MAHUKA SITE Is
SATISFACTORY TO.
!. S. ATTORNEY
Jeff Mccarn Anxious To See
Early Action in Erection of
New Federal Building

United States District Attorney jeff
McCarn made plain his position in the
Mahuka site matter yesterday. He
is not advocating new site, he de,
clared, but merely urging action TO
the result that the federal appropri.
alton may become available at an
early date and actual construction be-
gin. H..
AS / understand It," he said, the
appropriation for the site is about
$4,000 less than the values fixed on
the present properties in the condem-
nation suits of last year From what
afraid we viii have difficulty in get.
ting that additional $4,000 or $50, 600
necessary. don't want to see the
whole proposition held up indefinitely,
$450,000 tied up and unavailable for
the lack Of the additional amount now
required.
@The Mahuka site seems to have
been definitely decided upon by the
people OF the municipality. That suits
me. Now IL they can make some ar
rangement whereby we can get the
$4,000 already set aside for the pur-
chase OF the land. and the additional
appropriation for the building, they

asking.
II is intimated that one way Of com.
promising the matter would be to re-
duce the building plans so that $751;
900 or $4,000 can be shifted from
the building to the site fund, making
the federal structure a little more
modest in size or physical adornment,
but making its construction a certain.
ty OF the immediate future. Whether
such arrangement can be made and
will prove practical remains to be as.
certained.

Calls fer Direct Election.
The communication as adopted by
the fifth precinct club declares strong
ly in favor of direct election of the
territorial central committee. In this
connection the following is stated:
1T is notorious that the faction
gaining control of the convention can
by that same power gain control of the
territorial committee. If you will
read carefully Section of article Nv
you viii see that the spirit of the di.
rect primary is openly flouted, for
power is there given this committee
to campaign for the selection of dele
gate and members of the legislature.
We contend that the territorial cen
trail committee should be elected as
is the county committee but at large
in each representative district, and that
this committee should be charged
with ELECTION of the above candi-
dates, leaving the SELECTION where
II belongs. with the individual voters

the editor:
In the election of Edward keating
from the Third congressional district Of
the state Colorado has returned to the
National Legislature a prominent mem-
her of the labor group. Since the con-

aims and objects of the labor organiza-
tions of the country and who were also
actual members of unions.
Election of First Labor Group.
In 1905 the American Federation of
Labor adopted the policy of actively op-
posing the election of those who were
hostile to a square deal for labor and
rendering assistance to those who had
proven by their activity and fairness
their right to the support of labor. In
addition il was urged that wherever
possible members OF labor unions should
secure nominations for Congress. As a
result Of this policy there were elected
