cornea out of the operator Then the samci agitator advises the operator to add It to the price of coal making the consumer con-sumer the ono to be robbed In the end AX EXPENSIVE LUXURY It IK all vry nice for the ngltaior If the consumer will stand it hut Its an expon flvij luxury I know that the operator cant stand It If he Is to make any profit at all I can how you very readily by OUl books Hint

In the efforts to unionise tho worklngmen which are familiar fa-miliar to nearly everyone an shocking In the cxtromc The strikes of the past year have cost Colorado over a million dollars and time end Is not yet The demoralization demoraliza-tion to all linos of buslncos Is something that It will take years to overcome To unions of intelligent men with business Louise Much as the Brotherhood of Engineers Engi-neers no one can have objection but when you put that power In tho hands of Ignorant foreigners who cannot npeak then the-n dltlll language It must result In ca lamity sooner or later FAVORS EIGHTHOUR LAW I am heartily in favor of the eight hour law which Is slvcn the worklngmen of this Stat > by law and to other statutory statu-tory provisions which tend to disarm the agitator The fact Is I that the laborers of this Stale have without he asking tho very thlngii for which the unions are fighting for In other Stales and u I strike under tho conditions which here exist Is an
