by the splendid grazing possibilities
which he saw, he camped right there,
taking up n homestead tract, His

that many entries by Ute Indians have
already been made, and many more
will be made on the arrival of the 1900
or 400 redskins who will come in. Spe

these Indians and their squaws, and es-
pecial and generous prizes are offered
for their exhibits.

GOVERNOR To FORCE
SIDES To ARB|TRATE
Iowa Law, Patterned After Can
adian Disputes Act, to
Become Effective.

OSKALOOSA, Iowa, Nov. 27.-Un-
der the new state law. whereby the
state is authorized to become the
mediator in any industrial dispute, ef-
forts are to be made to settle the
street car strike now in progress at
Oskaloosa.
Under the statute the governor
must notify the owners Of the prop
erty and the striking employees that a.
request has been received urging ar
bitration Of the dispute. The gov
ernor will ask each side to submit the
names Of five men who may be con-
sldered eligible to serve on the arbi-
tration board and one man from each
list will be appointed and the two
will select a third.
If either side fails to submit a list
the governor will select represen-
tative for it. Under the law the COM
mtssioners are empowered to make an
investigation and issue a public re-
port. If either side or both request
it the commission will make recon-
mendations as to how. wthe trouble
should be settled.
This law takes the form of COM
pulsory investigation, and only one
step further would come compulsory
arbitration.

DENVER TYPOS SHOW

Papers Consolidate and Throw
Fifty Men Out of Jobs.
How Union Helped.

DENVER, Nov. 27.-The recent
consolidation, of newspapers in this
city created q situation which the To-
cal Typographical union met in an
effective manner. These consolida-
tions had the effect of abolishing the
positions of approximately so men.
In the emergency the local Typo.
graphical union passed a five-day
law, whereby all union printers hold
ing situations are to work but five
days in any one week, thus giving an
opportunity for those who have lost
their positions through the consoli-
dation and the dullness in the book
and job branch, to secure at least a
little work.
In addition to this the union has
authorized its executive officers to
furnish each member who desires to
leave the city sum not to exceed
$50, thus giving those who desire to
look for work in other cities an oppor-
tunity to do 80. 2,
This provision, however, applies
only to those whose cards were depos-
tied with the union prior to the date
on which this offer was made. This
action on the part of the union print
ers Is merely indicative, of the fra
ternity and good will which exists
in the organized labor movement.

It is to be great Industrial institu-
tion in which great state will man.

This unique, arresting experiment,
which penologists declare, forecast an
earth-wide revolution in the practical
treatment of criminals, is to have it's
start in Ohio. Gov. Cox is sponsor
for adopting the great idea-an idea
which was born in the head and heart
of Rev. Harris r. Cooley, director of
Cleveland charities under Tom L.
Johnson.
In this kind of penitentiary the
"prisoners'' will sleep in white iron
beds-NOT IN CELLS!
They will work outside without any
guards.
They will go to school to learn the
interesting things they have never
heard Of!
They will be taught trades so when
they leave they can earn an honest

They will get exercise, medical at

For any man who approaches the
prison question in the spirit of the

failure of it is the old-time method of
dealing with the so-called criminals-

CANCELS INSURANCE:
DURING |! TAXI STRIKE
Strange Revelations Made in Bat
tie By Philadelphia Taxi
Drivers.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27.-The
strike of union taxi drivers, who are
backed by the International Brother
hood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, etc., Is
making good progress. One large
company, the American Taxicab COM
pany, has signed up with the union
and granted the wage scale of $3.50
per day.
Heretofore, the pay was 20 per cent
of all the driver took in, but he was
compelled to pay numerous expenses,
such as gasoline and other inciden-
tails, which reduced his earning power
below the point Of a living wage. Two
other companies are believed to be
upon the point of settlement, while
other companies refuse to employ
strike breakers.
1t is stated that the detective agen.
cy has a number of men ready to take
the places Of the union men whenever
called upon, but another feature has
entered into the controversy which Is
favorable to the union men. The in
surance companies have taken a hand
In the strike and warned the owners
that the insurance on their machines
stands Cancelled so long as the strike
continues.
There is another interesting side to
this controversy. 1t has been brought
to light that the railroads and the
large hotels at which there are regu-
lar cab stands, exact a fiat 10 per cent
of all receipts from passengers who
apply for vehicles at their respective
stands. thus capitalizing their instf-
tutlons at the expense of the cab COM
panies.
The companies are apparently will
ing to pay this price when they are
permitted to deduct it from the SAL
ary of their chauffeurs and cab
drivers
