THESE ARE FACTS.

For several weeks the daily newspapers have
endeavored to distort the truth and place the re
sponsblity for the Labor party others than those
where it belongs. The facts these and should
be patent to every man and woman that has been

Independent Political league organized with
Peter Johns, business agent of the Building
Trades council president; ]. H. Mitchell, now sec
retary OF the Building Trades council, secretary;
L. c. Welsh now delegate to the Trades assembly
from the Horseshoers' union, vice president and
r. p. (Iack) Means treasurer. After the organiza-
ton had existed for several weeks and had before
them as speakers prominent in the political
activities of the city, committee named to
place a labor ticket i'll the field The committee
consisted of fifteen, and its first meeting called
for the office of the State Federation of Labor and
did meet there. The Bulletin does not know the
personnel of that committee. That committee re-
ported back to the league and the league sat as
committee to name ticket. AT this meeting Vice
President Welsh presided and Treasurer Means
acted as secretary. The ticket not entirely
filled at this meeting, and the filling of vacancies
was left to subcommittee consisting of Messrs,
Delltt Auter Common. Hickey and Hally. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Hickey could not serve on
account of being called from the city. This COM
mittee transacted all business for the organization
in conjunction with the officers. The ticket was
filed by this committee. The committee informs

PROGRESS IS MADE
on EIGHT-H0UR BILL
Has Passed the House and is Now
Before the Senate --Amend-
ments Offered = List of
Opposition Senators.

Washington. = The eight-hour bill
passed by the house is now receiving
the consideration of the senate Numer-
Gus amendments have been offered
which, if adopted, would destroy the eff
ficiency of the bill. Senator Gallinger of
New Hampshire and Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts are the two conspicuous
senators desiring to amend the bill in a
manner that would practically destroy
its efficacy. Senator Lodge desired to
insert a provision that where the Satur-
day half holiday was given, nine hours a
day could be worked on five days of the
week, with three hours on Saturday, and
not be deemed a violation of the law.
Senator Borah of Idaho. chairman of the
senate committee on education and la
Dor, and who has charge of the bill on
the floor of the senate, opposed Senator
Lodges amendment and, after consid-
cradle discussion, the Lodge amendment
came to a vote, resulting in it being de-
feated by a vote of 35 to II. There has
been one amendment agreed to provid-
ing that the provisions of the bill shall
not apply until January 1, 1915, as to
any contract or contracts entered into
in connection with the construction of
the Isthmian canal" This amendment
is intended to leave conditions in status
quo during the completion OF the Pan
anna canal. Another amendment was
accepted relating to construction and re
pair of levies of revetments necessary
for protection against floods. etc. The
senators who voted for the Lodge
amendment. which would practically de
stroy the bill. are as follows: Bradley
of Kentucky. Bryan of Florida, Burton
of Ohio, Dillingham; of Vermont. Fletcher
of Florida, Gallinger of New Hampshire,
Lippitt of Rhode Island. Lodge of Massa-
chusetts. Mclean of Connecticut. Oliver
of Pennsylvania. Richardson of Della
ware. Root of New York. Sanders of
Tennessee, and wetmore of Rhode ISL
and From the vote upon this amend
ment it can be safely predicted that the
eight-hour bill will pass the senate. re-
tanning all of its effective features.

waters and Bartenders by the Lakeside
management, an account of which an
pears in another column, the most i'm
portant matter to come before the
Trades assembly Sunday was the con-
troversy over the Labor party which the
Rocky Mountain News succeeded in hav-
ing injected into the proceedings at the
previous meeting. At that MEETING a
motion was made by Delegate Barrett to
have the assembly go on record as hav-
ing no connection with the Labor party
Delegate Mitchell followed this with a
motion to lay the whole matter on the
table. Delegates Mitchell and Hornberu
were appointed teIiers, and the vote be-
came muddled. 1t was announced by the
secretary to the president as 81 for tabl-
ing to <S against, and the chair put the
vote as announced by the secretary and
declared the motion Of Barrett tabled.
The vote should have read 81 for to 80
against.
The newspapers made much of the
error and placed the blame on the presi-
dent. At the meeting Sunday the vote
was corrected and the action of the pres
ident in the chair commended. Later q
motion was made by Delegate Bryce to
exonerate the president from all the
charges made recently in the newspapers
regarding the Labor party. That ended
one of the dirtiest pieces on newspaper
publicity ever attempted by the corpora
ton newspapers

LAKESIDE PARK
WILL BE FAIR
If Management Cannot Agree With
Cooks, Walters and Bartend-
ers Those Departments
at Park Will Remain
Closed.

The most important trade union busi-
ness to come before the Trades and
Labor assembly, Sunday, was the pro-
posed contract Of the Walters, Bartend-
ers and Cooks with the White City. The
proposed agreement had been taken up
with the Lakeside management several
weeks ago, but the manager said that a
contract had been made with J. w. Mil
Ter to operate the Casino, RathskelIer
and bar under lease, and that the con-
tract must be taken up with Mr.. Miller
personally Miller said that he had
made the contract with Manager Burt
with the understanding that the old
scale Of the Hotel and Restaurant EN-
pioyes would prevail. He argued that
since the Walters and Bartenders had
demanded an increase after he had
signed the lease with the Lakeside man.
aoement he could not pay the increase.
The joint executive board of the three
organizations brought the matter to the
assembly BECAUSE they could not make a
settlement with the Lakeside manage
ment. The joint board asked that a boy
colt be placed on the park. After much
discussion on the motion to boycott at

hitraiion committee take the matter up

tary of the state Federation of Labor

After two hours spent in discussing
the scale OF prices, as proposed. 1t ap
peared that the only fault to find with
the scale by the Lakeside management
was the raise of 81 day for bartenders,
and the giving OF 81 in commission on
each SIS worth OF business sold by the
walters. Formerly the walters received
so cents on every IS of business. These
we're the only two objections to the scale
as proposed by the joint executive board,
and the management of the park refused
to sign. Mr. Cox said that he was in
structed TO insist on the scale as out
lined In the contract. Mr.. Burt said that
II the joint board insisted on the scale
that the Casino, Rathskeller and bar
would be closed for the season. He said
that no part of the park would attempt

ARNOLD's APPOINTMENTS.

The city election is over and the people
of the city have clearer insight into the election
Mayor-elect Arnold supported by so many dis
appointed offce-seekers from the other parties that
he could not dispense patronage to one-third the
number Consequently there are hundreds of dis
appointed supporters who unsheathing the knife
and bringing it into contact with the steel prepara
tory to knitting the administration This is the
very thing that could have been expected by the sup
porters that had political pull While the ap
pointments were declared to be non-partisan, there
were few that not landed with pull. The
Bulletin stated in its last issue that the campaign
was campaign of publicity and character-wreck-
ing, and the publicity agencies landed most OF the
appointments. T. NJ Patterson has placed George
Creel, his editorial writer, in the position of police
commissioner, and his influence has placed Felix
O'Ne in the office of chief of police. Not only
this but the fire and police board is controlled by
Patterson. He not only has the police power of the
city, but he has the mayor. Patterson will just as
surely control the city under the administra-
ton it is certain that the will rise the
row. Those who have cast their lot with the Cit-
zens party with the hope that they would land job
should be severely criticised if they do not support
the administration SO long 1t is an administration
for the people The Bulletin will do all in its power
to not have the administration hampered, so long
It does the peoples will; but should the newspaper
in control the power it has deceived the people
into giving it, to exact tribute from the corpora
tons and control the state after the fall election,
then we will oppose it with all energy and the
influences at our command. The Welton street
paper pledged that the government would be in the
hands of the people Is it possible that Patterson
believes himself to be the safety deposit box of the
peoples independence?

PRIDE OF BIRTH INDORSED
 BY BISHOP McCOMICK

Pride of birth was indorsed by Bi- shop J. N. Mccormick yesterday in his monday sermon at the Garrick Theater in St. Louis
 What is the thing that keeps, a lot of boys in St. Louis from going to the devil?' Bishop Mccormick ask ed. "It is because they are their fath- CTS sons. They do not dare bring disgrace upon their families, their standing. They have been pledged by their families and their traditions to a certain standard of living. This makes them stand up under incredi- ble temptations. They are kept from going to smash by the pressure of this responsibility.
