AND ACCIDENT BENEFITS.
Membership Comprises Men in Operating
and Shop Departments, and Will
Total !, 800 in All Branches

Moffat road employees are to have
their own relief association, to bear the
burdens of funeral expense, the care of
those who are sick and to make pro-
vision for those who may meet with ac-
cident. The organization has already
been formed and will be under the con-
troll of the men not members of the
company. The company, however, has
given its approval to the scheme.
The membership of the association
may ultimately include all the en-
ployes of the road, who now number
500, but membership is optional for
those now in the roads employ. 1t will
be condition imposed upon all who
may hereafter become employees, as it is
a move for the protection of the men.
The president, who is also chairman
of the board of trustees, is DR.. Matt r.
Root. The treasurer is G. N. Cannan,
who represents the trainmen, and the
secretary, G. +. Goody. who represents
officials of the road who may care to
belong. and the general office employees.
These three, with four others. consti-
tute the board of trustees. The four
others are c. J.. Robinson, representing
the agents and operators; James De-
haas, representing the shopmen; Frank
Campbell, representing the firemen and
engineers, and B. H. Moon, representing
employees on the maintenance of way.

JUDGE ben LINDSEY
COURTINC WILSON
Juvenile Judge Returns From
East Much Impressed
Progressive Party Leader in Colorado
Intimates That He win Transfer
Affections to Democrats

Judge Ben b. Lindsey has returned
to Denver from two-months' chautau-
qua lecture tour down east, and says
everywhere the people, regardless OF
party affiliations, are for Wilson, the
man of peace and prosperity" Before
leaving New York, the little judge had
a DAYS visit with Teddy Roosevelt at
OYSTER Bay. during which the national
political situation was gone over and it
is the belief that most of the Prpgres-
sives will support President Wilabn in
the campaign next year.
Judge Lindsey says he is not worry
ing over the court procedure against him
here in which he was charged with corr
tempt in refusing to divulge confidences
reposed in him during the Berta
Wright murder trial.
IF President Wilson is to be defeated
at the next election" the judge said,
..the Progresives and Republicans will
have to unite upon mighty fine can
didate. i found on my extensive tour
through the east that the people are
back of Wilson and consider HIM an able
man for the responsible position he
holds. His attitude during the war cri-
sis has me. with almost unanimous APP
provai in the East
Lindsey spoke in mos. of the New
England states on his lecture tour and
finished with lectures in Maryland, Del
aware and Virginia. He inspected many
munitions plants and was surprised at
the immensity OF these industries.
..I am convinced that the country is
OH the verge OF "A great era of pros
perity," he said.
Il boosted Colorado at every oppor.
tunity and found that all this talk about
the state having been hurt by alleged
knocks was rot. Colorado is esteemed
for having the courage to combat evils
that are known to exist here and in
every state he said.
Judge Lindsey leetured in Montreal.
He said he found that enlistment had
fallen off greatly since last fall. At
the outbreak of the war there was a
flood of enlistments, but the excitement
of the conflict has subsidized and the
Canadians are reluctant to enlist.

Luke McLuke Says:

II might help business some II women
would do less shopping and more buy
ing.
OF course silver and gold are mere
dross when compared with the wealth Of
love. But Just the same, there are a
whole lot Of married women whose idea
of bliss would be to be a wealthy old
maid who was independent and didn't
have to ask any man for a cent
They can monkey with eugcnics all
they please. But any old time that
father and mother are such naturally
born tightwads that they accumulate n
fortune the offspring is generally good
spender.
You cans always tell. The girl who IL
holding her head highest as she parades
her new outfit may be the one who has
only paid the first dollar installment on
1t.
This would be fine world II everyone
agreed with you as heartily as the man
who is getting ready to touch you for
a loan.
One advantage of being poor Is that
YOU can buy an antique chair for a dime
at a junk store. But II millionaire
wants to buy an antique chair he has to
go to an antique store and pay $1,000.
II is hard to make people understand
that kind word and a pat on the back
are appreciated more by a slive man
than lot of flowers are appreciated
by dead man.
There are pot many sure things in
life. But IL Is cinch bet that any old
time real young girl marries n real
old man the old man has money.
When wife has her husband properly
trained he spends half the year carrying
out ashes and the other half emptying
the pan under the icebox.
Any old mutt can steal kisses from a
girl. But it takes nerve to steal candy
from u baby.
If man would devote us much energy
to hard work as he does to cussing his
luck he wouldn't have anything to cus'
about.
It doesn't do married man any good
to know it all. He never gets chance
to tell it.
The photograph that girls owr
mother wouldn't be able to recognize
is always the one that girl thinks
looks most like her.

TROLLEY RECEIPTS SLUMP
As AUTO TRAVEL GROWS
TRAMwAY MAKES SOME INTEREST
ING INVESTIGATIONS.
Motor Car Travel Increases 50 Per Cent
the Past Year and Trolley Patron
age Dropped off Per Cent

That the number of passengers car
ried by auto increased 50 per cent in
the last year and the number OF street
car patrons diminished . per cent in
the same time and that, according to
present statistics, there is one auto for
every thirty-six persons in the city and
one to every forty-five in the state, are
few of the points brought out in an
article on street Traffic" by John A.
Beeler, vice president and general man.
ager of the tramway company, which
is being distributed on the street cars.
It is stated that the average cost of
each new automobile is 81 900 and that
the $3.50 now in Denver represent an
investment OF $5,5S0,OOO, plus 81 ,O00, 600
depreciation and interest. The average
cost of maintenance is 81 a day car,
the total operating expense, s2,O0O,OO0,
added to the depreciation heretofore
figured amounts to an annual outlay OF
$3,0OO,0OO, or II cents for each one-way
trip. Had there been no autos the 49,
OOO,0OO people who rode by that means
would have availed themselves of the
tramway transportation to the end that
an economical saving of S2,3O0,O 900
would have accrued to the community,
or S4O0 to each automobile owner, it is
estimated.
On a test day the passenger traffic
was found to be as follows: Tramway
passengers, $4,000, or 81 per cent of
the total; pedestrians, 100000; passen-
ger autos, 1900 passengers; bicycles,
81 900; by horse, 1000; by motorcycle,
1000. There is much of interest in the
booklet about automobiles. jitneys and
track mileage in the various larger
cities of the country.

nILLYER BOWS TO
HICHCQuRTDECREE
VIII Hear No More Trials Of
Former Nine Strikers
Fifty Three Cases On Docket in Las
Animas County Passed oyer Until
November: No Funds Available


Accepting the degree of the state su-
preme court declaring him to be biased,
predujiced and therefore unfit to pre-
side, District Judge CRANKY C. Hillyer
of the Third judicial district, has de-
cided to try no more strike cases. He
wisely accepts the opinion rendered spe-
officially in three Walsenburg cases as
disqualifying him in the nearly 800 in
dictments of former coal strikers in
Huerfano and Las Animas counties.
This is a blow to the "lawandorder'
program of the operators, as Hillyer,
former attorney for the Rockefeller in
terests, was appointed by Governor
Carlson for the sole purpose of railroad
ing the persecuted miners and union Of
ficials to the gallows or the penitenti-
ary.
1t was only when his Jurisdiction was
challenged by Horace N. Hawkins, attor-
ney for the United Mine Workers, that
Hil1yer announced his intention not to
set any of the fifty-three cases on the
docket for the September term. 1t is
expected he will call in new judges to
try the remaining cases in Huerfano
and Las Animas county.
Judge Hillyer was prohibited by the
supreme court on August IL from trying
three strike cases in Huerfano county.
Judge Hillyer also announced that Las
Animas county had no funds with which
to pay for the trials of fifty three strike
cases now pending. He said it would be
November or December before the coun-
ty would be financially able to proceed
with the trials.

DELAY IN HEcLA CASES
Judge Graham Grants Plea Made by
Attorney Generals office.

The time set by Judge Graham Of the
Boulder district court for the filing of
new pleadings by the prosecution against
the severance motion filed by the de-
PENDANTS in the Hecla mining ases, ex-
pired Tuesday.
When Deputy Attorney General Mont
gomery and Special Prosecutor Martin
saw that they would be unable to get
their pleadings in on time, they tele-
phoned to Judge Graham at Fort Col
lins and obtained a delay OF several days.
They will probably make filing next
Monday.
This extension of time for the proseuc-
ton will automatically extend the tkzne
of the defendants in which to answer, 80
that arguments on the new phase of the
case will probably not be held before
September 25 at the earliest, with pos
sibility that further extension Of time
may be granted.
The five cases in which separate trials
were granted are those of Ed. DOYLE. w.

tito and John Connor.
Denver labor bulletin., 1915-09-18

The cool impudence of some of the
papers in the state saying that the min
ers would try to indict certain operators
as retaliation for the Indictment of so
many miners passes the understanding
of the ordinary man. If these men have
committed any crimes how can it be
called retaliation to indict them, and
are we to suppose that because they
belong to some supposedly superior cast
that they are immune from indictment,
unless it is done as an act of ''retalia-
tom by some outsider?
If union men can be charged with sup
plying arms and indicted, why cannot
officials of large operating coal compan-
les be indicted for the same offenseg 1t
has never yet been suggested that the
miners made cannons for fight yet more
than one coal company made these in
struments of "love and peace" to ar
range for the miners social welfare"
Who Kept Strike Armament?
1t has been charged that the miners
did not surrender all their arms to the
federal authorities. Maybe it was the
miners who shipped them to the steel
works in Pueblo for safe keeping. We
did at one time think these arms be-
longed to the coal company, but we sup
pose we must have been mistaken, for of
course these peaceable law w-abiding cit
liens would not have done such a thing.
The federal grand jury will need to
hurry if they are to get in any work
before few criminals that are now loose
get another plastering on with Colorado
courtmartial whitewash. Whether the
federal authorities will stand for such
coarse work remains to be seen, and if
, nf hot min 10 ho
already great suspicion that the miners
are at the back of a great federal con-
spiracy we would offer to bet that it
will take a great deal more than any
jake courtmartial withdrawing to keep
a few amateur military autocrats out
of that institution run by Uncle Sam in
the state of Kansas.
Walsh Report Doing Good.
The hysterical attempts of few to
prove that Mr.. Walsh, the chairman of
the industrial relations committee, was
the double dyed villain of the play is
showing signs of tagging OF course
his whole attitude in exposing the fool
ishly criminal practices of many opera
tors and employers of labor was most
unusual and telling the plain truth about
conditions was likely to disturb some of
them who have been posing before the
public as public spirited philanthropists,
but they needed waking up and his re-
port will do untold good in making the
public at large realize that the giving
of portion of their i'll gotten gains to
some charitable institution does not ex-
cuse the damnable practices they had
been using in everyday life.
Times have changed and today the
working population are studying condi-
tions as they have never before and they
are realizing their proper position. The
tremendous tyranny that has been prac-
ticed by the so-called employers is no
longer going to be tolerated. Mr. Walsh
indicted them before the bar of public
opinion. 1t is now up to them to prompt
ly amend these tactics, or they are going
