Senator Patterson Exposes Cor
porations' Pact in Governor
Peabody's Campaign in
Which They Insist That
Courts Aid in Grab.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 5.-What is
taken as a thorough expose from a
Democratic standpoint of the over
turning Of the constitution and laws
of Colorado by the Republicans, who
are alleged to be carrying out the
distates of the Mine Owners Asso-
citation and the big corporations, was
yesterday morning published in the
News over the signature Of United
States Senator T. M. Patterson. He de-
clares that the action of the supreme
court, while it does not necessarily
mean conspiracy. indicates the judges
are also under the influence of the
corporations which are furnishing un-
limited money to push the election con-
tests, which have already resulted in
the capture Of the state legislature and
threaten to rob Alva Adams Of his
seat as governor, despite the fact he
was elected by 1000 plurality. The
statement is as follows:
Corporations Forsee Defeat.
For weeks before the election the

amendment for the consolidation of

would have the appointment of two of

WHAT THE LABEL IS.

1t is lnVulnefaDle to the injunction
the lockouts and the blacklists.
1t is essentially an emblem Of peace,
both in suggestion and in practice.
1t supersedes the boycott by concen-
union products
It protects the trades union against
attack by constituting the purchaser
the real employer.
1t facilitates organization by increas-
ing the demand for the products of or
ganized workers.
1t is peculiarly adapted to the nature
of that factor which typifies the high
est morality and controls the purchas-
ing power of the community, to-wit:
the mistress Of the household.
1t makes the strike unnecessary by
making compliance with union condi-
tions an advantage in business.
1t is the most economical agency of
trades-uniOn work, it's cost being little
compared to it's results.
It is a weapon that profits the en-
ployer equally with the en,ploye, but
only so long as both aim at the same
object. 1t can never be turned against
the employe, because it is the latter's
exclusive property.
1t is the advertising that costs moth
ing The union pays for it,
1t guarantees full returns on the
outlay in the form of increasing busi-
ness.
1t enlists the unions, their members
and friends in the interest of the en-
ployer.
1t insures stability in business be-
sound, enduring and Interchangeable.
1t saves time and talking in making
sales. 1t sells itself, and it never de-
ceives the purchaser.
1t signifies merit In the article--the
merit of good, clean workmanship
as well as the principle of fair play in
the treatment of employees.
It organizes the purchasing power
upon lines Of fair conditions Of labor
as against those conditions that destroy
the health and morality of the producer
and endanger the well-being of the
purchaser.
1t is an appeal to principle-princi-
pie that a dollar expended in the main
tenance Of fair labor is worth more in
the end than dollar saved at the bar
gain counter.
1t is the I'm Hoe Signo Vinces" OF
the crusade to rescue the child from
the workshop, factory and mill: the
women from the sweatshop and tene-
ment-house and the millions of labor
from the clutches of greed, degradation
and poverty.

Of UN|0N|SM
ON CAPITAL AND LABOR
Breaks Down the Barriers of
Race, Nationality and
Religion.
Teaches That the Glass In.
terests Of Workingmen
Are Alike.

In an article on '"rhe Effect Of Trade
Unionism'' in the Labor Clarion Pro-
fessor John r. Commons of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin declares that the
trade union is the greatest of existing
forces in what is called Americaniza-
tion. He points out that it breaks
down the barriers of race, nationality,
language and religion and teaches self
government and obedience to elected
leaders.
"A union cannot choose it's members
lika corporation or social club" says
Professor Commons, nor let in the
trusts on the ground floor like AM
algamated Copper or United States
Steel, but it must admit on equal terms
every man who works at the trade.
The anthracite coal strike commission
found some nineteen nationalities at
work in the mines, and it is reported
by the sociological department of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company that
their employees come from thirty-two
different languages. No other nation
in the world has set up hard task
like this for unionism. The American
nation has come to the aid of the en-
ployers with a protective tariff against
the products of foreign cheap labor,
but it has left to the unions the harder
task of protecting the laborer himself,
and this must be done not by keeping
the foreigner out, but by taking him
into the union. No wonder the unions
are forced to stand for the union shop.
The union shop is the workman's pro-
tective tariff. If compelled to give it
up. he will be compelled to so INTO
politics and stop immigration
In regard to acts Of violence attribut-
ed to unoins Professor Commons says:
Notwithstanding the many reports
of violence on the part Of unions. my
observation of particular unions shows
that they have reduced the total
amount Of violence. fractional fights,
race conflicts. brutal deeds Of morgan
lied Workmen, are reported only in the
local papers, but the deeds of the same
people after they are organized are re-
ported by the Associated Press.
The union took them in not because
they were brutal, but because the en-
ployer had hired them. Nevertheless
the duty of the union is to make them
peaceab BILE, for an organization must be
held responsible for the acts <of its
members in the furtherance of it's
aims. Only should it be borne in
mind that no other institution has
done so much as the trades unions to
educate our mixed population, just
emerging from centuries Of despotism,
in the ideals and peaceable methods of
American citizenship

March through Streets to Show

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 5.-Defying the
grim terrors of winter, four thousand
girls and men, garment workers, yes
terday marched, cheering, through the
downtown streets to show the public
that they are still in the fight for the
"closed shop
The union garment makers have been
on strike against the twenty-four To-
cal shops of the National Wholesale
Tailors' Association for more than a
month and a half.
The parade Of the union members
yesterday through Chicago was to
show the public that their ranks are
unbroken and that they are still brave
ly holding out in the face of winter,
for their right to organize and to have
only their members and their working
rules prevail in the wholesale tailor
shops.
Appeal and Demonstration.
The parade was an appeal and a
demonstration to the public.
No person, whether Of union or anti
union sympathies, but admired the
brave spirit shown by hundreds Of the
girl workers, as they trudged through
the streets yesterday.
1T will take time and money to
break these 1anks," was the proud mot
to on one transparency carried by the
strikers. And another just as proudly
proclaimed: "Our Officers Cannot Be
Bought Two-thirds of the $500 union
garment workers are girls.
Every man. in the parade yesterday
wore a pasteboard helmet reading:
"Closed Shop! Special Order Garment
Workers!'
One direct appeal to the people was:
people, help our cause. 1t is just"
Perfect Order Prevails.
The parade was directed over streets
on which front most of the twenty1four
shops of the National Wholesale Tail
ors' Association, which is fighting the
demands of the union.

Non-uniOn strike breakers who looked
out Of the windows at the organized
fellow toilers they were opposing were
greeted with derisive calls, but that
was all. The parade formed on Wash
ington street, at Fifth avenue, shortly
after noon. It was under command of
Chief Marshal Frank Kohl Of the Cut
ters' Union.
The 1000 girls marched at the head of
the second division. They were greet
ed with cheers all along the way. Each
girl wore a big red and blue button.
Some Of the notices carried were:

"Down With the Open Shop!'
The parade disbanded at Washington
and Dearborn streets, after traversing
portions Of Congress, Monroe, Market,
Madison, La Sale, Clark, Franklin,
Washington streets and Fifth avenue.
Chief Marshal Frank Kohn said of
the parade:
I'VE are engaged in the most right
eous of strikes-we are contending for
the right to organize and preserve fair
conditions. The employers are sacri-
ficing honor, business and everything
else to kill union principles.
1.-The aarade is to show that the strike
is still on in full force and refute false
reports to the contrary. We are able
to hold out as long as the employers
can in the struggle. Even the employ
ers are dissatisfied with such non union
labor as they have been able to get."

of the Waterloo Democrat, if taken
seriously, has somathing of ''sour

1.-The papers Of some of our neigh
boring cities are throwing "a new kind
of fit, which has been diagnosed as
"electritis." The symptoms are su-
perinduced by fear of an interurban
connection with some of their neigh
boring towns. Brodhead and Ocono-

year ago, and regularly brings some
