Attractions and be Entertained.

More than 5000 people visited Man
haitian Beach at the opening OF that re-

sands of pleasure-seekers.
Next week at Manhattan Beach will
be an especially attractive one in every
sense of the word. Several new attrac-
tions have been added during the past

club holds it's annual picnic and a num-
ber of special free attractions have been
arranged for these two days. Other free
features will also be included in next
weeks amusements at the beach.

to be a spectacle which in realistic por-
trayal of the greatest marine disaster of
the age will eclipse anything of the kind
ever attempted in Denver There will
be thrill every minute and the perilous
rescues effected after the vessel strikes
the huge iceberg will be exciting beyond
measure.
The free vaudeville bill in the open air
tneaIer winch proven So popular tHiS
week will be of an exceptionally high
class order. The twelve-piece orchestra
will furnish the accompaniment for each
act.
The grounds are beautiful in the ex-
. treme and provide an ideal place for
picnic parties and family basket lunches.
The shade is abundant while the lawns
and flowers are pretty throughout Boat
ing, bathing and swimming facilities are
unexcelled and the genuine ocean sand
beach offers pleasurable opportunities
for sand bake" The steamship Frolic
makes its regular trips over the lake
with free dancing on board while the
dancing pavilion and roller skating Kinks
have both been refioored and are in ex-
cellent condition. The rides and other
attractions on the grounds are high class
and furnish means of entertainment for

To Prosecute viqiIantes.

San Diego, Cal.-It is understood that
as a result of the investigation made by
a representative of Governor Johnson in
reference to disturbances in this city,
the governor will commence legal pro
ceedings against the so-called vigilantes
of this city. The report further states
that the governor made the following
statement: IF San Diego wishes the
aid of the state in any just cause, most
cheerfully will that aid, upon request, be
accorded but just as certainly will the
aid of the state be extended to any man,
however humble and feeble, whose lives
are trampled upon in San Diego, and
with exactly the same alacrity will the
state endeavor to provide redress for
those whose liberty has been wantonly
violated"

LABEL LEAGUE.

Union Label League met in regular
session Friday evening, June Z, at 3lS
Club building.
The secretary of the complaint depart
ment read the names of Red Harris
of the Walters and Mcdonald of the Bar
bers, who were reported for patronizing
unfair places.
The committee appointed to call on
merchants in reference to the Wright
Health Underwear and other matters, re-
Dorted that they had visited the most
prominent firms and had been assured
that union-made goods would be handled
in any quantities that the union men de-
sired, but that they were not receiving
the support from the union men OF the
city that they should.
The report from the committee in ref
erence to the Saranac glove, non-union
made glove, showed that very few of
these gloves were handled in this city.
The following firms are the only ones
in the city employing union soda water
bottlers and drivers: Empire Bottllng
Co., City Bottling Co., Fritz Bottling Co.,
Standard Bottling Co., Simmons Bottling
Co., Hanigan Bros. Bottling Co., Marselis
Bottling Works, Gilbreath Bottling
Works.
Mr.. Winter, a representative of the
Bakers international union, was present
and addressed the League. He stated
that the Bakers were going to prosecute
a vigorous campaign for the label and
better conditions in the trade.
The Cooks, Walters and Bartenders
reported that they had settled their dif-
ferences with Lakeside and that resort
was now fair to all the trades represent
ed there.
The Broommakers reported that the
Crafty brooms (non-union) were being
given away as premiums throughout the
city and they ask that union men and
women refuse to accept them even as a
gift unless the union label appears on
same.

Report Erroneous.

Springfield, Ill.-It has been reported
that a conference has been held and an
agreement reached at Detroit, Mich, be-
tween the regular organization of Elec'
trical Workers and the seeding faction
This report is erroneous, and has NO
foundation in fact. The local unions OF
Electrical Workers in Detroit which
have, since the split, remained loyal to
the Reid or seeding faction, at con
ference held recently with the executive
officers of the regular organization made
a proposition to re-afiiliate with the reg
ular organization and it was accepted by
the executive board of the McNulty or
ganization.

Frank Ruchanan,s Speech.

Washington-Frank Buchanan, mem
ber of the Structural Iron Workers and
representing one of the Chicago con-
gressional districts, was exceedingly act
i've in the discussion of the naval appro-
priation bill. which recently passed the
house. Mr.. Buchanan is member OF
the naval affairs committee and during
the progress of the consideration of this
bill derogatory reference was made by
some of the members on the floor to the
political attitude assumed by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. Referring to
this particular phase of the discussion,
Mr.. Buchanan said: Now, something
has been said here about the president
of the American Federation of Labor in
regard to his activity in political affairs.

know Mr.. Gompers personally, and re-
spect I'D admire him for his brilliant in
tellect S-yed honesty, sincerity of pur-
pose and fidelity to a principle, and
know something about his record as a
laboring man. Mr.. Gompers hesitated to
go into politics and when he did go into
it, it was to carry out the demands OF a
conference that was held, If my memory
serves me right, in March, 1907, and
which might be called a special conven-
tion. which had representatives not only
of those organizations. affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, but those
that were not affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and | suppose
SO far as representation is concerned 1t
was one OF the largest conventions that
the laboring people of this country have
ever had. The American Fed
grafton of Labor never has been parti-
san organization Its political influence
has never been used only to support its
friends and oppose its enemies. The So
cialists in the labor movement endeav-
ored at times to make the Federation of
Labor a tool for that political group, but
failed The American trade union move
ment has refused to be the tail of the
kite of any political organization. Mr..
Gompers' political position has been the
position OF organized labor. and that is
what / desire to make clear to you, that
Mr. Gompers should not be attacked for
what he has done in political matters
unless you attack the trade unions, be-
cause he was carrying out what he had
been instructed to do by the representa-
tives OF the unions, and think it was
a credit TO him to make the political
fight he did in 1908. To do SO was an

ors of this city recently organized and
have been successful in securing agree
ments with three of the largest mer-
chant tailors The plumbers also recent
" demanded a soc advance per day and
secured agreements with all firms except

time the two recalcitrant firms, thus
making this a union city so far as the
plumbers are concerned.

Street Carmen Organizing in Boston.
Boston.-The Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street and Electric Railway EN-
ployes have organizers in this city en-
deavoring to perfect an organization
among the street railway employees. 1t
is reported that these organizers have
been successful in securing about 10000
members and as a result the company
has discharged a number of employees.
The movement has been carried on
quietly because the Boston Elevated has
always bitterly antagonized the organiza-
ton of its employees. The company, up
on learning that large number of the
motormen and conductors had affiliated
themselves with the new organization,
posted a notice to the effect that 10
per cent increase in wages for every
employe would go into effect on June l.
1t is reported that the announcement of
the company provides for a minimum
wage of S12 per week, with seven days
work, and a minimum guarantee of 81
week for substitutes, or those who have
no regular runs. 1t is expected that a
movement will be inaugurated to de-
mand the reinstatement of the dis
charged employees and also that the or
ganization be recognized in the matter
of deciding upon wage scales and condi-
tions of labor

committee that investigated the Iltahlc

May 2S During the course OF his ad-

the investigation instituted by the coiii-
mittee was comprehensively made:

cisarmakers Gain Notable Victory.

Los Angeles.-In signing up the Baer
cigar factory the union cigarmakers
have won notable victory. The factory
originally opened as a union concern,
but in April, 1907, it refused to sign the
new scale of prices and since that time
has been a non-union concern. The ci-
garmakers, however, have kept up an
active contest against the products OF
the firm, and as a result an adjustment
has been secured and the factory Will
again employ none but union cigarmak-
ers.

Homestead Bill Passes.

Washington.-It will be remembered
by students of the labor movement that
years ago the trade unions and reform
papers were responsible for carrying
through the legislation which resulted in
the homestead, pre-emption and timber
claim laws. Congress has just passed a
bill which reduces the requisite period
of residence on homesteads from five
years to three, and grants five months
leave of absence annually to permit
homesteaders to go away for the pur-
pose of supplementing their incomes.
