unions comprising the Pittsburg District
Council were called upon to vote for
two business agents and a secretary of
the council. F. E. Allen and w. S. Big
ger were the business agents and ]. C.
kephart. secretary. The affairs of the
council have been handled in a clean
business-like manner by these officials
and despite the fact that there were
seven candidates in the field. all three
were reelected by handsome majorities
The only opposition of any consequence
was encountered by Secretary Kephart
in the person of A. NJ. Swartz. but at
that he won out handily.

ToLLAno FOR GARMENT WORKERS.

Sunday next July II. the Garment
Workers union will picnic at Tolland.
on the Moffat road. This will be one of
the largest picnics ever given by this
popular organization, and as the weather
man has predicted that Sunday will be
one OF the hottest days Of the year. it is
believed that many will flock to Tolland,
one OF the most pleasant resorts ada
cent to Denver. There will be sports
of all kinds-races. jumping and several
special events; but the most important
will be the ball game by the Bloomer
Girls OF the Bayly- -Underhill factory
with Sussman's professionals. The
girls have played several games this
year. They practice several nights a
week and are in excellent form" P. j.
Devault's orchestra will furnish music.
1t is believed hundreds will get away
from the heat of the city by taking ad-
vantage of this excellent opportunity to
get close to nature in the mountains.
Trains leave the Moffat depot at s a. m.
and returning will leave Tolland at 7:s0
o'clock.

LABOR DAY COMMITTEE.

The Building Trades Council. at their
meeting Friday night, named their Labor
day committee. This committee will CO.
operate with a like committee from the
Trades and Labor Assembly and will de-
eide in what way the day will be OBJ
served this year. The committee fol-
lows: Frank Bryan of the Plumbers,
William Mersenbach, Cement Workers;
Thomas Dillette. Tilesetters; d. Fallon.
business agent of the council and men,
Der of the Steamhtters' union. and VIM.
Moore of the Sheet Metal Workers. The
men named by the Council and Assem-
bly, will compose one of the strongest
committees that ever made arrange
ments for Labor day celebration In
Denver.
Thomas Dillette, who will represent
the Council az Grand Junction on the
Sth of August at the State Federation
of Labor convention. has been voted
s125. This with the number of votes he
will cast for the Council will make his
acquaintance worth cultivating. Mr.. Dill
lette has been laid up recently with
rheumatism and while not fully recov-
cred is improving slowly.
The Council, at their recent meeting,
voted to subscribe for five copies OF The
Bulletin for their headquarters, AS
Charles block. The officers Of the Council
are certainly a live bunch and fully rec
ognize the benefits to be derived from a
wide-awalse labor paper.

Railroad Men on Pennsylvania Railroad
West Of Pittsburs Have Decided to
Strike " a Settlement Is Not Made.

Relations between the employees OF the
Pennsylvania Lines west of Pittsburg
and the company are at that point where
the employees are balloting on the propo-
sition to strike for a wage and condition
adjustment; both sides await develop

The dispute dates back to March OF

and trainmen submitted demands for ad-

tons After the procedure along the
lines laid down in the organization, the
matter finally reached G. l. Peck, gen

increase OF 6 per cent. accompanied by
changes in working conditions, would

SHEET METAL WORKERS
Are Prosressive-Raise Dues From $500
to $500 Per Quarter.

An example in support of the claim
that the lessons OF the past have been
learned by presentday unionists was
demonstrated by the Sheet Metal Work
ers OF Pittsburg at their last meeting.
when a resolution to increase the dues
from $500 to s4o0 per quarter was
adopted with but two dissenting votes.
At the same time the death benefit was
raised from $125 to $3.50. an increase Of
just 100 per cent; yet there are men
living today who when asked to cast their
lot with the union, exclaim. What good
will it do meg" The Sheet Metal Work
ers supply an answer against which no
amount of argument can stand. The
membership OF the Pittsburg local is
doubtless conscious Of the good work
done and realizes that by Strengthening
the treasury of the local still greater
good can be derived.

the ingenious claim that they have let
out their work on contracts and so have
no strike. The claim is denied by the

CARPENTERS TALK
OF AFFILIATl0h
Carpenters Unions Nos. 52s and 55 Are
Ordered by A. F. of L. to Get in the
Building Trades Council Delegates
Elected to Convention.

Brotherhood of Carpenters, No. 50,
Monday night elected w. H. Hayden,
Bert White, Tom Roddy and W. H.
Marker as delegates to the national con-
vention of the Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners of America, which meets in
Des Moines, Iowa, September 10. One
of the subjects for discussion at the con-
vention will be the proposition to reafhl-
late with the Building Trades Council.
The Building Trades Department of the
American Federation of Labor has in
structed the Carpenters national organi-
zation that where there is a Building
Trades Council that it is the sense of
the department that the Carpenters 10
Gals affliate, and they set the time limit
July &c, and therefore it is not improb-
able that the question will have been
settled when the convention assemblies
/ There is now a strong sentiment IN No
80 toward getting back in the Council
and this sentiment may dominate at any
time
There is also a bitter feeling between
the two Carpenters unions, No. 52S (the
millinery and No. So. The mill workers
claim they are not receiving the moral
support of the members of the Brother
hood of Carpenters and accuse them OF
violating their constitutional pledges by
not refusing to handle all material
turned out by the nonunion men who
are now at work in the planning mills.
| The millmen have been in conference
with the Council heads, and it would not
be surprising if they were received into
the central body at any time. But, as
We have said before, it is only matter
of time until the labor situation will be
cleared up in Denver and all will be
serene. II the Carpenters do not abide
by the decision of the Building Trades
Department of the American Federation
of Labor, it is believed the American
Federation of Labor will take action
against the national body at the next
| convention.
A few of the striking millmen have
returned TO work, quite a number oi
strikebreakers have been imported, an6
the mill operators deny the men arbitra
ton, and the fight goes merrily on. The
Brotherhood Carpenters say they have
been donating $1.7O0 weekly to the strik
ing mill workers.

BREAK IN CONTRACTORS RANKS,
Master Plumbers Vote To Sign with
Plumbers' Union.

Master Plumbers Vote To Sign with
Piumbers' Union.
Now we have a split in the ranks of
the Master Plumbers association that is
liable to end the 1S-months' war that has
been waged against the Plumbers union.
At the regular meeting Of the Master
Plumbers association Monday "a MEM
bers sprang a coup and moved that the
association make an agreement with the
Plumbers union. War has existed be-
tween the two bodies for is months.
The motion was carried by vote Of 40
to 81. The association then instructed a
committee to effect an amicable settle
ment with the union. The point at issue
was the employment of nonunion labor
by the master plumbers, so that settle
ment would mean a concession to the
union on the part of the association.
Tuesday morning 43 members of the
association issued statement that the
action taken Monday was illegal since
there were only 81 out of 81 members
who voted for the compromise and that
no notice had been given that the matter
was to come up for vote. They as
serted that the master plumbers would
continue to hire nonunion labor.
Some OF the largest contractors are
among those that are opposing the ac-
ton taken Monday night; but the result
shows that their number is almost even
ly divided for and against a settlement,
and it will not be long before the con-
tractors favorable to the union will win
out. as the tendency for organization and
the recognition of organization is ever
with us.
Credit for the agreement is largely
due to John r. Alpine. president OF the
Plumbers and Steamfitters' National as
sociation, who has been In Denver for
the last three weeks participating in the
conferences.
