Trials of The Bulletin and What
1t Stands For.
PAPER ROBBED IN THE PAST

The publishing of labor paper by a
central body is serious proposition
especially for the editor.
II he thinks he can please all the dele
gates that attend a central body, he has
vast courage.
II he endeavors to remain neutral on
important propositions, he will be called
weak-and no one cares to see the paper.
II he takes a stand. he will be called
meddler. He will be denounced at all
meetings.; but he will generally be found
on top-tor men love man of courage,
and they will not see him downed.
/ If he voices his views on the conduct
of labor organizations, he will make
enemies-but he who makes enemies also
has friends.
If he is attacked in public, his conduct
is watched closely, his writeups are
widely read, and if he can deliver the
goods" the attacks him have made
him d place in the ranks of labor and in
the hearts of men of worth.
The United Labor Bulletin is a pioneer
in the labor field of Denver. 1t is the
first labor paper published in this city
| that has made good" d"-that has lived"
for any length of time.
The Bulletin is now in its sixth year.
1t has seen adversities; it has been in
the clutches OF the gang" it has been

The Bulletin was taken by the present
management when deep in debt.
Who put it in debt?
Who squandered the money?
The former editor, w. D. Henderson
and his friends.
Did you ever hear any OF the labor
leaders" now fighting The Bulletin de-
nounce this man?
OF course, not.
IL was in February, 1910, that the
present management took charge of The
Bulletin and found it pillaged TO a known
amount OF over 5000.
On the Christmas preceding this defal-
cation a special edition OF The Bulletin
was printed and 80 per cent paid to
solicitor.
Those now fighting The Bulletin prof
tied by this edition, and the money
served as bribe TO seal their mouths
on the Labor day preceding the Christ
mas mentioned. another scandal was
promulgated and Henderson was an Of
neer of the committee. The books were
lost and no accounting ever made
Did you hear the now-higher-ups yell
thief
or course, not.
The United Labor Bulletin has set
standard to follow-a standard of hon
esty integrity and aggressiyeness in the
labor movement and as long as the pres
is going TO be maintained without falter.
The Bulletin has fought graft in the
central bodies OF the city and will con-
tinue TO do so until the editor is re
called.
The Bulletin has entered the lists in
behalf of the Musicians, in the boycott
and won.
The Bulletin entered the fight for the
Machinists when Injunction Greeley re-
strained them from using certain public
highways was not afraid.
The Bulletin subjected the editor TO
Imprisonment for contempty in behalf
of the miners-and you men OF putty
who are fighting it know it
The editor of The Bulletin has sub
jected himself to the anger of the injunc-
tion Judge when the present knockers
were feeding from the labor movement
and indulging in wine and song.
The Bulletin says: stop il"
The labor movement of Denver. which
this paper represents, says; stop ii.
The laboring people of Denver, who.
by the way. are not responsible for the
elevation of Secretary Hickey TO his
high office. will put a stop to it, We be
lieve, before it is necessary for The
Bulletin to SO 10 the bottom of the situa-
ton in the city and state.
During the last year the labor situa-
ton in Denver has been mending.
The building trades are solving their
trouble, and are now united.
The Denver Trades and Labor Assem-
bly,. under the administration of Tom
Denitt, has been accomplishing things
for Organized Labor. Everything is har-
mony and work" is the keynote. Not
breath of scandal has reached the ears
of delegates during his two terms in
office
But in come disturbers to cause COM
motion-to cause dissension-to inspire
resolutions against delegates and The
Bulletin,
DELEGATES who come on the floor OF
the assembly intoxicated and discredit
the organization should be unseated
without delay.
The labor movement in Denver must
remain clean at all cost.
There is coming on" much political
activity
An amendment TO the city charter for
a commission form of government.
city election.
Two United States senators.
\ state election.
The referring of the Tunnel bill
And many other propositions.
Ii is the intention of those now caus-
ing trouble to get control OF the central
bodies. They have made their boasts.
They must be in control when the big
game" is killed.
The Bulletin don't believe the laboring
people want the central bodies prost-
tuted to the will of any political faction,
so STOP IT,
