Great Grand Valley is the potato. For
The past 10 days the prospect for very
low prices locally has been the subject

cials to punish the miners who struck
good and plenty before they ever got
back to work, and there is no doubt but
that this threat is being carried our,
but it may possibly go too far. If these
fellows think for one moment that when
the strike was called off that they had
completely crushed all semblance of or
ganization forever-they have another
guess coming
Lawyers Gleeful Over Trouble.
The United Mine Workers of America
will be in Colorado years after some
of the present mine officials have founo
it convenient to hunt new locations and
it will deal with coal mine investors; !;
when the memory of the disgracefully
incompetent legal negotiations that have
been the cause of so much misunder-
standing between capital and labor has
become dim with age
We don't believe in gambling, but if
we did, We would be willing to wager a
good sum that the Colorado coal COM
panies have paid lawyers five times as
much to get them into trouble and keep
them there as ever they have distributed
among bondholders or stockholders in the

CUTTERS WANT COLORADO sroNz
Protest to Chamber of Commerce Against
Importing Eastern Stone.

Protests against the encroachment of
a Bedford, Ind, stone company upon
quarry companies Of Colorado have been
lodged with the Denver Chamber of
Commerce and the Colorado Manufactur-
ers' association as a result of the In
diana company's capture of contract
to furnish stone for the S225, 900 Greeley
court house
The protests were made by L. F..
Fitzgerald, former secretary of the
Stonecutters Union, who charges that the
Bedford company seeks to monopolize the
stone business in Colorado by freezing
out competitors of the state. Loss Of
money on contracts, according to Fitz-
gerald, is met by the Bedford company
in its plan to gain monopoly now.
Fitzgerald asserts that the effect is
to thwart the employment of hundreds
of Colorado stonecutters, who own
homes in the state, and to prevent the
circulation of money paid by taxpayers
for county buildings in their own COM
munities by failing to patronize home In
dustry.
