upon the eastern slope of the Rocky
Mountain region early last night. a
severe windstorm, increasing in We
locity from a rate Of % miles an
hour to between 60 and 10 miles an
hour, left destruction and havoc in
its wake in parts of Denver and nearly
a score of northern Colorado towns
and in farming sections, according
to general reports reaching Denver
early today. Fires. famed by the gale,
wrought terror in parts of Denver
during the night and virtually every
fire department in the city was en-.
gagged in battling more than a score
Of blazes. Several residences, stores.
two downtown buildings and a hotel
relNrted fires. none of which proved
to be serious.
Heavy Damage.
The damage, however. WAS expect.
ed to run into thousands of dollars,
although no Official estimate was
available early today. The storm,
which came from the western Rocky
mountains, swept down upon southern
Wyoming and northern Colorado late
yesterday, unroofing houses and de-
molishing numerous frame residences.
No loss of life was reported Farm

Moving south, the storm struck
Denver after 8 o'clock last night
and continued its errand of destruc-
ton. Telegraph and telephone commu.
nication to points north of here was
virtually demoralized. scores of tele.
phone poles having been blown down
in isolated districts.
A 13,000-Volt tramway wire was
blown down. between here and Golden.
Colo, crossing 800 telephone wires
and burning them. Hundreds of mo.
torists We're held up by police, who
guarded all roads across which the
live wires were strewn. creating n
serious menace to safety of drivers.

COAL MINES SHUT

SCARCITY OF COAL

The city lodging room at the city
building mas entertained as guests for
the past several nights members Of
the miners union who blow through
the city looking for work.
And what do you suppose their an
swer is for being jobless, when asked
that question by the police?
"Strike ~
"No. The mines have been closed
down because the owners say there
is no demand for coal"
So, at a time when the mine owners
usually say she price Of coal must
advance because Of a scarcity Of coal
caused by strike Of the miners, they
close the mines so as to make certain
there will be a scarcity.
Not much said in the newspapers
about il. though. The wires are moi
intended to convey the information
that mines are closing to force q

JAPANESE ARE MENACE
TO THE WEST, SUPREME
COURT is INFORMED

Washington.-The japanese are a
menace to the west, attorneys for
California and Washington told the
supreme court of the United States
IN arguing the alien land cases be-
fore that body. These states prohibit
Japanese owning land, and Japs want
the law set aside.
The white people refuse to assimi-
late with the Japanese, and as the
japanese line advances we retreat,
and We do not like to retreat" said
the attorneys.
When the Japanese occupy land in
cur states they exclude from it peo-
pie who might become citizens. We
believe our government, state and ma
aenal. will be best protected and
served when our lands are occupied
ey those who have sympathy with our
institutions and can be compelled to
contribute to its preservation"

FEDERATION TO
DISCUSS NATTER
OF STATE MEET

Delegates, do not fail to attend the
next meetin gof the Twin City Fed
Grafton of Labor, to be held Wednes-
day evening, May 9, for at that time
the all-important matter Of bringing
the 1924 convention of the Illinois
Federation of Labor to the Twin
Cities will be discussed
Since the subject was introduced at
the last Federation meeting. there
has been considerable correspondence
and investigation relative TO the hold
ing of the convention here, and it has
developed that the state Federation
officers would welcome an invitation
from the local body. They are of the
opinion that the holding of the con
vention in the University cities would
have considerable advantages, 10 the
University as well as to local labor.
1t would give the 200 delegates a
comprehensive idea as to the magni-
tude of the state institution of learn
ing, and this in turn would have its
effect in bringing new students from
the ranks of organized labor. Then
again, the effect upon the community
of having so large convention in
its midst would go a long ways to-
ward cementing the friendly relations
existing between employer and EN-
ploye.
/; is expected that at the May 3
meeting of the Federation reports will
be made that will justify that body
going ahead with the arrangements,
and that steering committee will be
appointed.
So it behooves every union % see
to it that ifs 6eierales ere present.
President Wilmington asks local
presidents to instruct their dele rates
to fulfill their duty in this respect,
so that they may keep their locals
fully informed as to the progress of
the Federation.
Local business men have expressed
deep interest in the prospects for
holding the convention here, not alone
from any pecuniary benefit they viii
derive, but because they feel it will
be one of the greatest advertisements
for the Twin Cities and the Univer-
sity that could be had.
University authorities have ex-
perssed like sentiments, and all will
go all the way with the Federation in
securing the meet.
