WORK PROGRESSING ON
DOLORES IRRIGATION PROJECT

Another step toward construction
has been taken by the promoters Of
the Dolores irrigation project. They
have just filed all right of way maps,
notes, ETC., for the proposed system
with the land office. As a portion Of
the reservoir site conflicts with the
Montezums National forest reserve it
was also necessary to make these fill

the filings entail very heavy expense

CLAIMS THAT SHOPMEN WERE
COERCED TO SIGN PROTESTS

DENVER, March 27.--That some
of the railroads are using the "you-
may-lose-your-job" threat to coerce
their shopmen to sign petitions
against the full crew and headlight
bills now pending was charged by C.
w. Hosman of the legislative COM
mittee of the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen.
Besides, for the first time in the
history Of such fights. the roads are
sending superintendent and master
mechanics around with these petit
tions,' said Hosman. Before they
have always prevailed upon foremen
to do this kind Of work for them, but
this time they are using their higher
officials.
MANY Of the shopmen argue that
they have no interest in either Of the
bills but they are commanded to sign
the petition just the same, under the
Doubt threat Of having their trans
portation taken away from them and
possibly losing their jobs.
"Sinee the majority Of the shop
men are unorganized and many Of
them have families, the poor fellows
feel compelled to sign the petitions
against these measures.
at is cowardly and absurd to take
advantage Of these men in the shops,
who are not even as much interested
in these bills personally as are whole
lot OF people who have never worked
on a railroad but who do . good bit
o. travelling.
"If the roads want to swing their
transportation and job clubs over US
trainmen who are directly interested
and also organized let 'em 60 to It'll"
The headlight bill was amended by
the house Saturday to exempt all
roads Of sixteen miles or under. This
exemption was opposed as making for
class legislation and liable to inter-
fere with the working of the bill. This
amendment will exempt the Silverton
railway and two or three other short
lines of which Otto Mears, a mem
Der of the capitol managers, is presi-
dent and in at least one Of which Rep
resentative Slattery has an interest.

The Lending of money TO farmers or
longtime payments is good business
policy. As has been pointed out more
than once, the farmer is at great
disadvantage in the one particular of
getting capital to carry on his bust
ness. Credit facilities are demanded
that will meet his needs. No private
system does this His particular ne
cessity is longtime loans at a low
rate Of interest.
In New Zealand money is lent al
5 per cont to be repaid in forty semi
annual payments. Such a system
makes It possible for the farmer, in
case Of bad year, to borrow the small
amount necessary to make his pay.

general welfare Of the miners and
their families by requiring sanitary,
safe and healthful working conditions,
living wages, reasonable hours of
work and other advantages giving the
men fair chance to maintain respec-

their children a just and equal op-
rertunity for schooling and enable the
men and their families to enjoy need

"2. To conserve the coal supply OF
the state by requiring the operators

tracts for coal without fesr Of labo

their signed agreement with the min

legitimate profit upon their output O
