hearty cooperation with governmental
efforts.
The city proposes to handle only
lignitci the poor mans coal" and
Mayor Speer now is urging upon Dem
yer residents the immediate necessity
of laying in their supplies of bitumin-
Gus coal for the coming winter. Pre-
paredness in this line on the part of
those who can afford it, he points out,
may assist materially in relieving the
situation or in preventing its becoming
more acute.
The mayor believes the establish
ment by the city of coal yards, rails,
etc. to be inadvisable. and is consid-
ering only the retail sale of coal at the
lowest prices at which it can be pur-
chased wholesale. He congratulates
the operators of Colorado on their at
titude toward the plan, most of them
having regarded the sale of their
product to the city as n patriotic duty,
Notwithstanding that considerably
higher prices can be obtained in the
East.
The present plan. which will be in
more definite shape within a few days.
provides for the sale of coal by the
city only to persons of limited circum-
stances. While il is not intended that
prospective purchasers shall make out
afiidavits as to their incomes, it is
likely that each consumer will be asked
to indicate that his income is not above
n certain amount.
The object of this proviso is to pre-
vent the well-to-do from buying large
quantities from the city outright. and
is in accord with the principles upon
which the donation of coal, food, cloth
ing and other necessities is granted by
the city to some and denied to others.
The opinion entertained by some of
the ultraoptimistic that no actual coal
shortage exists is not concurred in by
the city authorities. who have consis-
tently expressed the belief that the
situation requires immediate attention
and drastic measures, and may be-
come much more serious. 1t is in
pursuance of this belief that the pres
ent efforts are being made.
The shortage is attributed princi-
pally to scarcity of labor and lack of
adequate railroad facilities.

Especial Corr-spondence1

FLORENCE, Colo, August 1S.-At
a mass meeting held in this city at
Goodhead's hall, attended by thinking
people, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, In the trial of Tom
Mooney, a member in good standing
in the International Molders Union for
the past fourteen years, he was con-
victed and is in imminent danger of
being railroaded to the gallows on a
trumped-up charge, and on the most
brazen and contradictory testimony;
and
Whereas, 1t has been proven that
the testimony of Estelle Smith, Crow
ley and Mcdonald, used to convict
Warren X. Billings, is a fiat contra
diction to the evidence of OXman, used
to convict Mooney; and
Whereas, Twenty-one alibi witness
es, numerous photographs and time
clocks have established an unmistak-
able alibi; and
Whereas, The verdict is at total
variance with the evidence produced,
and is the result of the prosecutions
past six months activity in the public
press of Misrepresentation of facts
and an appeal to the most severe pref
udices of the public; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the thinking
people of Florence, affirm our belief
in the innocence of Thomas J. Mooney
and his co-defendants, and pledge them
our aid in their efforts to secure jus
tice; and, be it further
Resolved, That copy of these reso-
lutions be forwarded TO the labor and

The Denver municipal administra-

tracts already have been closed and the

Altho certain details of the municip-
nj coal scheme have not yet been re-
vealed, it is known that the system is
unique in this country. and Denver is
reputed to be the first city to under
take the sale of coal at cost. The press
of the East is congratulating Denver
on the plan, and inquiries already have
been received from administration Off
cials in several of the larger cities,
where similar action is contemplated.
The idea is being worked out by Mayor
Specr, George A. Levy. chief of the
industrial bureau. and others, who will
explain them in detail as soon as COM
pleted.
