Tariff Hearings Set
For Next September
Republican, Leaders Give
Thought to Rehabilitation of
Income of Government.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The question
of a general tariff policy. will be taken
up by the Ways and Means Commit.
tee of the House sometime in Septem-
Der, and it is probable that general
hearings will be opened at that time,
There is inreasing evidene that the
nome of the Government will need
decided rehabilitation before the end OF
the present fiscal year, and it is to
anticipate this situation that the Repu-
blican leaders in Congress are begin
ming to give serious thought to the
manner in which this is to be done
The question of a tariff policy is a
very uncertain one just at this time,
these leaders point out, because OF
the fact it is impossible to tell what
will be the cost of production abroad
Until Europe becomes industrially
settled this important factor in the
determination of a tariff policy in
the United States cannot be satisfac-
torily met.
The Ways and Means Committee
has already acted favorably upon bills
providing protective tariffs for op-
tical glassware, pearl buttons, a re-
duction in the taxes on fruit juices,
and a measure calling for the repeal
of the Canadian reciprocity act, which
has never been taken advantage OF
by the Canadian government.

Disagree Az To
Return Soldier Dead

Washington, Aug. 9.--It is the be-
lief of Chairman Porter and other
members Of the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs, which has been in
vestigating the question of bringing
the American soldier dead back to
this country for final burial, that with
the return of the last American troops
from France there should be no OBJ
stacle to bringing this about.
It has been the contention of the
War and State Departments that since
France wa seeking to discourage all
such movements because of the long
period Of renewed gloom which a
wholesale disinternment of soldier re-
mains would cast upon that country,
the suggestion should not be encour-
aged in the United States. General
March, chief Of staff, said that Franco
had already declined to permit Eng.
land and Italy, and even it's W cit.
liens, to remove their dead for a per.
iod of three years, and that it would
be embarrassing to France if the I'm.
tied States should insist upon the pri
vilege. It was developed, however, ir
the hearings that France and the
United States had agreed betwee,
themselves that no, bodies should be n
turned to. the United States "befor.
the end Of. the war" and Chairman
Porter has taken the position that thi
implies the right to do so after tn
war, and that other nations could no
object to the United States removin,
its dead.
The War Department officials in
formed the committee that about 70,
900 nearest relatives of deceased sol
diers and sailors had been asked a
to their desires in the matter, and tina
$4,000 had requested the return Q
the remains, 10000 had favored lett
ing them restsin1 France, and the ott
ers had made no response.

Declares President
Misled as to Mexico

Washington, Aug. civilian Cat
es Of Baltimore, an archaeologist, in
testifying before the House Rules
Committee in hearings on the Gould
Resolution for CT inquiry into Mex
lean matters declared the Carranza
regime in Mexico is mot a govern
ment but a band Of outlaws, both tech
nically and practically" He asserted
the rule Of Carranza was utterly inn
possible and ian. enemy of its own
people first and America second"
Mr.. Gatese said his opinions were
based on what he had personally seen
in travelling through the country for
about a year beginning in July, 1917.
In that time he. visited Yucatan, Vera
Cruz, Pueblo and various Mexican
states Ito find out What was going
on behind the veil of our censorship
and the Carranza censorship" He
depicted Carranza's control as one en-
forced by troops and covering the
main ports and railroads with scanty
territory on each side. Mr:.Gates told
the Committee that the President was
misled in deciding to recognize Car
rama and was not fully informed Of
conditions. He>thought private inter-
ests were being served in the back
ground.
Mr.. Gates statement that he did
not think the President was fully in
formed was looked upon by members
of the Committee as the more inter
esting in view Of the fact the Admin:
istration had special investigators il
Mexico with full opportunity to fine
out the fats.

Death of Vivian Fritz

The death of Vivian Fritz last
Friday evening, Oct. "a, at the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. E. Fritz, in Black Hawk,
cast pail of sorrow over the
county, altho it was known that
his condition was such that no
hope could be held for his recov-
cry and that the end could be ex-
pected any day. He was born in
Greenleaf, Kans., thirty years ago
last April, but the twenty-four
years that he had resided in the
county had surrounded him with
wide circle of friends who had
hoped that providence might
spare the young man>to the life
so full of worth and promise, that
he might round out the career of
usefulness so firmly established.
His death was due largely to two
attacks of the flu he suffered in
the early part of the year, which
undermined his health, altho it
was first learned that he was not
as strong physically as he appear
ed due to a weak heart, when he
volunteered for military service
when his country entered the war.
He was engaged in the grocery
business in Black Hawk at the
time and a short time after he
learned that he could not qualify
for service, he accepted a position
as assistant cashier of the Colo
RADIO Packing company in Denver,
and held the position until he
came home sick on the 18th of
July. His popularity among the
citizens of Black Hawk was dem
onstrated when he was elected to
the responsible position of city
treasurer before going to Denver.
Services were held at the Fritz
home Sunday afternoon and were
largely attended by the members
of the Woodmen, of which he was
a member, and friends. Rev. Mr..
Putcamp, of Denver, read the
Christian Science funeral service.

Anybody Here Seen Fuller?

Edmund Fuller and Thomas A.
MacCulloch, who operated a group
of mines in the Russell Gulch Sec
tion during the summer and failed
to pay the men and other credit
ors, are wanted in Boulder county
for failing to pay the men they
had working on the Black Rose
property in the Sugar Loaf sec
ton. The men claim to have $500
coming for wages. Fuller was
in Denver until a short time ago,
but the Labor Commissioner has
been unable to locate him the past
two or three weeks. He is out of
Jail on bond of $500, awaiting
trial in the district court here on
a charge of having obtained labor
and services under false preten-
ses. His partner, MacCulloch, is
charged with the same offense,
but has been able thus far to
evade service. He is presumed to
be in the east. 1t is not known
where Fuller is, but if he doesn't
show up for trial at the April
term of court, the county funds
will be increased S3500.

Miners Insist On
Thirty Hour Week

The present coal wage scale is
the result of an agreement be-
tween United Mine Workers and
the bituminous coal operators as
sociations, with the United Fuel
Administration as a third party
at interest. 1t was made in April
with an agreement that it should
continue for the period of the war
or until March 81, 1920. The wage
for outside day laborers under
this scale is SIS day, and the ton
mage rates are such that the ac-
tual coal miner under ordinary
conditions can earn about $40 a
day of eight hours.
With six operating days per
week this wage scale would pro-
vide very good earnings for all
the men around the mines but
when the mines are operated but
three. days per week the outside
laborer earns only $15 and the
tonnage miner only $50 per week.
In the exceptionally situated
mines where steady operation is
the rule the coal miners are MAX
ing big money, with many of them
no doubt earning as much as
$4,000 per year. An Illinois OPP
orator whose mines are well To-
Gated says every one of his miners
who worked every day that the
mine operated last year earned
more than $500 after deducting
for powder and other mine sup
plies. The great majority, how
ever, are undoubtedly operating
under conditions which give them
little more than three days work
per week, with consequent earn
ings in the neighborhood of 81 500
per year.
1t is out of this intermittent op-
Grafton primarily that the demand
for the six-hour day, with five
days work per week, has arisen.
The miners seeing mines operat-
ed only 80 hours a week during
three days, profess to see no rea-
son why the 80 hours cannot be
regulated and distributed over
five days per week. The other de-
mand of the miners for 60 per
cent incrsdse in wages is based
upon the argument that there has
been an increase of something
like 60 per cent in the cost of liv-
ing since the agreement was
reached in April, 1917. However,
this wage demand is held to be
to a large extent a talking point,
as the mine workers officials at
least know perfectly well that
when the three-year agreement
was made they insisted upon a
substantial increase in anticipa-
tion of probable increases in the
cost of living.

Colorado Mining Development

1t is commonly considered that
mining outranks all other indus
tries in Colorado but the state
has not developed mineral resour-
ces. Whether it is too much rad
icalism in the ranks of mining un-
ions or too much labor agitation
in political way, mineral produc-
tion is weak and industries based
on mining are not flourishing.
. The Colorado Merchants and
Manufacturers association annual
report shows total production of
manufactured goods, live stock,
and field crops for 1918 aggregat-
ed $533, 100000, as against $32,-
6S4,954 for precious and common
metals.
Take the sugar industry in the
y west, with about one hundred re-
finerics and by-products helping
to finish $100,0o0,000 worth of
livestock that has outstripped
mineral production, it has not
been subject to radicalism.
Colorado to flourish needs lib
eral policies, less radicalism,
greater abundance of agriculture
and mining labor, and greater Sc
curity for capital and labor to de-
p velop the state.-Manufacturer.
