ing Trades Department of the American
Federation of Labor came to Denver sew
eral months ago and investigated the
situation and said in his report on the
situation that he was not sufficiently in
POLITICALLY and otherwise) to make a
detailed report, but said that the Build
ing Trades Council must first live up to
the laws of the A. F. of l.. before an ad-
justment could be made.
A copy of the report was placed in the
hands of the writer yesterday, and it
said that no international union could
be represented in a local council of the
building trades by moTe than the quota
of delegates sufficient to represent the
aggregate of all locals of said interna-
tional union. That is, if there is a local
with 80 members afi1liated in the council,
and there is a helpers union in that
trade of 10 members, then the aggregate
of 65 are allowed representation and
not representation from two locals,
which would make a great difference in
the number of delegates to the council
The report says that the Drainlayers
are not entitled to representation in the
council but should be represented
through the Building Laborers.
The Plumbers. Steanftters and Steam
filters Helpers are not entitled to repre-
sentation as three Organizations, it Is
said but should be represented accord
ing to their aggregate membership.
President John C. Barrett OF the Build
ing Trades Council says that where there
is not a district council the locals are

The situation in Denver was one of the
subjects that occupied much of the time
of the executive council of the Building
Trades Department in discussing it as
well as trying to find solution as to how
the situation could be cleared up. A mo-
ton prevailed which follows: That the
secretary of the department be instructed
to communicate with the international
unions whose locals are not affiliated with
the Denver Building Trades Council. re-
questing that an officer be sent to Denver.
July 10th, to compel the respective locals
to affiliate and that President Kirby be
instructed to represent the department in
Denver and any such conference that may
be held and to participate in the confer
ence.
A representative of nearly every organ
ization thai is outside Of the council is in
the city or is expected within few hours
to take part in the conference that is to be
held in regard to the reaAiliation with the
Building Trades Council. The local
Lathers' union. after eonferring with their
International president. William ]. Nc
Sorley. who is in the city. have voted to
reaffiliate with the Building Trades Coun-
ell. The trouble will be Strengthened out
in few days and greater council than
ever before will result.
president Kirby is expected in the city
at any time to bring the difficulties in
the building trades Of Denver to head.

III subsidiary companies with a com
bined capitalization of 1928, S,3O1 ,409.
We're the real market value of this
combined capitalization given, it would
exceed three-quarters of a billion dol
lars. 1t is well known that in addition
to the above, mining, railway, franchise,
land, banking, transmission and manu-
featuring corporations are owned or con-
trolled either by the Standard Oil Com
pany or its chief stockholders. These
equal many times the value of the
Standard Oil Company itself.
When one thinks of the vast army of
men employed by the Standard Oil Com
pany, by the United States Steel Cor
poration. by the great mining and rail-
road companies, there must come real.
ization of the tremendous power of these
corporations over the lives and destinies
of men. women and children. 1t is true
that the corporation does not usually
Systematically set itself out to destroy
the liberty of the individual workingman
nor to take away his chances of making
living, but frequently by the manipula-
ton of the markets on the part of un-
scrupulous stockholders, these things
actually happen.
This concentration of power must lead
to the close organization of workers, fol
only as the workingmen themselves or
ganize will they be in a position to pre-
sent united front against the unjust
conditions which may be imposed upon
them.
