Craig TERRITORY
RICH In TONNAGE
new RAILROAD THROUGH RAWLINS TO
CRAIG Gould HAUL MILLIONS
OF TONS FROM SOUTH

Should the North and South
Railroad come through Rawlins and
continue south to Craig, Colorado.
there will be available to the new
road millions upon millions of coal
and other tonnage, according to in
formation received by The Republi-
can from Moffat county.
Probably the greatest amount Of
tonnage available for the Haskell
road would come from the tremend-
GUS deposits of the highest grade
bituminous coal. 1t is stated, on
good authority, that this coal can
be produced very cheaply owing to
the fact that the character Of the
formations and the quality Of the
mineral make it possible to do away
with the timbering necessary in the
great majority of the coal mines
of the country.
1t is reported that the Moffat
railroad has shipped as much as a
million ton a veal of this high
grade coal and that. should the new
road decide to enter northwestern
Colrado. it could be assured of
three times this amount of yearly
tonnage.
The North and South railroad
would also penetrate great fields
of iron deposits. limestone, copper,
galena, zinc. carnottte. (from which
! radium is %derived), natural asphalt
and a large amount Of building
timber.
Moffat county has two and posi-.
bly, three of the best power sites in
the west. One OF these Is at Juniper
one at Cross Mountain and the
third in the canyon in the west end
OF the county. The existence o.
these power sites means hat II
Moffat county a tremendous
amount of electrical energy may b,
developed and used by m~anufactur
ing plants.
Perhaps one OF the greatest thing
Moffat county has to offer tn,

{ possibilities along agriculture

ABANDON MOVENlENT FOR
 MASS MEETING TO BE HELD IN SCHOOL AUDITORIUM
New Haven Trades Council in Regular Session Learns ShOpmen Consider Such a Movement
 Would Not Work Out to Their Benefit.

No attempt will be made by the New Haven Trades Council to secure the use of a school hall for the pur- pose of holding meeting for the benefit of the striking shopmen. This was definitely decided at the meeting of the Trades Council, held in Trades Council hall, last evening, when John Fly Smith, the lone surviving mem Der of the committee of three which was elected at meeting some five weeks ago to make application to the Board of Education for the use of the hall, in making his report read a communication from John C. Ready, chairman of the executive committee of the striking shopmen, in which the latter called attention to the feeling among the shopmen that nothing practical would be gained by attempt ing to stage such meeting"
 The letter was as follows:

LUMBER OWNERS COMBINE3
 INSIST ON REDUCED WAGE

Seattle, April 6.-The apparently simple economic truth that low wages results in bad times was brought out at bearing on the lumber trust, con ducted by the federal trade commfs- sion.
 Gerald Brink, an iron manufactur- CT, made the statement thathas been repeated times without number by or ganized workers.
 It was shown that lumber owners combined and attempted to ruin any dealer who would not join with them. After they raised prices they reduced wages and resisted the establishment of the eight-hour day.
 The trusts defense is that if 1um- Der owners go back to competitive conditions they will be forced to es- tablish the 1o-hour day and cut wages. They find it convenient for the mo- ment to accept organized labor's posi- ton and some business men are willing to indorse this view, when the question of wages is not directly in volved

At the hearing Friday Attorney Slade placed first on. the witness Whitaker, who stated that he had charge of the city court proceedings against Schleifer and when asked who made the original charge against Schleifer answered "the- state attor- ney." Another witness called by the attorney for the defense was Everett Kallgren, city editor of the New Ha- ven Journal Courier, who testified that Colonel filling had visited his office in company with Major Phelps Montgomery on the evening of the day upon which the states attorney is said to have made remarks depreca- tory to Schleifer. On this occasion it was brought out that MT. filling offered certain photostatic copies of letters purporting to-have been writ ten by Schleifer which Mr. Kallgren testified he already had :.
 In cross examining Attorney Whitaker MT Slade asked:
 "Did you issue a warrant as a re- suit of this information?"
 "No."
 Did you finally issue warrant?"
 MT. Whitaker stated that he had conferred twice with the states at torney, and that the latter gave him photostatic copies of certain letters and of a newspaper article from a paper in Meadville, Pa, which, how ever, he already had

Great Victory For Organized
 Labor Against Armed Guards
WAR WILL NOT CEASE BY ONE RESOLUTION

Ottawa, Canada, April 6-"Can il be that any are SO short-sighted as to believe that wars can be prevented by the spasmodic passing of resolu- tions?" asks the Canadian Congress J Journal, official magazine of the Can adian Trades and Labor Congress.
 The journal cites trade unionist in the Canadian northwest who op- posed further anti-war agitation for the reason that "in 1914 the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada had taken a stand on war, but when war came in 1914 this policy toppled over like house of cards"
 "Perhaps others" says the Cana dian Congress Journal, Likewise be- come faint-hearted in the endeavor to save civilization from the ravages of future wars because a resolution once passed did not bring about the pre- vention of the holocaust of 1914"
 The executive council of the Trades and Labor Congress has been carry ing on an antiwar agitation because of the situation in the Near East The Canadian Congress Journal says this campaign IS not meeting with the success that 1t should, and that Hack of support is particularly noticeable from those sections of the country which were most specific in demand ing action against war when the last Near East crisis was upon us. The Trades and Labor Congress of Canada was strongly urged at that time to make a pronouncement against Can ada's participation in such a war"

Federation Head Warns Against Open Shop Policy.
 By Large Political Party
COAL MEN GOUCED;
 PEOPLE HELPLESS

New York, April 6-rThe coal situa. tion the past winter called for ''the big stick" but that weapon was not forthcoming, according to General George w. Goetha1s, who has finished his work as New York state fuel ad- ministrator. The army man was caustic in his criticism of federal off cia1s, and especially of congress, because of its inaction in last winters coal crisis.
 The situation is national one," said General Goethals. "Whenever you have a situation of this sort there is only one power that can handle it. The federal government should have the power to in spect at the mines handle prices and direct distribution In fact, the law says that is what it shall do. But if you give man job you have got to give him authority.
 "The federal government organized a fuel administration which had no au- thority. It gave the power to the inter state commerce commission, quasi judicial body which never acts. Long ago I defined a commission or board as something that was long, narrow and wooden. If you want anything done you have got to put a man in charge equal to his responsibility.

 "The battle must be fought. A common sense meeting of those in charge of the road would place al lyou men where you could render the best service to the road. It is of no ad- vantage to desire the ruin of either road and men. The interests of so- c1ety demand that the differences shall be faced squarely and honestly. There are some rights which every man has which must be recognized.
 Be, firm, be charitable, be honest, be enthusiastic. Every man should take his fellow non-union man and buckle up to him until by persuasion he convinces him that you are his friend and fighting his battle. Money is power, but humanity against money will win in the struggle and justice to humanity will reign supreme"

LABOR READY FOR CONTEST IF
 BIG BUSINESS SO DESIRES
Liberty and Freedom Are the Vital Factors and the Workers Will Vigorously Oppose All Efforts to Deprive Them of Their
 Moral and Legal Rights

Stretched on a sick bed, he was un- able to Init back" MT. Gompers re- marked, but he has now re-entered the arena to serve notice on the re- publican bosses that they are playing with dynamite in the open shop issue.
 Calls Strikes Helpful.
 "This is the first suggestion of mak-- ing antagonism to organized labor a political issue," MT. Gompers declared. Those who have been accredited with being the sponsors for that sug- gestoin and for that movement are the bankers, big business and railroad executives.
 They have condemned the strikes of labor during last summer. Even though mourning the displeasure of some who think or pretend they know, I unhesitatingly say, confident that I am right, that no incidents since the close of the'war have been so fortunate for American life, Amer ican business and American prosper ity as the strikes of the working peo- pie last summer.

Washington, Dec 6.-On his re- turn to his office here this week, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, issued challenge to the advisors of Presi- dent Harding who are trying to have a plank for the open shop included in the 1924 republican platform. '
 Somewhat worn in appearance, but no less vigorous, MT. Gompers assail- ed those "bankers, big business men and railroad executives" and specif- caHy Gen. Charles c. Dawes of Chi cago, as the "new Fascisti," and served notice upon the c. O. P. that labor is aroused and prepared to fight to a finish against dragging the open shop into politics.
 The victory of Judge William E. Dever of Chicago in overwhelming the Dawes candidate, was due largely to Gen. Dawes recent attempt to have MT. Harding come out for the open shop, Mr. Gompers asserted. Immediately thereafter organized la bor held a mass-meeting in Chicago and pledged support to the demo- cratic candidate.

BOYS ARE SHANGHAIED.

Toledo. O., April 6.-Po1ice officials of this city and of Cleveland are on the trail of gang that has shanghaied high school and college boys from the cen tral states. Police officials found one boy whose home is in Cleveland, work ing under guard in the engine room of a ship in this harbor: It is stated that the boys are enticed on certain ships by officers who then swir1dle them out of their wages
 This swindling is easy because of the anti-union policy in the Lake Carriers Association, which is controlled by the steel trust through the many boats owned by the Pittsburgh Steamship Company. During the war a govern ment board ordered the association to desist from forcing. seamen to carry passbooks in which contained their photo, measurements and whert for 1nerly employed. Since then this "hell fare" plan has been re-established.
 With no one to protect boys on these lake vessels, conditions are ideal for grating officials to have the boys shanghaied and then rob them of their wages.

 public road. Two witnesses swore
 they had seen the guards place a gun in position on tor of the mine dump and conceal 1t behind a c1ump of bushes, They testified that two or three shots were fired from this gun before they heard any shots fired from outside the mine
 Lucian Tucker testified that C. K. Mcdowell, superintendent of the mine, told him: Were going to work 1t If we have to work 1t in blood" Tucker said McDowell then showed him two rapid fire rifles which worked from the hip, a "reeP' gun operated on a tripod and about a ton of am munition:
