STRIKE OF SHORT DURATION.

Saturday of last week, the cigarmakers
working at the Soils Cigar Co. demanded
hat they be furnished with better stock
with which to make cigars This the
company refused TO do, and Monday
morning the workmen refused to go to
work. After being out all day the man
agement of the company assented to the
demands of the employees and work was
resumed by the entire force Tuesday
morning. 1t seems that the stock given
The cigarmakers was not prepared prop
erly and could not be worked to advan-
tage. The stock was in such shape that
the cigarmakers could not make average
wages, hence tue kick Since the strike
the Soils company has employed fifteen
additional men
The Cuban Cigar company is not
rushed at this season, and have ordered
a limit put on the production of the men
so that it will not be necessary to lay off
any of the regular employees until bust
ness improves.

CLEANLINESS is GOODNESS.

Many ailments to which the human
body is heir have been cured by the use
of baths after the doctor has given up
in despair, and those who had the price
travelled thousands of miles to take the
baths in their natural state. We have
right here in Denver as finely equipped
medicated, sulphur, vapor and hot air
bathing establishment as can be found
anywhere. Mr.. r. F. Powell has opened
an elaborate institution of this kind at
244 Broadway, and guarantees to sue
cessfully treat rheumatism, lumbaso.
colds, gout and kindred troubles. There
is no reason in the world why anyone
afflicted with these troubles should leave
home or business at great expense and
travel to some unknown region for treat
ment when the same practically lies at
his feet. Massage and alcohol rubs
form an important feature of Mr.. Pow
ellis establishment which must be appre-
ciated by many.

LABOR PAPER THAT
DEcEIVES WORKERS

Continued from Page ID
Post has agreed to take 2oO TONS Oh codi
per day on an average.
1t was apparent at the last meeting
OF the assembly that the delegates de-
sire to boycott Post coal, but whether
this is a wise course to pursue remains
to be seen. Post coal is mined by non
union miners, and The Bulletin has it
from good authority that Baum is con-
sidering signing up with the miners. Dur
ing the strike, when but little union
mined coal could be secured, the Post
coal at the low price was great hino-
rance to the trust and great benefit to
the poor.
The Post cannot get sufficient coal 20
sell at the price of $3.95; and why the
miners do not get the Post to sell the
product of numerous small mines that
could be operated by the United Mine
Workers is beyond the conception OF the
writer. The Post has made this sugges-
ton to the writer through Mr.. Tammen.
He made the argument that the greatest
weapon in the hands of the United Mine
Workers of America was to use the large
amount of money at the disposal OF the
organization to mine coal instead OF pay
ing benefits. Mines could be developed,
the miners paid union wages, the coal
sold to the people through the Post, and
the trust would be broke just as soon as
the coal could be put on the market II
this had been done year ago, the min
ers' union would now have all their mem
bers employed, and the price of coal
would remain at 81 to the citizens of the
state.

ANOTHER UNION SHOP OPENED IN
DENVER.

Mr. George E. Faucher, an old resi-
dent and broom manufacturer of Hous-
ton, Texas, has come to Denver to live
and engage in his old business of manu-
featuring brooms, brushes and mops. He
has opened a factory at 259 Briadway,
which contains all modern machinery
for the manufacture of his goods, speci
mems of which were displayed in sev
eral windows of our downtown streets
during Industrial Week. Mr.. Faucher is
an old friend of organized labor, and
employs none but union help Every
body needs brooms and the like, and our
union men should see to it that the label
is attached to these articles when buy
ing them. This means living wages,
short hours under good conditions to
many of our fraternity.

MUSICIANS GIVE ENTERTAINMENT.

The Denver Musical Protective asso-
citation, Tuesday evening, gave an enter
tainment for its members that beat any
thing the writer has seen for long time.
We must acknowledge appreciation of
the receipt of a complimentary invita-
tion to the doin's, and when we arrived
there we found President Devault, Vice
resident Hoffman and Secretary Lie
bold rushing hither and thither endeavor-
ing to make the evening pleasant for the
large crowd that was in attendance. The
entertainment was given at the Musi-
clans hall, 1892 Arapahoe street, and
was for the members only, with few
invited guests.
The hall and offices are quite spacious,
but the floor space was SO filled that it
was with difficulty that the dancers
could find room in which to trip the light
fantastic.
Al about IL O'Clock a luncn was served
~ the entire assemblage, and it was
uone in a way that showed that the men
that had the affair in charge understood
how to entertain. There were chicken
sandwiches, with warm dressing-evi-
IDENTIFY from roast chicken; celery, Olives
vegetable SALAD and cheese-all this on
one platter-and it was fine. Then they
served coffee, milk, ice cream cut from
the brick formation in little wooden
dishes; and the best Of cake you ever
ate; and then they passed around glasses
which they filled from a large earthen
pitcher The writer was SO full by this
time that he did not investigate what the
nqu-- formation purported to be, but
from the way it poured one would judge
from the appetite it produced that it
would go best with the chicken sand
wiches, olives and celery.
1t is not the duty of an invited guest
to tell all that happened at the Musicians
party, and we will leave the reader guess
what the refreshment was. But, taking
| the entertainment as whole, it is the
best yet The music, of course, was the
best and all the members did what they
could to make the affair a success.
Among others that were very active was
Delegate Pagan of the Trades assembly.
| Among those present as visitors were:
The Rev. Paul Strayer Of Rochester, N.
Y, one of the broad-minded religious ex-
perts that have been taking Denver by
storm for the past week; Otto Thum and
J. H. Bearrup, as well as ye editor and
| wife.
These entertainments are annual af-
fairs but this is the first one that has
been SO we'll attended, and 1t clearly
SHOWS the harmony that exists in the or
ganization under the present administra-
ton.

DON'T GO TO COAST.

All working people are advised to stay
away from the Pacific coast. Advertise
ments have been inserted in eastern
papers that workers in all trades are
wanted on the coast, and now the au-
tnor...es find that the coast cities are
swarming with the unemployed and
nothing in sight for them to do. The
board of supervisors have taken action
by adopting resolutions advising eastern
ers of the conditions prevalent. The
federal government should take some ac-
ton or propose some legislation against
anyone who inserts false information to
attract the poor to some distant state
for employment.

thank you for the part you played and
the important work you did in connec-

Home Industries committee. Next year

Now that the week is past and gone
we want to say that Union Labor did all

them.
How did he find it out?
By the advertisement of the Trades
and Labor Assembly
The union men and women of this
city and state built Mr.. Carl Lindquist's
factory for him and he seems forget It,

"NIGGER" In The
HITCHCOCK WOOD Pile
Georgia Negro Played Part
In Recent RunOrS

Washington, Feb. 3.-Why some
close friends of President Taft have
become suspicious of Postmaster
General Hitchcock is disclosed by a
story that has been for some time ag-
itating the higher circles of colored
officialdom in Washington. Some time
in December, it is said, Hitchcock
sent for Richard Lincoln Johnson, u
colored Georgia politician who was
appointed through Hitchcock's influ-
ence to the lucrative post of Recorder
of Deeds of the District of Columbia.
Johnson went to the office of the Post
master General and was cordially re-
ceived and was presented with an au-
tographed photograph of Hitchcock.
Then Johnson was requested, the
story goes, to attend the meeting Of
the State Central Committee, of which
he is a member, and see that no res
olution was passed indorsing any
candidate for the Republican nomina-'
ton for President Johnson attended
the meeting but a resolution was
passed endorsing Taft. p,
When Johnson returned he found 4
note requesting hi INTO call at the
Post Office Department at once. He
went, but this time was called to the
room of a subordinate, who demanded
the instant return of the Hitchcock
photograph.
Filled with CONSERVATION at this
marked disfavor, Johnson hurried TO
the White House and told his tale Of
woe to Secretary Hilles, and later, it
is said, to the President himself.
Shortly after this incident the Post
master Generals declaration in favor
of Government purcno3e and opera
ton of telegraph lires was given to
the public. 1t is now figured by pol
iticians that Hitchcock determined #
he had to quit the Cabinet there
should be an apparent cause for his
quitting, with some semblance to
craftsmanship.
Politicians hint the President is in
the dark as to the number Of South
ern delegates the Postmaster General
has sawed up, and is therefore afraid
| to berak with him.
