New Era: Preseenting the Plans for the New Era Union to Help Develop and Utilize the Best Resources of This Country. Also to Employ the Best Skill ... for All Who Will Help to Attain it. B

In its issue of Good Friday, September 3, 1897, the Rocky Mountain News printed on its front page the picture of an American miner, gaunt and tattered, on his knees, with his dinner bucket empty beside him and with hands outstretched, appealing for help. Underneath the picture, in full-faced type, was printed: He asks for aid will you give it? Under this appeared the following article: A project which promises to be a remedy for the troubles of the striking miners of the East and unemployed labor generally has been broached by Charles W. Caryl, president of The Gold Extraction Mining and Supply Company. It will be called The New Era Union, ;md the man who proposes it has such faith in its ultimate success as an alleviator of the burdens of the laboring classes that lie is going ahead on his own responsibility to incorporate a company with a capital stock of $10,000, 000. In launching his idea Mr. Caryl does not hope to alleviatethe cares of the laboring man in one fell swoop, hut recognizes the fact that it will take time to operate. The New Era Union, as described by Mr. Caryl, is simply a scheme whereby the laboring men, in no matter what occupation they may be engaged, may he enabled to cooperate and share the profits of their labor among themselves.
