The situation in Colorado for the
past week or ten days is disgrace
to our civilization. The State Fede-
ration of Labor officials and officers
of local unions throughout Colorado
Joined in the appeal for federal in
tervention.
The members OF the Denver militia
were SO incensed over the dastardly
acts committed by the gunmen they
mutinied. In one troop. eighty out of
eighty-two members refused to go to
Trinidad. Only twenty-three men,
bers of another troop fell in line and
were denounced as "scabs" by the
striking militiamen..
Printers Act Quickly.
The conservative old Typographical
union of Denver broke away from
her conservative moorings and at q
special meeting called for the purpose
of protesting against the Ludlow mas
sacre and voted to appropriate $500
with which to purchase guns to give
to the miners with which to protect
their lives, their homes and their
families.
The union also passed resolutions
calling upon Governor Ammons to re-
sign. 1t was held that the massacre
was the direct result of John D.
Rockefeller's open declaration, on be-
half of himself and those interests
he represented, to exterminate the
miners union through the hired gun
men paid by him and his associates,
who they have clothed with the. livery
of the state through connivance with
the un-American Governor of Colo
rado
An Appeal to Arms.
After the massacre John r. Lawson
and other officials of the Miners
union, seeing they could get no pro-
lection from the state. appealed to-
their members to organize In compan-
les of volunteers to protect the peo-
pie of Colorado against the murder
and cremation of men, women and
children by armed assasins in the en-
ploy Of coal corporations serving un-
der the guise of state militia men.
The story of the Ludlow massacre
was told by the Denver Bulletin as
follows: Imported gunmen, few of
them citizens of the state but en-
listed in the Colorado national guard,
and thus clothed with authority to
commit crimes in the name Of the
law as construed by the military
authorities, started the shooting. The

fight in Duluth for the municipal
ownership of a gas and water plant.
It differed in one respect at least; the
Glasgow officials had mo scruples
about ..'confiscating' the property OF
the private monopoly which controll-
ed the tramway system 8 years ago.
The company wanted an exorbitant
amount for it's worn out system. The
city refused to buy it at so high a
price. The company was obstinate,
and the city finally, tired of pickering.

the plant fully paid for in two years
from now.
"A Ride For Cent.
Passengers are carried a mile and
one-half for one cent. It costs six
cents for the. maximum ride. Sixty
eight per cent Of the passengers are
carried for one cent. Only a small
percentage of the passengers take the
long ride. When the bonded debt OF
the system Is fully paid the city ex4
poets to make further reduction in
the fare by extending the one cent
zone to two miles.
The wages paid to the tramway
employees have been doubled under
city ownership, and the hours of la
Dor have been reduced from the r.
hour day to nine hours, and from
seven days week to six days. Work
ing conditions have greatly improved
and are said to be ideal, at least they
are very much better than they were
under private ownership.

Papermakers of Holyoke Threaten
Strike IF Shorter Workday Is
Not Granted.

HOLYOKE, Mass, May 1.-The Pa
permakers' union has registered op-
position to any further delay on the
part Of the American Writing Paper
company in the adoption Of the eight
hour system m the mills that are. not
operating under the shorter workday.
Committees, reported that officials
agreed that a 13-hour day was
too long for men to work, and that
the eight-hour system would be put
into effect within a short period; in
fact, $50 soon that it would surprise
the committee members themselves. 1"
The union rejected the committees
report for the reason that these as
surances have been made by the COM
pany for the past two years. "
1t was voted that the committee be
called upon to name a definite date
when the eight-hour, day was to be-
come effective in the mills, and If the
company declines to do so the union
will select such date and prepare to
enforce it's decision. "a"

Mr.. 7. HI. Harrison, one of the
prosperous farmers living near
Bon Homme met with q very pain
full accident one day last week,
while hosting the galvanized pipe
from his deep well. He had a
number of lengths raised high in
to the air, and in some manner the
clamp slipped and allowded the
pipe to drop, catching one of his
fingers between the pipe and
clamp. He called to his wife for
assistance, but she wss unable to
raise the heavy pipe She started
toa neighboring house to sum-
mons assistance and while she was
gone the pain that Mr.. Harrison
suffered was more than he could
stand, SO he took out his knife
and cut off his finger in order to
free his hand. We dare say this
took considerable nerve, but the
pain he had suffered could not
have been any worse. Spring

Pierre, Aug. 1. Judge Boucke
in Brown county court hes sus-
tanned the order of the state rail
way commission, for a side track
by the Milwaukee line at q point
between Yankton and Tabor. He
holds that SO long as the record
was clear, be will not interfere
with the work of the commission.
In case, the side track was asked
for on 9 stretch of track of six
teen and six tenths mile. The
state law providing that no road
can be compelled to put in side
tracks where stations are less than
twelve miles apart. The road OBJ
jected on the ground that the loca-
ito n where q side track was asked
for was less than twelve miles
from Utica, station on another
branch of their system Utica was
more than fourteen miles from TIA
Dor. The holding of the court is
to the effect that measurements
for distance to determine as to q
side track, must be on the lines of
the road, and not on a cross coun-
try measurement.
