DID DELEGATES BLUNDER?

Many have been asking another since the
meeting of the Trades and Labor Assembly, Sunday,
why the delegates took the action they did in seat
ing a delegate that confessed to having violated
every principle of unonism?
In the mind of the writer there is but be-
lief That there is certain element-and that very
small-in the assembly that is insincere. This ee-
ment combined to override the will of the assembly
expressed at "a time when there was no partisan
feeling and when one had been charged with
violating the code OF morals for which every true
unionist should stand A charge against any union
for violation of true union principles should
not have been made. should it be made per
sonal issue partisan issue. The charge should
be dealt with the broad lines of trade unionism,
and if necessary, sacrifice should be made to up
hold the principle outlined in the motion passed by
the Trades Assembly when no personalities were
brought into play That a deliberative body should
be- and is the judge of its personnel there can
be no doubt; that central labor body can and
should bar delegate who persists in patronlzlng
non-union and boycotted business concerns Is
founded on good common sense. Any man, woman
combation of trade unioniss who seek to protect
such acts of delegates were hauted IN the faces
of the assembly delegates at the meeting Sunday,
undo more good work IN single meeting thah
a central body promote in whole year. The acts
of the majority of very poorly attended meeting,
Sunday. weakened the power of the central body
for good those acts weakened the heart of those
delegates who working sincerely to better the
conditions of the working people of the state Many
delegates who later in the meeting asked support
for the union card and for the union label voted to
seat delegate that fiaunted his treachery IN the
faces of every union in the assembly, as well as
in the city. The Bulletin believes that central
body has the right as every local union should have
to ask members and delegates to support fair prod
ucts and if they will do by request then those
delegates should be forced to do expelled from
the organizations making the demand This is the
foundation of the trade union movement. and If en-
forced the movement would not be at a standstl as
it is in Denver The who ''scabs on you and
then asks that you receive him INTO trade union or
eanizations on account of the friendship you bear
him. is only to be compared to him who would eat
at your table while he poisoned the food from which
YOU yourself partakng. Let the trade unlonist
be progressive: let them be sincere.

LAW IS
SIGNED By PRESIDENT 7
History Of LegisIation--WiII Not
Affect Panama Canal
Zone.

Labor's eight-hour bill has been signed
| by the president. The history of the er-
actment of this legislation is interesting.
The first eight-hour law adopted by con-
gress included all laborers, workmen
and mechanics employed by or on be
half of the government of the United
States, and became a law on June %,
1865. The law was extended TO include
carriers on May "a, 1883. The next
change occurred a little over four years
later, when the eight-hour law was
strengthened by specific provisions re
uuiring the government to not permit
any laborer or mechanic to work more
than eight hours in any one calendar
day, except in cases of extraordinary
emergency, this provision becoming op-
erative on August 1, 1892 The eight
hour bill which has now been approved
by the president was passed unanimous
Ily by the house of representatives on
December IA, 1911. On May 81, 1912.
the house bill, with several amendments,
passed the senate. On June ., 1872, the
house of representatives concurred in
the amendments added by the senate.
The bill, then went to the president for
his approval or disapproval. On June
l19, 1912, the president affixed his sig
nature, thus making the eight-hour day
a federal enactment This law will go
into effect on January 1. 1913. with the
single exception that the law will not
be in force and effect in the Panama
Canal Zone until after January l. 1915.
The pen with which the president signed
the bill was presented to President
Gompers.
New Law Goes Into Effect.
The new state law of Kentucky regu-
lating the employment of female work
ers is now in effect The statute pro-
hibits all female workers under 81 years
of age from being employed in excess of
10 hours day, or 60 hours per week,
other than those employed as domestics
or nurses This law also provides for
seats for women engaged in specified oc-
cupations. and number of other sani-
tary and moral safeguards.

two members of that organization who have during
the past six months done good work for the move
lnent Those delegates Charles y. Ahlstrom,
chairman of the bylaws and constitution committee,
and Frank Bryan, chairman of the Legislative
committee. Chairman Ahlstrom has done most eN-
celent work in connection with the new amend
ments to the laws of the assembly The new elee-
ton law will be a boon to the assembly IN faciltat-
ing the election of officers and the other amend
ments will be of great benefit to the central body
He has been untiring in his work. and has spent the
greater part of six months in completing the work
Chairman Bryan of the legislative committee
has been the power behind the committee that has
filed with the secretary of state the public utilities
bill This was a herculean task. He succeeded IN
getting 2500o signatures to the petitions filed The
proposed legislation will now be placed on the bal
lot at the fall election, and if it is voted upon favor
ably by the people it will be most excellent addi
tonal legislation for the statute books. 1t will give
the state complete control and supervision of every
public utility in the state The labor movement Is
indebted to these excellent who have done
things for labor and the people.
