The Trade Unions Oppose COlOradO's
Anti-Strike Law

Denver, Colo.-Trade union oppo-
sition to Colorado's anti-strike law is
increasing. Under this act workers
can not suspend work until they give
30 days notice to the State Industrial
Commission.
The State Federation of Labor has
repeatedly denounced the law. The
Stage Employees union, it is stated,
is considering having its delegates to
the coming international convention
attack the legality of the law.

ORANGE felt the effect of the Brit
L ish strike when the franc began to
tumble, reaching on Thursday the new
low mark Of 3214 to the dollar. FL
nance Minister Peret who called q
conference or bankers, said he tn0ugnt
the francs fall was due to the sale
of francs by the British government
to bolster up the pound sterling. The
French produce markets also were
glutted because of the crippling Of
shipping lines to England. In Paris
the debt settlement with the United
States was considered to be contrib
utory to the crash Of the franc, for
the opposition groups In the parlia-
ment were preparing for an attack on
the BRAND cabinet on the score of the
arrangement signed In Washington by
Ambassador Berenger.
Ia the United States senate, also,
the settlement will be assailed by the
group headed by Borah, Reed of Mis-
souri, and Pat Harrison Of Mississippi.
Harrison has asked public hearing
at which the terms agreed upon can
be attacked and defended. This group
probably cannot prevent ratification
by the senate, but 1t could delay this
consummation injuriously.
~ MONDAY, for the tenth time
" In the history Of the United
States, the senate sat as court Of
impeachment when Federal Judge
English of the eastern district Of IL
linois was summoned for trial on the
charges preferred by the house Of rep
resentatives. Vice President Dawes
presided and nearly every senator was
in his seat. The defendant, through
counsel, made a general and particu-
lar denial of all the charges against
him. On Wednesday, when the case
was resumed, Senator Willis Of Ohio
moved to postpone the trial until No
vember 10, mainly for the reason that
the senators, especially the "a who
come up for reelection on November
2, will be more composed in their
minds and In better humor In the cool
of November than If they took up
their duties as judges during the
broiling heat that soon will envelop
Washington" Despite bitter opposi-
tion the motion carried, 1t being un-
derstood that Mr.. English shall not
sit as a Judge in the interim.

Dawes Confident
Farmers of the West
Will Solve Problems

Denver, Colo, Aug. 1.-(P)-Vice
President Charles q. Dawes predict
ed that the agricultural west will
eventually find a satisfactory and an
american" solution of it's economic
problems through energy harnessed
by intelligence" in an address here
tonight before $4,000 Coloradoans
gathered in the municipal auditorium
to celebrate Colorado's fiftieth year
of statehood Mr.. Dawes described
the spirit of the west as "determin-
alton of urpose-energy harnessed
by intelligence-ambit dominated
by high purpoSe-a universal willing
ness to work, and underneath all
these attributes, an attitude of rever-
ence toward the traditions of the
race, the family, the church and the
great American constitution institu-
tons"
The vice president ventured the
opinion that lin the fundamental at
titude of the people of the west to-
ward all American institutions is
found one of their greatest safe
guards and that upon all fundament-
al questions of property and individ-
ual rights, the west will be in the
vanguard of defense when they are
attacked.
Turning back to the dark days of
the eos. when the west went
through the gruelling experience of a
temporary collapse of its fondest
hopes" Mr.. Dawes declared that its
people then. as now, in adversely as
we'll as prosperity. stood solidly be-
hind law and order, American insti-
buttons and the American constitu-
ton.
1.-THE west talked some in those
days" he said. but it worked more.
1.-The west is young, and, being
young, it Is often impatient. Like the
young, it rails quickly at deep seated
abuses The best friends of the gov
eminent most strongly insist that its
power be not abused. 1t is this
tendency that is so often misinter-
preted in the east as being radical
ism. So far. from being radiacalism
in it's true sense-it is the vests
conservatism. The west, when 1t
advocates changes in law, advocates
them because it wants to make gov
eminent better and freer, and more
stable"

over BILLION AND
QUARTER ASKED BY
indian TRIBES OF j. s.

Washington, Aug. l. up - Con-
tending that their forbears were not
fully paid for the lind wrested from
them by the white man, members of
80 Indian tribes are plaintiffs in suits
against the government aggregating
more than $1,250,0O0,OOO.
Dating back almost to the begin
ming of the American government,
the claims, as summarized by the de-
partment of justice, are mostly for
payments on land and involve agree
ments said to have been made by
the white conquerors of the Indians
in the early struggles for supremacy.
The largest claim is that of the
Sioux tribes for nearly 100000 600,
principal and interest.
One Of the claims which the de-
partment of justice must defend is
for s195,000,000 principal and inter-
est, brought by the Creek Indians.
The tribes contend that by an unau-
thorized treaty negotiated by Genral
eAndrew Jackson following the
Creek war in 1913 the government
took from the Indians more than
23,000000 acres lying in western
Georgia and Eastern Alabama with
out any consideration.
