'll informed men has been estab-
lished at the Union depot, where all
rooms, with the price and other par
ticulars concerning them, are listed.

The premier, in a curt message, de-

Chicago, July Railroads enter
ing Chicago are threatened with a
strike by the Freight Handlers union
unless within twenty-four hours the
companies agree to sign a years wage
agreement. q
A resolution to this effect was
passed at a mass meeting held by
1000 members of the union following
a bitter attack on railroads by Inter-
national President p. ]. Flannery.
Without a dissenting vote the union
passed the measure, which ultimately
may mean the tying up Of the greater
part of the freight business of the
city.
Should the railroads refuse the de.

to sign the desired contract within
the prescribed time the union voted to
allow the calling Of the strike to rest

and the executive board and to allow
them to S whatever method they
think best to win the fight.
