the charge of blackiisting union men.
He stated that the mine owners re-
quire man to take a pledge that he is
not a union man, and will not join a
union while in the employ of the COM
pany.
He also recommended the appointment
of committee to take charge of politi-
cal work in Arizona and New Mexico. to
secure the incorporation of an eight-hour
law, the employers liability law, the in
itiative referendum and recall. and other
measures in the constitutions of the new
states.
The committee was appointed yester-
day and consists of Joseph Cannon of
Bisbee, Ariz.; John Harper of Globe,
Ariz-; w. E. Tracy OF Terry. S. D.; John
Driscoll of Missouri and D. c. Roberts
Of New Brunswick, Canada. The com
mittee left Denver last night and is to
return in time to make report to the
convention before adjournment the lat
ter part of next week.
Most of the day was taken up with the
reports OF Secretary-Treasurer Ernest

board. Mills report Showed that the
federation has paid out about s250.0Oo
during the fiscal year in strike benefits,
chiefly in the Homestake mine in the
Black Hills district

period, so new local unions having been
added. and the treasury is now in a
healthy condition.
The executive committee recommended
that in mines where the temperature ex-
ceeds 30 degrees. the working hour day
should be six hours This condition ex-
lists in parts of Nevada and Arizona and
In certain mines where gas fires have
been burning slowly for many years. In
some Of these the six-nour day is al
ready in effect
Charges were made yesterday before
the convention by John Cowan against
J. p. Madigan of Great Falls, accusing
him OF having acted as a deputy sheriff
during the recent strike of the switch
men. Madigan gave a history of his la
Dor record. which included membership
in many labor organizations. A commit
tee was selected to investigate the
charges. and in the meantime the dele
gate will retain his seat in the conven-
ton.
John Powers OF the Butte Miners
union, was seated yesterday as a dele
gate following the only contest that de-
veloped regarding credentials. The op-
posing candidate for the seat was NJ. E.
Bradley. The vote was 2o9 to IS in the
convention in favor of seating Powers,
and is regarded as test of the strength
of the administration supporter.
1t is believed the present administra-
ton will be continued.

A number of Denver grocers report
that the Crafrey Broom and Brush
works is buying eastern-made brooms to
nj local orders On account of the diff
ficulty of securing men to take the
places of striking workmen, the output
of the factory has heen greatly reduced.
Many grocers are putting in the union
brooms. saying that they dislike to
spend money for eastern goods when
they can get union goods made by DEN

BUFORD POST AGAINST LEES
STATUE IN HALL OF FAME

ands of our comrades who have given
their lives, and other thousands who
have borne untold suffering, pain and
privations to the day of their death,
all In defense of their country and to
preserve and perpetuate their institu-
tons that we so sacredly cherish and
wish to transmit to the coming genera
ton unfmpaired.
We are anxious and willing to grasp
the hand with those who were in the
ranks opposed to US and who fought so
heroically during the bloody conflict
in their mistaken notion of right.
But we are opposed to placing in the
Hall of Fame in Washington, D. c., the
statue of a man educated at the ex-
pense Of the nation and then deserving
the nation that had given him his mill
itary training and using all his skill
and power in seeking the destruction
of that nation and only desisting when
compelled to desert by superior force.
Resolved. That we are opposed to the
placing of the statue of Robert E. Lee,
or any other man educated at govern
ment expense, and then bare arms to
destroy that government, in the Hall
of Fame.
Resolved, That we request Hon. Shell
by NJ. Cullom and William Lorimer,
our United States senators, and James
Mckinney, our congressman, to use all
their power and influence against such
dissertation.

THE OLD FAMILY DOCTOR.

THE OLD FAMILY DOCTOR.
Where's the good old family doctor,
with his microscopic bills,
With his bag of plasters. powders, and
those evil-tasting pills?
How our troubles used to tighten and
our aches and pains abate.
When his shabby horse and buggy tied
up at the old front gate
Now it's Doctor This for measles, and
it's Doctor That for mumps,
And it's Doctor Him
when it's just case of dumps;
If it's only common collie, just as plain
as plain can be,
To a hospital you're hustled for some
surgicality.
Comes the goth century doctor in a
spitless limousine,
Sealed dramatically in it-clothed
"germ-proof'' to microbes keen.
Or, more truly, this great doctor will
not come at all to you
In an Office he's receiving-"Ofice
hours from 1 to 2.''
And it's Doctor This for left eye, and
it's Doctor That for right,
And it's Doctor What-You-Call-Him if
you're crosswise in your sight.
When you need some fancy glasses
just to see more than you ought,
To Berlin you're shipped instanter to
that famous Doctor Whaught.
He can amputate bad tempers, he can
make good folks of bad,
He'll immune you from diseases that
you never could have had.
Yes, times come when it's expected,
just to keep you "middling fair"
You must know the specialistic docs OF
all the kinds there are.
o, it's Doctor This for "eetises," and
Doctor That for "ites,"
And it's Doctor What-You-Call-Him
when you're seeing things o. nights;
Each will treat one "error" only, will
these modern unionists,
Then divide your woes with twenty
other waiting specialists.
