COLORADO BEET CROP BEST EVER
Bkrvcst Of $4,000 Acres Began Last
Week in Northern Part Of State.

Hundreds OF Dcnser's unemployed arc
working in the sugar beet fields OF
northern Colorado, harvesting of which
began last week The crop is said TO
surpass any previous year and will set
a new mark for the industry in this
state.
slicing began in all the factories of
the Great Western Sugar company on
Sunday at midnight, and while thus far
IL has been possible TO obtain only fiyad
samples, the indications are that the
sugar content j. normal. which mcans
that /, is approximately l2h per cent OF
the total weight OF the bccts harvested.
Based upon the estimated tonnage this
statement means that northern Colorado
will WELD 3.5o0.Oo0 sacks OF sugar Of loc
pounds each. worth at the factory about
Sl5.OOo.O00.
The acreage this year u lls.6n acres
a. compared with $4,000 in 1914, and the
estimated tonnage il 100000 tons. The
farmers OF the northern section Will re-
cciyc an average OF -. 80 per ton for the
roots. or nearly ss.Ooo.oo0 for the sea-
sons work. The sliding scale OF pay
ment is in vogue. and many farmers
whose bccts are higher in saccharinc con-
tent than the average will receive more
money.

chine When the Commission explained
this view Of the matter to the BARRIERS
Union representatives, they agreed, and
without any compulsion or without be-
ing ordered to do 80, kept the union card
in the shop. A. yon state. the union
finally won the dispute, and the matter
was satisfactorily adjusted.

the credit for settling the dispute. but
IL does claim the credit FOR having
helped to arrange working agreement

which kept them from coming TO an
open break and enabled them to peace

not assumed Jurisdiction over any such
matter.
Power to Adjust Disputes.

power the Commission has, which is its

comprehensive power over industrial dis

showing the omissions. After quoting

sion. your editorial then says. Though
the jurisdiction OF the Commission was
clearly defined, limited and easily asccr-

usurpcd the authority to interfere with
the rules which the BARRIERS Union had
established TO regulate relations with
their employers This criticism. we feel,
would not have been made if you had
had before you that other paragraph of
the law giving us the power to investi-
gate industrial disputes and conciliate
and adjust them. This power is that
of compulsory investigation. and you will
note that Sections 27-33 inclusive, pro-
hibit either side from doing anything in
the nature of lockout or strike while
the investigation is going on. We be-
lieve that under this power there might
have been sufficient warrant to have
asked either side to leave everything in
statu quo until the dispute was finally
adjusted.

The Master Builders association, at
a stockholders meeting last Saturday,
went on record against the ordinance,
using the following language in the de-
bate against the measure: 10 keep a
tradsman in caste, as in India, to
freeze out the little fellow, to double
the cost and annoyance for the general
public. to create building materials
combine, to increase the expenses OF
