COLORADO TROUBLE UP
President Shows He Has Had
No Right to Interfere,
INVESTIGATION IS NOW ON
Report of Department of Commerce
and Labor Will Throw More Light
on Matter Executive is Will
ing to Promote Peace.
OYSTER BAY, July 19. President
Roosevelt today received a committee ap
pointed last Sunday by the convention of J
the coal miners and allied crafts of S
Wllkesbarre, Pa. The mission of the
committee was to present personally to
the President a petition reciting- the con
ditions in which organised labor has been
placed by the action of the authorities of
Colorado and requesting him to institute
an investigation of the labor trouble In
that state with a view to remedying the
conditions now existing if possible. The
members of the committee, M. T, Burke.
of Carbondale, Pa.; Henry Hersovltz, of
Plymouth, Pa., and Frank B. McCafferty,
of Victor, Colo., are the men who came
to Oyster Bay last week, but were un
able on that day to obtain a personal in
terview with the President.
The committee arrived here this after
noon, and met the President at his Saga
more Hill home at 7:30 this evening. They
passed a half hour with Mr. Roosevelt
lft his library. The petition, which was
the expression of 225,000 men of the union
labor organization of Northeastern Penn
sylvania, was laid before the President.
He read It carefully, and then informed
the committee he would be glad to do any
thing he properly and legally could to
ameliorate the condition existing in the
State of Colorado. He indicated that an
Investigation of the labor troubles in that
state is now being made by agents of the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
Thus far the situation had not been such
as would warrant Interference by the
Federal Government.
Following the presentation of the peti
tion, the President talked with his callers
on subjects of mutual interest. The talk
developed the fact that Mr. Hersovltz
had fought with President Roosevelt in
Cuba. After exchanging some remin
iscences of the war with him, the Presi
dent gave Mr. Hersovltz an autograph
card bearing the following inscription:
"To comrade Henry Hersovltz, with the
good wishes of Theodore Roosevelt, July
18, 1001."
After a conference with President
Roosevelt, which lasted far into the night
and was resumed early toJay, ex-Secretary
of War Rlihu Root left Sagamore
Hill today for New York, having import
ant business which made necessary his re
turn today.
Beyond the fact that the President and
Mr. Root considered the speech which tho
formei is to deliver on the 27th Inst, in
response to the notification of his nomi
nation, little could be learned about the
conference The talk covered a wide
range of 'subjects.
RED CROSS ASKED TO STEP IN
Miners Desire It Take Charge of the
Distribution of Supplies.
DENVER, July 19. The wajs and
means committee of the Western Fed
eration of Miners has appealed to the
Red Cross Society to take charge of the
distribution of funds and the general re
lief work for families of deported miners
la the Cripple Creek district A com
munication addressed to Mrs. John A.
Logan, president of the society, deals In
part as follows:
"After havinjr denorted from thplr
homes tne husbands and fathers,
they now refuse to allow relief In the
way of food and clothing to be Issued
to the wives and children, unless it be
through the hands of the military au
thorities. "We do not feel justified in trusting, the
matter of relief to the military, feeling
satisfied that owing to the hatred they
have shown to our people they would not
faithfully carry out this great trust
"Now, therefore, knowing it to be the
mission of the Red Cross Society, of
which you are the official head, to tako
cnarge of and as' much as possible elimi
nate suffering caused by the cruelties of
war, we earnestly appeal to you to ar
range to have your noble organization
'take charge of the distribution of food
and -clothing to the families of deported
citizens of Teller County. We will fur
nish all necessary Supplies, and only ask
that your organization take charge of
the distribution of the same."

Another in Series of Summer Hour
TODAY! A blRECT APPEAL TO ALL THOSE DESIRING TO SAVE MONEY. A LOCAL INCIDENT WITH A LOCAL APPLICATION
Coming down Yamhill street one morning, a few days since, the writer noticed an old man, hent with age and feebleness, trimming the grass of a large lawn with a pair of brdinary ly-inzh. shears. The open-air exercise
obtained in consummating this laborious task might have benefited the old gentleman's health, but ere snch a job could be finished, the grass would have either died of old age or grown to proportions that might have
made it difficult for the good old man to grope his way through it back to the porch of his hospitable home. The application is plain. Some business houses with a big lawn to mow or a large stock of goods to move
quickly start about it with scissors. That's why certain pinstores not a thousand miles away have got such a mighty conglomeration of useless and antediluvian merchandise, hoary with age, souvenirs of by-gone
decades. They've been toddling along after our gigantic auto-electric grass cutter with a pair of penny shears. We're making hay rain or shine and a few clouds never feaze us. "We've got orders to get ready for
the long-threatened tearing away of walls between the old and new building in two weeks. A Herculean task? Y.es. The way to do it is TO BO IT. Don't yon think these prices will help some? You know the
quality of merchandise they're affixed to. Hundreds of matchless value go unmentioned.
