AMERICAN FEDERATION.
Denver Convention Will be Guests Of
the Typographical Union.

The annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor will be held
in Denver in November, and it prom
Uses to be the largest convention in
the history Of the organization. A
novel feature of the convention will
be an excursion to Colorado Springs
and visit to the Union Printers
Home as the guests of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union.
The Typographical Union is justly
proud of it's home at Colorado Springs,
and is anxious that union men of
every craft shall know about it. At
Boston the l. T. U. appropriated $1,000
with which to pay the expense OF en-
Pertaining the Denver convention with
an excursion to the Home at Colorado
Springs. A special train will be pro,
vided, and a fine luncheon will be
served on the Home grounds. The
distance from Denver to Colorado
Springs is about sixty-five miles, and
the whole entertainment will occupy
less than a day.

CARPENTERS WIN VICTORY.
Force Big New York Firm to Come

A short time ago The Wageworker
told how the Brunswick-Balke-Co Col
lander company of New York had
sought the courts to protect it from
the onslaughts of the union carpen-
tiers of New York City. The carpen-
tiers have been fighting this company
for years because of its unfair atti-
tude towards organized labor.
Well, the stuff's off, so to speak.
The company has Withdrawn its
suit for damages and mas signed up
with the carpenters union. From now
on it will employ union men only. II

pany to its senses, but patience ana

A HORRIBLE SHOWING.
Everybody's Magazine Prints Striking
Indictment Against Civilization.

In Everybody's Magazine for Sep
TENDER William Hard has an article
entitled The Law of the Killed and
Wounded" which should be read by
every man who works for daily wage.
Nothing of more vital interest to
wage-earners was ever published in
leading magazine, and Everybody's
and William Hard are to be thanked
for having given such striking ar
raignment of the laws delays and
uncertainties, of the laws bubbles
and injustice. The story of how the
employee is given the worst of it at
every turn is told with a wealth of
detail that is interesting if horrible,
and decision after decision dealing out
the rankest injustice to the toiler is
quoted from the records. Mr.. Hard
closes his splendid article as follows
why shouldn't every industry carry
the burden of its own killed and
wounded? Why shouldn't compensa-
ton for disability be just as much q
part of the cost of business as it is
Of the cost of war? Why shouldn't the
workman who goes into his daily fight
with modern machinery be assured
that his injury will be regarded as an
honorable wound, emitting him to de-
cent consideration? Why shouldn't
the industrial soldier, meeting his
death in forms as terrible as those
OF any battlefield, die knowing tina,
he will leave, if not glory, at least
a few years food to his family?
why shouldn't society, having in
vented machines which make business
one long war, treat the enlisted meT
at least like enlisted men and, if they
are incapacitated, assign them tenn
rorarily, or permanently, to the ranl
and pay of pensioners of peace?"
