not all be counted until today Mem

The color for July is gold on black.
Seven candidates were obligated at
the last meeting of Electrical Work
CAAAOAA NJ Ao4s one LuSulD6E was
reinstated and fifteen were admitted
on travelling cards. The members are
all working and the union is -four
ishing- The committee to confer with
the United Railroads reported that the
company would agree to give nine
hours from shop to shop, but as the
union insists on an eight-hour day
the company's proposition was re-
jected- If this matter is not settled
before July Is the union will be com
PEELED to take drastic measures to
enforce its demands. The United
Railroads is the only company in the
city that is not giving the eight hour
day and paying the union schedule.
The union hopes the matter will be
settled without trouble.
The Labor Council will be in regular
weekly session this evening at the
quested TO be in their seats promptly.
The hall committee viii have very
interesting report 20 make.
Members of the Laborers' Protec
tive Union can get the July quarterly
working card at $40 Golden Gate ave
nue.. Every member should attend
to this matter promptly.
Inc DlStrlct Councn or Carpenters
met Wednesday night at $40 Golden
Gate avenue. No union carpenter will
bet allowed to work on Saturday aft
ernoons after July 7. The half holiday
will be rigidly adhered to. There is a
constitutional provision preventing
union carpenters working on the
Fourth of July. The returns from the
picnic were the largest in the history
of the council.
From reliable sources it is learned
that the United Railroads has prom
ised TO give its mechanics and black
smiths a nine-hour day They are
now working ten hours The matter
is contingent on the electricians ac-
cepting the same hours, but No 15I
has voted not to accept such a propo-
sition. and the basis Of settlement is
doubtful. That union has been before
the company for an eight-hour day for
some time.

important business was transacted
Previous to the fire it was the inten-

Under the revised statutes of Colo
raoo IL is unlawful for an employer to
discharge an employe because of his or
her aflliation with a labor organiza-
ton, under a penalty of a fine of from
800 to $500, or imprisonment for not
less than six months or more than a
year, or both. The Trades Assembly OF
Denver win back up the Laundry
Workers Union in it's case against a

matters. Back of the proprietor is the
laundry trust. and the latter organiza-
tion is doing everything in its power TO
disrupt the union.
