Auto Parade First
Night Feature of
The Retailers
Meeting

That there is something big going
on In Trinidad was clearly evidenced
last night by the hundreds of people
who thronged through the city
streets. 1t seemed as though every
one in the city was on the streets
last night to give the Retail Mer-
chants Association royal welcome
and hearty greeting. The Retail
men appreciated 1t and they will go
\ back to their homes telling of what
"a live city they found in the south
ernmest end Of the State.
II People of all ages, people of all
nationalities were on the streets last
snight to witness the big automobile
parade and to see every ornamental
Hight pole in the city lighted up for
3the first time in the history of
3Trinidad. Exactly on the minute OF
S O'Clock every light in the city was
burned off. The entire city was in
darkness for few short minutes.
But of a sudden-as If under the
freak spell of wizard-the lights
were switched on by Mayor Dunlavy
from his office in the City Hall. 1t
was blaze of brilliancy which
greeted the visitors, furnished by
myriad incandescent lamps. The
city was in true festival attire. Nev-
or has anything like it been exper-
fenced before in the metropolis OF
Southern Colorado.
And then came the automo-
bile pageant headed by w. r.
Woodbridge with his float construit-
ed in the form of an electric iron.
Automobiles carrying the city OFF,
cials and officers and directors Of the
Colorado Retail Merchants Associa-
tion followed. Then came scores OF
cars, large and small, filled with vis-
itors and delegates and the families
of the car owners. It was great
sight and one long to be remembered
In the minds of the merchants OF the
State and the residents of Trinidad.
Trinidad placed herself on record
last night as being a typical and true
convention city and of being capable
of entertaining visitors in real
metropolitan style.

KING SEEKS PEACE

| London, July 21.-For the frs

he regarded them as the trustees
for the honor and peace OF all, and
left them to confer IN view OF reach.

He told them their responsibilities
were great and that little was short
and advised them to exercise Ia
tience and to be earnest and concil-
iatory in their deliberations.
King George is receiving the con-
ferees at Buckingham Palace, made
the following speech:
ut is with great satisfaction and
hope that l receive you here today
and l thank you for the manner in
which you have responded to my
summons. 1t is also matter for
congratulation that the speaker Of
the house of commons has consented
to preside over our meetings:
MY Intervention at this moment
may be regarded as a new departure
but the exceptional circumstances
under which you are brought togeth-
er may justify my action.
For months we have watched
events in Ireland. The trend has
been surely and steadily toward an
appeal to force, and today the cry of
civil war is on the lips Of the most
responsible and sober-minded of my
people.
I'VE have in the past endeavored
to act as civilizing example to the

UNITE MINERS
UNIONS IS PLEA
OF M0YER

Denver. Colo, July 21.-The con-
solidatiOn OF the United Mine Work
ers OF America and the Western Fed
Grafton OF Miners in one miners
organization Is recommended in the
report of President Charles II. Meyer,
presented today at the biennial con-
vention of the latter organization in
session here. The report contains q
comprehensive review OF the activi-
ties Of the organization during the
last two years and pledges the sup
port OF the Western Federation to
the United Mine Workers in the
Colorado strike. Charles dissension
among the members OF the federation
at Butte. Mont. to the activities OF
representatives of the Industrial
Workers Of the World: urges the Gre
alton of a permanent fund for strike
benefits; opposes proposed amend
ment that would render any member
ineligible for reelection who had
previously held office for two consec-
utive years and calls upon the mem
bers of organized labor the unite in
a campaign of education to secure
their demands in states and in the
nation.
Upon the subject of amalgamation
with the United Mine Workers of
America. Mr.. Meyer said:
Il want to say that there Is not
going to be any opposition on the
part of the Western Federation of
Miners to the amalgamation Of the
two miners organization there are
not going to be any officers stand
ing in the way of a one-miners' or
ganization in the country"
Legislation urged by President
Meyer includes federal law penal
izing every officer and agent OF n
corporation engaged i'll interstate
condition to obtain or retain en-
ployment the surrender OF member
ship in any organization, association
or society, holding that such require
ments and contracts are void as
against public policy and the liberty
of the workers"
Cooperation with the federal bu-
rcau OF mines is urged and the ap-
pointment of William u. Wilson as
secretary OF labor, is approved.
A considerable portion of .he re-
port is devoted to a recital OF con-
ditions in the Michigan copper fields
is left to the delegates to the con-
vention from that district.
Opposition to the proposed amend
ment that would render ineligible
for reelection members who mad
served for two consecutive years
previously was based upon the argu-
mcnt that 1t would deprive the men,
bers Of the services of officers whose
efficiency had been increased by ex-
perience. Mr. Meyer pointed out that
the constitution of the federation
had nroyided for the recall OF officers
derelict in their duties.
A strong plea was made in the re-
mort for the creation Of strike
benetjt fund and in this connection
President Meyer urged an amend
ment to the constitution providing
that the executive committee mas

urged that the election OF three au-

pested. would consist OF furnishing

Kickers

Speaking Of people that have been kicked
out of the republican party during the last
few years reminds us that according to the
official record something like two million
supporters of the G. O. p. were kicked out
Of that organization about the month of
June; 1912. Over 100. 600 of them resided
in Colorado, and more than 1000 of them
resided in Weld county. The natural re-
suit was that the G. o. p. carried only
Norman Utah and little old Vermont Col
orado went overwhelmingly Democratic,
and the Democracy of Weld county kicked
few republican grafters out of Office. The
net result of the kicking out process" of
the G. o. P. is that between two and three
million former republicans landed in the
ranks of the Woodrow Wilson Democracy,
and the most of them will be found on the
firing line of Democracy now and in the
future.
