VALLEY GARAGE MEN MEET
Banquet at Park House.-To Advertise
Santa Fe Trail and Arkansas
Valley by Use Of Maps.
Freak Laws.

A meeting of the Arkansas Valley
Garage Mems Association was held
here Wednesday evening. The sudden
drop in temperature prevented as large
an attendance from outside points as
was expected, but in spite of this fact
there was a good representation from
Lamar, Las Animas, Rocky Ford and
other towns of the valley. A splendid
dinner was served to the members of
the association at the Park House, the
menu including everything good in the
culinary line. and those who had
driven long distances through the cold
did ample justice to the dainties pro-
vided.
After the dinner the assemblage ad-
journed' to the Boys Club building,
where the business session was held.
t. ]. Elder, of Rocky Ford, acted as
chairman and Charles Owens, as sec
retary. The first matter considered
was the proposition of placing signs
along the Santa Fe Trail in the vicin-
ny VI hdHsds lily ana Otner hanSaS
points, for the purpose of advertising
the Arkansas Valley of Colorado, and
inducing as many tourists as possible
to take this route.
An animated discussion ensued as to
whether or not the results justified the
expense. The suggestion was made
that the judicious use of the proper
kind of maps would be better and
cheaper method of advertising, AMI
this suggestion was finally adopted.
Maps having the Arkansas Valley
route conspicuously displayed, can be
purchased for less than twenty cents
each, and other forms of printed ad-
vertising will be used in connection.
A delegation will be sent to the D-C-D
Highway convention at Canadian
Texas, on April oath, and some adver-
tising will be done on this occasion. A
committee will be appointed to confer

STOCKMEN MEET
Annual Meeting of the Bent and Prov.
ers County Cattle and Horse
Growers Association.

There was a large attendance last
week on Wednesday at Las Animas for
the annual meeting of the members of
the Bent and Prowers County Cattle
and Horse Growers Association. The
association has beer in existence for
81 years and has always been one of
the most active organizations in the
valley for the last half century, but
the slump which struck the entire
stock industry two years ago has act
led as a wet blanket on most of the
members and it eeemed as if the lack
of interest would cause the final su-
spension of the associations work.
The call for the meeting specially
emphasized that the officers wished
an expression on that subject. The
meeting, however, was enthusiastically
in favor of continuing the work. The
recent revival of The markets for stock
of all kinds has had a rejuvcnating
effect on the spirits of all interested
in stockraising. and they were out in
force to see that there was no let-up
in the work of the association for the
protection of the men engaged in the
industry.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: Boone Best of
otero county, president; ]. A. Stinson
of Baca county, 1gt vice-president; C.
w. Sweitzer of Kiowa county, End vice
president. For so many years that
the memory of present day citizens
runneth not back to its beginning, it
has been the custom annually to unan-
mas as treasurer and NJ. J. McMillin
of Carlton as secretary, and this form
ality was performed as usual at this
years meeting. Mr.. McMillin, though,
on whom has fallen the burden of the
hard work of maintaining the organ
ization for so many years, refused to
accept the position. He thanked the
members for their confidence and
trust in him, but stated that it would
be impossible for him to carry the
burden longer. There was much dis
c..ssion and many attempts to get him
to reconsider but lie said the best he
could do would be to take the position
of assistant secretary and assist the
new man in getting the run of the
associations affairs. Accordingly Ar
thur Dean of Las Animas was elect
ed secretary and Mr.. McMillin assist
ant secretary. The usual assessment
was voted, and the meeting adjourn

Destroying The Snow Ball.

Radical labor organizations main
tain their power ard control today
through fear.
Like the SNOWFALL rolling down hill,
so with the radical organized labor
movement; it grows larger and larg-
er as it goes until through its very
size or striking q snag, it is split wide
open.
Organized labor today is in criti-
cal situation. The average workman
is a plain everyday American citizen
who believes in his constitutional
rights to life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness.
He has been dictated to by radical
leaders for many years. He has gone
out on strikes as ordered and obeyed
the commands of the radical labor
leaders because he was afraid of the
consequences if he refused. Fear for

his very life, as well as his family,
has caused him to strike many times,
against his better judgment.
The same with employers. They
have given in to unjust demands thru
fear of consequences if they refused.
AS the unwiedly labor organizations
have rolled forward with their multi
plying arbitrary demands, they have
been crushing out the thought of fear
in the minds of both employer and
workman and forcing in the idea of
self-preservation.
Driven to the limit of endurance,
employers and employees have about
reached the point where they will
break the SNOWFALL of labor dictation
wide open. Already we see this TAX
ing place in the growing number of
"open shops" the country over.
Every arbitrary strike that is now
called simply hastens the day of the
snow balls destruction.

assistant chief mining engineer. was
loaned to act as expert adviser. Mr..
Van Sicklen is a Columbia graduate
and was in Mexico with the Towne
interests He had himself been
mine manager and operator across
the line in Missouri. Then he threw
up his job and went to help Uncle
Sam whip the kaiser. He was called
into the bureau Of mines to help out
the war minerals relief commission in
examining mines in connection with
claims for relief and then drifted into
the regular work of the bureau:
Having had actual experience in
operating a mine, he made an exami-
nation and report and laid out plan
Of development just the same as he
would for the Guggenheims or the
Towne interests or some other Dig
mining corporation. On this basis
the commissioner of Indian affairs
and the Secretary of the Interior
made new leases. which, it is be-
lieved, will lead to the best possible
working of these mines.
Under the old leases made twenty
years ago, when nothing much was
known about the value of these
lands, the Indians got per cent. and
under the system of subleases the
man actually operating the mine paid
171h to 20 per cent. Under the new
system of lease the Indian gets ~
per cent, double the amount he form
erly received, and the company that
takes the first lease on the whole
group of, properties is bound down
to very definite requirements, and II
he subleases Is allowed to charge
only 12h per cent. 1t is figured that
this ~ per cent average compen-
safes for work by the first lessee,
which makes it unnecessary for the
department to put in a consideraoie
force of checkers, weighers, etc.
It's advantage for the Indian Is NOT
to have his lease traded upon, Win
subleasers paying 17h to 20 per cent
as against 121s per cent. because II
a man pays high royalty he will oniy
work the high-grade ore and the
mine will last only short time. Ihe
new leases, instead Of holding down
tho length Of the mine, increases inc
work done and In various ways
works out q better economic "e%as
for all parties interested.
: More cooperation of this sort would
forestall what reorganizatloh
lation hopes to achieve.

Figuring $4,000 men strike, according
to the Department of Labor who would nave
received the basic pay of $3.50 a day (although
the miner usually makes considerably more).
and that they have been idle since April L
four months and half-at full-time work
they would have earned s4.575.o0o day. or a
total of more than $615,625.000. But suppose,
to get down to the minimum that they would
have been idle half the time. The records
for years show that normally the miners work
1S0 to 200 days in a year-or only about half
the time. Had they worked only half the
time during the strike period they would have
earned a minimum Of 30S000.000. So that's
what the miners have lost. as the balance
sheet stands today.
X X X X
Who won-was 1t the operators?
The normal production is approximately
100000 to 100000 tons Of coal week.
The non-union fields have been producing
during the strike period less than one-half of
this amount, leaving 100000 to 100000 tons
a week lost production. Taking the price of
$3.50 a ton. which prevailed at the mines be-
fore the strike, a basis Of computation of
what the price probably would have been if
no strike had intervened. instead Of the $3.50
ton suggested a fair price by Secretary
Hoover. this means $15, 600 week. or, for
the approximately twenty weeks Of the strike,
a grand total Of $300000,O00. These figures
give some idea Of what the mine owners lost.
X X y X
Now, that is what the ledger shows as of
today what the miners out of pocket
and what the mine owners out of pocket.
But. mark you, both Of these interests have a
chance largely to recoup. The soft-coal miner
usually works 1S0 to 200 days In year. He
loafs about $50 days in the year. With the
settlement made and the country suffering for
lack Of coal it is certain he will be kept busy
all the rest Of the year. So that the approx
imately 135 days the miners have been out
on strike have been merely a vacation out
of the annual 1S0 loafing days, and at the end
of the year he probably will have worked as
many days as he would had there Been no
strike And he will probably be better OFF in
the end, because the miner had to suffer some
deprivations during the strike which he would
not otherwise have forced upon himself.
The bituminous mine operator recoup
because there will be strong market demand
for his product. and special efforts will be
made by the Interstate Commerce Commission
the mines will be working steadily. instead of
intermittently. thus reducing operating costs.
The anthracite mine owner and miner have
less chance to recoup, because anthracite
mining Is not overdeveloped and over
normally many days of idleness

Who won-was it the consumer?
Before the strike soft coal was selling at
about $3.50, mouth Of mine. Since the strike
it has been bringing at least $3.50 (the Hoover
price,. There's dollar ton. with about
100000 tons a week mined, which in twenty
weeks counts up to $so,00o.o0o

NO ONE WINS IN COAL STRIKE;
BUT PUBLIC MUST PAY LOSSES

But IL ia generally believed by those who
know the coal business that the strike settle
ment makes 1t practically impossible to drive
the price Of coal back to the $3.50 that ruled
at the mouth OF the mine before the strike.
The best that is hoped for is to get the price
held to the fair price suggested by Secretary
Hoover-$3.50. The fear Is even entertained
that unless some measures are taken to pre-
vent profiteering it may be run up to IS and
$6 at the mine, which would be moro than
doubling the price before the strike
But, even II the price is held to $3.50 1t
means an increased cost to the public. as
result of the strike, Of 81 on every ton OF the
100000 to 100000 tons week which will
be produced when the mines are in full oper-
alton. 49,.
estimated at $soeoo.ooo. those who know tho
coal business and who stick to conservative
figures estimate that it will continue to cost
the people of the country at least $12.ooo.ooo
to $15000.000 a week for the remainder OF the
coal year. With the coal year having thirty
weeks yet to run, this will make total of
close to $500, 100000.
You and and every individual household
er-just every individual industry-know
something Of the worry the strike has caused
the people of the country who were caught
with their bins empty. In certain sections OF
the country this worry will continue. and con-
siderable nafQShlp ana suner1ng are lneVltdDte,
because 1t will be impossible to supply SUM-
cent transportation to meet the demands.
The mines have been Idle during the greater
part of the lake-shipping period. There is no
possibility Of giving sufficient rail transpor-
taton adequately to meet the need, so a great
part of the northwest cannot be supplied in
sufficient quantity, and there will be a shortage
and suffering. no matter what is done.
X X X
So get back to the question: Who lost
and who won the mine strike?
If the miners work many days and earn
as much money as IL there had been strike
they are not heavy losers But they asked for
wage increases and didn't get them and made
other demands which were not granted
they haven't much to show in the way of
winnings.
The operators will have to fight to recover
of the markets they have lost to nom
union operators. but, from now on, they will
operate full time and probably get higher
price for their coal, they are not great
sufferers result of the strike. even il they
cannot be counted winners.
So it would seem that the public, as usual,
is the 4oat A half billion dollars Is the esti-
mate of the bill it will have to pay. even II
profteering is prevented. II proiteering is
permitted, it will have to pay "all the traffic
will bear"
But profiteers and would-be profteers had
better be on their guard The public has about
reached the end of its patience, and IL coal
goes to an unreasonable price next winter
things going to happen to the coal in
dustry that viii make the passing strike seem,
In comparison, like pleasant memory.

Size Of Senate an Argument
Against Creating New States

The people of the northern penin-
sula of Michigan have more than once
demanded the rights of separate
statehood for North Michigan"
When the republic of Texas en-
tered the Union 1t reserved the right
to divide itself into five states. and
there was at one time an effort to
make two states out of Idaho just
as two were made out of the old
territory of Dakota.
No doubt there are many good
reasons why some of our larger
states should be divided. but there
is one controlling reason why no
such division should be made. 1t Is
that If we create more states we
shall have more senators. The
United States Senate is almost un-
manageably large as 1t is.
And II is to be feared that the
wheels Of legislation would be alb
solutely clogged If the number of
senators was increased.
