At his Office in the city hall at

Dunlavy pressed a button that con-
verted the business district of the
city into blaze OF light. The press

ceremony that marked the dedica-

lighting eystem. For few seconds
only was the town in utter darkness,
night there was flash OF myriad
lights and then glare of brilliancy.
An event historical In the life Of the
city had been recorded.
Hundreds of people came down
town to see the lights turned on,
for 1t was great moment in the
history OF Trinidad. Promptly at
$3.50 every light in the city was
turned OF for a brief interval and
then, OF a sudden-almost by magic

been dreamed OF by every city coun-

this plan OF civic betterment has
been realized. The standards along

remains to be done is the erection oi

out by the union, have been prevent
ed from doing 80 by the union lead
ers. A number of strikers who live
close to the Model land have sought

union leaders have instructed them
not to gosto w ork unless they are
given $3.50 q day for eight hours
work. which is more than the Model
farmers fesl they can pay. In other
words the miners' leaders are seeking
to dictate to the farmers on the
same unreasonable terms a. they are
seeking TO dictate to the coal oper.

The strikers want to go to work
and the Model farmers are in need
of men. The strikers have been
very much exercised over the stipu-
lation Of their officials but in mortal
terror of the blackhand organization
they have passed up the opportunity
to earn a living.
The union officials have been dis
playing the same high hand else
where. Members of the union were
cut off from benefits recently ut
Grey Creek because they sought work
as goat herders. Strikers working on
the section at SOpris were told to
quit or they would be cut off from
benefits. The ultimatum of the
