This decision was made by the SUI
preme court of Colorado on request Of
the state senate on motion of Senator S.
s. Bellesfeld, a member of Pueblo Typo
graphical union 1t was desired by the
state senate to determine what could be
done to get miners eight-hour law
The legislature of two years ago passed
a miners eight-hour law, known as the
Hurd law, and this was made imperative
by being referred to the referendum by
the mine owners. Then the mine opera
tors initiated a miners eight-hour law
which was not near so good as the legis-
lative measure. Both these measures
were voted upon by the people in No
vember, and both measures caxr1ed-
Each measure carried clause repeating
all legislation in conflict herewith 1t
was on these measures that the Supreme
court was asked to pass. The court de-
cided that both measures had passed and
that both were laws; and it also decided
that the legislature could repeal any
measure passed by the people. There
fore the legislature has the power to re-
peal the law initiated by the NINE opera
tors. and in order to do so Senator
Bellesield had introduced a bill to re
peal the initiated measure
The Bellesfield measures was called
up Tuesday at IL o'clock. and was passed
on first reading. This action followed
the decision of the Supreme court The
Bellesfield bill repeals the initiated min
ers' eight-hour law and allows the Hurd
bill to stand The measure bringing
..iis result carries the saving clause
preventing it from being referred. and
therefore no action can be taken
against the measure until the regular
state election. nearly two years hence.
The measure is a platform pledge and
is almost sure to become q law.
There is one thing about the measure
that is attracting more than the usual
interest and that is that steel works
are not included in the measure This
provision eliminates the great plant or
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company. at
Pueblo, and makes the eight-hour law
operative in smelters on adjoining
property to the steel mills. It is be-
lieved that thise who are protecting the
steel mills in the Pueblo delegation will
be forced to show their hands in the
near future for legislation will be de-
manded to cover the U. S. Steel corpor-
alton plant.

State Senator S. S. Bellesneld is likely
to be the next postmaster of Pueblo. He
announced his candidacy for the position
this week. The appointment of the
Pueblo postmaster probably will be the
first plum the Democrats of Colorado

of Democratic president.
The Pueblo postmastership is among
those appointments which have been
held up by the United States senate.
N. S. Walpole. present postmaster OF

And the child mind choked with weeds,

And the fathers heart that bleeds,
