Washington.-Presiden Joseph F. Val
entine of the International Molders'
Union of North America, in a letter just
received at headquarters, states that rep
resentatives of the Stove Founders Ma
tional Defense association have just con-
cluded conference lasting a week. The
Iron Moders' representatives in this
conference were making an effort to
reach a settlement with reference to an
advanced scale of wages. The stove
founders representatives were opposed
to granting any increase over the pres
ent scale. However, the iron molders
were finally successful in securing a 5
per cent advance over the present scale,
which will be put into effect on January
l next, and continue during the year. A
number of other concessions were also
secured, which will be exceedingly help
full to the iron molders. This advance
affects approximately $4,000 members
directly and many more indirectly. This
is a trade union victory. achieved by
trade union methods, backed by trade
union ability and business acumen.

Homestake people have a shaft 1,600
feet deep on either side of his property.
and that when at the bottom of the shaft
on his claim, which is about GOO feet at
present, the rumbling sound of cars can
be heard beneath. McHugh declared
that as soon as he reached the 1,600-foot
level there would be something doing"
and the Homestake people compelled,
through the courts, to give a map Of
their workings

Trades Assembly and answered many
questions to the satisfaction of the dele
gates. He is endeavoring to sell the

AMERICAN FUEL COMPANY TO GET
SUPPORT OF MINERS.

The war that is being waged by the
Rocky Mountain Fuel company, the
American Fuel company, and the Ma
tional for supremacy in the Northern
Colorado coal camps has resulted in "a
reduction of so cents a ton on the lower
grades of coal in Boulder county. 1t is
admitted that the cut in rates may soon
reach Denver and the consumer get the
benefit.
A cut of a dollar a ton in Denver is
looked for in some quarters as result
of the war. 1t may bring coal down to
81 ton, where it was before the strike
started and before the companies raised
the price to help pay the losses they in
Cured because of the battle with the
union.
Representatives of nearly every local
of the United Mine Workers in the dis
trict met in Denver this week and de.
cided to give the American Fuel com.
pany all the support necessary in its
fight against the companies that employ
non-union men. If necessary, the min
ers will, it is said, give their services
free to the American Fuel company in
order to prevent the companies employ
ing non-union labor from wrecking the
American company by cutting the price
of coal.
Don't forget that the American Fuel
company asks for the support of every
union man and woman in the city in this
fight.
