GREATER COLORADO;
GREATER DENVER
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
AND LABOR UNIONS WILL
WORK TOGETHER.

Every labor organization in Denver
should take an active part in the Greater
Colorado frolic at Lakeside June 22, %
and 24-Thursday, Friday and Saturday
of the coming week.
Many of the unions and central bodies
have already put themselves on record
as heartily in accord with the entire
spirit of the affair and are cooperating
actively with the different commercial
organizations in making the frolic tre-
mendous financial success.
The purpose of the Lakeside celebra-
ton is to raise at least $4,000 to make
the Greater Colorado Industrial parade
scheduled for July is thoroughly typical
of the resources and industries of Colo
rado-in other words to impress upon
the people of this state and upon the
thousands of visitors who will be here
in July attending the National Real Es-
tate Mems convention that Colorado is
capable of producing everything for the
needs of its inhabitants and that Colo
rado is taking care of the needs of its
inhabitants.
This parade will be another step for
ward in the eyer-popular campaign to
have Colorado people "patronize home
Industries"
be raised at Lakeside moving pictures
will be taken of the important features
of this parade and will be shown in thou
sands OF motion picture theaters all over
the world. Surely never such an oppor-
tunity to secure such desirable publicity
for Denver and this state was never Of
fered local people. and every union man
who buys a ticket to Lakeside for the
frolic next week, or who aids in selling
one or more books will do his share in
the accomplishment of these two great
ends.
The work Is not to be a temporary
one. but will be the foundation of a per-
manent campaign TO help Colorado in
dustries and advertise Colorado and Den
yer to the world. And in this work the
labor organizations and the commercial
and civic organizations OF Denver are
working hand in hand. thereby promot-
ing a more friendly feeling between
these two powerful elements in the COM
munity.
The Denver Trades and Labor Assem-
by. the Union Label League. the Asso-
ciated Building Trades and the Building
Trades Council are among the labor
bodies that have already jumped into the
work with the enthusiasm that means
success and many organizations of the
different crafts are preparing to put their
shoulders to the wheel The Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners, Local No. 55,
books that are being sold and has added
to the advance receipts very materially
These books contain one dollars worth
of tickets that are good for one dollar
for anything or everything on the
grounds-park attractions. concession
shows, refreshments, peanuts, popcorn,
in fact, everything sold at the White
City. The Greater Colorado bosters will
receive a most liberal share of the re-
ceipts of these ticket sales-indeed, they
will be joint owners of the White City
during the three days and will make just
as much out of it. IL not more, than the
park itself.
Saturday of the three-day frolic will
be a special day in honor of Organized
Labor. Every union man and woman
should do what he or she can to finan-
cially assist, and at least lend encourage
ment to the movement by inducing others
to buy as many ticekts as possible for
the Lakeside affair.
