General Cook Describes tlio Trip for Itellcl or ilnmrtittlco .Miners. lkThls snow and wind Is a ray of spring sunshine compared to the weather I faced In the heart of the Koclcy mountains when I headed. ' the relief expedition for the Home- stake miners , " said General George W. Cook of Chicago at the Mill'trd yesterday. The general was mayor of Leadvillc , Colo. , in 1880 and wears a $1,500 gold medal as n reward for his bravery upon that occasion. Continuing ho said : "It was in March , 1SSO. that the people of Leadvillo re ceived news that ten prospectors were buried under a snowslido in their cabins WO foot from Ilomestiiko peak , which was M.OUu feet above sea level and a locality of per petual snow and blinding blizzards. A man named Wallace dreamed it and became so impressed with his dream that ho started out for the spot on snow shoos. lie re turned In a few days nearly dead and hoarsely whispered that his dream was realized and that the snow was so deep that the cabins could not bo found. Ho know the topography of the country nnd was a man of veracity. So a relief expedition was promptly fitted-out , it was generally known that te : : young1 men were prospecting up near the peak and they hud many friends in Leadvillo. Nearly every mine In the bit ; camp shut down , nnd over 8,000 men volunteered to go to the rescue. Cad Davis of tlio Ilerald-Ucmocrat was chairman at a meeting called to take steps for organization. I was elected captain of the oxDodltlon , and with 150 plelcod men prepared - pared fur the Journey. Wo left the train at Malta , and buckled on snow shoss for a hard walk over eighteen miles of snow-crusted mountain grades nnd canons. It was I)0 ! below xero without exaggeration. The snow drifted In massive banks and the wind cut our faces like wlitp lashes. Wo rnadu the ascent , ami finally , after a hard trip , fraught with privation , suffering and a heroic display of manly courage on the part of the men , I reached the spot whcro the cabin's ' wcro supposed to be. Out of 150 men who started , with mo only eighty-two reached the summit. The balance wore compelled to abandon the trip. The snow drift which Had burled the cabins was forty-three feet deep , nnd notwithstanding the fact that many of us bait nur.facca , noses , hands nnd feet frozen moro or loss , wo commenced 10 sink n shaft In the snow to rcscuo the Im prisoned minors. Finally after twenty-six hours'scarcn wo found the cabin in which the poor unfortunates were burled. AH ten of the men were Uead. They wcro wrapped In their blankets nnd laid in their bunks. The bodies presented a slckcnlngslght. They wore badly crushed. Their akin looked ex actly act though parboiled ana whcrcvcrli wns touched it pealed off. Many of the rescuing party , whoso Btomaehs wcro weak from scarcity of provisions , vomited violently at the sight. Finally the bodies wore carried In their rude shrouds nnd lifted to the lop of the snow banks , whcro crude sleds were speedily iiKulo and the homeward march be gun. In the descent of the mountain with the sleds it was necessary to proceed in a 7.lg-zag manner with ropes i00 ! feet In length. Our men wcro suffering intensify with tlio cold , but after wo reached timber line the progress was moro satisfactory and at last , forty hours after the ascent , the on tire party reached Malta , where wo found n second relief expedition starting out to BOO what hadbccomoof us. I will never forget that weird trip by moon light down the mountain , with thn ton dead miners wrapped in tlio blankets and tied to the sleds , It was grucsomu picture , Tlio members of tlio relief expedition all on snowshoes shoos acting ns a funeral escort , while the men , half frozen by their long exposure , tot tered alung like hereto * until the train was reached. When wo all got to T < oadvlllo over 10.000 people worn congregated nt the depot to greet us. A few days later the dead were burled. Such Imprcsslvcohscciuics wcro probably never held In l.cmlvilio before or after. The ten miners wcro placed on n hux'ti transfer ungen , which hud bocn trans formed Into a hut/a c.itafalcino for tlio occasion. Sixteen homes , eight of them black nnd eight of them gray , drew the funeral ear. Four thousand minors fol lowed the corpses to their llnai resting place in Kvei'h'recn ccmotory , nnd the citizens of LoQdvlllo raised n popular subscription of { -1,000 ami erected n monument in memory of the unfortunate men who were burled allvo in a tomb of snow , " Have YUII AnUim.V.

BUILDERS AND TRADERS IN SYMPATHY Dclrcn'c * id.cotcil to tha Nntlonnl Conven tion Unntnil I.nbiir Union Will the Dcpcit rrouonltloii nnd Ulcot Olllccra. The organization of Builders and Traders of Omaha , wnlch came Into existence four years ago , Includes In its membership the principal contracting builders in the city , nnd has for Its objects and purposes the uni fication of those engaged In the art and trade of building. They have commodious rooms on the second floor of the Now York Life In surance building , and hold sessions at U o'clock each day for the purpose of acting upon any business that may bo brought before fore the organization. The president of the organization , Mr. Hlchard Smith. Is very outspoken In favor of contractors employing union labor upon nil work. In speaking of labor organizations President Smith said to u BEB reporter yesterday : "From time immemorial , or at least since mankind became clvlll/.cd , the principle has been recognized that in union there is strength. The earliest history wo have of organized labor was nt the building ofKing dolomon's temple , where the workmen wcro Sivldcd Into three classes , namely : Masters or overseers , fellow-crafts , iml apprentices. The work of these men was tne ndmiiMtlon of their own ngu and time as well ns all suc ceeding generations , oven to the present day."In "In that day and ngo the mechanic , the builder and the architect who understood his profession and calling was the foremost among his followmcn , and so It will be again In our day and age , when wo require of every man who engages in the mechanical pursuits of life to thoroughly understand his business before ho can obtain employ ment as such. "I find In all my dealings as a contractor that It pays all employers of labor to use union labor wherever it can bo obtained , ns In my dealings 1 have always found the unions willing to deal fairly with all men , if the employer shows a disposition to bo fair with them. To IiifiUt on StnnilarilVngcfi. . "In these times of depression I advocate and would advise the men In all trades to stand up for the standard wages , even If It sliould become necessary fnr these that nro working to turn one-half of their earnings into the treasury of the union for the sup port of 'their unemployed brethren. For this reason , that if they should stand a cut of $ 'J a day now It would tauo at least three years of good times to get the wages back to where they nro at the present time , and might cause numberless strikes and dlsaffections among craftsmen and em ployers. "In the city of Chicago in 1872-3 , whcro I was living at the time and working on the scaffold , and was getting $5 per day , when the panic of 1873-4 struck this countrv , by the union men not standing solidly together , our waves were cut and re-cut until they reached $1.50 per day. And when times commenced to improve again , it took a great many years to get wages back to 50 cents per hour. "Wo can all thank fortune that the unions of this country have stood solidly together during the present depression , and not allowed their wages to bo cut. 'It is considered by all parties interested that it is bolter for all concerned , including the owner of a building , the contractor and mechanics , to have an established scale of wnces , as the owner will know wbat his building will cost him nnd the contractor will know how to figure the work. "I would further say .that the brick con tractors nnd bricklayers were the first to introduce arbitration in our city.sinco which time arbitration has become the principal mode of settling all difficulties or differ ences between employer and employe in this section of the country , and at no time In the history of our city has there existed such pleasant relations between employer nnd employes ns has existed since the introduc tion of this mode of settlement. " At a meeting of this association held a few days ago Messrs. Hit-hard Smith and A. T. Vierllng we're botu elected ns delegates to the national convention of builders which will convener-Boston February 13 next. Will Discuss thu Depot i'rniosltlon. ) It Is expected that the meeting of the Omaha Central Labor union this evening will bring out a full attendance of the mem bers , as considerable business of Importance will coma up for action. The question re tarding the proposition of the Metropolitan Union depot company was loit over from the special meeting hold last week , to be acted upon at the next regular meeting. Aside from this important question the meeting this evening. The candidates election of officers will take place at the for president arc very numerous and a good lively slrusirlo will most likely take place In Lho selection of this officer. If President Haitley had not loft the city it Is quite n-obable that ho wouli have been ro-olcctod without much opposition , but ns ho has resigned to take d position in Washington it loaves the field open to all. Ex-President Schupp is spoken of as Hartley's successor , as Is also Herbert Boyle of the elevator conductors. Frank Hoacock's friends think ho has a good chance for the position , but Frank says ho would rather bo one of thu rank nnd'lllo. It s said a dark horse will bo brougiit out from imong the building trades and that nil the jullding trades delegates will supnort the lew man. If this should bo the case it would bo the dark horse against the field. At any rate a lively tussle Is likely to take place in .ho selection of the next president of the Omaha Central tabor unlou. Ttio now con- stltutlon which was adopted two weoits ago gives the president more power than hereto- 'ore and makes the office moro sought after , nstcad of thu committees being elected at the nicotine ns provided by the old con stitution the president now has the ap pointment of all committees. For re cording secretary Mr. It , 11. Jcnncss seems to bo In the load so far with several other candidates In the field. The ofllco of vice ircsldent Is not much sought for , and no can- dldatos have as yet boon mentioned. There s a very strong sentiment in favor of August Bcorman for chairman of the committee on organization , and It is quite probable that 10 will bo appointed to this position no mat ter whoii chosen as the head of the union.
