the boiler repair shops OF the Burlington
railroad in Denver. About twelve men
were employed in Denver whes the strike
was organized recently and all of them
went out Two Of the oldest men re-
turned and the places OF the others were
filed with non-union men from the East.

that it will resist every attempt of the
national organization of boilermskers to
eliminate the piecework system in its
shops and will place non-union men at
every point along the line where repairs
are made.

roads OF the West and affecting about

crease OF 10 per cent. over the present
scale. The railroads voluntarily granted
IN increase OF . cents an hour. but the
compromise. The Rock Island is the
only road into Denver affected. but there
are score of other roads all the way
to the coast where the demands are be-
ing made.

of the roads entering Denver and are sat
isfied with the present scale. The Rock

marine cooks now in progress on the
Great Lakes Employment agents in
New York City have been boarding in
coming foreign ships for the purpose of
inducing the foreign seamen to desert.
Such men as could Ne entieed away from
their vessels were 70 be sent to various
lake ports.
Four dollars "a lead" was the price
which the employment agents claimed
they were receiving rom the shipowners
for each man that could be brought to
the lakes, besides vansportatiou for the
sailors.
The matter was It once reported to
the immigration officials and steps have
been taken TO put a stop to the Illegal
practice.
The number of alien seamen actually
secured by the LNke Carriers is small.
When the few men hey did get reached
the lakes and found they were required
to join a shipowners' welfare plan"
with its vicious discharge book system.
the men at once recognized the notorious
British Federation scheme and very
promptly refused TO sail.

Canadian seanen aud lnhorars have heen

coopers on strike.

Several weeks ago the union coopers
OF Nashville. Tenn. adopted a new
scale which provided for an increase of
cent per barrel The new scale was
presented TO the manufacturers on Mon
day last. The employers refused to
grant the increase and the members of
the union refused TO work. General Sec
retary Cable has been notified and will
be in Nashville some time during the
week. The employers made serious
mistake in not granting the small in
crease. The average cooper only makes
from IS TO $40 per week when working

$4,000 COLLECTED IN YEAR.

Labor Commissioner Ed. Brake has
now been in office for one year. and the
record his department has made he can
well be proud of. Through the working
of the new law passed by the last legis-
lature, regulating and licensing private
employment offices, his office has been
enabled to collect wages from dead-beat
employers to the amount of over $4,000.
and it must be remembered that this
large amount has been collected mostly
in small sums of less than $1,000 for
each person that the employers have
tried to beat out of their wages. These
persons comprise the poorest class of
unskilled labor. the class that needs pro
lection more than any other class, poor
women and girls. who some rascally en-
ployers have figured it would be easy to
defraud of their wages because they
have no money to hire lawyers or pay
court costs of suit to gain them. Blu.
these employers have found the last year
that there was new order of things and
that there was in the labor commits
sioner man who would rigidly enfosce
up game and see that these poor wocs-
ers received the money that was theirs.
The new law regulating private en-
ployment offices is the medium through
which this good work is able to be done.
for by the operation of this law the COM
missioner is able to employ people to
attend TO this phase of the work of the
department. and surely there can be no
better work done than the protection
of these comparatively helpless workers.
Without the new law II would be impos-
sible to attend to this work in any way
near an efficient manner.
II is true that great many labor
union people are lead to believe that
nothing was gained for labor from the
last legislature. but as the time pro
crosses and the workings Of the new
laws are properly understood. II will be
found that more real. practical laws for
the protection of the workers We're
passed by the Seventeenth General AS
sembly than was the case with any
previous Colorado legislature.

PAINTERS AND
PAPERHANGERS
Fight Over Affiliations at the Latter's
Hall on Arapahoe Street-PoIioe Are
Called When Guns Are Drawn.

A meeting of the Paperhangers was
held at their hall, 1S4S Arapahoe street,
Tuesday night to hear John NJ Finan of
Chicago first vice-president of their or
ganization, who is here endeavoring to
straighten out the trouble between the
Paperhangers and the Building Trades
Council The meeting adjourned without
coming to any agreement and most of
the 75 members had departed for their
homes, leaving only few of the leaders
who had opposed reaffiliation with the
council in the hall, among them Presi-
dent ]. L. Strickler and William Mori-
arity. who was a delegate to Cincinnati
for the Paperhangers and who took a.
stand in opposition to the painters and
incurred the enmity of John Barrett and
Henry Lavoe of the Painters. the for
mer president of the Building Trades
Council and the latter business agent of
the Painters. When these few remain
ing members were leaving the hall they
met Lavoe in the ante-room and he and
Moriarity became engaged in a fistic en-
counter Moriarity was getting the better
The hall is on the second floor and
when they proceeded further from the
hall they met Barrett at the head of the
stairs, with revolver in hand, so the
paperhangers say. He defied anv of them
to leave. The men. thoroughly fright
ened and without arms. retired to the
lodge room and barricaded the doors
Barrett Lavoe and others left the place
temporarily and while they were gone
one of the imprisoned men slipped out
of the hall and telephoned the police
station. Before the officer arrived
it is charged that Barrett and Lavoe
came back to the union hall and tried to
break in. but were not successful They
then retired and when the officers came
were on an opposite corner of the street
watching the men retire from the hall.
Conservative union leaders are
alarmed at the condition of the move
ment and are afraid if something is not
done the cause will be irreparably in
jured in Denver.
