MINERS WIN TWO YEARS
STRIKE m COLORADO

- IL -
Denver, March Is. The two years.
strike Of the northern Colorado coal
miners against the American Fuel
company and lesser operators was
ended when the company granted ev-
cry demand for which the men made
such gallant fight.
Every concession asked by the mi
ners was granted, even the uniform
SCALE" for which they have been
fighting during the last ten years.
The operators surrendered every
thing and entered into a two years.
contract with the miners.
IN Effect ct Once.
The s per cent increase over the
1903" day wage scale, and in de-
mand for which the men walked out
two years ago, is to go into effect
at once, as well as an increase Of 8
cents per ton on run Of mine over
the present Louisville scale-S95z
cents.
The agreement was ratified last
night by the union miners in Lafay-
cite and Louisville, and 300 miners
will return to work Wednesday. One
thousand others will be reinstated
within the next ten days. The agree
ment was indorsed by the men in
Marshall and. Erie this morning.
Although the Rocky Mountain Fuel
company and the National Fuel COM
pany have not entered into the COM
pact, 1t Is expected that the action Of
the American company win force
them into similar recognition Of the
union sooner or later.
April 1, 1910, q general demand of
SIS per cent on all work was made
by the international wage committee
of the union workers. Colorado was
the only place where this increase
was refused.
Cost Nearly Million
The cost of the warfare, beside
untold hardships, privations and hu'
initiation on the part of the miners,
has cost each side nearly 100000.
The mines operated by the Amer
.ueruea Gun ere Husdmoo Ien,4 ueoI
NAL, Matchless and Electric, at
Louisville; the Capitol and Senator,
at Lafayette; the Fox, at Marshall;
the State, at Erie, and the Evans, at
Frederick. They now have, q capaci-
ty Of 1000 tons a day, but this will
be increased to 5000 tons.
If uniform scale is agreed to by
the other companies. they will be re-
quired to advance their wages in
many cases much more than the ad
vances given by the American Fuel
company.
Under the Louisville scale the old
prices paid ranged from 1914 cents
ton for loading after machines,
68 % cents ton for pick work. I'm
der the uniform scale agreement, 3
cents is added for all this work. IN
der the 1908 scale, day wages ranged
from $3.50 fro nremen to $3.50 for
machine runners. A great majority
received SO day. To them the new
agreement will mean a daily increase
Of Is cents.
ovations were given to Frank
Smith, John r. Lawson and William
Crawford at Louisville and Lafayette
last night when the agreement was
submitted for ratification.

and at IS, As cents at %. so cents at
80, So cents at So, 50 cents at 40.
and 65 cents at As, while in the step
rate plan the rate, ages Is to 80,
inclusive, is S5 cents per thousand
and gradually increases until the
rate reaches 81 per thousand per
month at age 55. By the adoption of
these plans of insurance. the young
man who so desires may obtain the
greatest possible amount of insurance
at the smallest possible outlay, dur
ing the period when his family needs
the greatest protection.

SUGGESTION TO B. Or I.

Wheeling, W. Va. March IL, 1917
Editor Majority:
Dear sir:-
We note with much interest the
commendable efforts OF the Board of
Trade to reorganize and inject into
their organization little of the Billy
Sunday spirit Of push and progress,
evidencing an intention of keeping
business affairs lined up with the
spiritual advancement OF the people.
Through Billy's live WORK, Wheeling's
opportunities excel those of any other
city in the Ohio Valley, and the Board
of Trade has evidently awakened from
their Rip Van Wrinkle sleep to con-
scieHtiousness of change of methods
needed to place our city in the lead as
an Industrial center. Their PROPOSE
ton to associate with them represent
tatives of Local industries and trades
insures cooperation sure to bring
success. If we are to retain and ex-
tend our Industrial System. it must be
through cooperative work.
We might illustrate through conai-
tons affecting the Stogie Industry of
our city, one of the important assets
of our industrial advantages, forty-two
factories with leading conditions and
steady employment, production Of
wealth to stimulate general business,
valuable aids to the Internal Revenue
Department calculated to impress the
casual observer with the opinion that
Wheeling would be an ideal location
for additional stogie plants. Would In
vestigation confirm that impression?
Would the prospective money invss-
tor feel encouraged when he visited
our Local Jobbers and found such a
small per cent OF HOME PRODUCT
in stock? This he would universally
find; while some of our stogie manu-
facturers are members of the Board
of Trade, their presence, investments
in business, manifestation Of interest
in general welfare has not been prop
erly appreciated through the onl chan
mel available, patronage and influence
ed to create demand. If the influence
of our jobbers should be exercised in
behalf of our Stogie Industry, we
would soon be blessed with business
revival that would mean prosperity to
the fullest extent.
We would say to the Board Of Trade,
carry out your contemplated changes
Of methods. Take into your councils
representatives of Organized Labor,
thus securing an interested. active and
intelligent element that will in time
be considered valuable accessories.
The question OF procuring an increase
of funds is more easily solved than
the most effective methods of disburse
ment of same after its procured. Be-
fore we publish broadcast our mani
fold advantages, let's see to 1t that
we really possess them.

By the time they reached the governors cot tage they had accumulated nearly 1000 followers and a brass band.

 John Franklin Fort former governor of New Jersey and now a Roosevelt supporter, called to pay his compli- ments.
 How will Governor Wilson's nom ination affect the third party?' he was asked by the reporters "A fine day. isn't it2' he replied
 The Central Railroad Of New ter sey and the Pennsy lvania each ran a special train to Sea Girt to convey Governor Wilson to Baltimore if ha wished to go there, or anywhere else. for that matter the conductors said.
 The trains were still standing at the station with steam popping from the locomotives safety valves at late hour. Governor Wilson said he was not going to Baltimore.

 A series of resolutions praising Bal simore, Mayor Preston, the police and fire departments. the hotels, and prac- tically everything else in Baltimore, were put through.
 The delegates grew restless and Alex D. Pitts of Mississippi yelled: "The regular orderi"

Clark DOdgGS
 Second Place
SPEAKER IRRITATED AT PER-
 sIsTENcE OF FRIENDS.
SAYS HE IS NOT MAD
But Feels He is More at Home in House Than in Senate-PIedges His Support to Governor Wilson.

Washington, July 2-Defeated after a hard battle, but satisfied with the fortunes of war. Speaker Clark re- turned to the capitol from the conven- ton city tonight and repaired tO his office to thunder his renunication or the vice presidency over the telephone as often as it was suggested to him. The speaker motored back from Bal timore, where he spent the day at the Baltimore club with his son Bennett. He took dinner with his family and later issued statement pedgng his support to Governor Wilson and voic- ing his contempt for the tactics of Will liam Jennings Bryan, whom he credits with his defeat The speaker seemed the least affected of his family over the defeat.
 Has Had a Harder Fight.
 This was not near so hard a fight as I had to get my first nomination to congress- said the speaker, com menting over the result.
 He had no complaint to make of the final break, but said that victory could have been his had the Underwood forces helped him on the tenth ballot and thereafter.
 He said Senator Bankhead merely preCipitated the inevitable. He seemed relieved that the strain was over and that he could retire from political ac- ! tivity for a few weeks.
 Would Not Accept Vice Presidency,
 In the most emphatic terms the Speaker disclaimed any desire to be ! vice president He referred to the nomination of Thomas A. Hendricks for the office, and said it took the dem ocratic party a week to prevail on him ! to accept it.
 ! Speaker Clark said he would not run | under any circumstances T am not mad" he said "but the | vice presidency does not fit me. l am a rough and tumble debater l am more at home in the house I would | rather be a member of that body than | tied down in a chamber in which l am | powerless to participate"
 FruitIess Effort to Induce Him to Rur Diligent effort was made by the l leaders in Baltimore to convince Mir , Clark that he should accept the vice | presidential nomination and it was tC escape the importuning Of his friend. that he returned Co Washington. W orc 1 was conveyed to him that Mir. Bryar desired to nominate him and that tho nomination would be made by accla- nation. To all Mir. Clark gave the same reply. and when he heard thai the nomination was being considered in spite of his refusal he displayed some temper.
 Tell those people over there I wit not take that nomination. he instruct ed the Associated Press when told oi the persistence of the movement.
 q Won't Have It, He Said.

coming out strongly against MT. Par ker for temporary chairman was the turning point in his campaign. The country is progressive. Nearly all of the democratic party and more than half of the republican party are pro- gressive.
 ''The paramount question before this convention was whether we would take sides with the reactionaries and thus encourage the organization of a third party and giving to the third party the hope of defeating the reac- tionaries divided into two parties, this OF the one side, and on the other the nomination of a ticket that would so appeal to the progressive element of the nation as to make a third party improbable.
 T am satisfied that with MT. Wilson running for president on this platform which has been prepared there will be comparatively few progressive repub llcans who will not feel justified in supporting the democratic ticket. If were to make an estimate I would say that we ought to have not less than 10000 majority of the popular vote and enough of the electoral vote to give Us an overwhelming majority in the electoral college.
 ln6 dCllOu Ol tue cOuNeullDu III adopting the anti Morgan Ryan Bel mont resolutions has demonstrated that the democratic party is not only progressive but Is bold enough to throw down the gauntlet to the preda- tory interests. It is fortunate that Mir. Wilson's nomination was made with out the aid Of MT. Murphy. It is no reflection upon the many good men in the New York delegation to say this. From every standpoint the outlook is hopeful The only unpleasant thing about political fight Is that success to one aspirant brings disappointment to others. Those who fail ought to find some consolation in the fact that failure Is not always a reflection upon the individual, because circumstances exert larger influence than is some times supposed in the determining of a | convention choice. Men are only available when they fit into condi- | tions."
