Conditions of Practically Every
Other Industry Reflect Back
on. Coal Mining Industry.
CO-OPERATION OF FARMERS
AND LABORERS IS URGED
Delegates to Convention Warm
ly Receive Message Telling
of Benefits to be Derived.
DENVER. June 15. (J. U O'Pnl
livan. t'. P. Staff Correspondent.)
According to the delegates attending
the annual labor convention, the
bituminous coal miners are the great
est sufferers of the unemployment
which swept the country. A large
proportion of the soft coal miners
have been working only a few days
since the industrial depression hit the
coal business and many have been un
able to, find work. William Green,
tecretary of the I'nited Mine Workers
declared the condition of practically
every other industry reflects back on
the coal mining industry. The de
mand for bituminous coal was grad
ually shut down, while anthracite, for
domestic use, has held up well. The
miners had difficulty in supplying
themselves and their families with
food.
Wauf Farmer's Help
Active cooperation of farmer and
laborer toward attaining the ommon
objectives were brought closer at the j
meeting of labor. The delegates warm
ly received Benjamin C. .March's, see
retarv of the farmers national council
message telling of tfie Iwnefits to be ;
derived from such cooperation. The
convention passed resolutions provid
ing for working out the details of a
program to unite the effort of the
worklngman and the. farmer.
Marsh's niessaee declared the farm
ers and workers must unite to "achieve
ideals of economic, industrial, agricul- j
tural and political freedom. The farm- ,
ers would be glad to join the labor to
stop the control of the national re
sources, shipping, banks, and credit
systems by a cliuoe of investment
bankers and selfish un-American citi
zens of great wealth.
Farmers and laborers, working to
gether, should obtain honest tax sys
tems, and procure legislation for the
control of the meal packers."
The message warned the workers
representatives against the false
spokesmen for farmers 'vho denounce
the getting together of farmers and
workers." The convention adjourned
following the reading of the Marsh
message. 1 .

LEAD NOTABLE-PARADE WHICH IS
WITNESSED BY ADMIRING THRONG
Men who fought on the bloody fields of Gettysburg; men
who were with General VVheaton at the Battle of Malabon, and
;nen who felt the deadly peril of the Argonne fight made up the
three generations of America's defenders who marched today
in the great G. A. R. parade.
The fitful sunlight gleamed on scores of G. A. R. men
marching with a firmness which belied their years and on mem
bers of the Veterans' Drum Corps, some of whom played at Lin
coln's funeral, and all of them brave in uniforms of blue. The
clear notes of the fife and the roll of the drum mingled with the
music of the Pendleton band and furnished cadence for the
scores of veterans who marched or rode. Over a thousand flags
in the hands of the crowds who lined the streets waved in sa
1 ite and again and again ripples of applause from the sidelines
caused the old fellows to bow in acknowledgement. .
