City Council Sounds Warming
Demanding Strike Settlement

Two resolutions were introduced at
Wednesdays meeting of the City
Council by Commission of Property
Otto +. Thum looking to settlement
of the coal strike. and both were
unanimously adopted. The first au'
thorizes the Public Utilities Commits
sion to investigate the arbitrary ad-
vance in the price OF coal. by which
the people of Denver are at the mercy
of the coal operators. and the commits
sion is directed to look into the advis-
ability and practicability OF the city
acquiring and operating, coal mines so
citizens may be furnished an ample
supply at n reasonable price.
The second resolution demands that
the coal operators confer with the
striking miners and settle the strike.
II Ia as follows:
Whereas. There exists n contro-
versy between the coal mine opera
tors and the coal miners over the en-
tire coal producing section of the state
of Colorado. and this condition Is pro-
longed and aggravated by the refusal
of the mine operators to meet and con-
fer with the chosen representatives OF
the miners: and.
whereas. This Industrial warfare
IL allowed to continue will work un-
told suffering upon not only the min

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSIONS PLAN
First Investigation viii Be Into Con
dition Of unskilled Labor.

The preliminary work of the new
Federal Industrial Commission has
been completed. and the committee on
organization is at work. a committee
consisting of John R Commons, John
b. Lennon. and Thurston Ballard was
named to select the working staff for
the commission and to start the organ
ization OF the work. Frank p. Walsh,
chairman of the commission. was
made resident representative with
power to designate any other member
to act in that capacity. and he ap-
pointed Mrs. ]. Borden Hartman Of
New York. The commission has de-
cided to divide its work in four sec
tions or divisions, and for each one
there is to be a special investigator.
over these four investigators will be
appointed chief expert, who will su-
pervise the entire work. Among the
prominent candidates for chief expert
are John b. Andrews of New York at
the head of the Association for Labor
Legislation. and w. J. Lauck. The
commission has definitely determined
TO institute at once an investigation
into the condition OF unskilled labor
and the legislation and court decisions
regarding labor.

will now have a strangle-hold on their
jobs.
A spirit of buoyancy pervades the
entire city as a result of this final
settlement of the question of municipal
government, and expression is made
on all sides that it will prove a tre-
mendous boon to business and indus
trial pusuits. People who had been de-
laying action now know where they
stand, and can proceed with a knowl-
edge that the present form of govern
ment is a fixed institution
Under the opinion rendered, the
right of the people of Denver to amend
its charter by petition and referendum
vote is established, together with the
recall of public officials for cause. 1t
wipes out necessity for holding char
ter conventions in Denver.
Abolishes Utilities Commission.
Another important feature of the
decision is that it gradually abolishes
the Public Utilities Commission as
their terms of office expire. This
board was elected and given power by
decision of the United States Su-
preme Court to acquire the Denver
waterworks or provide a new system.
For the past three months the COM
mission has been making a thorough
/ appraisement of the old water works
system. Authority is now established
to issue $1,000 900 in bonds to either

TO the Denver Taxpayers Associa-
ton:
Many rumors came to the ears of
individuals composing your committee
regarding derelictions of duty and
wrong decisions of Judge Lindsey. but
when asked to submit written reports
thereof, none were forthcoming. Most
of these related to a previous term of
office and were decided by other
judges. sitting for Judge Lindsey in
his absence. The only matter that af-
fects the Taxpayers association your
