WAGES ADVANCED 10 PER CENT.

The board of arbitration appointed to
settle the dispute between the tiremen
and the management of the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad as to wages and
hours, has filed its award with the clerk
of the federal court. 1t is a substantial
victory for the men, as 500 firemen and
host1ers over the entire system will re-
ceive an increase in wages approximate
ing 10 per cent, shorter hours on GER
tain runs and improved working condi-
tions. The report will not be officially
made public until Saturday.
The board consisted of Attorney w. F.
Hynes of Denver, representing the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen; w. S. Martin, assistant
general manager of the Denver & Rio
Grande, representing the company, and
former Judge C. d. Chambers of Wash
ington, D. c., who was named as the
third member of the board by the inter-
state commerce commission when the
two arbitrators first named failed to
agree on third member. Both sides
are compelled to accept the award and
it does away with all possibility of a
strike.
The negotiations have been on for
more than year and the demands were
first presented when f1fty-two Western
railroads were asked by the fremens or
ganization to grant an increase averag-
ing 13 per cent. The Rio Grande did not
belong to the Western Association of
General Managers, and when the in
crease on all other roads was given by a
board of arbitration of about 10 per cent.
it refused to give the men the same
schedule. Many conferences were held
and arbitration was the only way to pre-
vent strike.
The men felt that the naming OF for
mer Judge Chambers meant the same
increase as was given the other roads
of the West, and they have not been dis
appointed. Under the terms OF the ma
tional arbitration law, testimony had to
be taken in a federal building. and for
several weeks past the board sat in the
postoffice building and heard both sides
ably presented. Timothy Shea, first vice
president of the firemen, represented the
men and was aided by the members of
the general grievance committee OF the
firemen's organization.
Arbitrator Chambers has returned to
Washington Vice President Shea viii
remain in Denver and will take up GER
tain features of the award with the re-
naming members of the board in case
there is any misunderstanding as to
what the terms of the decision include.

FRENCH CABINET RESIGNS.


Premier BRAND and the entire French
cabinet that succeeded the Clemenceau
ministry on July 20, 1909, unexpectedly
resigned Wednesday in consequence OF
the bitter attacks made in the chamber
of deputies by the Socialists on the gov
ernment's action in suppressing the re-
cent railroad strike and its proposed leg
islation for the avoidance Of similar
crises.
The Socialists, who reJoiced when
BRAND was chosen premier. were 1ubi-
liant when he resigned. For his work IN
breaking the strike he has been branded
traitor to the party tenets.
A strong Republican majority in the
chamber voted confidence in the govern
ment, but at meeting Of the ministers
dissensions developed and BRAND an
nounced that new and serious problems
had grown out of the labor trouble that
must be met by united ministry.

MRS. LAsFeary IN LEGISLATURE.
Record Of Which She May Well Feel
Proud-Beiieves in Unions.

The Hon. Mrs. Alma v. Lafferty is
candidate for reelection to the legisla-
ture as representative. She is can
didate on the Democratic ticket, and her
many friends are leaving no stone un-
turned to secure her return to the legis-
.ature.
Mrs. Lafferty is woman of middle
apartment at 1461 Logan avenue. She
was elected to the legislature two years
ago on the same ticket on which she is
now candidate, and her record has been
a creditable one. She served through the
seventeenth and also in the extra session
of the legislature and has had practically
the experience of two sessions.
No legislator in the state deserves
more hearty support and specific en-
dorsement from the educators of Colora-
do than does Mrs. Alma " Lafferty.
Her work in the last general assembly
for school legislation was SO generous in
its proportions, and so active in its re-
suits that through her energy and hearty
encouragement she, as chairman of the
committee on education, was largely in
strumental in the passage of the follow
ing legislative enactments: Teacher S
retirement fund; proposed constitutional
amendment to repay loss to state school
fund; new state board of examiners;
educational use of forest reserve fund ;
new county high school law; payment Of
tuition by districts; physical examina-

on strictly business basis without re-
gard to politics or pull" He spent thir-
teen months, working his force at every
spare moment, in abstracting a list OF
corporations and other valuable data. a
job that would have cost the state $751;
900 had extra help been employed. AS a
result, no corporation can now be over
looked in taxation, and with the aid of
these books, Secretary Pearce, in the
first seventeen months of his term, shows
fiat tax increase of $60.576.49 over his
predecessor All velvet" mind you,

and by reason OF the installation system.
the main, or corporation account, showed
an increase Of $91, ,906.46, a total increase
to the states treasury Of $152,4S2.95.
Last year, and again this year. he
transmitted complete list Of delinquent
corporations. something that, although
ordered by the law. has never been done
before. This has forced many delinquent
corporations to come in and pay up. and
131 suits have also been instituted. This
years list consists OF over 10000 names,
and the taxes of which the state is at
tempted to be cheated total a huge sum.
He also directed the compilation OF
corporations laws, the necessary and
valuable work being done without extra
cost to the state; consolidated three de-
partment cash books into one in charge
of cashier; indexed hundreds Of instru-
ments that had been floating around"
and instituted system OF checking the
ONCE that makes errors impossible and
allows the exact receipts Of the day to be
known FIVE minutes after the closing
hour. He didn't stop with the reports Of
foreign corporations, but checked them
up by correspondence with other states,
and in hundred ways gave the states
interests the same vigilant and aggress-
i've care that a good business man be-
slows on his own AFFAIRS.
The secretary of state is also ex-ohicio
labor commissioner. Mr.. Pearce, with
the assistance Of organized labor and
women's clubs, secured legislation at the
last session that permitted splendid re-
organization Of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics He is also member OF the Land
Board, and has done much to help that
department in the splendid record that It
has made.
The man has worked INCREASINGLY ever
since taking once. He has worked hon.
estly and intelligently. And not only has
he saved thousands of dollars to the
state, but stands as an adequate answer
to the old lie that the peoples Affairs
cannot be administered as a business
man administers his affairs.

RESUME OF TRIAL.

The trial of the editor of The Bulletin
was unsatisfactory, both to the manage
ment of the paper and to Mr.. Hally. Ac-
cording to the committee, the evidence
adduced was not to the credit of Mr..
Hally; neither did it prove the case OF
the editor satisfactorily. The editor took
the position that a man not working at
his trade and admitting to be in the en-
ploy of a corporation should not use the
money of that corporation to defeat the
aims and objects of the central organiza-
tion of union labor.
Mr.. Hally admitted that he was in the
employ of the Denver Union Water Com
pany and that he tried to put the busi-
ness agents of the different organizations
on the water company pay roll when that
company was asking for franchise. In
connection with this it was shown that
he endeavored to influence members OF
the advisory committee to recommend
the discharge of the first water commit
tee of the Denver Trades and Labor as
sembly; asked certain delegate to nom
mate certain delegate for the second
committee-which committee afterward
became notorious and . byword; later
asked a delegate to stand for election to
the office of vice president of the assem-
bly,; it was testified that he gave money
to a delegate to give to another delegate
during the water scandal. All this while
Mr. Hally was in the employ of the water
company and while the assembly was
trying to secure municipal ownership of
the water plant and while Mr.. Hally was
endeayoring to secure the franchise,
which was voted down. for the company.
The editor of The Bulletin bears no i'll
will for Mr.. Hally. We appreciate his
ability; we admire his personality; we
enjoy his company. A more able man
has not emanated from the ranks of un-
ion labor in Denver for years, and the
editor of The Bulletin regrets that the
corporations secured his services.
We still hold our opinion that when
central body of union labor stands for
and works for a principle, the union man
who uses corporation money to defeat
their aims should be eliminated from the
labor movement Notwithstanding the
report of the four committeeman.
The report was not signed by l.. M.
French, a member of the committee. Mr..
French expressed himself as follows:
To The Denver Express:
In the article reporting the Label
League meeting of Friday evening of last
week there appeared in the Express OF
Saturday evening an article using my
name in connection with the committee
that investigated the charges made
against Geo. A. Hally in the United La

U. p. WILL ENLARGE SHOPS.

The Fortieth street shops, now being
vacated by the Pullman company, are to
be occupied by the Union Pacific with a
much larger force of men than the sleep
ing car company now employs there.
A general overhauling of all the Union
Pacific lines in Colorado is to be pushed
as fast as practicable, with the object OF
making the service here as excellent as
possible. Such extension of the com
pany's lines as may be made from time
to time in the near future will be done
with view to making Denver the hui
of the intermountain region.
There would be no delay, said A. l.
Mohler, vice president and general man
ager of the Union Pacific, who was in
Denver this week, in his company NOV
ing into the shops that are now being
left by the Pullman company. "Just as
soon as the Pullman people get out, we
will begin to make the necessary
changes and move in. A great quantity
of machinery has been ordered for this
plant, and it will be made one of The
,argest of our repair places.
Il cannot now say" he added, "jus!
how many men will be employed here In
that industry, but the number will be
much larger than that now kept by the
Pullman interests. Denver will get a
really substantial increase in its pay roll

tricts and free transportation of chill
dren; the establishment of state home
and training school for mental defect

of the juvenile court.
The school forces of Denver will show
their appreciation of Mrs. Lafferty's
great assistance to them, and at the
same time insure themselves of an ex-
perienced friend in the next legislature
by endorsing her for reelection.
Mrs. Lafferty introduced and worked
night and day for the eight-hour bill for
women, which was killed in the senate.
For her work for this bill the Laundry
Workers union elected Mrs. Lafferty to
an honorary membership in their organ
ization
Mrs. Lafferty is in favor of an employ
ers' liability law, and is on record in sup
port of such bill, and will support such
measure to the best of her ability If
elected at the polls Nov. s.
Mrs. Lafferty is in favor of law pro-
hibiting the employment of females for
more than eight hours.
She is in favor of the state employing

public highways, and for this work she
believes, with all humanitarians and low
ers of good roads, that convicts from the
state penitentiary should be given a
healthy outing and at the same time Sc
cure for the citizens that which will
more than anything else tend to prosper
ity and cheaper the cost of iving-good
roads.
Mrs. Lafferty believes that no human
being should work more than eight hours
for days pay.
She believes that men and women
should organize and that they should be
allowed to conduct strikes in a peaceful
| way. She is against the anti-boycott law.
| Mrs. Lafferty is broad-minded woman
of wide experience and travel and has
made her influence felt in the house OF
representatives. In conversation with
the writer, Mrs. Lafferty said that If
elected she will be more able, on account
of her past experience. to secure those
laws for which the people have been
striving.

he was under indictment for alleged vio.

George McLachlan was unanimously

GOVERNMENT WINS
IRRIGATION CASE
COnStitutiOnaIity of RecIama-
ton Act Upheld by Circuit
Court of Appeals.

San Francisco. July 5.-The constitu-
tlonality Of the reclamation act was
upheld today by the United States cir
cult court Of appeals. which sustained
the decision OF the Idaho district court
in favor of the government in the case
Of David Burley against the United
States.
Burley contended that the act which
permitted the government to condemn
his lands and water for irrigation pur-
poses was unconstitutional, on the
ground that water stored in the reser-
voirs sought to be taxed was not wholly
for public use. but for private, as It
was to be supplied private land owners
by the government.
The decision established the right Of
the secretary of the Interior 20 acquire,
by condemnation or otherwise. lands
and waters in the furtherance of any
reclamation project. 1t also extends
the right Of the government to take
over any needed private water rights
in carrying out the provisions OF the
act. II directly affects the disburse-
ment of the 100000 recently appro-
priated by Congress for reclamation
projects in the west, and will permit
