SHORT ON BR0THERLY LOVE
Luckily William Had Grace Enough to
Remember That Henry
Was Sacred.

William was not kind to his small
brother Henry; in fact. he looked upon
him as a nuisance, a scourge sent from
heaven to try his spirit and spoil his
fun. Especially that day was Henry
thorn in the older boys flesh. In his
efforts to rid himself of his burden,
William resorted to all the methods
the mind of youth suggested. but, in
vain. Henry continued to stick as
close. ii not closer, than brother.

William made no reply; but short

free of surveillance, he was heard to
address Henry thus: Always taggin
after me. lf.you weren't sacred I'd

Before Strike Is Off
FRANK HAYES MAKES SPEECH
AT PROGRESSIVE MEETING.
Miners in Southern Colorado Have
Been Subjected to a State Of
Peonaae, He Says.

Before an audience that crowded -.
ordinary of the Brown Palace hotel
Tuesday night. Frank J. Hayes, vice
president OF the United Mine Work
ers OF America, made forceful deci.i-
ration of the principles for which she
striking coal miners are contending in
Colorado. The meeting was held un-
der auspices OF the Progressive party.
which has undertaken to get at the
root of the existing industrial unrest.
Archibald a. Lee presided and adj
dresses were made by Edward z. Cos
tigan. Progressive candidate for gov
ernor last fall. and DIR. John Grass.
The latter inroduced series of reso-
the line pursued by President Roose-
welt in the Pennsylvania anthracite
coal strike. Miss Frances Keller,
head of the Progressive national serv-
ice work, also made n brief address.
Hayes told the audience that 450,-
600 union coal miners In North Amer
lea would stand by their brothers in
Colorado until complete recognition of
the union was gained. regardless of
the cost. He said miners in the
Southern Colorado fields received
harsher treatment and worked under
worse conditions than any other
miners In the United States. He re-
cited many of his personal expert
ences In the southern camps. Hayes
declared all the miners were contend
ing for was provided by Colorado law,
but the operators recognized no law.
The miners of southern Colorado
have been treated as poems and
slaves. slaughtered as sheep" said
Hays. I'VE will never return until
we return as free men: we will never
surrender in southern Colorado coun-
ties until We have the rights of citi-
zenship. Paid assassins have been
brought in from Pennsylvania to kill
many union sympathizers. Even in
death the operators could not forget
their bitterness. sent the secretary
of the local union to Dawson. N. NJ,

by the operators than the life of the

up their lives in rescue work, yet they

were expert rescue men from ranks
of the Trinidad strikers who had

Poisa They were buried under an
avalanche of falling rock and debris,
after working thirty six hours with
eight companions exploring every re
cess of the underground workings.
Many of the bodies taken from the
mine were so disfigured that they
could not be identified by relatives or
friends. So greedy was the company
to get its product on the market by
reason of the prevailing high price of
coal on account of the Colorado strike,
that men were hustled into the mine
to resume operations before all the
dead bodies had been removed. Fires
were still burning in some parts of
the mine and there was said to be
danger of another catastrophe. But
what matters human life so long as
the owners get the money.
