1t was learned today that the

boards decision affecting teleg-
raphers, the next class of en-
ployes to be dealt with in a wage
ruling, will not be handed down
for some time. and undoubtedly
will not be issued in time to be-
come effective July !, the date
the maintenance of way and shop
craft decisions take effect.
The reason for this, it was ex-
planned, is that the chief ques-
ton in the telegraphers' case is
not how much money shall be
paid, but how inequalities Of pays
on different roads shall be settled.
This matter is expected to take
several weeks more OF discussion
by board members.
The effect of this delay on a
possible strike would be consider

WOULD NOT MEET IN ARMORY
OWING TO THE FEE CHARGED

Considerable talk has been going
the rounds the past few days regard
ing the recent Democratic meeting
which was held at the Community
Rooms Tuesday evening
II is said the party desired not to
meet in the new armory owing to
high rent which the captain OF the
local company charged for II. Others
have advanced the idea that II was
not held in the Delta armory owing
to the stand taken between the two
candidates for governor. Griffith. Re.
publican candidate being in favor Of
armories. while Mr.. Sweet, the Demo-
cratic candidate. would abolish the
rangers and armories. making potato
warehouses. etc. out OF them
At the request Of Captain Black
burn who has charge OF the Delta
armory we publish his statement to
set the people right in regard to the
matter:
Some people are under the impress
sion that the armory will not rent for
less chan s35 per night. To wipe ou;
this impression from their minds. the
armory rents for &35 per night for
dances. or on a 6o-4o basis net. For
public gatherings, political meetings

wEiLAND ENTERTAiNs LIONS
WITH "RoAp MOVIE" SLIDES

There was light attendance at the
Lions club Monday evening. but
great enthusiasm prevailed. The
water users dinner at which Con.
gressman Taylor was guest, was
held at the same hour in an adjoin-
ing room and this accounted for the
absence of several of the Lions.
7 A. A. Weiland of the weiland En-
gineering company of Pueblo. was a
visitor of the Lions and had some
very interesting and instructive slides
on road construction and street paw.
ing. He dwelt quite at length upon
the various forms of road construc-
tion. giving details as to the formu.
lac used. and also some recent views
taken OF the street paving project
which his company is now engaged in
building at Colorado Springs. He went
into the matter at some length on
every form of road construction and
street paving. some OF which have
been patented but not universally
adopted by engineers.
At the close of his lecture he show.
ed several views of Delta streets
which we hope he will not exhibit at
other places in Colorado while Civ
ing his lectures.
Mr.. Weiland complimented the city
ON the general conditions. stating that
we do not have an expensive place
here to drain and keep up good
streets and sewage system. He men
toned many towns which had been
laid out under rather difficult cir,
cumstances to properly secure the
right grade and drainage.
Next Monday evening will be Farm
ers' night. Every Lion is to bring a
farmer. DR.. r. G. Shaffer will have
charge OF the entertainment for the

HERE IN INTEREST OF
GRIFFITH AND M. D. VINCENT

John r. Youngblood, colonel of the
412 Infantry Reserve Corps, Southern
Colorado, Denver and R. NJ. Van Deu-
sen, stock-grower and rancher at
Grand Lake, were in Delta yesterday
afternoon in the interest of the cleo
tion of the Republican ticket. Mr..
VanDeusen said he was more concern
ed over Ben Griffith for governor and
Merle Vincent for congress than any
others.
Mr.. Van Deusen until four years ago
was prominently identified with the
Democratic party in Colorado, having
acted energetically from 1908 until
1912 as secretary for the Democratic
state central committee and prior
thereto was a member of the advisory
board He said the element of men
now composing the party were not in
accord with his views at all. He says
the average person does not fully
realize the good government Colorado
has enjoyed under Shoup. He was
of the opinion the people of Colorado
have candidate for governor, in
Griffith of whom they will be Justly
proud.
Mr.. VanDeusen said he could not
agree with Mr.. Sweet, neither was he
in accord with a single sentence in
the platform which that candidate was
running upon. He favors the ranger
system as the most sensible and mex,
pensive way to handle the situation
in Colorado, which heretofore has cost
the taxpayers so much money, loss of
life and disgrace.
Colonel Youngblood served several
years in the Philippine Islands, going
there in 1908. He has had years of
service including the late war He
spoke regarding the constabulary in
the islands which was first established
in 1905. under the governor of the is
lands. Mr. Taft.
"The constabulary" said the Colonel,
was not established for the islands
until a thorough investigation had
been made by the governor. He took
into consideration the mounted police
of Canada; the constabulary of Aus
tralia, Barneo, the ranger system in
Texas and Pennsylvania The practical
workings of the other countries and
the states was studied. The outcome
was the constabulary for the island"

keeping Colorado well governed at the
lowest possible expense.

FOR SHORT TIME SATURDAY.

United States Senator Lawrence c.

the western part of the state in the in

The senator stated emphatically that
his visit was purely political. but he,
did give way to a meeting at which
several local water users were pres
ent The senator stated that there
was a horrible condition to straighten
out when the Republican administra-
tion took over the reins of govern
ment on March 4. 1921: that the av-
erage person little realized the tangle
into which almost every department
of our government had become in
volved. He said that President Hard
ing is a hard worker and is doing
his level best for the country as
whole. and that while he has been
criticised somewhat in some localities,
that at the same time he, Mr.. Phipps,
felt that time would completely vim
dicate our president. At a meeting
at Montrose Mr.. Phipps explained why
he voted against the soldier bonus bill.
and he conversed on the matter here
in Delta. The one prominent thing,
Mr.. Phipps said. is that the govern
ment return as quickly as possible to
normal conditions. and he said that
there is no way to pay a bonus unless
a tax OF some sort be levied upon the
consumer or producer. He said the
vocational schools and other avenues
had been stepped up" to take care of
the boy who was injured overseas or
otherwise incapacitated while in their
own camps.
Senator Phipps left for Grand juno
