woMAN's LABEL LEAGUE.
Trades Assembly Will Take up the
Proposition.

The following communication was re-
ceived by the Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, and was referred to the organization
committee. The letter is from Annie
Fitzgerald of Chicago. president OF the
Woman's International Union Label
League, and advocates the organizing OF
the wives and daughters of the union
men of Denver into Union Label
League. The communication follows:
To the Ofhcers and Members OF organ
lied Labor.
Greeting:-I beg leave to again call
your attention to the Woman's lnterna-
tional Union Label League and Trades
Union Auxiliary.
It does not require extended argument
to show the need for a greater demand
for union labeled commodities. The an
tagonism and the various methods used
by the enemies of organized labor to dis
credit and discourage the demand for
the union label should in itself be OF SUI
fcient incentive to induce more earnest
effort to educate ourselves, our famii1es
and friends, in the true value of the label
to the workers.
Now then, how are we going to DO
this? Who spends the money? 1t Is
estimated that from 70 to so per cent OF
the money received by the wage workers
is spent by women. Hence it seems not
only advisable but absolutely necessary
that the women be organized and edu-
Gated to use their purchasing power IN
building and strengthening trades union
ism by their persistent demand for the
union label.
The Woman's international Union La
bel League has undertaken this work OF
educating and organizing this army OF
women. with considerable success. And
have demonstrated to the satisfaction oil
those familiar with its work and achieve
ments what can be done. Through the
organization of the women who spend
your money into Label Leagues aftili-
ated with our international. Our organ
ization has the endorsement and com-
mendation of the American Federation
and the Label Trades department, and
now appeals to your honorable Dooy' nol
alone for your endorsement, but your
active cooperation. Our organization Is
not in a financial position to keep organ
izers in the field, and therefore must rely
to a considerable extent on the assist
ance of central labor unions and organ
izers for the American Federation OF La
bor. and l ask that you give this matter
the consideration it deserves.
Organize the women OF your city, the
women who spend your money that you
may know money earned under union
conditions is not spent for nonunion
goods
The organization of women who spend
the money is second in Importance only
to the great trade union movement ltseiI.
And / earnestly request that this mat
ter he referred to the proper persons, or
committee and an effort be made to or
xanize a local of the Woman's lnterna
tional Union Label League in your city.
Trusting that 1 may hear from you In
the very near future, l am with best
wishes. Fraternally,

ed with real estate values, having grown
up with and lived in the city nearly all
his life. He is a contractor with Offices
in the McPhee building and is a large
employer of labor. He does construction
work-such as irrigating bitches, reser-
voirs and other large projects-that ne
cessitate the employment of hundreds of
men, mostly unskilled labor.
Mr.. Allen is one of those genial, well
educated and wholesome young men in
the prime of life whom it is more than a
pleasure to meet. He is broad-minded,
self-reliant and sees more in life than
the boarding of money and the robbing
of the poor. In conversation with the
writer he illustrated why the employ
ment of cheap foreign labor is not the
most profitable. Mr.. Allen does con-
: struction work over the entire United
States. He compared workmen on a con-
tract at Johnstown, Pa, to workmen on
a reservoir in Wyoming He said that in
Pennsylvania he paid the foreign labor
the customary wage for the district,
while in Wyoming he paid just three
times as much to American labor that
was well housed and well fed; but he
said, Il got just three times as much
bor and the work was more satisfactory
to the company"
When questioned further along the
lines that laboring men are endeavoring
to make progress, he replied that he was
in hearty sympathy with an employers
liability law. and believes that such a law
| should be put on the statute books OF
| the state of Colorado. He said that in
his travels and connection with large
| projects he had seen SO many men in
jured-permanently or mortally-that he
believed the government should assert
itself and devise means by which the
dependents of those who are manned
while employed can be taken care of and
not thrown upon the charity of an un-
sympathetic public.
| On Nov. Mr.. Allen will seek election
as assessor on the Reform ticket that is
opposing the so-called machines of the
old parties. If elected. he can be de-
pended upon to do his duty to the citi-
zens and county Of Denver. After meet
ing and talking with Mr.. Allen it gives
us pleasure to advocate his candidacy
through these columns.

The popular prejudice against cor

their monopolizing q certain line OF
industry, and extorting undue profits
from the pnblic. Such appreheusions
have been encouraged by instances of
oppressive corporate methods, but
these have been exceptions to the rule
that generally applies to the business
of such organic ations. Enterprises
that could not be attempted by the in'

by an association of individuals, and

General viscount Kitchener Of Khar-
tum, who was in Chicago for an hour
and a half the other day on his way
to New York, surrendered gracefully
to a surprise attack by a reporter,
who boarded the train on the out
skirts Of the city. Lord Kitchener
asked and answered questions with
good humor. OF militarism he spoke
guardedly, saying:
Zone must be careful when a thought
less word might be wrongfully taken
to mean something n did not intend
It to mean. As to Canada's military
future, l haven't visited Canada. I
see no aggressiveness In the future, so
far as Canada is concerned. The little
navy they are building up there is
only that they may sleep a little easier
O. nights. One rests better with a
bobby walking around the square.

peace should not continue from this

ever, when something will stir up
trouble, and war does not often an.
nounce itself far in advance. It al

"Is that nm expression Of England's
military policyT" Lord Kitchener was
asked.
WELL" he replied, Il shouldn't put
1t that broadly. England Is at peace
with all the world, but our surest safe
guard of peace is always to be ready.
Until such time as some international
agreement is reached, II such there be,
England will, by being ready at all
times. lend that influence toward
peace"
Asked what he considered the chief
factor tending to international peace,
the general replied:
FOOD. think food is one Of the
first. The Panama canal has come
into the list now as a new factor also.
The nation whose food supply is
cramped Is restless and irritable. 1t
wants to expand. 1t wants what the
other fellow has. 1t was a comfort to
my heart as a peace loving man to see
broad acres Of food producing land in
this country and to hear that Canada
could duplicate them. The Panama
canal was the best move America ever
made"
Lord Kitchener characterized the po-
litical aspect of the Pacific ocean as q
hard question to discuss.

would bring forth for the Pacific" he
said. ut is gratifying to us that the
canal is being built at Panama, for
that helps to simplify matters.

the future is that the navy must be

Tense or offense the navy must take

ACCUSED OF INcENDIARlsN'

Governor Mann yesterday refused a
pardon to James w. NJ. Bailey. the
Augusta county train wrecker. who is
serving an eighteen-year term in the
State Penitentiary. Bailey has served
seven years.
The petition for clemenncy was based
on the statement that Bailey was only
sixteen years old at the time of the
offense: that he is weak minded. and
that his health is bad. His friends
said that he had been led into the
crime by others.
Resistance to the pardon, was made
by representatives of the Virginia rail-
roads, through Chief of Detectives L.
L. Scherer. of the Chesapeake and
Ohio. and Chief Detective w. G. Bald
win, of the Norfolk and Western. They
sen; to the Governor a copy Of Bailey's
confession. in which he admitted hay-
ing conspired to hurl passenger train
from the track.
For this crime John Kennedy was
sentenced to die. bur escaped jail a
few days before the date for the execu-
ton. Bailey's mother was recently re-
leased on parole.
The Governor also refused mercy to
Gilbert Lonas. who is serving a term
of Two years for seduction. from Shen-
andoah county. Seven Of the jurors
asked the Governor to release Lonas,
saying they understood his health was
bad, and that corroborative evidence
as to the crime was rather lacking.
He began to serve his sentence in June,
