Not only in Colorado, but throughout
the nation. has organized capital lined up
for what many economists predict rs the
final battle on the industrial field be-
tween Capital with its greed for greater
gains through cheap workmen, and Or
ganized Labor, standing for human rights
and resistance to further subjugation. At
Washington the National Chamber of
Commerce, which has largely taken the
place OF the discredited National Associ-
alton of Manufacturers, maintains u
powerful lobby. and local bodies are
striving to influence state legislatures
aud state officials. as has been so clearly
demonstrated here in Denver. Rookie
feller millions now largely control the
churches and educational institutions, of
the country, which are used to direct
pious or youthful minds from the crimes
committed against labor Detectives and
spies are employed where gunmen are
not required. and hardly labor meeting
is free from the espionage Of capitals
hirclings.
Members of organized labor should
forget all their petty jealousies and
avoid internal strife during this crisis,
for only by presenting united and de-
termined force in opposing this labor
crushing process can they hope to win
this great battle.
That these conditions are being noted
by writer's and thinkers in other than
avenues of the workers is evidenced by
the following recent editorial taken from
the Philadelphia North American. which
is not a labor paper:
"Ncver before in the history Of organ
lied labor have its enemies been so pow
erfiul and well organized and so insist
ent as now. Big corporations and
wealthy firms and individuals are
leagued in the crusade against the work
ers and nothing will satisfy their greed
for power and money but the disruption
of labor organizations and the reduction
of the workers to state Of peonage. To
this end they have sought to control.
through secret and corrupt lobbies, the
national Congress and state legislatures.
They have sought to control the churches,
the press and the universities. colleges
and schools of the country; have en-

DAIRY PRODUCTS Of
D.SnOW INCREASE
Amount Of Butter Fat Produced
by North Dakota Dairy Herds
Surprisingly Large.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 20.-The amount
of butter fat produced by North Da-
kota dairy herds this year will show
an increase of from fifty to sixty-fs'e
per cent vel the figures for last
year, according to E. "a. Greenwood,
assistant state dairy commissioners.
Commissioner Greenwood has Just
finished an exhaustive study of con-
diti0ns over the state, in the investi-
agatlon OF which he has visited hund-
reds Of creameries in the eastern
and northern counties in the state.
The increase in amounts of incoming
butter fat in these sections is equal
ed by the increase in other sections,
he says.
"The change in the state is a radi-
cal one the commissioner said.
People are waking up to the realiza.
t on of the fact that the wheat pro-
position in dollars and cents, Is mo-
a paying one. Everywhere farmers
r changing their methods. Our
department officials have police
power but they have not been using
it except in exceptional cases of re-
fractory creamery owners Our work
has been mainly educational. Among
all Of the farmers l have talked to,
there ere but two objections to. stock;
the first cost and the anticipated
labor. Farmers generally have been
satisfied with the answers we give:
you don't need to buy anything but
a good sire to head a common herd
which can breed up, whether 1t be
beef, dairy, horse, sheep, hogs or
poultry and you have got to work
to get anywhere
According to Commissioner Green
wood, two things are responsible for
the tremepdous increase in the states
dairy products. One Is the plan of
maintaining a herd breeding circuit
In which herds in one township are
served by one sire bought by all of
the farmers in that section. This
plan has been adopted enthusiastical-
ly in many townships. The other fact
favoring the growth of the dairy in
dustry in North Dakota Is the ad-
vance of the silo. Last fall, after the
last sil0 was built, North Dakota had
700 silos. Sil0 men have been at
work over the state, in cooperation
with the E:etter Farming association,
the federal experts and the agricul-
tural college and experiment stations,
with such success that Commissioner
Greenwood predicts that there will
be 1900 silos in the state by the time
snow flies again.

Fire started in Bowler's pool room
