A labor strike cannot be considered
local and it no longer applies entirely
to the employer and employe affected.
1t is public matter. The whole peo-
pie have interests. The closing of the
Leadville mines for brief time affect
ed the whole state. 1t reached to
Denver and to the principal railroads
of the state, requiring the reduction of
crews.
No good could come from continu-
ing the tie-up. At the end of a month
or six months, nothing would have
been gained by either side. But a
great deal would have been lost by
both sides-unrecoverable losses.
With arbitration by an independent
body, the claims of both sides can be
presented and the public will have in
formation regarding the rights and
wrongs of it. We hope the arbitration
board will go into the whole question
at length, dealing with costs of living
and of operation of the mines, the
prices paid to the operators by the
smelters and the prices charged the
public by the metal sellers, the ques-
tion of royalties paid to the owners
of properties, the "unearned incre-
ment" as some call it, and everything
that can shed light on the situation

ARBITRATION AT LEADvILLE.

There never was good reason why
operations in the Leadville district
should have ceased for a day. There
never was a good reason why the
operators association should have re-
fused to treat with representatives of
the men. The single fact that the
operators themselves were banded for
defense took away any excuse they
had for refusal to treat with a re-
sponsible labor organization-and the
union at Leadville is affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, which
has been given full recognition in all
things pertaining to war organization
by the national executive.
The day of individual bargaining is
gone with the dodo. Economic condi-
Decentralization of capital and
Capitalization of labor-make this

Whenever labor trouble looms there
are found combinations on both sides.
When the railroad brotherhoods made
their demands on the railroad corpor-

When there is threatened trouble in

COAL MINERS MEET
OFFICERS OF THE
CT. COMPANY
FIRST TIME TO CONFER
WITH UNION HEADS.
No Immediate Demand for Increase in
Wages, But Recognition of the
Union to Be Considered.

Preliminary skirmishing marked the
proceedings of the first day of the
conference between officials of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company and
the representatives of the labor organ
izations and the employees at the Ok
ford hotel in Denver Thursday. The
occasion was notable in that it is the
first time in the history of the COM
pany that officials have formally met
union leaders to discuss grievances.
The main issue concerns objections of
the workers to the "Rockefeller in
dustrial PLAN" formulated after
lengthy visit of John d. Rockefeller,
Jr., to the southern coal camps two
years ago.
While no formal statement is forth
coming of the demands that will be
made by the men, it is understood that
among other things, they will ask rec
ognition of their union, and that
grievances and adjustments rising
over the discharge of the workers,
with the pay therefor. be considered
by joint committee composed of rep
resentatives of the company and of
the union. 1t is understood that there
will be no immediate demand for an
increase of wages and both employees
and officials of the company are con-
fident that there will be no strike.
No Agreement Reached.
A controversy arose over the place
for holding the meeting. 1t was I'M
derstood that the conference would
take place in the office of the state
industrial commission but the labor
leaders objected and urged that il be
held at the headquarters Of the Unit
ed Mine Workers Of America at the

Some Big Deals

Roach Thomas and w. H. Hol-

chased the Mrs. Ada Collier farm
near Mckenzie. The considera-
ton was $4,000. The farm con-
TOMS 900 acres of very fine land.
Mr.. Holland gets the improve
ments and Mr.. Thomas will build
on the south end of the tract, and,
we understand, will erect a splen-

real estate to the amount of S14,-
600, and Mr.. Thomas received
$19,50O from a railroad company
for injuries sustained while con-

PRIMARY RESULTS
EnOchs, Hester, Alden, Jarrett
Palmer and McCollum Win

The primary last Friday passed
off very quietly, with nothing of
unusual interest occurring. The
candidates and their friends put
in hard days work, and in some
of the races much interest was
manifested. The closest contest
proved to be between Will Nc
Collum and Roscoe Montgomery
for register. Mr.. McCollum won
over his closest opponent by only
48 votes.
The race for judge grew very
exciting, and some pretty lively
circulars were put into circulation
that gave spice to the contest, but
Judge Enochs defeated his oppo-
nent by a large majority.
A large crowd was here Friday
night and watched the returns as
they came in with much interest.
The official returns. as published
in another place in this paper,
show the total vote as well as the
vote by districts received by each
candidate.
The successful candidates were
for Judge, Wilson Enochs; sheriff,
is. q. Alden; county court clerk,

lB. 0. Palmer; trustee, j. I. Hes
ter, and register, Will McCollum,

GETS $50 FINE
Arrested With One Pint Of Whis-
key on Him

Bill Bigham, colored, is in
trouble again. City Marshal j.
F. Jolly landed on him Sunday
evening as he got off the train and
found him in possession of one pint
of bootleg. City Recorder Eason
Monday morning placed a fine of
$50 against him. He secured the
fine and was released.
Bigham, as we'll as others, had
been going to Hollow Rock juno
ton so often of late that the Of
fcers became suspicious. Coupled
with this fact there were evidences
that whisky was getting into the
town in some way. 1t is currently
reported that somebody is doing a
land-ofice business in the whisky
line at the junction. The local OF
fcers decided that they would
make some Investigations in SO far
as Huntingdon was concerned, and,
if possible, break up the line lead
ing into this place.
If reports be true about the
conduct at the junction, it is time
the county officials and railroad
detectives were getting busy and
calling halt on the liberal use Of
whisky about that place. 1t is
charged here, but we can't say
with what authority, that some
body connected with the railway
service at Paducah or the junction,
is responsible for this violation OF
the law. 1t is a matter that should
be looked into.

Peculiar English.

An English officer who had been,
through mistake, reported "killed in
action" on his return from the front
went to his bank to cash one of his
checks.
The clerk at the counter, instead of
asking the welcome question, GLOW
will you take it ?" looked doubtful and
puzzled, stared at the soldier, and
finally hurried away to seek advice
elsewhere. He presently returned
with the news that the check could not
be cashed.
"But you know me, and that is my
signature!" exclaimed the astonished
officer.
"M-yes," said the clerk hesitating-
ly. "But the fact is, sir, that YOU'RE

contrary before we can pay the mon
