DOING ALL 1T CAN.
To Settle Labor Conditions in Colorado
Says w. B. Wilson.


Following closely on a communicat ton
from Congressman Frank Plumley stat
ing the views of the second district S
representative on the Mexican imbroglio
and the strike situation in Colorado,
comes a letter to the city central com
mittee of the Socialist party from Sec
rotary of Labor w, B. Wilson. In a
personal message, the secretary replies
to the protest sent to President Wilson
by the committee at its international
labor day meeting May l. Secretary Will
son says:
Your communication containing reso-
buttons relative to the Mexican and Col
orado situations, addressed to the pres
ideut, has been referred to me.
THE United States has not declared
war on Mexico. We have no quarrel
with the Mexican people. We are
anxious that they should have the op-
portunity of working out their own
problems in their own way. The gov
eminent is putting forth every effort
to prevent conditions arising which
might provoke war.
in the Colorado strike situation the
national government has done every
thing it has authority to do in order to
bring about settlement on a Just basis
and to protect the miners and all others
in their constitutional rights. Repre-
sentatiyes OF this department are now in
Colorado using all the influence they
possess in an effort to bring about an
adjustment. That the mine workers in
Colorado appreciate the fairness of the
administration in handling the strike
situation is made evident by the fact
that they are now insisting upon the
federal troops being allowed TO remain
in that state
Respectfully yours.

The proposal to increase the fare on
the street railway from five to six cents
conflicts with the roads franchise, which
provides "the fare for riding upon the
Tines of said company within the city
limits shall not exceed five cents, and
said company shall give transfer tickets
to all of its own lines" This was one
of the conditions imposed by the Barre
city council in granting the franchise to
the road to do business in the city's
streets; it was accepted by the com
pany, and it is up to the city govern
ment to see that it is imposed.

NORTH DURANT.

Yes, Critic, Susans are only recent
subscribers to the Durant News, hence
were deprived the privilege of reading
the article on cooperation, but CO.
operation and organization are some
what a little kin, believe, if it did
state that the whole foundation of CO.
operation is selfishness and greed.
Then why should our worthy editor
print such advice as is in the Septem-
Der 5 News, saying the farmers can't
be helped until they organIze-he
selfish, eh? 1t does seem that selfish
ness does thrive in this beautiful land
of ours, but if there is anything on
earth that is despisable in our estima
tion ii is selfishness and greed. But |
can't agree with anyone that co-opera-
tion or organization is selfishness; it is
only mode of protection from CO.
operations and organizations of other
natures; that is partially my idea of
it. A neighborhood can not be sue
cess il we all do not cooperate to
make it a success. If one pulls one
way and another vice versa, what is
that? not cooperation is it? 1t 10 a
good thing that all can't be alike, for

every thing life would not have much
