GOLD FEVER EPIDEMIC IN
COLORADO

Denver, Colo Nov. 6 "A gold
fever epidemic is rampant in
Colorado.
Two prospectors who hit pay
dirt in southwestern Colorado
and don't know whether they
have 500, 1000 or millions started
it all. Lesser finds have been
reported from many of the sill
YER states" ghost mining camps.
TIE ne1s of the first strike,
near Msncos, Colorado, leaked
out because Charlie Starr got
sore" when be was refused Is
cents credit at q Marcos store.
From his grimy overall! pocket
be pulled out a handful Of al
most pure gold nuggets.
See that?" be angrily shouted
in the face of the storekeeper.
The tradesman's eyes stuck
out like couple of grapes. A
gold nugget is big news in that
5O-year old gold mining camp
where the fabulously rich May
Day vein was discovered and
then lost years ago.
Where did you get those?"
the astonished storekeeper STAN
mered.
Starr told him it was none of
his business and then went to
another store to make his pur
chase on credit.
Like the proverbial wild FIRE,
the news was all over the coun
tyside within q few hours. Starr
declined for days to talk but
finally it was learned that be
and a partner, G.. W. Gilmore,
had struck rich pay dirt" on
their own property. Later the
two man revealed they had sent
sacks of the ore worth from 81
to $50 pound to a Marcos bank.
The two prospectors followed
the age old methods OF seeking
mother lodes."
They panned the Marcos river
until they found some small mug
gets. Then they combed the
dill sides to discover the spot
from which the nuggets we're
washed. More than 100 small
glory holes" were left as a re
suit of their first unsuccessful
hunt. They almost were ready
to crawl over the territory on
bands and knees with magnfyiug
glasses when the elder Starr
picked up a red stone Indian ar
rowhead near the river.
It's pointing this way" he
said, indicating to Gilmore.
Let's have look "
The ''look" extended into a
three weeks search before o
piece of float" was found. A
float is a small piece of gold bear
ing ore, Clipped off from the
main vein and washed away.
After another careful search.
Intensified over a much smaller
locality. they found small vein
of free gold. One chunk Clipped
from the vein contained nearly a
quarter pound of gold.
It's the mother Lode" Starr
shouted.
With sweating brows, the men
went to point below the find
and began tunneling into the
mountain side, hoping to strike
the vein as it slopad down ward
from the surface. They did.
Within less than a week $3, 600
10 almost pure gold nuggets had
been placed in tobacco sacks and
taken to a bank vault. Since
then they have taken about
100000 from the mine in rich
gold ore.

FAIL TO FORCE
TARIFF BOOST
House Votes, PIP to ia,
Not to Consider CroWther
Bill.

BIZ JHitCd Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Repub-
lican efforts to force action on
drastic tariff increase legislation
failed today when the house voted
not to consider the CroWther bill to
boost import duties on products
from nations with deprecated cur
rency.
This action was equivalent to de-
feat of the bill, with the vote COM
ing on motion of discharge of the
ways and means committee from
further consideration Of the tariff
increase legislation.
This group, heavily Democratic,
had refused to take action on the
CroWther measure and similar bills,
all designed to increase import
duties to meet the threat" of for
eign competition from countries
with cheapened money.
Republicans forced a record roll
call with their discharge petition,
but were beaten back by a virtually
solid Democratic vote
Speaker Garner announced the
vote as 212 to TIA.

part time, are asked to shoulder the
burden of unemployment created by
these selfsame exploiting millionaires
According to an announcement
made by j. G. Blaine, chairman of
the Welfare Committee special con-
Centration for funds will be made on
employees of department stores, COM
munication lines and 80 utilities COM
panies. THE success of the cam
paign," he added, now hinges largely
on the contributions from employees"
Just as last year when workers
were compelled on threat of losing
their jobs to contribute to charity
drives, pressure will again be exerted
on workers badgered between rising
prices and wage cuts, both instituted
by the MIRA.
The pamphlet, signed by the multi
millionaires, speaking of the forced
labor program, says that "the govern
ment could do that much and no
more"
These multimillionaires would
certainly be interested in making the
government do nothing else. This
explains their intense opposition to
the Workers Federal Unemployment
and Social Insurance Pill which would
thrust complete responsibility for care
of starving unemployed workers on
their shoulders and off the shoulders
OF the workers.

Crisis SlasheS Bank
Deposits by Two
Billion Dollars
Never More Than Al
Per Cent Had Any
Bank Accounts

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Refecting
the narrowing income Of the lower
sections Of the population, there was
a sharp drop of over two billions in
the amount of savings bank de-
posts at the end Of June 30, it was
announced today. This is a drop of
II per cent from the same period
last year.
The analysis Of the decline pub
lished by the American Bankers
Journal admits that the drop in
savings was due to increased ex-
penditures by the workers forced by
the rising cost of living.
Since 1928 the number Of savings
bank depositors has been declining,
so that today only 81 per cent of
the population has any savings ac-
count, as compared with Al per cent
four years ago. The average ac-
count is now $62 per person as COM
pared with 1892 then. At no time
did more than Al per cent have any
deposits at all.
The effect of the crisis has thus
been to slash the meagre savings of
the masses by over 80 per cent per
capita.
The decline in deposits is even
greater than the official figures in
dictate, since the figures for the lat
est deposits include the interest &C
crued to the deposits, thus mini
MIXING the actual Withdrawals of
deposits during the last IL months.

ances of the workers in the shop
are merely mentioned here and there
and in the N. r. A. article there is
whole paragraph of them jumbled
together. If the paper could just
single out one small grievance, on
which the workers feel strongly, and
give the workers leadership on how
to obtain a concession from the boss
on it, the workers would know that
the organization issuing the paper
knows what it is talking about. II
the paper could initiate one success

department, the news Of the success
would sweep through the plant like

The only organizational solution

solutely no explanation given on the

worker.
Workers Correspondence
The paper does very well In stimuli
lating the workers to write. Every
where possible the workers are urged
to write of their conditions, and the
address is clearly given. There is
one very good letter on the company
unions inactivity, to which the
Editors note is, if meant seriously,
a little too hair-splitting, or. if meant
flippantly, not quite suitable for this
letter. The worker is worried. He
wants to know what to CO. The
editor should explain carefully what
the worker must do to build up Or
ganization in the shop. The other
letter, on sudden firings of workers,
has a little better note-the nearest
we get to concrete organizational
directiyes in the whole paper, but
nothing is said on how the depart
ment group, which the paper ed
vocates, is to be built up, or what
its function is. BY the way, letters
from workers should serve as the basis
for the entire paper, and should not
be segregated on one page, as Let

MIRA. Continues
Use of Store Scrip

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. L.
Scrip which was to be banned from
use after March LIST in accordance
with the provision of the retail code,
is to be continued to July LIST, 1884,
by MIRA decision. Employers are able
to compel workers to trade in COM
pany stores and fleece them of their
wages through higher prices by
means Of scrip.
A campaign has started among en-
ployers to abolish the provision in the
retail code banning scrip and Presi-
dent Roosevelt is expected to appoint
q committee soon to review the ques-
ton. The MIRA. will probably re-
verse its stand to provide another
wage cutting weapon to this en-
ployers.
