THE TELEPHONE QUESTION.
Report Of COMMITTEES Is Not Popular
With Assembly.

The delegates to the Trades and Labor
Assembly did not take the same view of
the telephone situation as did the legis-
| iative committee in its report, which fol-
lows. that laborine men are not inter-
tested in the telephSne situation, as they
are employed most of the time at the
occupations enumerated below, but they
failed TO say why the telephone should
mot be within the reach of the laboring
| man that his wife and family might feel
secure from intruders while the men
folks are at work. or have a phone at
hand to call physician in an emergency
or order her groceries on a cold and
stormy day. The committee said:
To the Officers and Members or the Den.
yer Trades and Labor Assembly:
In the matter Of the Colorado Tele-
phone company. which is now operating
and using the streets of Denver without
compensation 10 the city, We desire to
state that ii is our firm belief that this
matter does not concern organized labor
at present in the least as very few labor
ing people can afford the installation of
costly telephone, and the laboring peo-
pie have no need for it as they are con-
fined all day long in the mines. mills,
factories and other places of labor.
This fight with the telephone company
is strictly a business matter with cor
porations. manufacturing industries, and
the merchants. and whose organizations
wish to use organized labor as a cats
paw. The merchants and manufacturers
have never helped organized labor in
any matter affecting its welfare. but now
expects organized labor TO come to its
rescue in getting recognition for its
grievances against outrageous charges
by the telephone monopoly.
We. therefore recommend that the as
sembly drop this matter of the telephone
company indefinitely as organized labor
is not interested in it. and as it tends to
confuse the minds of the laboring people
from more important and pressing af-
fairs in which 1t is directly interested.

The report of the committeee was laid
on the table for two weeks and will be
taken up at the next meeting OF the as

There was much discussion in the com
mittee relative to the northern Colorad,
coal strike and measures that wer,
thought best to preserve the liberty o
the miners and prevent further prosti
tuted judicial decisions. Attorney Cohel
is of the opinion that the unconditiona

KLINE FOR BOILER INSPECTOR.
Man of 50 Years Experience Want.
Place for Which He Is Well Fitted.

H. C. Kline has been endorsed by the
Boilermakers' union and the Denver
Trades and Labor Assembly for the posi-
ton of state boiler inspector. Mr.. Kline
resides at 1861 Mariposa street and is a
property owner. He is now employed as
boiler inspector for the d. & r. G. rail-
road company. for which company he
has worked for years. There is no argu-
ment to advance why boilermaker
should not be state boiler inspector; but
there is plenty of argument why a boiler
maker should be named for the place.

explosions in recent years. When a

LABOR DEPARTMENT ATTACKED.
Assembly Believes the Attack Not o
Sufficient Importance for Concern.

The following resolution was intro
duced at the Trades and Labor Assembly
by William Koch, and was referred to
the resolutions committee:
Whereas, The numerous articles in the
newspapers tend TO show that there is a
concerted action on the part of corpora

Resolutions Committee.
The greater number of the delegates
believed that the political attacks being
made on the labor department were not
OF sufficient Importance to be given con-
sideration at this time. and the resolu-
ton was laid on the table. II at any
time the assistance of the assembly Is
needed to maintain the principles OF the
department that assistance Will quickly
be given-that seeming 70 be the senti-
ment in the assembly.
United labor bulletin., 1911-01-12

The explosion at the Denver Gas & Elec-
tric company a few months ago Is only
an example OF what the people must
stand for when selections are made for
boiler inspector for political purposes. 1t
is time that the people insist that every
inspector who Is named should be taken
from the trade for which he Is to be
made inspector. and thus do away with
the awful loss 5f life that Is occasioned
by officials who do not name men who
are qualified to fill the places to which
they are appointed. The boilermakers
claim. and justly so. that clerk or man
about-town should not be made boiler
inspector.
The Boilermakers' union has put for
ward Mr.. Kline for the place and his en-
dorsement will be brought to the atten-
ton Of the governor. Mr.. Kline has had
Ss years experience and his qualihca-
tions are acknowledged by ALL
