officers of Typographical Union No 9
for restoration to their positions and
back pay for time lost since the eSecn-

decision in their case. The executive
committee of Big Six on July last de-
cidcd that the Press still existed as
part of the Sun, and that both Sun ana
Press printers must be treated as II
working for one paper, and if there were
too many printers for the work at hand,
then the youngest in point of service
should be dropped. At meeting OF Big
Six this decision was approved. Follow
ing the approval by the union OF the
executive committees findings, forty
two printers, who were a part OF the
Sun chapel at the time of the merger:
were found to be younger in point OF
service and were dropped. An appeal
was taken to the general council of the
international union, which approved the
action of Big Six. At the recent con-
vcntion in Baltimore, the case was
brought up on appeal and the general
councils decision was sustained.

CASE OF MAILERS

Industrial Commission Lavish With
Promises and Dates, But This
Doesn't Fill Coal Bins

"Watchful Waiting has ceased to be

have been patiently waiting for an
award by the Colorado Industrial Com
mission upon their demands for a new
wage schedule.
During the first week in July com
mittee representing the Mailers Union
and /. T. U. Representative Frank j..
Pulver filed thirty day notice with the
commission, as required by the new state
industrial law. After two postpone
ments the taking of testimony was be-
gun before the commission, that of Rep
resentative Pulver being taken about the
end of July. By piecemeal other evil
denee was accepted. On several dates
when hearings were to be held the news
paper publishers failed to appear either
in person or by attorney.
On August "a, Attorney Henry Cohen,
representing the Mailers Union, asked
for Judgment by default. inasmuch as
the publishers had ignored both the com
mission and the demands of the union.
This Judgment WIS denied by the com
mission and another date set for the
publishers TO be heard, namely August
2s. Failure OF the latter TO appear on
this date caused another postponement
until September 8, when the hearing was
finally completed and arguments pre-
scented by attorneys representing the
publishers and the union.

BURNED
Goodwin Farmer Loses Heavily ~
Result of Fire.

Goodwin, Feb. lot. t. Rose
land, a farmer living near Goodwin,
lost 1000 bushels of potatoes as the
result of an unusual accident. In or
der TO keep the potatoes from freez-
ing he at the commencement OF the
excessively cold weather placed a
hard coal stove in his potato pit.
Yesterday during a fierce gale some
of the straw was blown against the
hot stovepipe, with the result that
the straw caught fire and the flames
speedily were communicated to the
roof. which was burned off, roasting
and running the 1000 bushels OF
spuds. The loss was a heavy one for
him, as he is one of the potato kings
of the Goodwin territory, and pota-
toes are his principal crop. He was
carrying over the potatoes for the
high prices in the spring.
