NORTHERN COAL co.
SOLD TO ROCKY MTN.
Settlement of Strike Not in Sight
Advance Asked Is Granted
in Other Districts.

The Rocky Mountain Fuel Co.. with
Offices in the Foster building, has taken
over the Northern, Coal & Coke company,
the miners Of which company have been
on strike for twenty months. E. e
Shumway is president and general man
seer, and o. w. Brown. vice president
Much comment was caused the past
week by the report that the Northern
Coal & Coke company had sold its hold
ings to the Rocky Mountain Fuel COM
pany. Different reports have gone out
regarding the exact status of the sale
and il lacked verification. Tuesday The
Bulletin office called up President
Sehumway and he confirmed the report
that his company had taken over the
holdings OF the Northern Coal & Coke
company.
''ls Mr.. Struby or Mr.. kountze in any
way connected with your company since
the Northern property changed hands?"
MIR. Sehumway was asked.
They are not" said President Schum-
way: they have sold their holdings to
our company-all of which is matter
of record.
Euorts have also been made since the
property changed hands to settle the
strike in the Northern fields. President
White of the United Mine Workers of
America was here for three days last
week. in conference with the new man
agement of the property, and although
it was said Sunday that settlement
was in sight. it has failed to mature and
is not looked for in the immediate fu-
ture. although it is expected soon.

ings of Struby and Kountze that the new
owners would come to some understand
ing with the United Mine Workers and
the battle OF nearly two years would be
ended.
The new company has other reasons
for settling the strike with the miners.
During the twenty months battle the
former owners of the property have
spent hundreds of thousands of dollars
to import strikebreakers. sending agents
through the East. numerous legal pro
ceedings, and many other expenses, be-
side the deterioration of the property. II
was thought the new company would

and enormous expense.
An advance of from 5 cents to cents

miners. This advance has been asked
ed States except Colorado. On top OF
this refusal the Northern Coal & Coke

it's head-raised the price of coal 81 per

also advanced the price 20 cents per ton
The chamber OF commerce has taken up

to grant this cents a ton increase.

RETAIL CLERKS ARE
BEING ORGANIZED
Trades Assembly Organizer Gets
Thirty New Members
in Half Day.

The Denver local of the Retail Clerks
has secured the services of Organizer II.
NJ. Mum of the Trades and Labor AS
sembly to help in the building up of
their organization. The Retail Clerks
union has dwinded until II amounted
to but little as a labor organization.
When its secretary demanded the store
card from Michaelson Bros. during the
last week, the proprietor just laughed
in his face, and told him to take it II he
was big enough.
The May company virtually owned
the Clerks union. and through the in
fluence the company welded in its af-
fairs il became staenant, and not serving
the purpose for which II was formed
the members saw little use for its ex-
istence. and they quit paying dues.
But the retail clerks quickly took on
new life Monday morning when the
Trades Assembly organizer walked into
the May company store and asked the
proprietor TO have access TO all employees
at all hours and asked further that the
management insist that all clerks be
come affiliated with the Retail Clerks
organization.
This order was given to the head of
every department by the manager and
before noon twenty men in the MAY
store had paid their initiation fee and
union. There are yet few men in the
May store who have not made up their
minds whether they will join or look for
a new job where they may indulge in
the Independence" that goes with the
open shop the wide world over.
At Michaelson Bros 1t was about the
same as at the May. When this firm
found that the Trades Assembly was
looking into their open-shop store they
also hurried TO get their clerks into the
organization. Six Joined at once, and
more will follow.
At the NJ. D. Barnett store three Joined
Monday morning.
This was the first day out and when
the business places closed in the even
ing over thirty had given their applica-
tons. 1t is believed that when the cam
paign closes at least 100 new members
will have joined the clerks union.
It is the intention OF Organizer Mum
to extend the organization work into
every store in Denver. This is the life
that should be injected into every or
ganization in the city. Denver needs or
sanization work badly,

Taking the entertainment as a whole,
it was great success, and although no
definite statement can be made at this
time, it is known that several hundred
dollars will be cleared. Hundreds of

other hundreds were gwen out for sale.

was a blow to Enright, who was conf
dent of acquittal.
Notice of an appeal was Immediately
taken by Enright's lawyers. The muir
der for which Enright was found guilty
was committed in a Chicago hotel on
March % and the climax to long series
OF violent quarrels between the friends
OF the two Steamfitters' organizations.
Altman's assailant escaped. though there
were two score or more persons at the
bar when the crime was committed. En-
right subsequently gave himself up,
learning he was under suspicion. In the
legal battle that followed Enright ad-
mitted that he killed William Dutch
Gentleman, but denied AItman's murder.

numbers OF men who came out on strike.

QUEER BREAD OF THE eEDoUINs.

While nearing the station Gt Maan. on the Mecca railway, en route to Perta in November. large strange looking heaps were seen near typical desert well. around which some Bedouins were gathered and encamped On investigation these proved to be heaps of samh bread, the fOoG of the desert Bedouins." writes Deputy Con sul General Whiting from Jerusalem The samh is small plant which grows wild, the Bedouins say, all over the desert plateau east of Maan. where nothing is cultivated, there being in sufficient rain for any grain to grow. The first arabic land we encountered. with a moderate rainfall. was after six or seven hours ride west of Maan.
 "The natives stated that some years the samh is more plentiful than others, especially when a generous amount of rain falls in the mountain districts in the west. in which case it is likely that the samh districts receive a small share thereof.
 "The plants grow close together. with short stems like lentils. The EedOuins pull it up by hand and flail with q stick which removes the small seed pods. These are then taken to the wells. and holes from the size of a bathtuO up are

The seed pods are thrown into these holes in small quantities and stirred mp by the women with sticks and their bare feet The action of the water opens the pods, the seeds fall to the bottom. while the hulls float. OnIv about ten minutes in the water are re quired to open and separate them. The hulls are then skinned off and the operation repeated.

TRADITION AND CULTURE.

That the Boston tradition of cul- ture still persists is proved by the following account of things from the Bellman. Minnesota weekly The new Boston will hardly be more ia miliar with what is here set forth than the western readers. but will re joice none the less in the light of the fame Of the older days. and be glad to know why she is still the intel lectual glory of her country.
 By the rest of the American world. Boston has for nearly three cen turies been regarded as center of light and learning, and her inhabi- tants have been depicted by pens. either sympathetic. or eXasperated. or merely humorous, as possessing some what more than normal share of education usually combined with a singularly polysyllabic vocabulary. All this iS due to the fact that no other city in the country has. from it's be- sinuingS. been so officially concerned with education.
 In 1856 the Great and General Court of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay" appointed twelve of the most
 
 order for college at \ewtown'' tCambrdgcD. Six years later the same general court established a board of oVerseers'' for Harvard. consisting of the governor and deputy governor and all the magistrates of this jurisdiction, together with the teaching elders of the six adjoining towns" In 17S0 the General Court of the Commonwealth of MasSa- chuSetts'' determined that the gov ernor, lieutenant governor. council and senate of this commonwealth are and shall he deemed their successors. who, with the president of Harvard college for the time being. together with the ministers of the Congrega tional churches in the towns of Cam bridge. Watertown, Charlestown. Bos- ton. RoXbury and Dorchester shall be the overseers of Harvard college" The entire board became elective in 1865
 Thus for nearly two centuries a considerable proportion of the public men of Boston and Massachusetts were officially members of The Hon. orable and Reverend the Board or OVerSeers of Harvard College" and at least once d year attended in state the commencement exercises. where they listened benignantly to Latin Orations and dsquisitions. Com mencement was, and still is. a state ceremony Even today I can feel juvenile thrill when, at 9:3O on a June morning, His EXcellency the Governor" and His Honor the Lieu tenant Governor" escorted by a troop of scarlet coated Lancers arrive at the west gate of the college. a mount ed orderly with the white flag of the commonwealth riding beside the gov ernOr's coach. and-four. When they subsequently march to Memorial hall. the venerable sheriffs of AiiddleseN and Suffolk leading the way. re- splendent in blue frock coats, swords with white leather belts. and white cotton gloves, l am inclined to feel that no one can ever hope wholly to understand the ideals of old Boston who has not himself taken part in this grave and seemly annual cere- money. It is difficult to imagine such an academic function taking in New York or IllinOis-Or, in fact. anywhere else in America.
