B. T. COUNCIL
Is SHAPING UP
Two New District Councils Formed
AmaIgamated To Go In District coun.
Gil Of Experimentation Affiliate
GIassworkers Expelled.

The Building Trades Council is fast
taking on form for its new life. Follow
ing the agreement entered into and pub
lished in Tho Bulletin last week. the
Building Trades Council held their reg
ular meeting last Friday night and di-
rected the Plumbers, Steamfitters and
Steamfitters' Helpers to form a district
council and affiliate with the Building
Trades Council through the district
council. This will cut the representation
of these organizations from eight votes
to three.
The four local unions of the Painters
were directed to also form district
council and affiliate through that council.
These organizations have a large num-
ber of members and their representation
will not be reduced in the central body.
The Drainlayers have been directed to
affiliate through the Building Laborers.
Tie Glassworkers mot affiliated with
the A. F. of Is.) were told to withdraw
until such time as they become affiliated
with the American Federation OF Labor
and desire to make a new application.
The Lathers Joined the Building
Trades Council last Friday night and the
Electrical Workers made application.
The Plasterers' union is obstinate
about reafBliatlng with the Building
Trades Council. but they must take this
step before Sept. l6. when they and all
other organizations must affiliate OF lose
their charter.
The Amalgamated Carpenters will af-
nllaia with the central body through the
district council OF carpenters. Il is be-
lieved they will receive representation
according to their numerical strength.
although some argue that they should
have equal representation with the
Brotherhood Carpenters. which would
not be a sound adjustment of the car
penter difficulty.
A special election of officers in the
Building Trades Council will probably
take place following the return of the
locals which seeded from the council
nearly two years ago.
Those who have read the agreement
signed by the officers of the many inter-
national unions. as printed in The Bull
letin last week. must agree that II is an
impartial document showing great
strength. foresight and insight, and II en-
forced by strong executive will give
the Building Trades Council that
strength and stability that has been lack
ing for past months.
The signing OF this agreement is yirtu-
ally reorganization of the Building
Trades Council and the council cannot
help but take on new life under this
healthy cultivation. Everyone should
boost to make the Denver Building
Trades Council the cieanest and most
progressive in the country, and there is
no reason why 1t should not be.

Since Secretary OF State Pearce looked
into the conditions in the northern fields
and reported that everything is as serene
as a summer day. the governor is deter
mined to terminate this persecution OF
the coal miners on the parc of the coal
mine owners. Laboring men can depend
on II that this combination-Shafrot
Pearce and Brake-win keep the militia
out OF the coal fields and force the oper-
ators to arbitrate with the men.

POLICE ON SYMPATHY STRIKE.
Refuse To Protect Thugs Who Shoot
Down Women and Children.

The refusal of the police of Columbus.
Ohio. to act as assistant strikebreakers
is without parallel in the annals of Amer
lean municipalities. over half-a-hundred
blue coats are rejecting the public senti-
ment against the Columbus Light and
Railway company to point where Mayor
Marshalls orders to the officers to man
the cars have been openly defied. The
Chamber of Commerce has become hys-
terical over the crisis and is demanding
the immediate recall of the troops.
Three more women have been added
to the list of those fired upon by the
oompany's imported strikebreakers, Mrs.
Catherine Kelly, shot in the knee; her
little daughter. Helen, shot through the
right shoulder. and Mrs. Charles Hart,
who was struck by a bullet in her right

Pearce to take steps. through Deputy
Labor Commissioner Brake, looking to
arbitration of the differences between the
United Mine Workers of America and
the coal operators in the northern Colo

PEARCE and BRAKE
GO TO COAL FIELDS
Accompanied BY Eli M. Gross, These
State Officials Investigate the Alleged
Need of Troops In the Lafayette Dis
trict.

Last week The Bulletin said that it be-
lieved Governor Shafroth would send
Deputy Labor Commissioner Brake to
the coal field to investigate the condi-
tions there and then act on the recon-
mendations of that official He has done
that and gone farther. He sent Secre-
tary of State James B. Pearce, mem

that made such a record for himself in
the Cameo mine investigation and who
delivered such a scathing rebuke tc

State Federation of Labor at Crane

swayed to tears.
These able and fearless state officials
went to the coal fields of northern Colo
rado Friday last and made a thorough
Investigation of the situation in the en-
tire coal field. Every mine that is af
fected by the strike was visited by Mr.
Pearce and his deputies. and they also
interviewed bushes men of the diefrent

Louisville? You might as well call out
troops TO keep order in Denver" said
Secretary of State Pearce.
There were some rumors of disor
der" said Secretary Pearce, but wher
, Investigated, they all came to nothing
Conditions there are amazing. The strike
has been going on since last April. bu
in all that time there have been only {
half dozen fist fights.
The chief disorder seems to have
been among the children. Some of ths
operators say that the youngsters shou
'scab herder' when they appear ON the
street with their families. That seem.
to be the only open defiance of law ant
order.
Otherwise this mining town is a.
peaceful as country village on Sunday
1 expected to find some slight disorder
but l will say frankly that 1 am amazed
at the excellent order which is pre-
served"
The only shooting scrape which hai
occurred. Secretary Pearce stated, was
when Town Marshal Cassidy OF Lafayette
shot mine guard who was resisting
arrest. The other serious disturbance
when a mine guard named Boykin wai
beaten and. as he claims. robbed a
Louisville. was probably precipitated b,
Boykin himself. The men whom Boykii
accuses are under arrest and will b,
punished if found guilty.

A UNION MAN COMPLAINS.
Denver, Colo. Aug. 70

Denver, Colo, Aug. u.
Hugh O'Neill, The Denver Times:
Sir-In a recent issue Of The Times
(Which, by the way is beyond doubt the
best and cleanest paper in our city today
since it changed hands, noticed in one
of the news items where resolutions had
been introduced and passed condemning
Auditor Kenehan because he did not do
something that was beyond his power,
and lauding Mr.. BRAKE for the few things
he has done. l am personally acquainted
with both of the above gentlemen, and
wish to protest to the rank and file of
organized labor. through the columns of
your paper, against such unseemly ac-
ton on the part OF the State Federation
of Labor.
Mr.. Kenehan has been member of or
ganized labor for the last twenty years
or more, using at all times his best eff
forts to assist his fellow workmen, with
the result that a few men who style
themselves labor leaders, some of whom
no doubt rode on pass to and from
Grand Junction, condemn him for things
that are beyond his power.
Mr.. Brake has not carried. nor do be-
lieve has seen. what a union card looks
like for the same length of time. Dur
ing the most of this time we find him
acting as the sole political scavenger of
organized labor, wise enough to give en-
ployment whenever the opportunity pre-
sented itself to few pliable tools and
shrewd enough to have it appear that he,
and he alone, was Instrumental in hav-
ing the factory inspection law placed on

wish to be fair. however; therefore.
would like to state that I believe that
Mr. Brake has without doubt made the
best deputy labor commissioner Colorado
has ever had, from workinemsn's point
of view. But when he stoops to use his
hirelings to attack a better union man
than he ever dreamed of being, it will
not be long until the rank and file of or

BIG WAGE ADVANCES.

At a special meeting Sunday the Typo
graphical union adopted the proposition
submitted to the job branch scale COM
mittee. The proposition was: To raise
the scale from $22 to $25 per week, to
take effect Sept. 1, 1910; to advance the
scale to $3.50 on Sept. 1. 1911, $26 on
Sept 1, 1912; s26.50 on Sept 1, 1913,
and to $27 Sept. 1, 1914, the scale then
to run until opened by either party to
the agreement.
Although the Bindery Women gave no
tice of a demand for an increase after
the time limit, the proprietors granted
them a raise of 20 per cent. increasing
their minimum scale from $40 to $12.
The Bookbinders' organization was re-
ceiving $3.50 for cutters and $40 for
bookbinders, and all have been advanced
to s22, to take effect Sept. 1. The scale
is to advance to $23 Sept. 1. 1911. and
to s24 Sept. 1, 1912.
The printing organizations are to be
commended for the great success they
have had in getting these large increases
without any friction.
Pressmens' unions Nos. 1 and 40 have
scales still pending. No. l union is rest
ing on its oars, but No. 40 is showing
that fighting spirit that is bound to bring
results in the near future. 1t is not
likely that there will be any trouble. al
though a great many No. 40 men want
to force the issue.

cured by arbitration for the newspaper

HOUSE PLANTS IN WINTER.
How to Make Them Thrive by Observ-
ing Simple Rules.

How to Make Them Thrive by Observ-
ing Simple Rules.
The best exposure for house plants
in the winter is, as general thing, a
southern one. The next best is an
eastern one. Some plants can be
grown in western windows. but they
never do as well rs in the other expo
sures, chiefly because Of the intense
heat of the afternoon sun. If care is
taken. however. to shade the glass
during the hottest part of the day it
is possible to grow plants well under
these conditions.
A few plants do well in a north win
dow. The lack of sunshine prevents
the production of flowers. But many
foliage plants thrive They require
much less water because evaporation,
due to absense of sunshine, takes place
in such a location more slowly. Give
keep the soil moist. More will cause
a souring of the SOIL a condition sell
dom met with when plants are fully
exposed TO sunshine. In northern
location the soil around the roots
should be turned over at least once 4
week to allow the sun to reach it and,
as it were, purify it. Some plants, like
the geraniums and carnations, can
hardly get too much sunshine.
Another thing plants require is ven
tilation. A florist always has the fin
est system of ventilation in his houses.
OF course it is hard to get things down
to such fine points in a private house,
but we can. by raising and lowering
windows, frequently change the at
mosphere to all life.
Another matter of Importance in
plant growing is watering. Showering
is almost as necessary as root water
ing. The leaves of the plant are COW
cred with pores, and the plant breathes
through them. If these pores become
clogged with dust and dirt the plant
surely suffers. Showering. therefore,
removes the dirt from the pores and,
generally speaking, insures n healthy
plant. Where plant fails to get this
moisture the leaves turn yellow and
fall off, and the plant takes on sickly
appearance.
In the house during the winter 1t is
a great benefit to plants to keep water
evaporating 0n stoves, register or ra-
diators in rooms where artificial heat is
used. While sweeping or busting the
room indoors or the piazza outdoors it
is we'll to cover plants with a light
thin cloth. Another thing to remember
is to remove all dying leaves as soon
as they turn yellow; also cut off all
flowers as soon as they commence to
fade and never throw them down
among the plants to decay. If plant
shows a tendency to grow tall and
branchless cut it back at least one
