BOYCOTT APPEL & co.

Boycotting has been adopted all over
the country as means for forcing greedy
and unfair employers to do justice to
their employees. Every mail brings to
this Office evidences of the might of this
peaceable weapon, and victory after
victory is being recorded by our eastern
brothers. In cities where organized la
bor has not an established official organ,
papers DEVOTED specially to the case or
cases of boycotting they have on hand,
are issued, and some of these little pa
pers are doing good swork-they are con-
densed force, for sure. ~.

Cheap Travelling.

The fact of the reduction made in
rates east from this city during the
present week is very we'll known to every
body by this time. The old rate was
reinstated Thursday morning. The
lowest figures reached during the cut, at
which tickets could be generally pur-
chased were, to Kansas City, S., to st.
Louis, SIS. to Chicago, 81, though it is
said some tickets were sold at even
lower prices.
1t is estimated that about 5000 persons
took advantage of this cut and left the
city, some on visits to friends in the east,
others to look for a more prosperous
communitv. A great many working
people were among those leaving the
city, and to them the reduction was a God
send. The labor market of this city has
long been overstocked, but owing to the
expense of getting anywhere from here,
things were becoming very discourag-
ing. There are still few thousand too
many wage-workers in Denver in pro-
portion to the amount of work to be
done, but in this respect it is not an
exception to the other cities of the
country. In every locality there are
thousands out Of work, and the prospects
are not bright.

COMING INTO THE FOLD.

During the past two or three weeks
there has been a powerful awakening in
this section of the. country. Organiza-
tions of mechanics and laborers, in all
classes of employment, are springing up
all around us. The Knights of Labor
are growing at rate hitherto unequaled
in Colorado; the old assemblies are
growing rapidly, and new assemblies are
being formed. Right here in Denver
several hundred have become attached
to this organization alone since the first
day Of May.
Letters asking for an organizer have
come into this Office lately from dozen
or fifteen points in Colorado, New Mexico
and Wyoming. Southern Colorado and
New Mexico are particularly animated
on this question, and just as soon as the
friends of this paper put things in shape
so that I can leave the Office for week
or so, will be on the wing. working my
level best to assist in getting every pro-
[ducer in the Rocky Mountain region into

The Labor enquirer., 1884-05-17

In an article upon the subject of the
cut-rates on therailroads this week, the
Republican takes the opportunity to slur
that unfortunate class of people called
tramps, and which is the product of the
Hellish systems upheld by the Republi-
can and its masters. 1t says: There
was one satisfaction growing out of this
rate war, in which the good people gen.
orally of Denver could participate. 1t
was the fact that a very large number of
of worthless fellows of the genus tramp,
bought tickets that enabled them to leave
Denver, greatly for the city's good" 1t
has not been the custom of the capitals
tic class to admit that the enmity it held
for working people went 80 far as to
characterize as ''tramps" any who had
sufficient funds to purchase ticket to
St. Louis or Chicago, even at the very
low rates of the recent cut 'Tramps"
and avags" are usually set down by the
capitalistic press to mean about the same
thing, and man with few dollars in
his pocket cannot be called "yag." I
will wager a trifie that the appendage
who wrote the article in the Republican
had not enough funds to buy a ticket to
Kansas City. And it is really too bad
that he had not the money and the in
spiration to leave this community.

The war between the News and Times
becomes more bitter with each encoun-
ter. The News says the Times employees
have contracted to become a party to a
deception practiced upon the organized
workingmen, and that the wages at pres
ent paid by the Times to its workmen
are no higher than before the office re-
entered the union. This is probably
not trne, but the charge should certainly
be investigated by the proper officers of
the union. The union cannot afford to
be swindled by the Times managers no
more than by any other employer. Let
the case be thoroughly investigated.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-05-17

A BILL has passed the United States
senate placing General Grant upon the
retired list of the army, with the pay OF
general of the army, $13,500 per annum.
What the house will do with this bill
cannot of course be said, but it ought to
consign it to the waste basket. General
Grant has been burden upon the peo-
pie long enough. He has wasted two or
three fortunes, and if the old loafer is I'm
able to work, some of his able-bodied
sons should be made to support him.
Congress has no right to give away $13,-
500 annually to keep any man who is
able to provide for himself; and there
can be no question that Grant, with all
his wildcat speculations, is still beyond
the pale of want. Ifit is suggested that a
few dollars be expended by government
to aid the destitute thousands of humble
working people, howl goes up, but moth
ing is said when an aristocratic, richly
robed, wine-soaked perpetual beggar
asks for a sum that would rescue half q
thousand honest, industrious families
from starvation. This thing has gone
about far enough. Workingmen, when
do you intend to put stop to it?

ganization by workingmen. Tho head
of the firm remarked to the editor Of
this paper . few days ago that he would
put in cheap Chinese labor but what he.
would down" the tailors' union.
Reader, fellow-workmen, it is clear
case, and hope You are ready to do
your whole duty.
Do not read this article and then 90
of and forget it. The ENou1RER can do
nothing in this work unless backed up
by the individual efforts Of the working
men of the city. If they win stand by
it, the firm Of Appel 4 Co. will be glad
to recognize the tailors' union or be COM
PEELED to shut up their shop-very soon.
Do not allow yourself to be caught by
the bait placed in the show-windows Of
this firm. If you want suit made to
order, you can get better goods and bet
ter work, for the same hgures, at the
square" shops. If you want ready
made goods, you can get just as good
and at as low, if not lower prices, at the
houses which advertise in The ENoUIRER.
Remember these things when you go
to buy, or when you know friend is go
ing to make purchase, and strike blow
for the rights of your fellow-workmen by
going elsewhere than to Appers. You
can succeed in this affair beyond your
brightest calculations, if you will but
give it an earnest trial. 2s-. -
To the several hundred men who have
subscribed for this paper during the past
two weeks, and who are but newly in
itiated into the fold of organized labor, l
make special appeal. You know what
unity means; you know what you are
capable of when you set your heads ;
you know what you can compel from an
enemy of labor who is not willing to
concede justice through an understand
ing and spirit of fairness. To your stern
determination, land positive manhood, l
commend an outfit which. publicly de-
clares itself opposed to your rights and
those of your brothers.

BUTLER ADVANCING.

Since General Butler has been 80
prominently mentioned as a probable
candidate for the presidency, consider
able desire to know how he stands upon
some of the important public questions
has been made manifest. He has so far
spoken very plainly upon all questions
submitted to him. Below are some of
the late statements made by him, and
for man asking to be elected president
of these United States the, language is
very positive:
F1rst-As to transportation: I am
heartily in favor of Mr.. Reagan's inter
state commercial bill,- and a. firm be-
lever in the right of congress to prevent
any discrimination by transportation
companies, in rates of freight and fare
between the states.
Second AS to gambling in grain 1 hold
him who CANDLES in the necessaries of
life, thus raising the price of food, to be d
public enemy, as he is by the law q
criminal.
Third-As to the taxing of mortgaged
property: Clearly the tax upon that
portion covered by the mortgage should
be against the MORTGAGE. If mortgaged
it no longer belongs to the mortgagor
and should not be taxed to him.
We believe that General Butler is the
first of living politicians to explicitly
state his position upon the last two of
the above important topics-topics which
Intimately concern every citizen. The
above expression of views should alone
entitle him to the name of Statesman"
and "the friend of the people,

IT appears that the people of Las We
gas have been pouring the hot shot into
the Optic of that city, on account of the
scurrillous article concerning the work
ingmen, which it printed a short time
ago, and which The ENQUIRER modestly
referred to last week. The editor of the
Optic, is getting excited and judging from
an extract taken from that sheet by the
Las Vegas Gazette, he wants to kill and
devour somebody. If the workingmen
of Las Vegas have the backbone I think
they have, Mr.. Optic will not have much
trouble in putting himself in the way of
being beaten to death and thrown to the
dogs. Give him rope.

THE PREMIUMS.

1t was announced in these columns
last week, that for the purpose of build
ing up the subscription list to where it
should be, and to dispose of the remain
ing tickets in the 'fRelief Fund" rattle,
one of those tickets would be given to
every subscriber paying one year in ad-
vance for the paper. 1t was also an
nounced that each subscriber paying six
months in advance would be presented
with copy of Edward Kelloggs work,
entitled Labor and Capital, or New
Monetary System" Those inducements
were extended in good faith and they
will be continued in the same spirit.
This paper should have circulation
of 5000 weekly, at least, and at present
it has but a little over one-fourth of that
number. l have done all in the power
of one man to place the truth before the
eyes of the producing classes of this To-
cality. I have asked others to help me
as much as they can, and Inow earnestly
repeat that request. If the friends of
this paper and the cause in which it is
laboring will do their duty the number
of subscribers will be increased during
the next three months to 5000, at least.
But soft talk and tafy presented to me
will not accomplish it. If you really
have the cause of the producer at heart,
and want to protect the interests of your
pesterity, you will increasingly endeavor
to spread the light.
$ These premiums give you an excellent
opportunity to secure subscribers. VIII

In another part of this issue will be
found call signed by the secretary OF
the lapsed plasterers union, of Denver,
for meeting to be held on next We'd

room. The purpose of this meeting is to
take steps looking to reorganization OF
the trade in this city. / hope every
plasterer who reads these lines will make
it point to be present at this meeting!
Mechanics and laborers in nearly every
branch of industry in'this city are or

deavor to keep up with the grand column.

Leimer took pointer from Carpenter,
and would have succeeded in his nm
manly and dishonest efforts if it had not
been for the determination Of few
members of the council to see Justice
done. Public sentiment is clearly on
the side of the bouncers, which is an
evidence that the idea, that force fwhen
necessary is justified to carry out the
will Of the people, is gaining ground.
The ring and local sub-rings which have
had control of the public Offices for up
wards of twenty years will hold on with
supreme tenacity in every instance. This
thought suggests the idea that if the
people elect their president this year
there will be a strong effort to keep him
from being seated. Itmight be well to
consider the combative qualities of can
didates in this connection.

employees to at once form q protective

true, and that the plan will be carried
out without delay.
THE ENQUIRER is at the command of
every man or group of men who want
to organize; and its editor will personally
render all the aid In his power.
Let the good work go on. The pro-
ducers of this country are beginning to
understand that all their interests are
the same, and that to successfully combat
the attempts of INSCRIPTIONS capitalists
and monDpolists they must combine for
mutual protection. @An injury to one is
the concern of all" and it naturally
follows that benefit to one aids all.
Therefore it is plain, that as our interests
are inseparable we must be united to
uphold them.
Go forth, then, you who realize these
truths. Sew the seed gather the scat
tered producers together; induce them
to clasp hands, and by the love we bear
our children let us wear to stand an i'm
penetrable wall against the onslaughts

ENQUIRER PRIZES!


Heretofore the publisher Of this paper has
not offered premiums for subscriptions, be-
neving that it was a duty the working class
owed to itself to support its paper, without
bats or rewards; and, besides, he has not
been financially able to give anything more
than good, newsy paper for the subscrip-
ton price. But there are exceptions to all
general rules, and different circumstances
justify different lines of action. =;
A majority OF the readers of THE EN-
oUIRER know that few months since there
was started in aid Of this paper what is
known as the "Relief Fund" They are also
aware that Stephen Vinot donated to that
fund pair of lots, valued at $3.50, and five
due bills, of $40 each, which would be re-
ceived in part payment upon any purchases
made of lots from him. There were issued
800 tickets, at 81 each, after the style of
rattle, to dispose of these lots; the tickets
were to be sold outright, independent Of
subscriptions for the paper. Nearly one
half Of the tickets have been sold, and ffom.
that source has been obtained large part of
the funds necessary to pull the paper through
the dull season. 4
Now, l have hit upon aplan to dispose of
the remainder Of the tickets and hasten the
time of deciding who shall be the lucky
winner of the lots. 1t is this:
