Tub old saying to “Marry in haste
and repent at leisure/’ would be ex
emplified in the union at this time
between Bessemer and Pueblo.
Track is being laid on the Florence
and Cripple Creek road at the rate of
about a mile a day. It is said that 400
men are called for to complete the
grading as the work must be done as
quickly as possible.
Ex-President Harrison does not
have ts be crushed with a stone wall
before he takes a tumble. He already
sees the way the cat is going to jump
and takes advantage of every op
portunity to say something good about
silver.
Tub National Forge and Iron works
at East Chicago have reduced the
wages of its unskilled laborers to SI.OO
a day, and the Lakeside mill did the
same thing, more than 600 men being
affected. Will the C. F. 1. Co. follow
suit?
Tub trades assembly of Pueblo is
likely to put a labor ticket in the field
at the approaching municipal election.
There will be some beautiful exhibi
tions of hippodrome riding by several
of the strong old party men who are
identified with the new party.
The railroads are slashing rates to
California points and the said points
are wild with joy. It goes without
saying that those who make the trip are
also glad. The Santa Fe, U. P., the D.
A R. G. and Southern Pacific are in the
contest and tickets are now on sale at
$85.50 round trip to San Francisco, and
the chances are that the rates will be
much reduced before long The Golden
Gitte will surely make a success of the
Midwinter Fair.
Silver gained a victory on the
1 inst when the Bland bill for the
coinage of the seigniorage and silver
bullion in the United States treasury
passed the house of represenlives by a
vote of 167 to 180, a majority of 37.
Bland was carried about on the shoul
ders of his constituents amid the
greatest excitement, and predictions
were made that the restoration of the
white metal to its constitutional value
was a thing to be looked for in the
near future.
And yet another sensation has been
sprung in Colorado to give the eastern
press something to talk about. A re
markable document in the shape of a
petition has been issued by some freaks
in Georgetown urging the people of the
silver states to secede from the Union
and annex with Mexico. The petition
which is headed by the mayor of
Georgetown sets forth the information
that it is for the best interests of the
silver producing states to withdraw, and
says that similar petitions will be cir
culated throughout other states. It is
to be hoped Governor Waite will not
express himself until the people get
their breath. Well, well.
Wouldn't You, Though.

BESSEMER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 3,1894.
CALLS FOR ACTION.
A FEW REASONS WHY THE
STEEL WORKS DON’T PAY.
Facts and figures for the consideration
of C. F. A I. Co. officials—Nec
essity demands a change in the
general superintendency—Hints that
might make money for the com
pany—Something should be done.
The Indicator will not swerve from
its duty in exposing public wrongs, and
in so doing the plain path of truth will
not be deviated from one iota. Facts
tell, and facts and figures only will be
used. Animated by a desire to assist the
worthy people againßt oppression and
wrong, it epposes Superintendent Robin
son in his soulless system of cutting
down the wages of the steel workers
which threatens to reduce many of
them to a state little better than that of
pauperism.
Unless Mr. Robinson is acting under
instructions from the head management
and with the full knowledge of the
directors of the company, they should
call a halt on him and attempt to re
pair the damage he has done to the
hard working employes of the mill and
to the good name of the C. F. A I. Co.
itself. Let them investigate the af
fairs of the mill for themselves; let
them understand that money which is
taken from the men who do the actual
work is going into the pockets of men
who hold jobs as foremen, clerks or
time keepers whose services could and
should be dispensed with; let them in
vestigate into the fact that these
sinecure offices are sucking the profits
of the works; that the plant is not now
on a paying basis and that a continuous
and smooth run can not be expected
while men are laboring at enforced
■taryation wages. They must know
that men laboring under such condi
tions never did and never will produce
the best results.
Furthermore, let those at the head of
the concern ask themselves \l it is right
to hire men with the agreement that
they are to receive $3.00 per day. for
instance, work them a month with this
understanding and then pay them off
at $1.75. Are such things right? Is it
not an injustice to the employes and to
the company? Will not such treachery,
such Iniquity revert at last on the com
pany and be its ruination? Before long
the institution would be blacklisted by
the world at large and men could no
more be induced to enter it than they
would a dungeon.
The good naas of the C. F. A I. Co.
requires a change, a radical, sweeping
change, and a prompt one. Let J. A.
Kebler who is manager of the institu
tion come down from Denver and in
stead of consulting with Mr. Robinson,
mix with the populace of the town, and
if he doesn't glean information that will
set him to thinking it will be because
he will not listen. He will find some
of the best men who can make the
works a success under ordinary con
ditions kept out through malice or for
other reasons known only to the general
superintendent, and he will find men
who can tell him the truth about some
of the inside workings of the mill.
It would not be amiss for Mr. Kebler
and the board of directors to ask them
selves why there are so many straw
boses in the works, men holding down
good paying jobs, even now while the
works are practically idle, where under
former managements such bases were
not necessary when the works were
running at full blast. Let them ask
themselves why there are seven bosses
and only about forty-two working men
all told in the bar and guide mills. Why
should there be seven bosses now for a
mere handfull of men where Superin
tendent Grove had only two bosses in
the day time when things were lively,
and the watchman looked after the
business at night. These bossess get
from $2.00 to $3,00 a day for doing
little or nothing, while the men who do
the actual work get $1.45 for twelve
hours work. Let those at the head of
the concern ask themselves also why a
straw boss who pretends to look after
everything in general and nothing in
particular about the floating gang gets
perhaps SIOO a month while several
bosses Under him look after the small
squad of men who do the actual work
at the princely sum of SI.BO for twelve
hours work. When the gentlemen at
the head of the concern see how much
msney is being paid out for bosses be
fore the works are running they will
likely make a hasty computation as to
what the luxury will cost when work is
going on full blast.
Will President Osgood. Manager
Kebler and th* board of directors look
into this thing before it Is too lets snd
ass wherein the steal .works are not on
a paying basis? Let them study the
situation snd see if it Is not economy,
if it is not businsM, if it is not human
ity to make s radical change.
Tbs city council has decided thst
after April 1 they will do sway with
thirteen lira plugs or hydrants, making
a saving of $62 per month. Mayor
Dampsoy took the initiative in the
movement. Now who will take th*
lead in knocking out several super
fluous lights? It oan and should be

REPEAL THE ORDINANCE.
The "Official” Coal Weighing Farce
Should be Abolished.
There is one inquitous ordinance on
the records of the city that should be
stricken off. The injustice of the
ordinance has been discussed heretofore
in these columns and the agitation will
be kept up until the law is repealed.
Reference is made to the ordinance re
lating to the compulsory weighing of
coal. The aldermen who take this
question up for discussiou will make
friends of the people who have been
donating ten cents to a city weigher
every time they bought a ton, or any
part of a ten of coal.
Aa an illustration: Say there are
two compartments in a coal wagon.
Jones orders a ton and Brown orders a
half ton. The wagon is driven on the
scales. Gress weight, for instance,
4,680 lbs; tare, 1,680; net, 3,000 lbs.
Two certificates are made out, one to
Joues that he is receiving 3,000 lbs.
and the other to brown that he is re
ceiving 1,000 lbs., both weights being
“official" and duly certified by city
weigher. Now, since both lots are
weighed on the same wagon at the same
time, how does the city weigher know
that one man is getting a ton and the
other a half-ton? How docs he know
but that one compartment of the
wagon contains 1,900 lbs. and the
other 1,100 lbs? He doesn’t know it,
and yet he pretends to give an “official”
certificate of weight. The thing is
absurd and farcical, and yet a family is
obliged to pay ten cents royalty every
time a ton or part of a ton of coal is
ordered. If the profits went into the
city treasury it would sot be so bad,
but of course the city does not receive
one cent of benefit while the people are
out their dimes. There is no reason
why a person should be obliged to con
tinue to pay $4.85 for a $4.75 ton of
coal. Repeal the ordinance.
AROUND THE LOOP.
Smokera for the Bessemer Line.
The Pueblo City Ry. Co. is using all
diligence toward a hasty completion of
the loop at this end of the line and it
will not be long before cars are running
on Northern avenue. Manager Chub
buck and Superintendent Martin havs
decided on a new departure on the Bes
semer line, and as soon as the loop is
ready they will put a trailer on each car
to be used as a smoker and not to be
invaded by the gentle sex. For a time
the trailers will be run only from noon
until the increased travel warrants their
continual use. Conductors will then
run clear through instead of turning
back at the Summit switch as is their
custom now. It is a good idea all
around and the enterprise of the com
pany is commendable. The convenience
to be gained by Bessemer passengers
will fully compensate for the franchise
privilege granted the company by the
town.
Messrs Chubbuck and Martin say
that they have not yet decided when
they will be prepared to add Pullman
sleepers to the scenic line, but perhaps
as soon as the track is finished to the
lake.
