Second-Miners must seek work at
the mines, and must not be solicited
or impressed into service. y
Tliird-Miners must be residents of

This order ends the practice of i'm
porting strike breakers to the struck
mines in small groups, as they must
henceforth apply at the mines, must
be residents of the state and must
not violate any of the states mining
laws. The order hits employment
agencies, and these institutions have
been notified by the Colorado state
labor department that any violation
of the rule that miners must seek
work. at the coal mines in the strike
district will be prosecuted

War Garrison to rescind or at least

CLUB
T0ST|uDY CITY Y PLAN
Commissioner Merritt Not Plan
ming Action in Immediate
Future.

The first step by the Commercial
club toward an investigation into the
building Of a. municipal electric light
plant was taken yesterday when the
municipal committee of the club held
a meeting and after some discussion
of the matter made plans for a
thorough study of the subject to be
embodied in a report in the near flu
ture.
According to A. T. Banning jr., OF
the committee, the discussion was in
formal, relating pr ncipally to proce-
dure to be employed in obtaining the
facts concerning the proposed con-
struction of a plant.
Commissioner of Public, Utilities
Merritt yesterday said that he has no
intention of taking any further de-
finite step in the immediate future,
as the matter Is now entirely in the
hands of the council.
The resolution passed at the coun-
Gil meeting last Friday was somewhat
unfortunately worded, said Mr.. Mer-
rift, "but I think there is no doubt
that it gives me authority to collect
data and make plans. OF course,
some of the collecting of data may be
expensive, and in that case we will
need an appropriation by ordinance.
"The resolution was introduced
principally to show the people of the
city that we will stand no more dilly-
dallying on this matter and that We
are taking action. We mean business.
There probably will be opposition
to the movement. I suppose the
matter will go to a referendum vote. "
