Resolutions bearing upon the present
high prices of foodstuffs were adopted
at the last meeting of Denver Switch
mems Union No. 30. Later they We're
read at meeting of the Trades and
Labor Assembly and referred to the
special committee on high cost OF living
which is making an investigation of the
subject. The resolutions are as follows
being in the form of petition to the
mayor and city council:
"To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of Denver.
Gentlemen: As we believe that the
present extortionate prices of the neces-
stiles OF life at present charged by the
retailers of food products; also coal in
this city are out of all proportion for a
fair return for their money invested In
their business, and We also believe that
prices should he so regulated that people
with moderate incomes should be en-
titled to fair living as well as those
that are possessed OF large amount of
wealth.
Therefore, Be it resolved, That we
request your honorable body ut its first
regular meeting to take the necessary
steps to acquire and maintain a system
OF municipal stores and warehouses
bought direct from the producer and
sold to the consumer at price that
will cover only the cost OF operating the
business, thus enabling the poor, as well
the rich, to provide the proper kind
OF food for their families.
BE it further resolved That these
resolutions be placed in the hands of our
delegates to the Denver Trades and La
Dor Assembly with a view OF securing
the Endorsement of that body, and if
agreeable, to be placed in the hands of
their Legislative Committee for action
before the mayor and city council, and.
BE it also resolved, That copy of
these resolutions be forwarded to the
secretary Of the State Federation of
Labor and all central bodies and affil-
lated unions of this city, and a copy be
spread on the minutes of this meeting.

1t seems more than likely the good
natured crew of the Ballet Russo are
positive that Denver is a great city. Sam
Amburgh impressed that fact on their
minds indelibly. Comparing Denver with
New York, he says, their town may be
larger than ours, but look at our ex-
pansive country. Their buildings are
higher than ours, while we have noun
tains that make New York hills look
like hole in the ground. Then notice
our new Union depot as you go out.
Charlie Max says he believes Amburgh
is right.

The hunting spirit has not been slow
to take its cue from the successful use
OF the aeroplane in war. II the scout
can make his way unchecked above the
lines OF the enemy and search them
out as he will: II he can drop bombs
or shoot with definite effect on the
enemy below. then surely the hunter.
being able to fly low with no risk to
himself. could follow his game from
the air and get It at will.
This has been done with success
The Literary Digest tells OF hunting
coyotes over the western plains by
aircraft, quoting from Flying the de-
tails OF how It is done. The animals
are taken unawares. On the air side,
the only side from which they have
never had reason to expect attack.
their instinct has left them unguarded.
This will be remedied in time. but
what good will It do them? The aero
plane can fly faster than the animal
can run. 1t probably will be adapted
to the hunting OF many forms OF big
game the world over. giving the hunter
the advantage of a protection from the
recoil OF such animals as tigers. lions
and elephants which he never could
have before
