To The Labor Bulletin Editor
Dear Sir and Brother-The idea of Or
ganization among the editors and pub
fishers of labor papers is meeting with
great favor You have been informed OF
the organization of the international
Labor Press of America" at the Toronto
convention of the A. F. of l.. F1fteen OF
us perfected the organization, and we
want every editor and publisher of labor
papers in America to join with us. Since
our first communication, number have
ioined-but the responses are desperate
ly slow. We can accomplish little or
nothing until we have a strong organlza-
tion. and in numbers there is strength
We have some good schemes cooking.
One. a special news feature-letters writ
ten by a man at the heart of things; VINO
has been writing labor news for years
Another is a big advertising scheme NO
graft connected with it. You get the
cream, not professional ad solicitors VINO
threaten and cajole. If you'll come IN

TRADES AND LABOR ASSEMBLY

At the meeting Sunday of the Assem-
bly, the attendance was up to the stand
ard and many new delegates were OBJ
ligated.
The Water committee made their re-
port They reported their inability to get
the two factions together and that they
were now working very hard to secure
the necessary signatures to their petition
for presentation to the City Council call
ing for a special election in regards to
the initiative, referendum and recall and
the election of utility board to have
charge of the various public corporations.
Brother C. C. Houston, editor of the
Colorado Industrial Review, delivered a
very fine address and stated that the Pu'
eblo Trades and Labor Assembly was in
ffrst-class shape and were doing much
good for the labor unions in Pueblo.

LABEL LEAGUE MEETING, JAN. 21sT.

The meeting was called to order at
the usual time with very large attend
ance.
The main business transacted was the
advocating of vigorous campaign for
the union label. The delegates think that
if the union people will put forth all
their efforts in this line that it will be
but a short time until all firms will put
in a full line of labeled goods.
There were several communications re-
ceived from different unions asking us to
assist them in having their goods put on
the market here. The same was referred
to committees to see what they could do
with the merchants towards having them
handle labeled goods.
The Bakers reported their union grow
ing and business very good.
Broommakers ask that we make de-
mand for their label and in that way we
can do away with the nonunon brooms
that are now on the market

DENVER ALLIED PRINTING TRADES.

Any one doubling the efficiency of per-
sonally interviewing the heads of firms
that have in the past, principally through
not possessing the knowledge of what the
Allied Printing Trades label really stands
for, should visit our Monday evening
meetings and hear reports of different
committees. In every instance have the
firms whose printed matter has in the
past been minus the label, agreed with the
members of the committee interviewing
them that our interests are mutual, and
in the future their printed matter Will
bear the label And we respectfully re-
quest all members of organized labor to
look for the label on the printed matter
coming into their hands. If minus the
label your own judgment will dictate to
you what course to pursue.

Some merchants think that adver-
tising space, is only valuable when
they are having special sale, but
this is mistake. People get the
habit of reading your ads, from week
to week, and they look for them the
first thing when they get the papers.
Advertising of any kind will not in
the long run pay the fellow who
does not live up to his statements
and do just as he says he will. He
must have legitimate business and
conduct it upon business principles
to make his advertising pay him.
Advertising is the life of any busi-
ness when it is done right.

A Handsome Woman

Every woman may not be hand
some, but every woman should
keep with care the good points
nature has given her. No woman
need have sallow skin, dull eve,
blotchy complexion, who pays
proper attention to her health.
Where constipation, liverderange-
ments, blood impurities and other
irregularities exist, good complex
ion, bright eyes and sprightly
movements cannot exist. Internal
arrangements reveal themselves sooner
or later on the surface. Headache, dark
rings around the eyes, sallow skin, con-
slant tired fecling---mean that the liver
and digestive organs are needing help and
correction. Chamberlain's Stomach and.
Liver Tablets give this necessary help.
They work in natures own why. They do not
merely flush the bowels but tone UP the liver and
stomach to fulfill their proper functions. So mild
and gentle do they act that one hardly realizes
chat they have taken medicine. Chamberlain's
Tablets can be relied upon to relieve biliousness
indigestion, constipation and dizziness. Sold ey.

INSTANTLY KILLED
AT DALLAS CITY
Herman Gilbert Accidently Struck by

While alighting from Santa Fe train
No. 20 on his return from trip to
Fort Madison Monday. at about 6 p.
M, Herman Bilbert of Dallas City slip
ped on some ice near the tracks, was
struck by the train and almost in
stantly killed.
Gilbert had been resident OF that
vicinity for four or five years, being
engaged In the buying and selling of
wood and lumber. He had consider,
able trade in Fort Madison, especially
with the Penitentiary and the chair
company, with whom he often con-
tracted for the sale of logs. Monday
being his usual business day in Fort
Madison he left for that place on the
afternoon passenger train, returning
on No. 20, which makes only short
stop. In getting off there We're sever
al ahead of him, SO. by the time he
reached the steps the train had start
ed and was gaining considerable
speed Death occurred almost instant
~ after the accident.
The deceased was forty-eight years
of age, was born at Fairfield, Iowa,
and is survived by one son.

RUN TO FIRE
A SLIPPERY ONE
Engines Turn Around Corner, Skid.
ding and Almost Turn Over at
Several Places in Long Run.

At $50 last evening, the fire depart.
ment made one of its longest and
hardest runs in many day or night.
an alarm being turned in from the
residence of Andrew Hayes at Sew
enteenth and Ridge street, where a
defective flue had caught fire and
caused some alarm lest it catch the
residence afire.
In the run of twenty blocks. the
streets which were filled with sleet
which had fallen during the after
noon with slight covering of snow,
proved dangerous, especially in turn
ing corners, the big steel bound wheels
OF the engines, spinning around the
corners where they turned and sever
al times, narrowly missing complete
turn over. Much precaution had to
to be used and the progress of the
apparatus and firemen In reaching a
FIRE, especially in losg run like the
ore last evening to the Hayes resi-.
dence, is slow work The sleet which
fills the thoroughfares is as harmful
to the hoofs of the fire horses as
heavily sanded roads, the frozen stuff
working between the hoofs and shoes
and making running hard on this ac-
count.
The firemen We're counting on just
two more runs last night, or early
this morning, between midnight and
dawn. for it often turns out SO, hut
luckily no blaze occurred and the fire
fighters were thankful for pillows and
blankets.

that some one ventured the opinion
that his wife must be one of the chief

theater and political calendar for the
benefit of women travellers. Quito
town women who want to be up will
the procession place those meetings
at the head of New York's attrac.

dates for themselves, SO the accom-.
