When Hickey had finished Delegate

voice that thrilled his hearers and in
sound argument. went to the fore in be
half of The Bulletin He spoke briefly
but pointedly He said
The United Labor Bulletin has been

consider it the best labor paper the
state OF Colorado has ever had. If some
OF the labor leaders who have lived on
the workers for years and the trade
unionists of the city would quit knocking
and give the paper dollar for sub
scrption instead of Borrowing paper
from someone else, the paper would not
have to take questionable advertise
ments."
Delegate Koch of the Brewery Work
ers said that If it was necessary for a
paper to take unfair ads. in order to ex-
list it would be better to discontinue the
publication.
R Y Harrison, president of Union
Label League No. /, hit the nail on the
head when he repeated what Editor
Conkle had said at the convention of the
State Federation of Labor.
III the delegates would try and think
of some cause for this attack by Hickey
they would very soon decide that the
matter had no place in the assembly" g"
tion to The Bulletin desires to put The
Bulletin out of business that they may
start paper all their own, and conduct
il in the interest of a faction in the labor
movement"
1t didn't take this long to sink in, and
when c. J. Common ana Frank Bryan
and other delegates had voiced their
views OF the Hickey-Barrett attack on
The Bulletin that they might the better
control the labor movement of the city
as they claim they do OF the state, the
matter was soon disposed of.
The room being toe hot for the state
secretary he departed Tor cooler quarters,
and the assembly got down to business.
The assembly had many visitors to
gaze on the scene recorded above. The
News, Express and Republican had rep
resentatives at the meeting and each de
voted much space to 1ne proceedings and
agreeing that The Binetln was almost
unanimously endorsed" Beside George
Creel. Supervisor McGauran, a possible
candidate for mayor at the spring cleo
ton, was present and an interesting
listener.

September ! was red letter day in

San Francisco. Tens of thousands of

on the kidnapping of the Mcnamara
brothers:

the revolving parts into two units

OF opportunities to observe "skidding.'
The older cars had large, heavy fly
wheels; the racing cars Of today still
have them.
