Trades Assembly
Meeting a Benefit
to Those Present


The meeting of the Trades As
sembly held last night was attended
by a goodly number, and a good time
had. The usual routine of business
was transacted. Considerable enthu-
siasm over the Label League was
manifested all through the evening.
Talks by G. +. Parker, Ounce Hut
ton and Al Kennison were given the
closest attention by the delegates.
These talks developed the fact that
there are good many merchants
and a good many union men who are
unable to locate the label The
buttons and paraphernalia of both the
Clerks Union and Label League are
expected here at any time-and how
either can fail to benefit the people
OF Grand Junction cannot plainly be
seen.
The Label League will conduct a
campaign of education among both
the employers and employees and the
general public. They expect to show
you how and why the union made
shoe Is better than the prison-made
shoe, and why they will wear much
longer: why and how the cleanliness
and sanitary conditions of the can
ming factories, the cigar makers. the
tobacco workers. the garment work

your health.

Officials of the State Federation of
Labor said that there was no longer
any necessity for an anti-boycott law e,
as unions now do not use the boy

Certainly the laboring people of
Grand Junction have no complaint to
make of the attitude of their employ
ers. Outside one or two. the en-
ployers have enthusiastically agreed
to have their clerks sign up with the
unions. This puts an end to the old
fallacy that all employers are against
unions. In nearly all instances the
employers here are paying above
the Denver scale, and the employees
are satisfied. The union is more to
establish fair conditions of labor than
big wages. All agree that prison
made goods are inferior; that goods
made in tenements are unhealthy:
that conditions in many establish
ments in the east are rotten to the
core. 1t is to help these conditions
that we propose to demand the label

chant would rather handle fair goods

Frank J. Barka, of this city, found
that hands across the sea were not
sufficient to bring his wife back to
him, so be obtained a decree of d.
vorce. Edward w. Duffield, as spe-
cfai master III Cbancery, has advised

The case presents the unusual one
of wife being content with her
husband here until he had spent his
money and gone back to Germany
with her to recOup, and then, when
he had so recouped, refusing to
come back. He returned and sent
money to her to follow, but without
avail.
The couple were married In Jer-
sey City August IL. 1897. They went
back to Germany, residing at Som

PLACED UNDER BONDS
TO AWAIT GRAND JURY
Charged With Theft of Oak
land Auto From Voorhees,
Garage April 9th

Soren johnson, of Keyport, has
been adjudged guilty of stealing a
new Oakland automobile from the
voorhees, garage at 294 Market
street and Justice of the Peace Pick
ersgill has ordered him placed under
bonds to await the action of the
grand jury. This is the first step to-
ward the finish of criminal action
brought against Johnson. Several
warrants had been issued for him
and in each case he avoided prosecu-
tion by promising to return the car.
A warrant was finally issued for
him in this city. The case was heard
before Justice of the Peace Pickers-
gill week ago. He reserved deci-
sion and in the meantime consulted
several lawyers. He has decided that
Johnson did steal the machine in
question, despite the fact that it had
come to his attention that Johnson
had placed money in Wilson r. VoOr-
hees's garage business and lost 1t.
The justice of the peace maintains
that no law gave Johnson the right
TO take the machine, as he did on
the night of April 8. 1t Is charged

this morning.
Bang! "You come right back here

thing like that. (Louder) You are
fined SO and you will stay in Jail un-
til it's paid. Lock her up" came
from the bench. She was promptly
marched behind the bars.
The cause of this amusing outburst
from both sides was Miss Dancheek' 8
endeavor to enter complaint
against woman on charge of talk
ing about her. The would-be COM
plainant wanted to know what this
Chinee business" was that the other
women were connecting her with.
Just as she finished stating her case
Recorder Pickersgill ordered her out
of the court room. He refused to
entertain a complaint from her.
There came a noticeable drop in
Miss Dancheck's spirits. She turned
and bitterly made the threat to get
redress by knocking the womans
block off. !" She was released later
when the fine was paid The police
and court officials smilingly said they
knew about the "Chinee business re-
ferred to.

When the auto arrived at the big

The wardens were surprised, as. he
had been in court when adjudged
insane and had been told that he was
going to the state hospital. He
showed no interest when they eX-
planned to him again that it was the
hospital. Later he asked how long
a sentence he had.

was taken, but because of the crowd
that had gathered to witness the
working of the cinematograph, the
animals were not turned loose and
the pictures completion was post
poned until this afternoon. About
1000 people crowded around the
representatives of the company at
work in the vicinity of Parlin.
The company has established

in that vicinity. Yesterday after
noon after renting the use of a Rar-
itan River railroad locomotive and
several flat and box cars from the

with number of wagons loaded
with animal cages started for the
vicinity near Parlin, near George

keeper loosed the kangaroo from its
chain SO that 1t could drink freely

The wary animal soon found that
the keeper was not paying much at

of marsupials. His direction lay di-

ALARM CAUSED
BY INSANE MAN
Armed With Razor and Re-
voIver-- Caught by Cop.

Residents and pedestrians about
Madison avenue and Lewis street
were menaced at noon yesterday by
madman who was armed with a re-
yolVer and q razor. Laboring under
the delusion that a barber, armed
with razor, was pursuing him, Tony
Pierot, thirty-fiye years old, of 1886
State street, ran wildly down Madi-
son avenue. Upon reaching Lewis
street he entered the home of Max
Gibian. He concealed his weapons
and excitedly told the occupants of
the house that a barber of State
street was chasing him, and begged
for protection.
Patrolman Kozusko was detailed
to Investigate. He took Pierot to
police headquarters and Jailed him
as an insane person. No trace could
be found of the mans alleged pur-
suer. Pierot seemed to regain his
senses upon seeing the officer. As
Kozusko was about to remove him
from the Gibian home he cleverly
thrust new revolver and razor into
a pantry. The weapons were found
there by Mrs. Gibian about half an
hour afterward. The man was ad-
Judged insane and was removed to
the state hospital today.
