Congress to be held in Denver on Decem-
ber 15th-17th is the first step toward the
organization of great congress OF
American Apple Growers and Dealers.
Thus will be the only national organiza-
ton Of its kind ever proposed and is
destined to become of much importance
to growers and dealers In all parts Of
the country.
The initial meeting for the organiza-
tion of this has been oficially called by
Governor John F. Shafroth, who has also
sent invitations to governors OF other
apple producing states asking that they
send delegates.
Colorado as the leading apple growing
state in the Union is the logical state to
take the initiative in organizing this i'm
portant congress.
The Denver & Rio Grande railroad
takes pleasure in announcing rate OF
one fare for the round trip to Denver.
Tickets will be on sale from all stations
in Colorado on December 14th, except

PRgssMEN MAKING FIGHT.
viii Attack Kansas City Post-Non-
Union Printers and stereotypers
Advertised For.

The strike of the Web Pressmen on
the News, Post and Republican is taking
on acute form at this writing. The press
men are making great inroads into the
circulation of the three newspapers and
in return the newspapers have replied in
articles in their papers that are bitter,
to say the least.
Tuesday morning of this week there
appeared in the News an advertisement
for six non-union stereotypers with
blind" or box, address; and Wednesday
morning the News came out with long
double-column article on the first page
denying that it was put in at their in
stigation, and blamed it on the press
men. Organizer Simons, for the press
men, denies most emphatically that the
pressmen had any knowledge of the ad.
previous to the publication. He says
that the News wants non-union stereo-
typers, that they advertised for them,
and then endeavored to cast the odium
of their act on the pressmen. Mr.. Simons
further says in support of his theory,
that the stereotypers are after raise
of wages and that their old scale will
expire in few days. He says that the
newspapers want the open shop and will
not sign up a new agreement with the
stereotypers.
Mr.. Simons, in further support of his
theory, points to the Advertisements that
are appearing in Missouri river papers
calling for 60 compositors for Denver.
Wednesday the board of public works
took action against the pressmen and
those in sympathy, directing that they
cease using stickers on public buildings
and on the streets and other places.
President Read of the board said he
wanted it stopped because it disfgured
the city, as they were being used by the
hundreds. The reading on them says
that the papers are non-union.
The pressmen had post cards printed
and their friends sent them through the
mail to the papers involved, asking that
their paper be discontinued; others were
sent to advertisers saying that II they
continued their ads with the struck pa
pers the senders' patronage would be
withdrawn. Mr.. Simons was called be-
fore the postoffice inspector and after a
conversation and explanation. he was
told that the cards to the advertisers
would be held up but the ones to the
papers would be allowed to go through
the mails. slls ~ Af
The fight is waxing warm. The press
men have put a wagon on the street with
an inscription on it which says that the
papers are still non-union, and that arbi-
tration is refused.
Mr.. Simons further says that the Kan
sas City Post will be attacked if the
Denver Post does not make settlement
soon New Developments are expected
at any time.

AN ENTERPRIsINe UNION.
Printers Organization Has Nearly 1900
Students Enrolled In Educational
Course.

1t is not as well known as it might be
that the typographical union is inter
ested in a trade educational project. A
booklet just from the press tells us that
nearly 1900 students are enrolled and
that the lessons-which are given by
correspondence-are sold below cost
price. The union furnishes what in
higher educational circles would be
called an endowment by paying all ad-
vertising and promotional expenses and
giving each person who finishes the
course from SIS up 1t is estimated that
from $4,000 to $4,000 year is expended
in this way by all the typographical
unions.
\ The booklet referred to contains testi-
monials from students of the course, and
from the youth of II to the veteran Of 81
they say the instruction given is of high
value and we'll worth the time and
money required. This is but one Of the
many projects sustained by the printers
union. 1t has spent million dollars
maintaining a home and tuberculosis
sanatorium which is conceded to be in
the front rank of world institutions for
fighting the white plague. It has also a
pension system for aged and infirm mem
bers which costs about 100000 year.
The minimum pension is - week; in
the larger cities this is supplemented by
the local union 30 that in New York
pensioners draw $s week and in Chi
cago 81.

CHARTERS SUSPENDED.

The charters of the International Asso-
citation of Steam and Hot Water Filters
and Helpers of America and the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
of America have been revoked by the
American Federation of Labor. This ac-
ton was taken at the st. Louis conven-
ton last Saturday and will cause the
withdrawal of the Brotherhood Carpen-
ters from every Building Trades Council
in the United States and Canada. The
charters were revoked because the or
ganizations named failed to abide by the
decisions of the Building Trades depart
ment of the A. F. of L. The trouble with
the two organizations has covered over
two years and this action was taken only
after all efforts at adjustment were ex-
hausted by the executive council. Build
ing Trades Council men will not cease
working with the carpenters, and it is
believed that reaffiliation will soon be
sought by both organizations.

BARNES COMMERCIAL SCHOOL
RAPIDLY GROWING
INSTITUTION.
over 500 Office Positions Filled BY This
School the Past Year.

The Barnes Commercial school, To-
Gated at 1625-13 Champa street, COM
pletely outgrew its quarters this past
summer and has added five class rooms,
besides remodeling its former rooms.
The changes are now complete and the
visitor finds a large, finely equipped
school and faculty of earnest teachers.
Thorough courses in Bookkeeping,
Shorthand, Typewriting, English and
supplementary branches are given by
the school. Much attention is also given
to features of special interest to young
people; as an active literary society,
school orchestra and quarters and
choruses of students under the direction
of a special teacher. Addresses are
given nearly every week by prominent
business men at the Friday morning ex-
ercises, which have become recognized
feature of the school.
The Earnest school has probably pre-
pared more young men and women for
successful business careers than any
other business college in the West. over
500 office positions have been filed the
past year. Denver and Colorado employ
ers appreciate the thoroughness or the
schools instruction and its practical ap-
plication to real business problems.
MANY new students are enrolling this
month for course during the winter
months, and Secretary H. E. Barnes IN

LABOR GUILDS AND EARLY TRADES
UNION OPPRESSION.
(By the Rev. Charles stelzle.)

(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle.)
It is a question as to whether the labor
guilds were not composed of the en-
ployers of labor as well as the crafts
men themselves. 1t appears also that
these guilds were commercial organiza-
tions rather than labor unions in the
modern sense. The central figure of the
guild organization was the master crafts
man who owned the instruments of pro-
duction and sold the product. There
was a sense in which the municipality
became interested in the guilds, because
they were sometimes organized or super
vised for the benefit of the consumer, SO
that many of the leading men of the
guilds were officers of the municipality,
charged with the protection of the public
from adulteration and fraud. We find
therefore, in these guilds representa-
ton of the three classes concerned-the
employer, the employe, and the public
Perhaps we have something to learn in
this respect from these medieval c'ti-
zens.
Modern trades unionism had it's rise
in 1924. Prior to this time organized Ia
Dor was outlawed. The workers were
compelled to meet in secret, often at the
midnight hour, in dens and far corners
of the field. Their officers were SEN
fenced to long terms of Imprisonment
for violating the statute which had been
passed by the House of Commons in 1893
forbidding all combination of whatever
nature. 1t is true that this law applied
to employers as well as employees, but it
naturally affected the workingman far
more seriously than it did his boss. In
many ways the employers had the ad
vantage An employer was at liberty, at
any time, to turn off his entire force of
workmen, if they would not accept the
wages which he chose to offer. But it
was a criminal offense for the workmen
to leave that master if he refused to
give the wages which they asked. The
law of 1893, which professedly was en-
acted to prevent combination, actually
created new crimes of SO indefinite a
nature that no one journeyman or work
man will be safe in holding a converse
ton with another on the subject of his
trade or employment" While working
men were frequently sent to jail for such
offenses, the employers were very rarely
reached by the courts when they Of
Tended even more grievously. At the
Aberdeen Master Tailors' Guild, in 1897,
1T was represented to the trade that
their journeymen had entered into an
illegal combination for the purpose of
raising their wages" The masters unan-
imously agreed not to give any addi-
tional wages to their servants, and
backed up this resolution of their own
combination by having 12 journeymen
prosecuted and fined for the crime of
combining"
In 1917, Bolton constables, accidental
ly learning that 10 delegates of the
calico-printers from the various districts
of the kingdom were to meet on New
Years day, arranged to arrest the whole
body and seize all their papers. The 10
delegates suffered three months impris-
onment, although no dispute with their
employers was in progress. The records
are replete with accounts of similar oc-
currences.

There will be no more shaking of dice
for the ''soft drinks" cigars, candy or
hot lunches in the city, if the decree of
the officials are observed by those who
have heretofore permitted the elusive
game To be tipped from the box. Deputy
Sheriff Oscar +. Webster and night
watchman Al. Webber, made the rounds
Tuesday and gave out the word TO lay
aside the boxes and give the dice rest.
This was cheerfully done at most of
the places and some went SO far as TO
say they were pleased that such action
had been taken and were only To glad
To throw out the game rs il was II
nuisance any way and created the gamb-
ling spirit and habit in the young men.
Mr. Webster gets his authority TO act
from headquarters, and says he proposes
To keep tab on the dice box here after.
