ceipts from advertising of about $3.50 for
the past month. At the rate the present
set of officers of the League are doing
business the Indebtedness incurred by
former Treasurer Henderson will soon
be paid of, and the League and the Bu.-

be handicapped by a debt hanging over
the League, and will then proceed to use
the money their efforts are bringing in

United Labor Bulletin on a financial
footing that will give it a standing in
Denver such as no labor paper has ever
had. There is no reason wny union la
