busy about her? In horse cab, with Marie and
the clothes far down near the East river where in

cheerful light in the downstairs front windows
This was where the elevator boys mother lived and
It was as clean inside it grimy out She had

"NO STRIKE IS EVER LOST"

Denver, Colo.-In his report to the
State Federation of Labor convention,
President McLennan made these opti
mistic references to the recent strike
of Colorado coal miners.
THE astounding manner in which it
has opened the eyes of the general
public to the ordinary injustices and
abuses with which the worker is be-
set has made it worth while and laid
the foundation for future dividends for
labor, and it can be set down as a
hard and fast rule that no strike was
ever lost Behind all the expense, the
suffering and the hardship are the hid
den gains, which will only be realized

might have, select their committeeman,
and have their wrongs, real or fancied,
brought to the attention OF the COM

having been so kind, so indulgent, so
paternalistc prior to the strike. The
non Union men came together in sew
eral OF the southern camps, they Tor
mulated demands very similar to those
which the Union has asked in the first
place. They asked for a 10 per cent
increase in wages, and also something
that the Union men had never asked
for, the discharge OF several harsh and
tyrannica pit bosses. 1t was what these
men had learned from the Union and
its fight that made them ask for those
things They had learned the things
which the Union had demanded. They
had compared their own unhappy state
with what it would be ii they were
Union men enjoying all the fruits of
successful Unionism. and being given a
chance, they yasked for these things
/ They did not get them until backed by

BLAME CITY FOR DISASTER.

New York, N. Y.-The death OF

The reversion from the exclusively
ground floor idea of postofhce building
was exc usively described in The Trib-
Une more than a month ago. wnen this
action In Chicago was forecast IN an
interview with Secretary Newton.
In an official statement on the report
to-day il was declared that 1t would
"reyolutionize the character Of build
ing and the handling Of postal and par
eel post business in The larger cities
Of the United States"
The committee was appointed last

yOlvcd the selection of site and the
erection of a building in Chicago Con-
gress had appropriated Sl,75OOOO for
the purchase of 81 site for a new post
office building in that city. The growth
Of the postal service in Chicago has
been so great that IL was found that
this appropriation was only about one
fourth Of what would be necessary to
purchase sufficient ground area. pro-
vided the work of the postoifice were to
be handled on the lower floors only. as
has been the custom heretofore This
situation in Chicago is similar TO that
which exists. or soon will exist. IN the
ether large cities Of the country
The joint cc-nmittee recommends a
ten story building on one block in Chi
caco, stating that this would be OF
sufficient size to take care Of the par
Gel post and postal business for twenty
years. This building would have a
floor area Of about twenty-soven and
cne-half acres. The tentative plan
really contemplates q twelve story
building. with two stories below ground
and ten above.
It is understood here that the Treas
ury Department, as the result of this
report. may buy a site in Chicago for
such a building after an appropriation
is obtained from Congress. Ii is stated
that 25 per cent of the parcel post
business Of the United States origi-
