The commission form of government

Organized Labor will therefore need
close inspection when it finally appears
and the questions Wherein are we here
by benefited? and What recognition do
we get7 will have to be asked and salts
factorily answered before the members
of organized labor will fall all over them
selves TO vote for reform of that kind.
Up to the present time Labor has been
entirely ignored in this matter and the
men that have engineered this reform
movement so far have certainly not
shown that they are friends of the work
ingman. or that they consider his voice
on matters of general welfare of much
importance. But no doubt our votes will
be very welcome.
Commission form of municipal govern
ment is at this time very popular issue
all over the country and it is just at
such times when the sentiment is easily
swayed that it stands in hand to be
careful and considerate and be on the
lookout for jokers.

ANNOUNCE GREAT VICTORY.
Marx G. Haas Will Use Union Label il
Near Future.

In announcing the great victory won
by the Garment Workers of St. Louis,
the following communication is being
sent to local unions in Denver:
We are happy to announce to your or
ganization that the 25 months of war
fare between the United Garment Work
ers' District Council No. and the Marx
& Haas Clothing Co. has terminated in a
complete victory for the Garment Work
ers of st. Louis.
This battle was one of the stubbornest
that organized labor of our city had TO
wage in many years. This was due to
the influence of the Manufacturers as
sociation and especially certain large
clothing manufacturers who also were
anxious to see our union crushed.
The fight was not won by US alone,
and if it were not for the many locals
in all sections of the country who re-
sponded so nobly to our requests to get
after merchants who received shipments,
success would not have been possible.
Many union men here in ST. Louis
gave up hope of us ever whipping this
big house into line again, but We were
determined and nothing could discourage
us so long as the great army of union
men and women were ready to act on our
call and see the merchants who received
shipments of Marx & Haas clothing
This was the secret of our success.
Marx & Haas agrees to again put the
union label on their garments on, or be
fore, April. 1912. We would kindly re
quest that you notify the merchants OF
your city that a settlement has been
made and when you do SO also request
them to urge the Marx & Haas Clothing
Co. to furnish them the goods with the
union label.
In closing We again say that it was
your aid that made our victory possible
Thanking you most sincerely for your
many favors, We remain, yours frater
nally,
District Council No. 4, United Gar
ment Workers of America.

What we want to know is:
1. What is Organized Labor going to
get out of commission form of govern
ment?
of government over the present form of
government to Organized Labor?
3. viii Organized Labor be reeoe-
nized to the extent that they are en-
titled to under commission form Of
government?
These are the questions that present
themselves to the members of Organized
Labor and every members of Organized
Labor should vote for or against a pro-
posed commission form in the light that
he sees these questions answered.
There are $4,000 members of Organ
lied Labor in Denver of which at least
80 per cent. of them will be registered
voters. If Organized Labor of Denver
represents anything at all, then it surely
represents the substantial and most en-
lightened of ali American workingmen,
and furthermore. Organized Labor rep
resents that class of workingmen who
think and take the most interest in the
management and the economic condi-
tions Of the city. These $4,000 members
of Organized Labor have it in their
hands to carry this coming election, for
with all their wives and relatives de
pending on this army OF toilers. there
can be no question that they can muster
enough votes to carry the election either
way that they see fit. And all that
should be in the mind of the worker.

ballot booth. is 10 guard his own in
terest and that OF his children
Up to the present time Organized La
Dor has received but very little recogni-
ton or consideration from the parties
that are so intensely interested in the
framing OF this proposed commission
form for the city. We are told that
from lawyers standpoint the thing will
be masterpiece. but. what are we go
ing to get out of it? is still more or less
a mystery.
During this week the Chamber of
Commerce has taken referendum vote
to determine the sentiment among its
members between commission form of
government and a mayor form of govern
ment and the vote was 4SS in favor of
the mayor form against 32l in favor
OF the commission form. According to
the results of this vote, not all the bust
ness men of this city can see the neces-
sity of making a radical change at this
time and apparently good many of
them are not able to appreciate this
masterpiece of the lawyers" that is go
ing to be handed down to the people as

PATTERSON FOLLOWS
WALL STREET ORDERS
People Deceived by An Alleged
Interview with Nc
ManigaI.

In last Sundays issue of the News
there appeared an article on the Los
Angeles situation. The article in ques-
tion is supposed to be an interview of
Ortie McManisa. But the evident OBJ
ject of the article is SO transparent that
organized labor can not help but see the
Interior motive behind the same. The
article commences follows:
I amt a stool-pigeon and they know
I'm not l think now, since l came to
my senses, I'm doing honest labor union
ism more good, an I'm better union
man that those fellows, said Ortie Nc
Manigal, the confessed dynamiter, indi-
eating by a jerk of his stubby thumb
that part of the Los Angeles jail in
which the Mcnamara brothers are quar-
tered
And again it quotes:
And do you believe that the future of
organized labor is at stake in this trial?
What would be the effect of a conviction
in these cases." asked the News CORE
spondent-
He answered without the least hesita-
ton and in answering spoke with gram
matical precision, into which he occa-
s:onally lapses:
Tt won't affect organized labor except
as it will help to change the class of
men who are in as leaders. 1t will make
the rank and file more careful not to
put at the top the rattle-brained sort
who are ready to advise and plan such
tactics
The Bulletin has already predicted
that this course would be persued by
Mr.. T. NJ. Patterson and his paper in the
future. The combination that was
formed on Wall Street to make this fight
against organized labor is not subsidiz-
ing these newspapers for nothing and
We will see them deliver the goods from
now on. And the attack is going to be
against the leaders of organized labor
in particular and We predict that Mr.
Patterson will do his share to earn his
money.
Just as long as the rank and file will
put their fate into a capitalistic press.
| just so long will they be kept in tur-
moil and be unable to put up solid
] phalanx against the common enemy.

ANOTHER UNION NINE.

The Firestone Coal and Land Co. has
signed a contract with the miners union
and Saturday brought its first coal to
Denver. Its mines are capable OF a pro-
duction of 500 tons a day, and to this
extent will furnish relief from the coal
monopoly and its high prices exacted to
carry on its warfare against the union.
The new concern will retail its coal at
$3.50 ton in Denver. The contract
with the union recognizes every demand
which the miners made upon the coal
combine as just. George B. Lang of
Denver, former president of the Farm
ers' union, is the head of the new COM
pany. and L. Y. Lyons of Denver its sec
