United labor bulletin., 1909-11-26
OUR CHRISTMAS EDITION AND
WARNING TO THE PUBLIC.

On the first of October we changed our
monthly Bulletin into weekly labor pa
per. One of the main reasons causing
the same to be done was to be able to
give to the working people of Denver and
vicinity and our merchants paper that
would devote its columns to the advance
ment of the working masses. We are en-
deavoring to have all articles published
pertaining to the welfare of the workers
and also expect to be able to prevent any
concern getting out under the pretense
of representing organized labor to solicit
funds for their aid. We are now working
on large Christmas edition which we
expect to have published one week before
the holidays in the form of souvenir
paper. We expect this to surpass any
and all of our past efforts. We will have
the history of the various organizations
from their time of formation locally and
a general synopsis of the labor movement
in Denver and we take this method of
notifying all of our friends that there is
only one legal labor paper published in
the city of Denver as a weekly, one that
is owned and controlled absolutely by the
labor unions; that our solicitors who are
working on the Christmas edition have
all got credentials properly signed by the
editor, w. D. Henderson, and all others
who may present themselves represent
ing to be from the labor unions are i'm
posters and should not receive the recog
milton nor the courtesy that are usually
rendered our people. There are several
individuals in the city attempting to run
a union paper under the caption of labor
and we would warn all the merchants
against those people because they do not
represent the unions in our city, but are
self-appointed representatives working
for their individual benefit. At any time
that these imposters may present them
selves we would ask the merchants to
telephone the business office of The
United Labor Bulletin and we will be
pleased to give correct and honest in
formation upon that line.
On the first page of our paper you will
find an article pertaining to the disaster
at Cherry, ILL.,, which certainly should ap-
peal to all of our citizens to sense of
duty that they win and should soon per-
form. That is to acquaint themselves
with the facts of their laws and get to-
gether for the purpose of having enacted

One that without question the destitute
families may have redress. 1t is certain
ly a deplorable state of affairs that we
have in our United States leaving home
less children and widows to provide for
themselves, owing to no other cause or
reason excepting that greed of the en-
ployers in their mad rush for wealth We
have great crimes committed in this
country perhaps not under the statutes
of our recognized laws, but by common
law, and that is employers losing track
of the fact that his employe is much of
his machinery as the manufactured ma
chinery that is necessary for the opera
ton of the various plants. We think 1t
high time that Americans were awaken

that the suicide or suicide as it has been
termed by our courts is not SO much as
ex-President Roosevelt has stated it. but
more through the lack of good laws
