after he made his daring escape from the st

he was captured by bunch of farmers, but
they were men who had been preparing for
months for just such cases, and were acting
under direction of their chosen leader.

two of his pals caught active anti while

They started to hang this anti, but after
polling him to take an oath of their own max

Much to the regret Of those inter
ested in building mp the Western
Slope and its marble industry. The
big Colorado-lule company at Mar
BILE has gotten tied up in a serions
labor difficulty with It's men. Both
at quarry and mill they have all
quit and what is worse, the marble
men throughout the country are al
lied, and viii refuse to use this com
panys material while the difficulty
remains unsettled
The trouble appears To have
started in the mill, where nine
hour day has been the rule No
particular trouble over this, for the
men were nearly all expert workmen
and drawing high wages, often -,
81, or IS DAY and even higher
The policy of the company seems to
have to hire good men and pay good
wages. However, there was a great
deal OF overtime sometime working
a considerable part of the force, and

wages. a crane runner refused 10
put IN tins overtime as requested
without time and a half pay lie
was discharged and his two assist
ants as well. The marble cutter
union demanded their reinstatement.
Failing in that they struck and the
quarrymen went out also. Manv i
the workmen are leaving Marble al
together. as the company declares 1t
will not yield. 1t is also reported
that the men now demand an eight
hour shift. About 800 men are in

IF there is one enterprise on
earth that 'quitter' should leave
severely alone, is advertising. To
make a success of advertising, one
must be prepared to stick like a
barnacle on boats bottom, He
should know before be begin. it that
he must spend money-lots of it.
Somebody must tell him that he
cannot hope to reap results commen-
surate with his expenditure early in
the game.
Advertising does not jerk; it
pulls. 1t begins very gently at first
out the pull is steady 1t increases
day by day and year by year until
it e1erts an irristible power.
