An ordinance concerning street sign.
and another concerning misdemeanors
were placed on final passage and or
dered published
The question of the subway at the
south end of the footbridge came up
for discussion to determine who 10 re.
sponsible for keeping the same in a
clean and sanitary condition. The D.
q B. G. Railroad company disclaims
any obligation to keep it in repair,
according to a letter from the com
parr &c the board. The board finally

Tripartite Ownership and Con.
troll Of Railroads With Union
Labor Chief Factor
PUT UP TO CONGRESS

Washington, Aug. 4.-organized IA
Dor came out today with formal de-
mand that private capital be retired
from the railroads. Tripartite con.
troll, composed of the public, operating
management and employees was d.
manded instead. They addressed tho
demand to the American public, 4
1t was signed by the engineers, fire
men and conductors. The American
Federation of Labor, in a formal
statement just issued, announcing the
proposal which will be carried before
congress Wednesday, marks, says the
statement a step by which organized
labor passes from the demands for
wage increases to demands that the
system of profits in industry be over
hauled. The plan is recognized every-
where.
Washington thinks it the most seri-
Gus and far-reaching proposition the
country could be called upon to face.
1t is put forth as a remedy for the
high cost of living, because they say
the railroads are the key to the indus
try of the nation.
The following are the demands:
Private capital be eliminated from
railroads.
Private owners receive government
bonds with fixed interest on the re-
turn for every honest dollar invested.
That tripartite control be estab-
lished in corporations which shall lease
the roads, in which the public, oper-
ating arrangements and labor be rep.
resented equally.
That the public, operators and the
wage earners share equally in all reve-
nue. in excess of the guarantee to pri-
vate capital.
By granting to the operators and
employees half of the savings which
are expected, the public will get the
other half, either by increasing the
service without adding costs, or by
reducing the costs.

10000 IN SWIFT PACKING
HOUSES SHARE PROFITS

Chicago, Aug. 5.-More than 10000
employees of Swift & Co. today are
vested with part ownership in tho
packing concern. Announcement has
just been made of the results that
came of the gigantic profit sharing
plan recently offered by the company

the treasury some time ago afforded
the company an opportunity which it
had long sought-to offer shares to en-
ployes at par. Accordingly the stock
subscription books were opened last
May on the following plan:
Each employee earning up to go .

share of stock at its par value, 4100.

Because Of Mechanical Trou-
Bile Flying Circus will
Reach Us a Week Late
NO Definite DATE SET

It was great disappointment to
Glenwood to learn early this week that
the visit Of the o. 8. flying circus to
this city had been unavoidably delayed
by reason of a break in one of the
machines.
The first intimation of the delay
came in local story in the Salt Lake
Tribune Of the date of August s.,
which gave the date of arrival in Salt
Lake as tomorrow, August 10. Mayor
barrow at once took the matter up
with Salt Lake and Grand Junction
and thus verified the report of the
delay.
Why Glenwood has not been official
ly notified by the officers in charge Of
the flying circus of their probable date
of arrival in this city cannot be stated,
but we are prepared for the big event
and will make every possible effort to
notify all surrounding towns of the
date the machines are to arrive, but
this cannot be done until definite news
has been received from the party in
ehScge. Our information is 80 meager
at Ills time that the Post does not
feel warranted in venturing a guess as
to the date the machines will arrive
here. You may depend upon it, how
ever, that the Chamber of Commerce
committee having the matter in charge
will make every effort possible to mott
fy the people just as soon as they re-
ceive definite information.
The following is the story which ap-
peared in the Salt Lake Tribune.
Sunday will mark the arrival of four
DE Haviland airplanes, composing the
Ellington flyers or the government
"flying circus" in Salt Lake, accord
ing to telegraphic dispatch which
reached the Commercial club yesterday
The message, signed by Lieutenant
Kilgore, publicity director of the cir
Gus, said that the planes were now at
San Francisco, where they were de-
layed by mechanical trouble.
The planes are expected to leave on
their air journey toward Salt Lake to-
morrow. Stops will be made at Sacra-
mento, CAL, and Reno, Elko and Sc
crest New, before reaching this city.

FRIENDLESS old man
ROBBED OF LIBERTY
Young Wife Tired Of Aged
Husband Sends Him
To Asylum

A legal travesty was enacted here
Monday when an aged and friendless
old man was railroaded to the
asylum. and public sentiment is
aroused to the boiling point.
Old man James Bear.who has pass
ed his eightieth birthday, was the
victim. Living bachelor until he
was 65 years old Uncle Jim married
a very young woman. He formerly
lived in the Taffy neighborhood.
About twelve years ago he bought
property in Hartford and moved here.
The expected happened, and the old
man and the young wife disagreed.
The breach widened and an actual.

may properly be described as odd
and childish" Monday morning his
wife made affidavit that uncle jim
was a lunatic. Trial was held i'm
mediately. and two hours later the
old man was on his way to the asy-
lum, at Hopkinsville. The evidence,
according to citizens who heard it,
did not justify the verdict of insanity,
and some of the jurors. after the trial,
expressed doubts ii the verdict was

said he knew he was never a Soloman

mind was somewhat enfeebled be-
cause OF his age, but that he was not

went To Hopkinsville to consult the
