INDUSTRIAL. yN,oNlsM.
The Pressmen's Strike Costly Demon
stration Of Its Non-Existence.
(By ]. w. White, president of the Trades
and Labor Assembly,


(By j. w. White, president of the Trades
and Labor Assembly,
So much has been said against indus
trial organization and SO. little in favor
of it that it seems high ltime the atten-
ton of our membership was called to
our weakness in spite Of our great and
we'll organized CRAFT bodies.
Let.jus for example take the case OF
the Web Pressmen, now out in Denver:
Here.we are iall -calIing ourselves union
fmen, knowing that we are union men,
yet by and through, our plan of organiza-
ton forced to work side by side eswith, the
most .despised of all men,. the .scab.Y 7
Why? NOT willingly. We would not
work one minute with a non-union. man
in our department, let alone a 'scab."
Still, through our foolishly weak plan of
organization do we submit perforce to
this other outrage.
There is a solution to this problem,
but it will require time to work it out;
nevertheless, now is the time to begin
When you find weak spot in your de
fense, strengthen it at once.
My plan to remedy this weakness, in
the printing trades at least. is to form
one grand organization of all the differ
ent trades in the printing industry, each
man a member with equal rights, uni
form scale and known as one craft The
question of dividing the work can be
classified, for the present. just as it Is

it was decided to visit the property at
Frederick, Colo, which the company pro-
poses to buy.
Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Johnson, being un-
able to get away from their work, Presi-
dent White was advised of the same,
and after due consideration, decided to
act himself as one of the committee. and
also invited Mr.. McLennon, president of
the State Federation. to act as the third
member. he being practical miner.
On Friday, Nov. oath, McLennon,
White and Edwards, your committee, to-
gether with R. A. Duncan and D. Cash
more, two of the company's officers, wis.,
tied the property, and spent several hours
making a careful investigation of the
same, and found it to be just as repre-
sented by the company, whose report we
submit as part of this report.
We conversed with several of the min
ers on strike, who formerly worked in
this property, and from all we could
learn, the mine is one of the best in the
district
On our return to Denver we went
again to the company's office and care
fully read their articles of Incorporation
and bylaws, also submitted them to At
toruey Cohen, who advised that they
were properly drawn up, and that no
stockhloder would be liable for more
than the value of his stock.
Therefore, in view of the foregoing
we your committee recommend that this
body endorse and lend its support to this
company.
United labor bulletin., 1910-12-01

organized labor should get into politics.
Organized labor has spent years forcing
capitalists to pay fair wages; it is now
time that labor got into business as well
as into politics and become employer
and then fair wages may be paid without
strife
II the printing trades published the
papers a different story would be told in
Denver today.
If the Building Trades Council did the
contracting. different condition would
prevail in Denver.
When the union men of the state of
Colorado become coal operators, and
when the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea come to see the absolute necessity
of their thousands of members owning
disastrous strikes as is being waged in
Colorado be at an end.
AT this writing there are but three
union coal mines in the state. all being
conducted by the Farmers union. which
organization is now promoting another
along the cooperative line at Erie, Colo.
and with offices at 40 Quincy building.
The company which the assembly en-
dorsed at the meeting Sunday is at s29
Cooper building. They made their for
NAL announcement In the Thanksgiving
issue OF The Bulletin. published Nov. II.
The. company. when the stock is sold
and the mine taken over on which the
option is held, viii operate with union

the purchase of stock in the company:
Denver Colo. Nov. 26, 1910
The Denver Trades and Labor Assembly:
We. your committee. appointed to In
vestigate the Consumers Fuel and Mer-
chandise Co.. beg to submit the follow
ing report:
On Monday night. Nov. 14th. we met
the board Of directors OF the above COM
pany at their Office. and went over the
details Of the proposition as far as It had
progressed at that time. and found that
the object of said company was to fur
nish coal. mined By union miners. at
price not to exceed $4.0o per ton. to
members OF the company. The company
Is incorporated for 100000 and the
shares will be sold for e1.o0 each. Not
less than five shares. nor more than 1000
to be sold to an Individual No money
subscribed for shares will be used for
any purpose other than the purchase and
operation OF the property. and In case
the purchase is not made. the money will
be returned to each subscriber in full.

UNION Men TO
!. OPERATE Mine
Consumers Fuol and Merchandise
Company Endorsed By Trades
Assembly.

The Denver Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, endorsed the Proposition submitted
by the Consumers' Fuel and Merchandise
company at the meeting two weeks pre-
yious, and recommended the purchasing
of stock in the same to every union man
in the state Of Colorado.
The proposition is a cooperative coal
mine, to be operated under the above
name and to sell coal to stockholders
only at 81 per ton-which is 81 ton
cheaper than coHd is selling in Denver
at the present time The promoters Of
this scheme have an option on mine
at Frederick, Colo. and it is proposed
to purchase this mine by the sale of
stock in the COMPANY to union men in
the state of Colorado, and others; but
| 600 shares will be sold to an individ-
ual, which are worth 81 each. No one
can purchase less than five shares.
The promotion of this scheme is some
thing along the line that organized labor
should have been doing business years
ago. The cry has been for years that

Gil of eight vice-presidents, were re-

in the different departments a man
would show up for work at that which
he is qualified until We could all gradu.
ally expand.
This is done now to a great extent in
each department at the present time.
There are many printers, and good
ones. too, who can run a machine. but
cannot set ads. and vice versa
This view Of the situation may seem
absurd to a great many people, but the
conclusion is reached after years OF con-
sideration and actual experience in the
labor movement.
Just so long as the employer can keep
us apart, just so long will We be the
puppets of their whims.
The printing trades all in one union
subject to one strike order could tie up
the wheels of industry in the whole
world, but my contention is that the
more thorough and compact our organ
ization. the less chance of a strike or
lockout.

servatives few years ago, are now adj
mitting that the time is arriving when
labor must engage in politics through
party of its own
For instance, the longshoremen. who
for many years were presided over by
Daniel j. Keefe, who was appointed
United States labor commissioner by
Taft, have just voted in favor Of starting
an independent labor party, the propoa1-
ton being carried in 375 out of total Of
AL local unions. The miners are also
strong for political action, as are many
of the building and miscellaneous trades
and many of the union officials hope to
accomplish politically what they ind It
difficult to do industrially enforce the
right to organize, to gain better wages,
shorter hours and other conditions"
We of Colorado have a part to play In
the political movement that should be
taken up by the representatives Of the
laboring class and thoroughly discussed
Delay only means delay in the time when
the final victory will be recorded. Do
not let those who are in the labor move
ment but hold political ONCE dissuade

ends The time to start is now.

AFrlLIATIoN OF MINERS.

1t is believed that the Western FEEDER
alton OF Miners will shortly receive a
charter afiliation with the American
Federation OF Labor.
James o'connell. president of the In
ternational Association OF Machinists.
was overruled on the point of order
which he made.
The point OF order made by o'Connell
to obstruct further consideration OF as
slmilating the Western Federation OF
Miners, referred TO a constitutional re-
quirement made by the convention OF
1900 which provided that every union
making application TO the national body
for afiiliation should clearly define its
Jurisdiction.
In overruling the motion of order,
Gompers referred to the proceedings OF
the 1901 convention. where a committee
was appointed to more clearly define the
federation's policy upon a similar ques-
ton.
The committees report was that 1t
was impossible to define the exact line
OF demarcation where one trade or form
OF labor begins and another ends; also
that no hard and fast rule could be de-
vised on which any trade union could be
governed.
Gompers asked that forbearance and
federation be used. He believed. as a
general proposition. that the best inter
ests of the organization would be served
by taking care of the Jurisdiction lines
as they arose with the evolutions Of In
dustries.
THE chair holds that II is for the con-
vention to determine the Limitation of
the charter to be issued" he declared.
O'Connell appealed from Gompers' de-
cision, but his appeal was not supported
by the convention.
The relations OF the engineers. fire.
men and others with the Brewery Work
ers and the United Mine Workers of
America were cited by Gompers against
the craft claims of O'Connell.
Delegate Furuseth asked the conven-
ton to leave the question OF the West
ern Miners charter to the executive
council to decide.
BY small majority OF the number OF
votes cast. the entire subject matter was
finally referred to the executive council.

Indebtedness that the Federation will be

realizing that considerable money should
be in the treasury to meet the expenses
of the lobbying committee in trying to
secure the enactment of labor bills at
the coming regular session Of the legis-
lature. said bills having received the en-
dorsement of this meeting; and further
realizing that to increase the per capita
tax or the levying of an assessment
would be unwise at this time. SO many
affiliated unions being on strike; in view
of these facts, We recommend, that a
voluntary contribution of ten (10) cents
per member be asked for from the afili-
ated unions that are not now on strike.

wise at this time to raise the salaries of

Wherever possible, where pasted Ia
