nod is represented by the Reys. Bon
ner, Bailey and Forbes. They uphold
the licensing of the students.
DR.. Buchanan contended that the

they have no Bible and that their
minds may have been twisted by the
teaching Of high Bible philosophy"

THE ROCK DRILL
AGAIN STRUCK
Machinists Call Men From
Shop a Second Time--
Agreement Broken.
MEN ONTHE PICKET LINE

The Denver Rock. Drill and Machinery
company has again {been struck by Den
yer lodge No. AZ ofsthe International AS
sociation of Machfnlsts The men were
called out at ~ O'CLOCK Saturday. Nov 5,
and it is now a fght tc. the finish be-
tween the national Organization and the
Rock Drill company.
This is the second strike in the shop
of the Rock Drill company in the last
four months The shop was first struck
on July q because she company insisted
on putting unskilled men on work over
which the local union claimed jurisdic-
ton for journeym@ machinists After
being out for two fmonths, the men re-
turned to work on Sept. %, after a YER
bal agreement had been reached between
the company and svice-President ]. D.
Buckalew of the International organiza-
tion.
Several non-union men were in the
shop when the men returned, and it was
agreed that the company would let the
incompetent men in their employ go and
replace them by journe men machinists;
and it was further agreed that union
men would not be Disseminated against
by the company
This the company failed to do. The
most incompetent fnen to be had were
retained and journeyrnen machinists
were placed as Instructors over them.
The company did not consider man in
competent when he would agree to work
| at a low wage.
Work that had been spoiled by the un-
skilled men during the first strike was
blamed on the skilled mechanics when
they had worked few days in the shop
after their return.
Union journeymen machinists were
told to run two nschines when one is
considered by the organization to be the
work of one man When they refused
they were DISCHARGED. and the non-union
men who had been working as appren-
tees under the journeymen were placed
in their places and given two machines
TO operate.
Indignities greater than self-respecting
men could bear we're thrust upon the
returning union men by the company
representatives after they had instructed
the former strikebreake-s. and the men
took the matter to the local union and
the grand lodge ordered the men with
drawn from the shop.

Operators Take rloney of Miners for Treat
ment, Then Send Them to Free Institution

( ploying him 81 out of his pay each
month. This was supposed to go to the
maintenance of fund to give the min
ers medical assistance in case of acci-
dent or sickness. He says that when he
got hurt by caye-in In the mine, the
company officials shipped him to Denver
and placed him in the county hospital
here, paying no further attention TO him.
The hospital Superintendent says he has
been unable to get any settlement from
the mining concern for Lakes board and
treatment This state of affairs started
an investigation.
For the last three months many people
have been coming to the county hospital
here for treatment. although they admit
ted they were not residents of Denver.
1t was found that most of these people
had been sent here from the coal camps
in the northern part of the state-at La
fayette, Louisville, Erie, Superior. Mar
shall and Dacoma.
The hospital superintcndent has found
that many more persons actually gained
admittance to the institution by giving
fictitious Denver addresses and claiming
to be regular residents.
Among the people applying for treat
ment here were tAe wives of miners, as
well as the miners themselves. In some
cases these patients were in such seri-
Gus condition that to refuse them care
even though hey were from other
counties-was oct of the question In
mediate attention mad to be given them.
At other times they were sent back to
their homes or to the county seat of the
section from which they came.
1t has been found. according to all ac-
counts, that the coal mining corporations
paid the railroad ares oil these people to
Denver. Beyond this they generally came
without money. When they were refused
admission to the hospital here. or had
been cared for and released. Denver
county was put to the expense of feeding
them. and paying their way back home.
And this while the corporations were col
lecting money each month for medical
service they had greed to render.
September sS Mrs. p. Dashkas. wife of
a coal miner at lafayette. came to the
Denver county hospital She was about
to become mother and needed care
She said that the mining company for
which her husband worked had paid her
way here. But she had no money. AS
her case demanded no immediate atten-
tion the authorities paid her way to

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
AFTER settlement
President Barry and Other Members Ar
rive Tuesday.

1t has just been learned in Denver
that the Joint Conference Board of the
different International Unions of the
printing trades, which was in session in
Buffalo last week, agreed that the open
shop would not be tolerated in any de-
partment of any newspaper in the city
of Denver. The different locals in this
city sent urgent appeals to the Buffalo
conference asking each of the interna-
tionals to lend their every effort to the
striking Web pressmen in Denver and
endeavor to prevent the open shop in
the pressrooms and possibly in all other
departments of the newspapers.
The board has taken heed of the ap-
peals, and have declared that the open
shop shall not maintain in Denver The
different internationals have not advised
! the different locals to prepare for any
strike, but on the contrary have told
them to live up to their present agree
ments with the publishers This is be-
ing done; but in the meantime the inter-
nationals are holding themselves in
readiness to assist the pressmen when
they are asked to do SO by the interna-
tional pressmen's executive council.
George L. Berry, Peter Dobbs, Charles
B. Crowley and Michae. H Flannery of
the executive council OF the Interna-
tional Printing Pressmen's and Assist
ants union are in Denver They arrived
Tuesday afternoon and Immediately
went into conference with the executive
committee of Web Pressmen's Union No
% and with the committee named by the
Allied Trades Council to take up the
matter with the pressmen and endeavor
to get just settlement of the differ
ences. The committee met at the rooms
of the Typographical union, Bank block,
and listened to the report of the Allied
Trades Council committee and to a re-
port from the executive committee of
No %, and then went into executive ses-
sion to consider the situation in detail.
1t was decided at that meeting that
they would meet again Wednesday after
noon to outline basis of settlement be-
tween the publishers and the pressmen.
1t was agreed at the meeting Wednes-
day that basis of settlement should be
outlined that would be fair to both the
publishers and the pressmen.
n. H. Kellog of the national publish
ers' association is also in Denver, and is
advising with the publishers
The pressmen's committee met the
publishers Wednesday and conferred at
length, and at that time it was agreed
to meet again today and confer in regard
to a settlement.
At the time of going to press no settle
ment had been reached but it is believed
an agreement will be arrived at this
week.
United labor bulletin., 1910-11-10

The Bulletin desires in this article to
show how the rich men OF Denver who
operate the coal mines in the northern
Colorado coal fields are treating their
strikebreakers whom they imported from
different sections of the United States
to take the places of the men who are
on strike for raise of cents ton.
The poor foreigners who took the
places of the strikers are being treated
in a way that should rouse the ire Of any
self-respecting American. After paying
the company 81 a month for hospital
services they are sent tc Denver to the
county hospital and are totally disowned
by the companies employing them.
ties have brought to light IL new cases
of patients who were sent here by coal
mining corporations in other counties to
be cared for at the expense of Denver.
For the treatment of these people this
county received not one cent. But the
patients themselves were paying to the
corporations a stipulated sum every
month for service tha. was not being
given.
Since the case of Edward Lake be-
came known Friday. William A Sheriff.
superintendent of the hospital. has been
making an Investigation of this practice
on the part of the mining companies in
the northern part of the state. The man.
ayers OF the concerns involved deny that
they have done anything of the sort. But
the patients themselves refute these de-
malls.
Just wnat course the city and county
OF Denver will take to reimburse itself
for the loss sustained through this prac-
tice has not yet been determined. 1t is
stated that It will be difficult to take sat
isfactory action. as in most cases 1t can
not be proven what companies sent the
men here.
This matter was brought to light FRI
day through the action OF Edward Lake
in filing suit for $4,000 damages
against the Northern Coal 4 Coke Co.
Lake was injured in one OF that COM
pany's mines at Louisville on Oct 16
last. He is still in the county hospital
here
The young man asserted that. in COM
mon with all other coal miners, he was
obliged to surrender to the company en-
