PICNIC A SUCCESS.

The Garment Workers picnic at Toll
land last Sunday was a great success.
There was large attendance and every
one had fine time, and returned home
believing that the day was well spent
BY getting close to nature.
In the ball game the Susmans were
victorious in a close game, by the score
of to over the Bayly-Underhill girls
team. The boys won the game in the
first inning when they got four safe
bingles with few errors mixed in
which netted them six runs. After the
first inning Pearl jackson, who was on
the mound for the girls, settled down
and only allowed them two more hits
during the remainder of the game. The
feature of the game was the batting of
Pearl Britton, the crack third-sacker of
the Bloomer Girls, who got three hits
out of three times up, one for single
and the others each good for two bases.
While she and Genevieve Miles both
made good catches. Irma Headley, who
watches the initial sack, played her
usual steady game. Following is the
score by innings: rt R. H. E.
Susmans .....6 o 1 O Is 2

Batteries: Susmans Golden and

HOW TO DESTROY OBJECTIONABLE
ORGANIZATIONS.
tBy Rev. Charles stelzle.)


From time to time social reformers Or
ganize societies for the determination of
other societies which have for their OBJ
ject the securing of better conditions for
the workers. Now it is perfectly legiti-
mate for the objectors to disagree with
the exponents of particular social theor-
les or special programs. Those who form
the society to be exterminated no doubt
have the same right to their personal
convictions, especially in this country.
On general principles, it is a mighty poor
policy to organize any society upon a
merely negative basis. 1t is far better
to work constructively. In any event, If
a group of persons is opposed to the pro-
gram of particular organization, the
best way to make that organization non
effective is either to eliminate the causes
which gave occasion to the formation of
the organization, or, to advocate a pro-
gram or a system which will more ef-
fectively bring about the conditions
which are to be desired. The best way
to destroy the evils in any situation is
to pour in so much of the good that
there will be no room for the bad. A
vacuum is always abhorrent Men do
not ordinarily become enthusiastic on
negatives. They desire the positive
note and the constructive policy.

ELlTCH'S.

George Barr McCutcheon has written
some very interesting fiction, but prob
ably none that teens with SO much strik-
ing incident and humor as "Brewster's
Millions" The play has been seen sew
eral times in Denver and will be gladly
welcomed when it is presented Sunday
night and the coming week by the
Elitch-Long Stock Company at the Gar
dens' Theater. 1t is one of those plays
of which one never grows tired, and
there is just enough of the comedy ele-
ment in it to make it a delightful sum-
mer play. The book was dramatized by
Winchel Smith, the author of that great
New York success, The Fortune Hunt
ers' Everyone remembers the story of
Monty Brewster and the difficulties that
he IS in spending the million dollars,
the spending of which is condition pre-
cedent to the inheriting of his grand
fathers fortune To the average mortal
it seems queer that any difficulties
should be encountered in such an under
taking, but the author certainly works
out a variety. The leading parts WILL
as usual, be taken by Miss Kershaw and
Mr.. Waldron, who have been acquiting
themselves as well during the past week
in "The House of a Thousand Candies"
There are some other strong parts in the
play, which will give an excellent oppor-
tunity to the other strong members of
the Elitch-Long Stock Company.
On Wednesday and on Saturday the
usual matinees of "Brewster's Millions"
will be given. For these matinees the
house is always sold out early, and it
is well to secure seats well in advance
at the Tabor box-office. Tuesday will be
Children's Day again; the Dutch Days
that Mrs. Long has been giving to the
children have been attracting large
crowds, and without doubt the Colonial
Day, which is announced for Tuesday,
will be just as interesting. Prizes will
be given for the best costumes and the
best dancing.
The Glitch Sundays are attracting
bigger crowds each week. There will be
two big games of ball, one in the after
noon and one in the forenoon. In the
evening Satriano will give his band con-
cert in the lobby of the Monitor and
Merrimac building, and during the after
noon Cavallo will give his popular or
chestra concert In July 9th the
Ladies of the Modern Maccabees hold
their annual picnic. The Monitor and
Merrimac is showing each day at 4:30,
and both before and after each matinee
and symphony concert. There are three
performances each evening, and hourly
performances on Sundays and holidays

MRS. WILLIAMSON SPEAKS.

Mrs. Katherine Williamson, state fac
tory inspector, addressed the last meet
ing of the missionary society of the st.
Pauls M. E. church South, and made
the statement that the underpaid and
overworked women factory workers were
a menace to the morals of the commun-
ity. The long hours of labor and con-
tinued employment of certain sets of
muscles, because of new and improved
machinery, she said, are the cause of
physical degeneracy. Mrs. Williamson
urged these women to study the increas-
ing complications of industrial life and
to use their Christian influence by work
ing for the eight-hour standard, to en-
able all who labor to lead better and
happier lives.
Mrs. Williamson is member of Typo
graphical Union No. 40, and being an in
spector in the office of Labor Commits
sioner E. v. Brake, she is one of the
few club women in Denver who are en-,
titled to speak along industrial lines.
Mrs. Williamson is in and out of the diff
ferent factories every day. While she
says the conditions in laundries are not
of the best and in few very bad, she
says the ventilation and conditions in
mercantile establishments are the worst.
Millinery stores are among the places
where corrections need to be made. The
greatest wonder, says Mrs. Williamson,
is why the health commissioner does not
take action in regard to bakeries. She
says some of the bakeshops are in base
ments where a screen for the windows
was never known, and where the house
fy-the kind they are just now discuss
ing in regard to typhoid fever-are not
to be numbered by hundreds, but by
swarms.
Mrs. Williamson is desirous of place
on the Democratic ticket as a candidate
for county commissioner. She is fully
capable to fill such a position and will
most likely be given place on the
ticket. The women and union men will
see she is elected if her name is placed
before them.

1000 TRAINMEN ON STRIKE.

Conductors and trainmen of the Grand
Trunk and Central Vermont railways
obeyed an automatic strike order at 8: 30
o'clock Monday. On Sunday, when the
members of the strike committee left
Buffalo, each carried sealed en-
velope, to be opened at that hour, call
ing a strike unless telegram had pre-
viously been received which upon CON-
parison with a copy inclosed in the en-
velope stated otherwise. No such tele-
gram was sent, and SO the strike be-
came effective.
Under the terms of the strike trains
which began their run before $3.50 are
to be taken through to the terminal by
the men in charge. After that the com
pany is expected to look after its own
interests.
The strike, it is claimed, will tie up
the entire system from Portland, Maine,
to Chicago. The total number of men
affected is $500 trainmen and conduc-
tors on the Grand Trunk and $50 on the
Central Vermont In addition, 5000 men
engaged in work shops will be tempo
rarily laid off. The telegraph operators
will not strike with the trainmen and
conductors, as had been promised.
Word from the conference is that the
wage dispute will be referred to arbitra-
ton with the understanding that both
sides will accept the award.
Nearly 1000 trainmen and conductors
on the Grand Trunk lines west of the
Detroit and st. Clair rivers obeyed the
strike order.
AT Port Huron trains left nearly on
schedule time up to midnight in charge
of crews of strikebreakers. Eight men
armed with rifles were stationed at the
Grand Trunk depot, and every train
crew, it was said, was armed with re-
volvers. There was no attempt to inter
fere with the movement of trains. how
ever. and little trouble is expected.

A BEAUTIFUL GIFT.

George Reese, who has been treas
urer of the Plumbers union in Denver
for IS years, is the recipient of a hand
some watch. The watch is valued at
S120, and is given to Mr.. Reese of the
Plumbers as a reward for his faithful
service to his organization. The works
in the timepiece are valued at $50, and
the case, which is set with a diamond,
is valued at $40. 1t is the product of
NJ. O'Keefe & Co., S27 Fifteenth street,
the fairest jeweler to unions and union
labor in Denver, and it was most fitting
that O'Keefe & Co. should have been
given the work on this beautiful gift to
tireless servant of his organization.
The presentation speech was made by
George A. HALEY, a member of that or
ganization. The response of Mr.. Reese
showed his appreciation.

An explosion Of dynamite took place
at the Standard mine, one and one-half
miles east of Lafayette about 10 o'clock
Friday night. The company has given
out no statement as to the accident. 1t
is believed by some of the union men
that the affair was accidental, and was
caused by the handling of explosives by
unskilled men who have been imported
as strikebreakers. Others are of the
opinion that the mine owners wish it to
appear that the explosion was caused by
strikers, SO that popular sympathy may
be aroused against them. But the men
on strike have kept the peace in such a
way that move Of this kind will only
result as boomerang for the operators.
In another thirty days the operators will
be looking for settlement in order to
stock up for the winter rush.

Alleging that Dennis Gibbons, the con-
tractor who is putting in curbing on Wa
zee street between Eleventh and Four
teenth streets, is employing non-union
labor, the stonecutters' local has pro-
tested to the city engineers office. 1t
claims that Gibbons sublet his contract
to a Denver man named Barker, who is
bringing in non-union men to cut the
stone at the rate of is cents foot. At
this rate, the stonecutters say, man
can only make 50 day, while the union
scale is IS day. The protest to the
city engineer is made on the ground that
there was a provision in the contract
that it should not be sublet. So far no
stone has been laid, and the city en-
gineer says he can take no action until
this is done. The city makes no pro-
vision for the employment of union la
Dor on public work, so that this phase
of the matter will not be considered by
the city engineer.

in the basement of the present build.
ing, giving a floor space of 36x4S
feet for this business alone. A fine
system has been secured, wherein the
brine is made to travel through pipes
in much the same manner as steam.
AT the top of the room the pipes are
covered with ice and salt and the
brine is cooled to a remarkable ex-
tent in this way.
Two electric elevators will be
added to the company's plant to facili-

completed in the course of a month,
if the weather holds COED.
