Threaten to Clean Out Colorado Mines.

Threaten to Clean Out Colorado Mines.
The Grand Junction News, yester-
day, published the following dis
patch:
Denver, October 21.-William Dia-
mond. International treasurer of the
United Mine Workers stated in the
streets of Trinidad today that, "the
sending OF state troops through the
strike district has got to stop. We
have 5000 men all drilled in four ad-
joining states, awaiting orders to come
here and wipe out the mines and clean
out the militia, as soon as the federal
troops are taken out of Colorado
These remarks were caused by the
fact that the state troops were re-
turning from rifle practice and had to
pass through the strike district.

speakers and a general discussion on
various other topics.
A plan for the extension of the Ne

of corn and hogs) to the Western
Slope is being seriously considered
and the past summers experience is
sure TO bring forth some valuable dis
cussions along this line. The corn

Do You Think
It Would Work?

1t has been suggested that fruit
growers make their own market
prices.
Many manufacturers OF staple goods
establish a selling price and allow no
deviation from that price.
pair of shoes, for instance, may
be put out as three-dollar shoe,
and no retailer is allowed to sell that
make of shoe for any more or any less.
In that way the manufacturer. re-
taller and buyer are all protected,
and each knows to a cent, what his
profit is.
The oft-repeated cry is for the fruit
growers to get together. If they
could do it in that way, guaranteeing
their pack and stamping the price
upon each grade, it might result in
a like protection.
Under the present market condf-
tions the consumer needs help fully
as much as does the grower, for in
many instances the fruit is retailed
at four or five times what the grower
gets for it.
There should be some system plan.
ned by which all classes could be
protected, just as in the case of staple
articles of manufacture. and which
articles are no more free from COM
petition than is the product of the
farm or orchard.
As a matter of fact food stuffs are
the first in demand as staples, for
people must eat.
The marketing of products is the
most serious question which confronts
the farmer Any ideas that seem TO
point to a solution, are welcomed to
these columns.

Those Apple
Buying Helps

Some of the towns of the slope,
some of the Denver newspapers, have
been urging local people to form asso-
Citations to buy 5000 boxes of apples
at 81 box in lots of so boxes 40 the
person, then each person so buyiny. to
write to friends, asking them each to
take one or more boxes off his hands
at the price paid in order to help the
fruit growers, depending upon the
fruit associations to guarantee fancy
pack"
Independent would like to boost any
plan that would help the fruit growers
in year like this to market their ap-
Piles but we question IL the above plan
would assist very materially. In the
first place 5000 boxes placed by half
a dozen such auNilliaries in this county
would only dispose of the apples from
20 or 80 acres of the $4,000 acres in
the county and il the apples had to be
distributed through the associations, it
would be question whether the farm
er or the association would be the ben
eficiary. Again, there are few local
people who feel able to invest $50 in
apples on chance of failing to unload
them on their friends and probably
lose S25 in the transaction. 1t must
be remembered that box of apples
at dollar here, sent separately to
some friend at distance, even in our
own state, would reach him at net
cost Of S150 to S2.00, and that he
could buy the same fruit at home for
from soc to s1.00 less, as the markets
now are, and that would be one of the
main stumbling blocks in the plan.
Delta county, instead of having 5000
boxes to market, no doubt has more
than million boxes this year. and it
would. at that rate, take the success
full operation of more than a thousand
towns to dispose of the crop OF this
one county under the plan discussed.
so we fear that more practical
scheme will have to be devised.

Bar Association Condemns Recall.

Washington. Oct. 21.-Committee
reports submitted by the American
Bar association convention today con-
demned the judicial recall and labor
exemption clauses of the recent anti

that the judicial recall substitutes
''the arbitrary and capricious pre-
Judgment of comparatively incapable
arbiters declared at a mass meeting
OF referendum election" for Judgment
OF trained tribunals. 1t declared the
labor exemption clause Is discrimina-
tion against the successful man.

vision of the Baltimore and
Ohio System.

WHEELING. July 2.-on the
Short Line division between New
Martinsville and Wheeling, the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company,
is suffering from a water famine,
due to the fact that rain has not fall
en- at many points along the division
in nearly two months. So serious
has the situation become that It has
been found necessary to constantly
operate water trains between the two
terminals in order that the freight
and passenger business may be prop
erly handled. ~
Though Wheeling has had heavy
rains almost every day for the last
week., the Short Line towns and COM
munities. the nearest OF which IS
about forty and the farthest perhaps
one hundred miles away, have had
little II any rainfall since early in
May. AS a result the larger proper
tion Of the territory traversed by the
route is suffering from an extensive
drouth.

ASSASS THEORY
STILL WORKED ON
As Result of DR.. Carnan De-
claring He Had Received a
Threatening Message.

FREEPoRT, N. Y, July 1.-Two
weeks before Mrs. Louise Bailey was
murdered in the office of DR.. Edwin
carman someone called DR.. carman
on the telephone and threatened his
life. With apparent reluctance and
more than thirty-six hours after the
tragedy the physician today gave thos
information to the district attorney.
The county prosecutor failed to make
him amplify this revelation. DR.. Car
man refused to say whether the
threatening message came from q man
or woman.
On the strength Of this information
detectives continued to work on the
theory that the assassin, who on Tues
day night broke window in the doc
tors Office, poked revolver through
the hole and fred the shot that killed
Mrs. Bailey. a patient, sought the doc
tors life and not hers.
The authorities, however, decided
not to let their suspicious crystalize
until after an autopsy on Mrs. Bailey's
body today.

OF Calling the Big Financiers in
/ at Last to Discuss Nations
Conditions.
MORGAN COMES FIRST
Morgan's Visit Comes as Sur
prise to Those Who Watch
Wilson'S Course.
tsy sssos,arsp pssss,

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July p
~. p. Morgan had an engagement at
the White House today to discuss
general business conditions with
lPresident Wilson. It was the first
iof several informal conferences the
president plans to have with indus
trial and financial leaders within a
lshort time. 1t was said at the White
House that Mr.. Morgan had asked
for the engagement and It was ex-
lplained that the two men are per-
sonal friends. Another version OF
lthe meeting was that Mr.. Morgan had
been invited through friends to give
This views to the president.
Next week the president will have
q conference with Henry Ford, the
Detroit manufacturer. 1t was said
the president had invited Mr.. Ford.
Officials close to the president said
Mr.. Wilson would take such an OPP
portunity to outline his views to the
heads of "big business" in Person.
Mr.. Morgan's engagement was more
or less surprise to those who have
observed the course the president
has taken since he entered the White
House in having conferences with
captains of industry. It had been
pointed out that the president was
receiving the big business men OF
the country less frequently than his
predecessors. in fact had not been
asking their advice at all on legisla-
tion affecting business. When the
currency bill was in passage through
Congress. k:le president even de-
clined to receive. some members Of
the Morgan firm.
White House officials said today that
one OF the features which had en-
tered into public discussion of the ad-
ministration's trust legislation policy
and what the president had character
lied. as psychological depression
caused'by campaign to halt the trust
bills in Congress was an inference
that Mr., Wilson did not care to meet
the big business men OF the country
face to face and discuss with them
personally the issues IN which they
are SO vitality interested.
By series Of informal conferences
with leaders Of industry and finance
of which those with Mr.. Morgan and
Mr.. Ford will; be the first 1t is the
idea to show that the president is ap-
preaching the subject with an open
mind willing to hear the views of big
business first hand and outline his
own views In return.
