EVEN DENVER VOTED DRY
Remarkable Transformation Made il
Two Years Time


The brewers of the country should
be interested in the result of the re-
cent elections in Colorado. That state
became dry the first of last January
as the result of the statewide vote in
1914. This year the vets initiated
a proposal to permit the sale of beer.
According to liquor men, Colorado
was crazy to get booze back. What
happened?
In 1914 the dry majority in the
state was II, 900, this month it was
$4,000 In 1914 the city of Denver
gave wet majority of $500, and
this year she gave a dry majority of
11,00O-a majority equal to that
cast by the entire state two years
ago.
Denver is as large as Columbus,
Ohio, and yet that great city is so
pleased with her experience without
saloons that she reversed herself and

any suitable tribunal,
 One of the most puzziinE Of the de- ! Tands is that which seeks payment for the so-ealicd "samil coal" This is new demand. and meets with determined opposition from the own ers. Hitherto the workmen who re- ceived payment on tonnage basis 90 much for every ton of coal mined haye been paid only for the large or first quality coal. Every ton of coal which a miner sent to the surface was first passed over. the screens and only the residue after the small coal had been screened out. was weighed and paid for. Ordinarily. q miner whc sent twenty tons of coal to the sur face would receive payment for min ing only about seventeen tons, three tons having been discarded es small coal. The men now point to the large increase in price which tho own CTS are obtaining for this small coal today as compared with the price be- fore the war. This price shows an increase from about nine shillings kz.25l to nearly eighteen shiliings tS4.50) per ton.
 Tn reply to the mems demand for an immediate increase of fifteen per cent Tn wages, the owners have made q demand for ten per cent decrease. The last dispute was patched up by Lloyd George year ago swith a.. award of q fifteen per cent increase. while the owners in return were per mittcd to add half il crown (67 cents) per ton to their wholesale price. Tn, miners now declare that the owners are making a handsome additional profit out of this half lf-crown. and also out of the sale of the small coal" md they claim their share. on the ground that the basis of their wages ! has always been the selling price of l coal. To this the owners reply that 1 all the expenses of mining other than l wages. have gone up. and that some | of their mines no longer pay to work. The balance sheets of the largest coal companies in the district which show great increase of profit during the war. figur~ prominently in the evil dence si1bmltted by the miners.
 1 While feeling in the coal reigons is at high pitch the attitude of the coun- i try at large is ore of undisguised i'm patience with any quarrel between capital and labor at q time when the energies of the country are go largely concentrated on war. Wide publicity
 has been given in the coal districts 10 an editorial in the London Times, which says:
 The argument of the owners re-
 veals q total capacity to see the
 situation IS every one else sees II They are quarreliag with the men and haggling over the division of the cx-
 eessive profits which both are extract ing from the public.
 ''It is the business of the owners to carry on an industry vital to the country without bringing 1t to a standstil by internal strife. Thes are trustees of it to the nation.s Il they cannot conduct it, then thf sooner t IS transferred to someone who can the better

deadlock was pnly avcried nv th" n- teryention Of Lloyd George. who sum marlv granted most of the miners .lemards over the protests of the YWners.
 The demand LOW made by the min CTS may le summarized is follows.
 Imme6iate concession of q fifteen Der cent advaace in wages to cover he increased cost of living
 An independent audit of the coal owners books to show exactly what ars the profits on all classes of coal over a long period Of years:
 That the financial relation or wages to profits be ultimately arranged so that he percentage shall b. the same as before the wal
 Payment to be made for small coal henceforth on tonnage rate to be established by later negotiations:
 That the selling price Of coal be henccforth established Dv a competent independent authority on basis of the standard wage paid.
 lt is evident from this complicated and elaborate series of demands. that s settlement must necessarily involve protraeted negotiations. The miners contend that the fifteen per cent wags increase is urgent and should be granted at once: the other demand mas be taken ny more leisureiy before
