LABOR PLANS ALLIANCE WITH
UNION FARMERS.

Washington-The formation OF a ma
tional labor party is the plan of some
officials of the American Federation of
Labor, the executive council of which is
in session in Washington.
An alliance with the Farmers union
is being planned by the leaders of the
two organizations. 1t may be accom-
plished in May, when the Farmers union
meets in annual convention. President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor will address the farm
ers on May at st. Louis.
The present meeting of the executive
council is a special one, called to dis
cuss a report by Mr.. Gompers upon all
phases of the labor situation
Mr. Gompers pointed to the decision
of the courts as they affect labor and to
legislation now pending before congress.
This legislation, especially the Moon
bill, was bitterly assailed. This bill was
denounced by President Gompers. He
said that instead of being an anti-injunc-
ton bill it was a pro-injunction bill.
A general discussion of the charges
presented to President Taft regarding the
general attitude of the administration
was had.
.
session said they were apprehensive of
organized labor's future and declared
that something would have to be done
to protect themselves or the federation
would go the same route as the old KING
would go the same route as the old
knights of Labor.
A member said that there were more
than 100000 members of the Fedora
ton of Labor, that the Farmers union
had 100000 members, that other labor
organizations not affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor numbered
nearly a million, and that they would all
join labor party.
1t was also stated by a Western men,
Der that the farmers were ready to make
an alliance for national labor party.
Those who attended the first session
were President Gompers, vice-Presidents
James Duncan, d. A Hayes, w D. Huber,
H. B. Perham, Treasurer John r. Len
non and Secretary Frank Morrison John

A GOOD POSITION OPEN.

The Continental Casualty Co. in the
Mercantile building. has good position
10 offer the right man. This company
wants a man who is honest, of good char
acter, who desires to make money, and
who will tell the truth. In conversation
with Mr.. Kellogg, the manager for
the company, we are told that the place
is one of the best they have had to offer
for years. A hustler can easily make
$4,000 a year in this pisition. The Cas-
ualty company does the largest business
of any company in Colorado doing a
strictly accidental insurance business.
This company did business of 100000
in Colorado alone last year, and paid out
over $4,000; and in the United States
did a business of over $4,000. 900 The
editor of The Bulletin desires to see the
readere of this paper gather in these
good things.

If the combined efforts OF state officials

count for anything the scrip system in
vogue in the mines of southern Colorado
will be abolished and the check weigh
man system established. Demands are
to be made at once by the miners that
the state law governing the check weigh
man system be enforced and inasmuch
as. the officials who have the power to
enforce this law are friendly to the
unions the latter feel that it will be done
soon The law says that if the miners
are willing to contribute the salary of a

panies to any expense they can do so and
it is the duty of the employers TO permit
the check weighman to be at the mines
