Machinists

Benjamin Franklin Perry, business
representative of District No. 20, is
in St. Joseph's hospital, where his left
eye-ball was removed by an operation
peri formed this week. In 1902, dur
ing the Union Pacific strike, Perry
was slugged on the head by strike
breaker. The injury received at that
time to his eye has gradually grown
worse until it began to affect the
nerves of the uninjured organ so that
an operation was made necessary.
w. F. Evans, business agent of No.
AT, went to Cheyenne Thursday of this
week to audit the books of the local
union there and install new roster
of officers.
Joel Beahler, employed at the Bur-
lington shops, was struck on the head
with a piece of machinery last week
and seriously injured. However, he
was able to visit headquarters We'd
nesday with his head swathed in
bandages.

Reason for Trade Union Opposition"
This union is affiliated to the Inter-
national Union of Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers. On April last it
issued call for mass meeting to
discuss greater organization in this
district. One week later the mine
operators posted notice of 10 per
cent wage increase, effective from the
first of the month. On September 26
the union asked the operators to in
crease wages As cents a day for min
ers and muckers and 40 cents a day
for machine men. On December 1
the operators announced that wages
would be increased so cents day
above the April l scale.
"What have the Leadville miners
gained as a result? ?" asks the union,
in its statement. son a basis of 26
working days per month an increase
of 321a cents per day amounts to
$S.45 per month, for eight months,
$3.50 per man. You found the addi-
tional sum handy, didn't you? You
needed it. You could stand more.
Upon that basis the 1,2OO miners of
Leadvllle have already enjoyed wage
increase aggregating $81 200.
"a 50-cent increase means $13 per
month, S156 per man per year. Union
men believe that such sum is a good
return on an investment of dollar
a month. They believe that it is the
duty of every mine worker to con-
tribute a like sum for the benefit of
all. The 50-cent increase will add
$182,700 to the wages of the miners.
What did you do to secure it? We
benefited you as well as ourselves; |;
join hands with US.
"The end is not yet. The unions
demand includes a further increase of
25 cents day. Nothing else would
do so much to insure a favorable de-
'cision and acquiescence in it by the
operators as the knowledge that every
miner in Leadville was a member of
the Miners Union"

THE DRAFT IN THE RANGE.

American people have a very high
appreciation of the humor of English
men, and have been specially tickled
by story Colonel Cody used to tell.
He said that some years ago an Eng
lishman who had never been in the
West before was his guest. They
were riding thru Rocky mountain
canon one day when suddenly tre-
mendous gust of wind came swooplng
down upon them and actually carried
the Englishman clean off the wagon
seat. After he had been picked up,
he combed the sand and gravel out OF
his whiskers and said:

ton in this countryn-Tit-Bits.

Bakers
CBy Ray LowderbaclS.}

Last Saturday night Bakers Local
Union No. 26 held an entertainment
and luncheon which was a great sue
cess. There were around two hundred
present, in fact the hall was filled to
its capacity, being decorated for the
occasion, and an abundance of beauti-
full flowers adorned the tables, which
were donated by the Boldt floral COM
rany. Entertainment was provided
by the following: Brother Alfonso;
Miss Ruby Williams, Joseph Muzic, jr.,
Miss Reid, Miss Edna Green, Ray
Lowderback, jr., Miss Hazel Lowder-
back, and a string instrument trio of
Brothers Wilson, Richardson and COM
pany, which was enjoyed by all pres
ent. Splendid talks were made by
Earl Hoage, w. c. Thornton, and Miss
MCGEE and our president, Raymond
Ried
The committee desires to express its
appreciation for all who took part in
this entertainment.
After concluding the entertainment,
luncheon was served, the ladies being
served first. Two large tables seating
about seventy-fve persons were filled.
After the ladies, the men were served.
Then the string instrument trio, ac-
companied by Brother Alfonso, on the
accordian, played while we all enjoyed
ourselves until the hour of midnight
arrived, when all took their departure.
The entertainment being such sue
cess, there is talk of another in the
near future The committee also de-
sires to thank the members for the
assistance given them, as all were
willing to do their part, which means
that the key to success has been found
by Local No. 26, and enthusiasm given
the members that surely will bring
results. This entertainment will be
long remembered.
Now, brothers, don't forget that
our next meeting will be March "a;
A pleasant surprise will be given all
who attend this meeting. Also our
new agreement will most likely be
back from international headquarters
and a good, reliable committee VIII
need be appointed to present the same
to the bosses. This is important. Also
don't forget to try and bring in that
application as we must have a lO0
per cent organization before May l.

MANY ARE CLAIMS FUR EXEMPT BUT
 FEW ARE GRANTED

The district appeal board yesterday heard a large number of cases of men not wishing to go to war, claims for exemption ranging all the way from aliens to a medical student and lungs ten miners. The board reversed the decision of the lower board in several instances, but sustained that board in the most of the cases on appeal. Nearly all cases of agriculture were given temporary exemption to harvest crops or sell ount and get ready for war.
 William Reinholm of Clarkdale ap- healed from a decision of the lower board on the ground he was an alien. He had taken out his first papers and therefore was eligible for military service. The board said he would have to go to the war. He said he would appeal to the president, which he can not do.
 l. L. Parkhurst was granted ex- emption by the lower board, but the case was appealed by County Attorney Laney and the lower boards decision was reversed by the appeal board. Prospectors and miners operating individual or small mines who claimed exemption on industrial ground met with denial by the board. One case in particular was that of three tungsten mine operators at Yucca namely, J. (. Kerr Wm M. Klotsch and J. C. Downey. They said that tungsten was valuable metal in war time and that they should be exempted in order that they might continue to mine 1t. Their claim was denied.
 The board will hold an adjourned session today. and regular session next Wednesday.
 The following are the cases heard and passed upon yesterday: O. H. Kidwell, Gila, dependency ap- peal; lower board sustained: A. j. Linville, Phoenix, dependency appeal: lower board sustained. J. L. Parkhurst, Chandler. allowed discharge by lower board, account of dependency; lower board reversed on appeal taken by county attorney for the provost marshal general. o. K.

A GRAPE TREAT-B. E

A GRAPE TREAT-B. E. Prince yesterday brought to this office large box of grapes, enough to satisfy all the attaches of the office. There are two varieties grown in the four-acre vine yard of MT. Prince four miles north west of the city. There are flaming tokays and cornichons. A great many people are of the opinion that the cor nchons cannot be grown in this coun- try, but no better ones in color, size. flavor and heaviness of cluster can be found anywhere. The tokays lack something of the color Of the California tokay, but they make up for it in flavor, being rather sWeeter and more juicy than the coast grapes of the same variety. Mir Prince has other varie- ties which have not yet reached matur- ity. The grape crop in the valley this year has been a rather profitable one the demand for them being heavier than ever before and that demand will now probably increase from year to year

fawn-cOlored earth lay the city In all
its beauty, and in all its sadness" The
most striking feature is the long colon
made stretching from the base Of the
Castle Hill up to the Triple or Trt-
umphal Arch at the eastern end, facing
the mighty temple Of the sun. Beyond
is the Arabian desert, and there, on the
borders, one solitary column seems to
point towards the Euphrates and PEI
STA, the loneliest and saddest thing In
all Palmyra. Originally there were
four rows of columns, about fifteen
hundred in all, but only one hundred
and fifty remain. ....
The chief pieces Of sculpture had
been put into the barracks out OF
harms way: one is very fine torso
of the God of Wine holding drink
ing cup, and another is part Of sar-
cophagus with four heads on 1t. Near
the colonnade lying in a mingled heap
were some beautiful specimens OF
cornices and capitals. The modern vii
lage is built of miserable mud huts
inside the Temple of the Sun, and
much disfigures it; but this is of little
concern to the BedOuin.
Should the spirit of ZenObia still
haunt her ruined city, one can imagine
her standing beside the lonely column.
