Trinidad, Colo-As a climax Of an
Afternoon of impassioned speech-mak.
Ing, $50 delegates to the socalled
United Mine Workers convention OF
Colorado voted unanimously to call a
strike in the southern district Septem-
ber 23. The convention then adjourned
amid storm of cheers and singing.
While the action of the convention
was expected in all quarters, 1t was
hardly believed that those present
would work themselves into such a
fever of enthusiasm. They shouted,
danced about the room, vowed ven
geance on the operators and pledged
themselves to stay with the strike un-
til they won cor dropped into their
graves"
The resolution calling for the strike
was included in the report of the pol
icy and scale committee, and was as
follows:
I'm view of the failure of our efforts
to obtain a peaceful solution of our
differences, and in view of the fact
that the operators have even refused
to answer any of our invitations for a
joint meeting. we hereby instruct that
a strike call be issued by the district
policy committee to all the Mine
Workers of Colorado to take effect
Tuesday, September 90. 1913.
At the same time was presented the
report of the policy and scale commit
tee. The report of this committee.
after setting forth the manner in
which the demands of the union have
been ignored. submit the following as
a basis of settlement:
First-Recognition of the union.
Second = Ten per cent advance in
wages and tonnage rates (the gradu-
ated scale on day wages, practically In
accordance with the Wyoming wage
scale) and 10 per cent advance in
wages of coke oven workers.
Third--An eight-hour working day
for all classes of labor in or around
the coal mines and at the coke ovens.
Fourth-Pay for all narrow and dead
work. which includes brushing. timber
, ing, removing falls, handling impur-
tiles.
Fifth-Check weighman at all mines
to be elected by the miners without
interference by company officials in
said election.
Sixth-The right to trade at any
store we please and the right to choose
our own boarding place and our own
doctors.
Seventh-The enforcement of the
Colorado mining law and the abolition
Of the notorious and criminal guard
system which has prevailed in the
mining camps of Colorado for many
years.
Reading of these reports was pre-
ceded by an impassioned address by
Mother Jones, who worked the dele
gates into frenzy by long speech
on the "downtrodden labor man" as
she saw him.
Following the report of the commit
tee on policy, Frank ]. Hayes also
made an address in which he indorsed
the action of the convention.

shot of a Negro father with his three
pickaninnies gazing at the Christmas
show window of Phillips & Buttorffs
so brilliantly, electrically illumi

trast on the back ground Of the
darkened store after closing time.
A true lover of Art and Nature
stops and amazedly studies the
flashing eyes and interested smile on
the faces of the little coons.
The proud Father, thankful for
even this little attention to his off
spring, speaks unlimited:
1T HAVE BEEN HARD AT WORK
ALL DAY, BOSS, but there was
nothing to it, these kids had to
make me bring them to see the

This is just one reason why Santa

synonymous.
