SHOOTS AT
MIDNIGHT PROWLER
Guard illustrates Possible Attempt to
Destroy North Charlestown Rail
road Culve-t.

NORTH CHARLESTOWN, April
l9.-What may have been an attempt
to blow up the huge railroad culvcrt
at North Charlestown, spanning Little
Sugar river at a point on the Boston
is Maine line just north of the rail
road station, was frustrated shortly
before midnight by the vigilance of the
sentry on guard.
1t was about ll.30, and very dark,
when Private Cunningham, who was
on duty on the west side Of the bridge,
saw someone skulkine up the further
bank of the river. Owing to the dark
ness he was unable to form any idea
of the appearance of the prowler, al
| though the midnight visitor was not
more than thirty wards away when he
| WAS seen.
Cunningham challenged the stranger
who paid no attention TO the sentry
but continued to advance. \ second
challenge was also disregarded by tbs
skulker. At third imperative demand
of "Halt. or l fire. however, the
mysterious visitor, who was then with
in fifteen or twenty wards Of tn" sol
,jicr, turned aud ran. \ shot was fired
but apparently failed to take effect
IA rigorous search Of the surrounding
district failed to reveal any trace o.
the man or give clue to his identity.
For reasons unnecessary to mention
some people never have brain fag.

of Socialists at Stockholm
Known to Be Fomented by Germans
and Austrians, Looked Upon with
Suspicion.
WASHINGTON, April l9.-Ambassa-
dor Francis has cablcd the state depart
ment that the new Russian foreign
minister, NJ. Miliukoif, has given assur
anec that he is absolutely certain that
there is no possibility of separate
peace between Russia and the central
powers being negotiated. Similar adj
vices have reached the Entente diplo
mats here.
NJ. Miliukofr said that the Socialists
at Petrograd have not suggested a
separate peace with Germany or AUS
tria- Hungary. The most radical Gle,
ments in Russia, ON the other hand, are
advocating revolutions in the central
empires. They urge the deposition Of
Emperor William and Emperor Challcs,
their programs thereafter calling for i
universal SocialiStic peace. This move
ment is reported to he gathering
strength rapidly in Russia among the
soldiers and workingmen. The former
are falling into line again to renew the
campaign i'll the east and the working
men arr going back TO their shops tC

The gathering of Socialists at Stock

NORTH DAKOTA PLAN.
Denver, Colo, Jan. "a, 1917.
Editor Denver Labor Bulletin:

From Dakota comes a message tina.
is of vital interest to the producing
classes of Colorado, and no doubt 4
the various organizations included In
the class will only apply a little
thought to the suggestion and then
govern their actions by their thoughts,
a great amount of good can be ac-
complishcd in this state.
The farmers and the laboring peo-
pie of Dakota, tired of appealing to
corporation representatives, for laws
that would improve their conditions
and decided that they would combine
their efforts, select their own repre-
sentatives and see if the results were
not well worth the effort put forth.
1t has only been a short time since
this move was started in the Dako-
tas, however the results to date are
much more pleasing to these classes
than even the most optomistic had
hoped for when the organization was
started. There is no reason why the
same condition should not prevail in
Colorado.
The condition that has prevailed in
reference to the loan of the people 3
money in order to develop the farm
ing lands of the state, is sufficient
cause for considerable action along
the line suggested ana now is Ine
proper time for this activity to take
place.
1t has been sometime since the
people of this state signified their
approval of this method for the in
vestment of the public funds. How
ever, the activity of the corporate in
terests and the inactivity of the pro
ducing classes has made it possible
to prevent this plan being put in
operation, aid instead, the farmers of
the state, as well as the laborinc
classes, haze been compelled in most
instances to pay about 10 or IL per
cent for money that was borrowed on
exceptionally good security.
The movement in the Dakotas is
in healthy enough condition that ac-
tion along the same line is being start
ed in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Idaho
and several other Western states, and
from the reports received to date one
would be justified in prophesying
that some of the faces that have been
identified as land marks in the United
States congress for the past quar,er
of a century, will be replaced in the

UNIONS PROTEST
PRICE FOR COAL
ASK CITY COUNCIL TO IN
VESTIGATE COMBINE.
Resolution Presented at Meeting
Monday Night By Committee OF
Denver Trades and Labor
AS m bly,.

Organized labor in Denver is de-
manding that the city authorities take
steps to furnish consumers with coal
at cheaper prices than now prevail
Among the many features that enter
into the present high cost of living is
the price of fuel. Members of organ
lied labor are of the opinion that IN
Denver, right at the mouth of numer-
Gus coal mines, there is no just cause
for these ascending prices.
Acting under instructions of the
Denver Trades and Labor Assembly,
the committee on public institutions
had presented at last Monday nights
meeting of the city council, resolu-
tions adopted by the Assembly call
ing upon the mayor and city council
to investigate the present prices now
being charged for coal in this city
and, if necessary, that the mayor
take steps to establish municipal coal
yards and sell fuel at a reasonable
price to consumers.
The resolution created considerable
comment and has been featured in all
the daily papers. After being read in
council, it was referred to the judi
ciary committee. Later arrangements
were made by Clerk of Committees
Harvey f. Garman for n meeting
next Tuesday evening in the commit
tee rooms of the council. The Public
Institutions Committee of the Trades
Assembly will present reasons why
the city government should take n
hand in seeing that the small consum-
ers get square deal in the purchas-
ing of coal.
Tho resolution reads as follows:
"lnasmuch as the price Of coal has
become eNorbitant. and as the coal
fields are within "A few miles of Den
v"r; also in view Of the fact that
the Moffat Coal company asked for
and vas granted n riKht-of-way into
the city of Denver on the pretenss of
furnishing cheaper coal; also like
grant was given the Leyden Coal
COMPANY therefore, be II
Resolved. That the Denver Trades
Assembly denounce the high price of
coal; and be it further
Resolved, That committee be ap-
pointed TO present this resolution to
the city council TO demand OF the city
council an investigation of the rea-
sons and causes of such high prices:
and. be it further
Resolved, That in the event the
council docs not take action, the cont
mittee be instructed TO call upon tn,
mayor of the city of Denver to start
municipal coal yards. and sell coal 10
the working people at reasonable
prices"

near future BY real representatives of
the people.
When this condition prevails u
will not be necessary for our organi-
cations to petition congress for laws
that are essential to the welfare of
majority of the nations people, and
it will eliminate the practice of our
so-called representatives, of winking
the other eye when questions are
asked in regard to laws that are on
the nations or states statute books
and which are so-called deal letters"
on account of our representatives in
disposition to enforce them. Then,
and only then, can the people right
fully say that we need less laws ard
more enforcement.
1t is rumored that it is a growing
practice on the part of senators AM
representatives i'll this state, to urge
the appointment of some of their rela-
tives and friends, regardless of the
qualifications that they may possess.
except that they must have been de-
cidedly active in their interest in the
campaign in which these representa-
Ilves were successful.
Then a bill or series of bills will
be introduced in the Legislature that
shifts departments from one elected
officials department to that of an
other. The next move on the part of
Mr.. Senator or Representative is to
20 to the official effected and intimate
his intention of opposing these bills,
provided however, that said official
will appoint his protege to some posi-
tion in his department.
This system is what is commonly
termed blacknail, and it would be in
terestIng to know just how long the
real substantial people of the state
will allow these conditions to prevail.
Do the producing classes of TIE
state of Colorado intend to sit idly
by and be content with the charity
that is extended to them by these So
called corporation representatives, or
will they elect men from their own
ranks who will see to it that they get
that which all of the laws of justice
and equity signify that they are en-
titled to.
Their actions should be the answer
to this all-important question and the
lack of satisfactory laws and enforce
ment of the same in the past should
in no uncertain terms indicate that
the time to start the movement de-
scribed is just as soon as our ability
will permit of it's being started in an
equitable and just manner.
