PRIMARY ELECTION TUESDAY,:
LIGHT VOTE THRUoUT STATE

from the state that there was a very
light vote in nearly every county in

The race of Nicholson and Schuyler

fact that it will take the official
count to determine. The Democrat
candidates are close. with Callicotte
gaining on Scott for the nomination

been nominated over Higgins for gov
ernor.
Merle D. Vincent and Webb s.
Whinnery, candidates for the con-
gressional nomination ran close in
many OF the % counties of the 4th
district, with Vincent leading by
about 300. Several counties are to
hear from, and this contest will likely
take the official count to fully deter
mine

contest for any nomination. Ding
man and Goddard, Republicans, ran
close, in fact, on the face of the re-
turns Goddard leads Dingman about
so votes

COLORADO PACKING CORPORA
TION ISSUES STATEMENT

Regarding the walkout of a num-
ber of women at the canning factory
recently:
1t has always been the policy of
the Colorado Packing Corporation
when starting a new pack to pay at
the start premium to the girls do
ing the preparation work. This is
necessary in order to insure an even
and average wage. since in starting
new pack the girls are not accus-
toned to the particular work requir-
ed and are consequently not as rapid
and skilful as practice makes them.
AS the girls become more expert,
this premium is gradually reduced
until right and proper scale of
wages has been reached. A Gamer,
whether large or small, must hold
production costs within a reasonable
limit else the finished product can
not be sold on a competitive basis.
The misunderstanding with some of
the women was due to a slight reduc-
tion in the rate paid for pears. The
wage paid all women employed was
somewhat over $500. and many made
over 5000. this in an eight hour day.
The Colorado Packing corporation
has always paid. and will continue to
pay both its men and women en-
ployees proper wages, and extend
them any consideration consistent
with good business principles.

HARVARD NOW AHEAD IN

NEW LONDON, Conn, June Go
Harvard is leading Yale in the annual

ty-six as result Of yesterdays
classic. The Crimson oarsmen rowed
Yale ragged" vindicating the Amer
lean stroke and method OF Coach Bill
Haines and throwing Guy Nickalls

Badly beaten, utterly "plucked,"
Yale's oarsmen traiied the Harvard
shell fully 800 yards at the finish.
Yale's men were tuckered out long be-
fore the line was reached. Six lengths
in the rear Of Harvard's strong crew,
stroked by Jenny a 140-pound young
ster, the yale men carried the dead
weight of Peters who had collapsed.
Harvard's crew simply killed off
the Eli oarsmen at the start OF the
four-mile race, and had plenty left
to finish while Yale was done. The
time 23:11, was slow, but demon
strated considerably more than either
physical ability or Workmanship.

Says Jones Is Sole Accep-

Max Marston, who was made captain,
of the prospective team, states that
In spite OF all the hard work he has
done on the arrangements, 1t has not
been possible to get together a repre-
sentative team of American players.
and that all plans have therefore been
called off.
The u. 8. G. A. has been working

American golf team since last Febru-
ary, and where 1t had failed to get
together all Of the players 1t was
hoped to take over for the British
amateur and the Oxford-Cambridge
match, now called off. the committee
figured there should be no serious
difficulty in getting together a team
a little later to compete in the Olym-
pics. This team was to have been
taken care Of" but evidently the
Olympics have not presented enough
attractions, and the youthful golfing
talent of the land have almost all
sent the same answers to Marston,
