Chairman Knapp of the Inter
state Commerce Commission
and Labor Commissioner
Neill Pressed Into Service.
STRIKE WILL OCCUR
IF MEDIATION FAILS
Hour for the WaIkout Had Been
Set and the Union Officials
Were Preparing to Go Home
When the Final Offer Came.
TWO DISPUTED POINTS

Chicago, March 15.-Danger Of an
immediate strike of q 900 locomotive
firemen, the throwing out of employ
ment of more than 125, 900 other EN-
ployes and the temporary suspension
of business on practically every rail
road between Chicago and the Pa
cific coast, was averted today through
the acceptance of offers for mediation
from the federal authorities.
At the requests of the general man
ayers of the AZ railroads involved,
Chairman Knapp of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and Commits
sioner of Labor Neill, telegraphed an
offer of mediation to the union off
Gals. This offer was accepted, W.
S. Carter, president of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen, stipulating however, that
action must begin at once.
The appeal to Washington was taken as
an eleventh-hour movement to prevent
d walkout which. it was declared, threat
ened che greatest railroad strike since
that of 1894
Thirty-seven members Of the Western
Federated Board of the Brotherhood at
midnight last night formally voted for a
strike. The hour for striking had been
set for next Monday morning, and tha
members were prepared to start for their
homes, TO put the strike into effect, when
the mediation steps we're taken.
Ii is stipulated that the mediators com
~ al inc 70 sNTna tor
their function will be. not to arbitrate the
matters in dispute. but TO determine wha
shall be arbitrated. The questions in
vOlve wages, which both sides hay
agreed upon as arbitratable the tw
other technical points, involving promo
ton and representation in the union
which the brotherhood contends are ar
bitratable, but which the railroads say
are not. IF the mediation falls through
the strike will go right on as planned, ."
said Mr.. Carter.

PREssMeN VOTE TO STRIKE.
Strike Order Asked of the Executive
Council of the International.

The Web Pressmen of Denver are
again having trouble with the Newspa
per Publishers association. year age
the pressmen were forced to strike to
force their demands for raise of their
scale. They asked for back pay from
the time they made their previous de.
mand for raise on account of the delay
of the representative of the Publishers
association in arranging for arbitration
and on account of an agreement reached
at sitting of representatives of the or
ganizations concerned at Kansas City in
August, 1909. When the pressmen
walked out an agreement was signed by
all concerned that the back wage de-
mand would be paid within 15 days and
that an increase of 20 per cent would
be granted. This agreement was abro-
gated by the Post, who were the first to
sign as the pressmen first went out at
the Post, and the pressmen were locked
out before the time had arrived for the
payment of the money under the agree
ment.
Following this an agreement was made
that the pressmen would return to work
at the 20 per cent. increase and that the
matter of back pay would be taken to
the convention, which was held at Co.
lumbus, Ohio. The convention decided
that the agreement signed should stand
and be enforced
The matter has been again taken up
with the Newspaper Publishers associa-
tion, and they have refused to live up to
the signed agreement. But instead they
have endeavored to get the Denver Times
to join the association and fight for an
open town in all branches of newspaper
work. The Denver Times would not en-
ter the compact, but instead have signed
up with the pressmen and signed a label
contract with the Allied Printing Trades
Council. The association is composed of
the Post, News and Republican. The
Denver Express is signed up and is union
in every department and carries the
label
The local organization of Web Press
men have taken a vote to strike, which
was almost unanimous. They have asked
the executive council of their interna-
tional for a strike order and the council
is in session this week to consider the
advisability of granting the request. AS
the convention sanctioned the contract,
the strike order will most likely be given
and will probably be made effective Sat
urday night.
1t is said that the Publishers associa-
tion has asked Commissioner Kellogg Of
the association to intervene and use his
good offices to prevent the tieing up of
the three daily papers.

FACTORY INSPECTOR RESIGNS.
Kathryn Williamson Gives Up Place In
Labor Department.

Mrs. Williamson has resigned her
position as factory inspector in
the office of Deputy Labor Commits
sioner Brake, and it is said that
her resignation was rendered that she
might aspire to another political office
without her political ambitions interfer-
ing with the work of the labor depart
ment. Mrs. Williamson says that her
work in the department has not been as
tasteful as it would have been had the
laws that govern the department been
more explicit and been drawn in such a
way as to be possible of enforcement.
Mrs. Williamson is one of the brightest
women in the labor organizations of
Denver, and is also a member of the
Federation of Womens clubs. She says
that the fee charged for factory inspec-
tions is extortionate, while few of the
recommendations made by the inspect
ors are possible of enforcement on ac-
count of the laws being drawn in such a
way that it requires the action OF the in
active district attorneys before results
can be obtained.
1t is said by those who know that Miss
Genevieve Miles will get the place.
Miss Miles is delegate to the Trades
and Labor Assembly and holds the Of
fee of sergeant-at-arms OF the central
body. She was vice-president OF the
assembly during the term for officers
ended in July. Miss Miles is also a dele
gate to the Label League and member
of the business committee of that organ
ization. She was a delegate to the
convention of the international union of
the United Garment Workers. OF which
organization she is a member, being en-
ployed in the factory of the hustling
Bayly-Underhill factory on Eighteenth
street. The convention OF the Garment
Workers was held in Detroit. Mich.
in August. and after attending the
convention Miss Miles made an extended
tour through the East, visiting friends
in Baltimore. Md. She returned to Dem
yer two weeks ago.

1.-THE BATTLE" AT AUDITORIUM.

THE Battle" in which Wilton Lackaye
will be seen at the Auditorium, Denver,
during the week beginning Monday, Oct.
"a, under the auspices of the Colorado
Traffic club, is, first of all, strong,
virile drama of life and love Under GER
tain modern conditions in large Amer
lean city That the novel trend of it's
discussion of the problems of labor and
capital melted the Socialists of New
York to hold mammoth mass meeting
to consider and discuss the teachings of
the play, and that John d. Rockefeller
was SO stirred by Mr.. Lackayes work in
the role of John j. Haggleton that he
suggested speeches to be used in pre-
senting this character, were mere Incl
dents showing the widespread influence
of a serious dramatic effort. But first
and foremost, The Battle" is one of the
most entertaining plays of recent produc-
tion.
Svengali in "Trilby," Curtis Jadwin in
1.-THE Pit and now John ]. Haggleton in
"The Battle" are three characters on
which Lackaye can allow his fame as a
fine and fertile actor to rest, although
the list of roles to which he has given
his earnest and scholarly effort runs
into the hundreds.
"The Battle" ran an entire season at
the Savoy theater in New York, but has
never before been seen in the Rocky
mountain West, although Lackaye is well
and favorably known here as a star.
Liebler & Co. have surrounded him with
a most adequate cast
During the entire weeks engagement
the Colorado Traffic club, that large and
influential social organization of Colo
RADIO business. professional and railroad
men, will receive a liberal percentage on
all tickets sold by the club or its men,
bers. The proceeds will be applied to
furnishing the new quarters of these
well known boosters" in the Denver
Chamber of Commerce building. 1t is
expected that the week will be one of
the most notable one in the history of
Denver theatricals. The usual matinees
will be given Wednesday and Saturday
and the Auditorium's popular scale of
prices will prevail.

WOMAN FOR LEeIsLATuRE.
Assembly Endorses Woman Trades
Unionist for Office.

An age is dawning in Colorado when
the women of the state will demand
equal representation with men in public
office and rightfully SO. Women have
been represented in the legislature of
this state, with a brilliant record; but
there is yet to sit in the legislature
woman trades unionist.
On the Platform Democratic ticket
there is woman trades unionist who is
candidate for representative from
Denver county. She is Miss Sadie Nc
Manus of the Garment Workers union,
a delegate to the Denver Trades and
Labor Assembly and Union Label
League No. 1. Her fidelity to the cause
of union labor and to the working class
is unquestioned, and when elected will
fill the office in way that will be
credit to the women that toll with their
hands and brains for living.
Miss McManus has many times been
honored by her fellow trades unionists.
and at the coming election they should
excel themselves by elevating her to the
office to which she aspires.
At the regular meeting of the Denver
Trades and Labor Assembly Sunday the
delegates enthusiastically and unani-
mously passed the following resolution
on the candidacy of Miss McManus:
believing the cause or labor can be
advanced by legislation protecting and
safeguarding the life, limb and health
or the wage worker; and believing such
legislation can be best advanced by leg
islators from our own ranks; and as we
have one of our members, Sadie Nc
Manus, candidate for the legislature,
whose loyalty and devotion is unques-
toned; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Denver Trades and
Labor Assembly, that we heartily en-
dorse the candidacy of Sadie McManus
and urge all trades unionists to support
her,"

THEATERS
New Union Theater.
MIR. G. H. GRAVES DESERVES THE
CREDIT OF OPENING THE FIRST
ABSOLUTELY UNION sc MOVING
PICTURE THEATER IN DENVER.

The Princess theater in Denver is to-
day the only UNION Sc moving picture
theater in town and from what has been
done in the way Of business the past
few days will demonstrate to the OTHER
moving picture houses that organized la
bor will patronize only those houses that
are union. LET ORGANIZED LABOR
PUT HER SHOULDER TO THE
WHEEL AND HELP BOOST THE
PRINCESS THEATER.
One hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars has been invested in a five-cent
theater in Denver-the Princess, on Cur
tbs street-and the new place was opened
Tuesday, $4,000 persons passing through
the doors the first day. These figures
of attendance are the more remarkable
in view of the fact that the only attrac-
tion was music by an orchestra composed
solely of women, with Antonio Biehle as
leader. There are 10 players.
The theater has seating capacity of
1000 and the chairs are as comfortable
as were ever installed in any public
place in Denver. The theater is we'll
ventilated mechanical devices causing a
complete change of air every minute
Another inviting feature is that there is
not post in the place, the balcony be-
ing of the steel suspension kind.
Five cents is to be the charge for ad-
mission at all times. Moving pictures
of high class will be shown, with instru-
mental and vocal Accomplishments.

FRENCH FOR CONSTABLE.
A Loyal Trades Unionst Who Should
Be Well Supported.

There is a trades unionist candidate
for office on the Progressive Republican
ticket. which is part of the Citizens
and Platform Democratic ticket, that
should receive the support of every
trades unionist in the city of Denver.
That candidate is L. NJ French, of the
Cigarmakers union, delegate to the
Denver Trades and Labor Assembly and
an ex-president of the assembly and also
of the Cigarmakers' union. Mr.. French
is trades unionist of 80 years standing
and there is yet to be that breath OF sus-
picion whispered concerning him that is
said of SO many trades unionists in a po-
litical way. Mr.. French is a candidate
for constable on the fusion ticket of the
three reform parties, and if elected as
he should be, he can be depended upon
to do his duty as an officer.

DELEGATE KOCH REPORTS.

Delegate Koch of the Brewery Work
ers to the convention of that interna-
tional made a short but effective report
to the Trades and Labor Assembly Sun
day. He said that during the year the
organization had received $4,000 new
members The Brewery Workers now have
a 9s per cent organization. The labels OF
ali organizations were approved and
their members instructed to patronize
the same The Brewery Workers took
action against nornion machinery and
will not work machinery manufactured
In unfair shops. Mr.. Koch said that dur
ing the year 1000 members had been
suspended, the majority because they
had purchased nonunion goods and re-
fused to patronize the union label. One
man in particular had built house with
unfair labor and was expelled. The
member appealed to the international
and the local union was sustained.
The Brewery Workers is one OF the
most progressive organizations in the
labor movement and their stand in re-
gard to patronage of fair products should
be adopted by all organizations in the
labor movement.

others have been asked II they had given
their consent. and they answered In the
negative. Among those named are Ed

CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE COLO
RADIO SUPREME COURT ROBERT w..
STEELE DIED AT HIS HOME AT 8
O'CLOCK WEDNESDAY EVENING OF
APOPLExY.
That Justice Steele was one of the
most conscientious jurists ever on the
supreme bench is the conviction ex-
pressed by veteran lawyers all over Col
orado, and cordially confirmed by the
present members of the court For ten
years his opinions, clearly thought, hon
estly conceived, and expressed with a
degree of lucidity and vigor seldom at
tanned, have been the admiration even
of lawyers who could not, at times, en-
tertain the same views.
All through the strenuous days of the
Colorado labor war Judge Steele was the
one man on the supreme bench that dis
sented from the opinions of the majority
of the court in deporting union men and
sending others to the bullpen because
they were union men.
Judge Steele had just been nominated
to succeed himself on the supreme bench
and his death is a severe blow to all
law-abiding citizens.
The hated Judge Gabbert, who was
chief justice at the time of the Colorado
labor war, has this to say of Judge
Steele:
I'VE were associated for nearly 10
years as members of the supreme court
and necessarily became well acquainted
with his traits of character. He led an
exemplary life in every respect and was
always attentive to his duties. He had
lovely and friendly disposition and al
ways intended to be just. We differed
ia,
cases brought to the court for determin-
alton. but these differences never inter-
fered with our personal relations. 1t is
almost impossible to realize that death
has ended his career. Three weeks ago
tonight he was stricken. The afternoon
preceding we were together for several
hours discussing cases. He seemed to
be perfectly well, and when we separ-
ated to meet at 10 the next morning it
never occurred to me that we would
never meet again. The state has lost
valued citizen and the bench a just
judge"
Justice White of the supreme court
has this to say of Judge Steele, and ex-
presses in two paragraphs all that could
be said of any man:
I'm the death of Judge Steele this
court and the state have suffered an ir-
reparable loss. He was pure and incor-
ruptible, a most excellent judge, con-
scientious, clear-sighted and learned, pre-
senting a judicial characterize purity
of which was as the diamond and the in
tegrity of which was as granite.
.In my experience on the bench, and
association with him, learned to know
and love him we'll. He was generous in
his impulses, faithful in his friendships,
kind and noble in all his feelings and
aspirations. In the disposition of causes
he knew no parties, but ever sought the
right Some of the opinions which he
delivered while member of this court
will ever stand as beacon lights in the
cause of justice, liberty and representa-
i've government. OF the value of such a
life there is no measure"
