eARrENpeRs' SOCIAL.
The Mixers Entertain Their Friends In
Beneficial Way.

The local Bartepders' union repeated
the entertainment given a few weeks
ago at their hall at the Eagles club
where they met Sunday morning at 10
O'Clock in regular session. That the
say the least.
Several new members were taken into
the organization, and half dozen new
applications were received.
After the regular business was trans
acted, speechmaking was indulged in
and those present we're given the oppor'
tunity of listening to some of the bes!
speakers in the labor movement. On &C
count of the convention of the Western
Federation of Miners those present were
given a chance to hear some of the
heavyweights of the Federation. ]. P
Madigan of Great Falls, Mont; ]. D
O'Neil of Butte, Mont, and James C.
Adamson of Eureka, Utah, were guests
of the Bartenders and gave short talks
that were enlightening and entertaining
Other speakers were Dick Croskey
superintendent of the Colorado Free EN-
ployment Bureau; Albert Parish, bust
ness agent for Cooks union, and David
Lynch, business agent for the Bartend
ers, and the man most responsible fol-
the great progress now being made by
the Bartenders, and for those delightful
entertainments of this organization.
All kinds of Refreshments were served
and all were glad that they were present

SAYS ALLEN SOUGHT REVENGE.
Was Accused, Tried and Convicted
While Away.--Devault.

To The United Labor Bulletin:
l was much surprised on reading the
proceedings of the Trades and Labor As
sembly in the daily papers to no.
tice that l had been accused of an Of
fense, tried and convicted and all with
out my knowing thing about it until l
read it as stated above.
do not deny having taken non-union
bath on a certain occasion, and meeting
George Allen on coming out, but that
was last February, and not last week, as
he states.
Since that occasion l have attended
the meetings of the assembly quite reg
ularly, and SO has Allen; SO he has had
ample opportunity to make his accusa-
tion in my presence. But instead OF
that, he has waited five months for an
opportunity to accuse me in my absence.
Nor is it the first time Allen is guilty
of such conduct
Now about the BATH For the benefit
of the union people, l will say that do
not know, in the real sense of the word,
of a union bath in this city. The fact
that union barber may be working in
the front end of the shop does not in
any sense change the fact that the por-
ter in the rear end who takes care OF
the bath and waits on you there is a
nonunion porter, in all cases in this city.
George Allen was organizer for the
Trades Assembly not very long ago, and
there is nothing in the records of that
time which shows that he ever made an
effort to unionize the porters-and there
are quite number of them in this city
Had he organized them, there might be
real union baths for a union man to go
to today. But 1 must have bath, OF
some kind, whatever Allen may choose
to do in the matter.
| make no claim to be perfect; l ad-
nit that 1 may err, at times, as most
people do-except Bro. Allen, perhaps
and when 1 do go wrong | am only too
glad to have someone point out my er,
rors to me if it is done in the proper
spirit, in a straightforward, well-meant
way, / will appreciate it rather than re-
sent it. But when a trivial matter is
harbored for many months, awaiting an
opportunity to be sprung behind my
back, and magnified to the utmost, then
it becomes matter of malice, and quite
another thing.
l think those who recollect the course
pursued by Allen relative to the "fake
water amendments" before the spring
election, and the attitude 1 took toward
his malice toward me at this time.
Very truly,
P. ]. DEvAULT.

PLArEMAkERs' PICNIC.

success both financially and socially. One
OF the largest crowds that ever attended
a picnic of the platemakers was In at

Joying themselves would be foolish.

LABEL LEAGUE PICNIC.

The picnic of the Union Label League
was held at White City last Thursday,
and moderate sized crowd of union
men was in attendance. Thirteen hun
dred people gave League tickets at the
gate, although there were great many
more sold than used. The League will
make little money on the affair, but the
result is not what was expected on ac-
count of the program arranged.
The Bayly- Underhill girls played ball
on the grounds in the evening with a
male team and lost by good score, al
though playing a good game.
Three boxing bouts were staged on the
grounds that attracted almost everyone
in the park TO the scene of conflict.
Albert Bransch of the Structural Iron
workers and Edward Oliver, well-known
around the Eagles club, put on a real
fight, which came to an end in the third
round when Bransch was knocked on
the ropes which gave way and he was
precipitated to the ground, hurting him
self in such a way that the bout was
called off. 1t was to go six rounds.
Frankie Jones, the midget, and Joe
Kearney, much larger, put on the open
ing bout of three rounds, which resulted
in draw.
The third affair was between two Den
yer boys and was artistic, bloody and a
draw at the end of six rounds.
The picnic of the Womens' Auxiliary
to the Typographical union on Tuesday,
the masque carnival on Wednesday at
the White City, and the Grocers' picnic
the same day on the Moffat road all
detracted from the attendance; but TAX
ing it all in all it was success.
