Denver, Colo, Nov. 20.-The early
opening of whirlwind campaign to
force Colorado mine owners to recognize
organized labor was promised here to-
day by officials Of the miners union.
The Colorado union were temporarily
broken as sequel to the widespread
strikes of few years ago, but re-or-
ganization work has been in progress
for some time. Strikes ensued, first in
the northern and then in the southern
Colorado coal fields.
These have shown tendency to drag
on indefinitely, with the owners still
refusing to recognize unionism, though
badly crippled in the operation of their
mines, militia in the field and the min
ers steadfast in their determination not
to resume work until their demands are
granted, but apparently making no pro
gress in their fight.
1t was to inject more life into the
mems side Of the struggle that the
coming campaign was planned.
Mass Meeting and Parade.

The much-heralded voting machine
has arrived and is in position at the
county court house for the inspection
Of both city and county officials. The
machine was officially demonstrated
this Afternoon at / o'clock, and it
proved to- be a speedy device for cast.
ing votes, as operated by the two ex.

With seven of thesS machines in ser.
vice in the seven wards in Salem, the
saving to the taxpayers will be $4OO
over the cost for the first year, declares
the representatives, and the cost of Ma
rion county two third portion Of seven
machines will be $4,000.
"To comply with the election laws 20
precincts will have to be made, which
are different from city wards, and
cause great confusion Seven precincts
same as city wards will be sufficient,
with machines" is the argument made
for the machines.
"When precincts are divided this
fall the 1000 voters now registered will
have to be notified by letter to re.
register in their new precinct, which
causes endless confusion and expense.
IL 20 precincts are made it will cause

The supreme court this morning,
among other opinions handed down, de.
cided the status of the Workmen Is
Compensation bill, holding that it does
not go into effect SO far as its benefits
are concerned until June 80, 1914. The
opinion was written by Justice Burnett
and Justices Moore and Ealsin did not
sit.
To get a decision of the matter a
friendly suit was brought by the Salem
hospital, which brought mandamus pro-
ceedings against Secretary of State Oh
colt to compel him to issue warrnnt
for small hospital bill contracted on
the order Of the Workmen $ commission.
In substance the opinion says, after
quoting the following section of the
constitution:
Any measure referred to the people
shall take effect and become law
when it is approved by the votes cast
thereon, and not otherwise" "
No Benefits Until June 80.
The law went into effect November a,
when the polls closed, but the law says
every workman shall have its benefit
after June 30, following the law going
into effect, unless he elects otherwise.
