 Is Being Kept Quiet.
 No one, except his physician and his secretary, MT. Giles, was per mitted 10 See Mir. Gompers on his train. He lay in his berth, appar- ently resting quietly, dozing occa- sionally into brief sleep.
 Mr. Giles wired 10 San Antonio 10 have ten rooms ready in a hotel there for Mir. Gompers and party. The first plans were to take the patient 10 the hospital, but these arrangements may be changed en route and it is possible he will go to hospital immediately on ar rival in San Antonio.
 The high altitude of Mexico City affected the aged man to some eX- tent, his physician said, and it was believed that he would improve as he neared the lower atmosphere Of Texas.
 His kidneys had been irritatad by a change of drinking water and it was thought a return 10 the water he was accustomed to drinking might bring some improvement in this regard.
 Despite his advanced age the pa tient's ability to battle for his life was said to be remarkable.
 During the long journey up from Mexico City, he remained cheerful, slept as much as possible, but took little nourishment. Efforts Of his physicians and followers were directed toward keeping him quiet and saving his strength, which was far spent on the trip.
 Wants to Die in |, S.
 Mir. GOmpers was said to have ex- pressed repeatedly the wish that if he was to die he hoped the end would come on American soil. The train, however, took its usual course, arriving in Nuevo Laredo an hour late, and no effort was made to speed the journey,
 There Was no occurrence on the trlp which should have given rise to the erroneous reports of NTr. Gonpers' death, his secretary said. While he was admittedly low and his physician asserted his condition was serious, no hint that the end was near was permitted to escape from his coach.
 MT. Gompors' condition improved slightly as he reached the Amer ican side and his chcerfulness was more percep'jhlo. He was permit led to talk with some members of his party, but vas unable 10 take any nourishment except milk. He was compelled 10 forego a break fast prepared for him hy a Chinese cook he brought from Mexico City.
 Labor leaders of the American Fedoration os Labor in New York were requested hy his secretary 10 come 10 San Antonio to he with their leader, and apparently his were preparing 10 keep MT. Gompors in San Antonio until his condition definitely improves.

NO POVERTY OR SUFFERING HERE

Although the factories have ex- perienced several months of com parative slackness and this condition has been reflected in the number of applications for assistance from the board of charities, Superintendent John l.. Doyle reports not n single case of actual poverty and suffering being found in the city, and with prospects for better conditions ahead
 Realizing that petitions for city aid invariably follow fin direct propor- made an eXaustive study of factory business, Superintendent Doyle has made an exhaustive study of fatcory conditions and the business outlook for the near future. so his depart ment may be ready for any unusual condition. He reports a general feel ing of optimism for better business early in 1925. which report Is en- couragng to the department. In practically every instance of appeal to the charity board, loss of employ ment or reduced wages in factories has made necessary the request for aid, and with prospects of better business ahead, Supt. Doyle antici- pates DO extraordinary flood of pleas for aid.
 The greatest number of charity cases come 10 light in the late fall and winter months. As in past years , the department has contracted for l q considerable quantity of coal. de- liverable in quarter ton lots to fami- lies who are found 10 be in need. So far there have been very few re- i quests for this kind of assistance. |

THREE AMENDMENTS TO
STATE CONSTITUTION

Three amendments to the state
constitution will be voted on at the
coming election. The texts of these
are published in The Independent and
every voter should read them over
carefully, ponder upon their contents
and think what the adoption Of each
amendment would mean to the people
Of the state of Colorado; then cast
his vote accordingly.
The initiative and referendum act
is many times used by unscrupulOus
persons to further their own interests
and 1t behooyes every wide awake
voter to keep watch Of these measures
and determine which is the best way
to vote on them. Read over these
proposed amendments today; think
about them; discuss them. When
you 90 to the polls know which way
you are going to vote on each one
and why, instead Of blindly crossing
the ones which seem from the subject
on the ballot to be good They are
published SO that people can be in
formed.
