FRANK A. BRYAN A CANDIDATE
FOR SECRETARY OF FEDERATION

ent Cr0skeyL Let Down Bars When Good Men Seek Office.

The convention of the Colorado State
Federation of Labor will be held in Colo
RADIO Springs this year, as has been pre-
viousIy stated in The Bulletin. The date
is the week of Aug. IA.
The Denver delegation is on tiptoe
with anticipation of the event and the
business to come before the convention.
That the convention will be the largest
ever held in the state is the general
opinion of Iaborins men conversant with
the labor movement in Colorado.
The Western Federation of Miners has
become affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton during the year, and a great
many Colorado locals of the w. F. of M.
are affiliated with the State Federation.
During the past two years nearly hun
dred local unions have affiliated them
selves with the State Federation. and a
great many of these will have delegates
at the Springs on the 14th inst.
While not of the greatest Importance,
interest centers around the election of a
secretary to succeed William T. Hickey,
the incumbent, who is also a candidate.
Mr.. Hickey has been out over the state
several times fixing up his fences, and
asserts that he is sure Of reelection. He
has the support of Harry W. Fox of the
Pueblo Review and of the state labor de-
partment.
AT Grand Junction last year the politi-
cal enemies of Hickey desired to defeat
him but could not find man of suffi-
cient strength who could draw from
Hickey's strength who had not bound
himself morally to support the admins

for all unions, their members and friends
to withdraw their money from the Colo
RADIO National bank.

further persecution of unionists in this

cause of our inaction.

The committee urges unionists, when
purchasing coal, to buy from only those
handling southern coal. w. H. Leonard,

committee as a dealer who will give the
purchaser a square deal in this respect.

While this is going on Injunction
Greeley is having his troubles. He was
accused by John T. Bottom in his motion
for new trial for Henwood, who was
convicted of killing Copeland at the
Brown hotel, of conniving with the dis
trict attorneys office to convict Henwood
and give John Springer divorce from
his unfaithful spouse. 1t is needless to
say that a new trial was refused.
Following this refusal of a new trial.
Henwood was ordered before Whitford
for sentence. When asked If he had any
thing to say Henwood replied:
81 am not surprised that l am up here
for sentence before you after the atti-
tude you have taken toward me since
this trial started.
81 have seen criminals. innocent men
nd Oth n n
fore you because you hold the reputation
of being a prejudiced judge-a biased
judge-a man with a mind for just one
thing. and that is conviction. A man is
guilty before he enters this courtroom
in your estimation.
THE woman (Mrs. Springer) was put
under morphine before she was put on
the standard you know 1t, and every
body knows II.
From my observation 1t does not
make bit of difference how young a
life is. or how old. whether man or
woman. your one thought is-conviction.
II is like the kleptomaniac with you
YOU have a desire to convict.
II know that you are going to pass
stence upon me-which is the happiest
part of this trial for you.
There is any amount of cases in the
jail over here just crying TO be tried. and
the district attorney knows 1t, and you
know IT. No, you must get me in before
the Springer divorce case.
Judge Whitford, l cannot call you
anything but a prosecuting judge. l
wonder IL in the past you have ever con-
sidered whether or not you are fit to sit
and adjudee a man upon any sentence.
You should be called a prosecuting
Judge.
You took IT upon yourself to say that
~
had testified falsely. What right have
vou got TO say that?
II stand ready for your unjust SEN
'ence."

Chicago-The board OF Cancellation ap-
pointed to investigate the dispute be-
tween the Great Northwestern Telegraph
company and the members of the Com
mercial Telegraphers' union, has filed its
report with the Canadian government at
Ottawa This report is unanimous in its
finding and provides for a set of work
ing rules and a schedule of minimum
wages per cent. higher than the former
scale. All of the men who were dis
missed on account of activity in the union
were reinstated.

the bill should be defeated that a new
law might be initiated to cover all classes
of work.
That hundreds of names now on the
petitions will be withdrawn when it is
learned what the petitions mean is not
doubted.
Organized labor and citizens generally
are up in arms against this move Of the
corporations. If the corporations sue
ceed in their desire to prevent the oper-
alton of the law for two years law will
be initiated by an aroused public to cover
all classes of work in the state; and the
steel mills at Pueblo will receive no
special privileges at the hands of the
public.
Don't sign the petitions. II you or your
friends have placed their name on one

Rest for tuberculosis Patients.

DR.. Joseph II. Pratt of Boston, who
was the founder of the first tuberculo
sis class in the United States In the
Emmanuel church In Boston, claims
that in the treatment of tuberculosis
absolute rest, often In bed, must be
extended ove a period of months, be-
fore the consumptive should take any
exercise. He says: Prolonged rest
in bed out of doors yields better re.
suits than any other method of treat,
ing pulmonary tuberculosis. Patients
will have a better appetite and take
more food without discomfort and gain
weight and strength faster than pa,
tents with active disease who are
allowed to exercise. Complications
are much less frequent. When used
in the incipient stage recovery is
more rapid and surer."

CARING FOR FRUIT GARDENS
Cultivation During Summer to
Keep Soil Mellow.

The bearing red raspberry cones,
after they have done fruiting, die
These cones should be cut out as soon
as the leaves commence to turn yellow
to make zoe for the new growth. The
new cones should not be allowed to
reach a higher growth than four and
one-half to five feet. The leading bud
should be pinched out. This checking
OF the main shoot causes the side
shoots to make growth and these in
turn should be pinched back when
they are IS inches in length. Allow
three to four cones to the hill. All
suckers should be cut close to the
ground. Run the cultivator between
the rows and cut out all grass and
weeds among the ones. The soil
should be kept clean and mellow, to
promote stocky growth of next years
fruiting cones. The same culture
should be followed with the black
berry cones.
Black cap r~aspberries differ in their
name of growth from the red and
yellow raspberry family. They do not
throw up suckers from the root, but
multiply by roofing at the ends Of the
cones, which naturally bend down and
touch the earth.
Fruit trees planted last fall and this
spring require extra care and culture.
The ground for a space Of three feet
should be kept mellow. If the leaves
commence to wilt and curl it is a sign
that the roots need moisture. Take a
bar and make several holes one foot
out from the tree and one foot in
depth, fill these holes with water late
in the evening. The water will go di-
rect TO the roots. Water twice a week
in hot, dry weather. Spread a thick
dressing of grass or weeds around
each tree to keep the soil cool and
moist. Dwarf trees are to be kept in
the shape of bushes, pyramids or
whatever style of training may be
thought best by pinching. Long shoots
must be pinched back. Thin out all
small fruit. The best fruit is only to
be had by thinning.

The cost last year for labor and

because they were planted on a piece
of land which was full Of quack, says
a writer in the American Agriculturist.
We cultivated that field 80 times dur

necessary to keep n man on the

record of all work done on each field.
Each man has his time sheet, and his
time and that of his team are charged
I'D to each field each night. So far we
have not been able to secure more
than 5000 an acre, gross, on our bear-
ing orchards. We hope to get more.

to wonder whether their acres are av-
erage acres or not. | was in a four
