COAL COMPANIES
ARE CRITICISED
Colorado Federal Grand Jury
Returns Report.
JUST CAUSE FOR UNREST

Mine Owners Sufficiently Influential
to Nominate, Elect and Control
Many County Officers, compIicating
the Situation by Arousing Political
Prejudice.
Pueblo, Colo, Dec. 3.-Actions OF
the mine owners in the district where
men are on strike were severely criti
cised in report made by the federal
grand jury which returned indict-
ments against several officials of the
United Mine Workers of America.
According to the report of the grand
jury the coal companies have been
sufficiently influenced to nominate,
elect and control many county officers,
and have done so, with the result of
complicating the industrial situation
by arousing political prejudice. The
report says:
somewhat remiss in endeavoring to Sc
cure and hold the good will of their
employees, and the grand jury deduced
from testimony that there existed rea.
sonable grounds for many of the
| grievances complained of by the min
ers. We believe that many of these
complaints are substantial and have
merit"
The grand jury found that the state
laws have not been SO enforced as to
| give all persons concerned the bene
| fits which are derived therefrom.
System of Espionage.
MANY camp marshals, whose ap
| pointments and salaries are controlled
by coal companies, have exercised a
| system of espionage and have resort
| ed to arbitrary powers of police con
troll, acting in capacity of Judge and
jury, and passing sentence upon min
ers who had incurred the enmity oi
the superintendent or pit boss for hav
ing complained of real grievances, OF
for other causes. These, taken will
brutal assaults by camp marshals
upon miners, have produced genera
dissatisfaction among the miners, who
fear generally to complain of rea
grievances because of danger of theil
discharge"
In connection with mine owned sa
looms the report said: Many of th'
coal companies maintain camp sa
looms and collect from the keepers o
such saloons per capita sum OK 2
to 40 cents per month for each persol
whose name appears upon the CON
pany payroll. Many camp saloons ar
open after midnight and on Sunday
contrary to the state law. Over on
saloon there has fioated for years tn
red flag of anarchy, with an ope
knife fastened to the flag. This So
loon Is a rendezvous for anarchists
and many crimes are chargeable to it

but said that the rebel advance to
ward Mexico City would continue
briskly.
At Capital Within Month.
1--WE will be shooting at the ram
parts Of Mexico City within a month,
Villa said. I'VE are confident tha
when the people In the capital realize

which they are now afraid to do, ant
will clamor for the downfall of thu

Building Operations for March.

Official returns of building operations
as compiled by the American Contractor
from fifty-six cities for the month of

ed as a satisfactory showing in this
month of unparalleled floods. Activities,
however, have not been uniform through
out the country. Cities showing gains of
so per cent or more over March last year
are as follows: Buffalo, 234; Chicago, 81;
Cleveland. 100; Dallas, 142; Duluth, 81;
Los Angeles, 80; Milwaukee, 50; Nash
Vile, 14S; st. Joseph, $50; st. Paul. 112;

per cent are New Haven. "a; Paterson,
So: Pittsburgh, 81; Portland, 81; Roches-
ter, 81.
For the first quarter of the year the
showing is very favorable, the total max
ing a. gain of per cent over the first
quarter of 1912. The most notable gains
for January, February and March were

RECENT CORNER SALE
ATTRACTS WIDE NOTICE
Purchase of Property on Ave-
nue. at 18th Street Com
mented On.

The closing Of the transaction during
the week by which the property at the
northwest corner Of Pennsylvania avenue
and 18th street northwest changed hands,
was matter of a good deal Of interest.
This was mainly due to the fact that it
is an important Avenue corner, and as
property on that thoroughfare seldom
figures in the record of current trans
actions it attracted more than the usual
degree of attention.
AS the purchaser of the property, Lem
Towers, jr., is the head Of the James
Y. Davis Company that occupies the
main portion of the building, no change
will be made in the uses of the prop
erty. The improvement consists Of
two-story building which covers the en-
tire lot that extends to an alley. Owing
to the shape Of the lot the proportion of
frontages on both streets to the total
area is exceptional.
There are only S95 square feet, but the
property extends along Pennsylvania ave-
nue. a little over thirty-three feet and
on 18th street 40 feet. The price paid
was $4225, which maintains the level Of
recent values in that locality.
