"Why," and she gave her notebook
an angry fling. this thing here. I
warrant, has about one page in ten
filed with business that needed to
be transacted! The rest is gush and
affectation! And yet the men pride
themselves on their quickness and
their lack Of red tape and their abil-
ity to cope with big situations. And
you won't find one man in a dozen
who doesn't make supercilious re-
marks about detail and say that he
hasn't time to attend to that-that's
what he keeps clerks for!
~ heard Mr.. Brown this morning
tell his wife over the phone that he
simply couldn't get home to her lun-
cheon, he was so busy-his desk was
simply piled with work. He was very
sorry, but business had to come be-
fore pleasure and she'd please make
his excuses to the guests and so on
all that rot.
"Well, I expected busy day when
heard that and so l prepared for
rapid dictation. Well, what did /
get? To one man he wrote that the
matter was on his desk and as soon
as he had time he'd look 1t over and
write him in detail, which he begged
leave to trust was satisfactory! And
to another he wrote that business, as
he very likely knew, wasn't what 1t
might be, and therefore he wouldn't
be able to 60 into the matter, but we
might in some months time-per-
haps-with which he trusted he might
sign himself very sincerely! And to
another that he was in doubt as to
the advisability of taking out such
and such a paper. Just at present, but
after due consideration he would
write him further, and he desired,
with great gusto, to subscribe him
self his obliged friend. And so on
through the whole list! Why, there
wasn't o.. letter that couldn't have
been done away with altogether, let
alone being put of until after his
wifeis luncheon!
But all those letters made him
think he was a very busy man and
I've no doubt that he thinks he's in
dispensable to the company!
Some day I'm going to run off a
lot of form letters, saying that I'm
very sorry, but haven't yet had time
to look into the matter, but will write
further when time permits. i think 1t
makes the men feel good to tell peo-
pie they are too busy to think. Per-
haps it might be well. for me to offer
my services as thinker for them!
'They all know that they'll decide
against whatever matter 1t is that
keeps pending! It's hypocr!tical at
titude, to say the least. They pretend
to themselves that they're busy. They
pretend to the man to whom they
write that the matter really interests
them and that they're really going to
discuss 1t, and think 1t over, when
they know they aren't even going to
look at 1t again! And they pretend
to. the company that they're doing
business eight hours a day! And then
they'll 60 home and pretend to their
wives that they've had a hard day!

CENTENNIAL SCHOOL SUPPLY
COMPANY.

The Centennial School Supply Co.,
which is located at 1922 Arapahoe street,
is heartily in sympathy with labor when
properly conducted and has never op-
posed its broad underlying principles,
but has on numerous occasions mani
tested most friendly attitude toward
labor and the cause OF labor.
They are dealers in school furniture
and supplies, church Seating and furnish
ings, theater, hall, assembly and general
seating, and they give Denver service at
Chicago prices. The output of this COM
pany is received with entire satisfaction
on all sides, and in this our annual labor
review, which will be read by thousands
of wage-earners throughout the state, we
gladly give the Centennial School Supply

j. D. Heinzman, president, is con-
scientious business man of sterling abil-
ity and integrity, and is held in the
highest esteem and confidence by all
who know him. Working people should
cooperate with this company to make
their business growing and continued
success the coming year.

Gated at 1910 Sixteenth street and they
are investment brokers. and carry on n
general real estate and insurance busi-
ness. They have some of the best and
most choice rentals and pieces of prop

trustworthy in all their dealings with
the general public They are also gen.
eral insurance agents and represent
some of the most reliable, Trustworthy
and old line insurance companies in the
country. In fact they are dealers in all
kinds of insurance.
In compiling list of the concerns of
Denver entitled to the support and pat
ronage of the wage-earners. our list
would be indeed incomplete without
most prominent mention of Bennett &
Myers, as their attitude toward labor
and the cause of labor has always been
most fair and honorable. and when called
upon to help any worthy cause for the
betterment of the city and the working
people. they have always cheerfully re-
sponded.

WORK 70 TO 80 HOURS A WEEK.

Worcester, Mass.-According to infor-
nation received by the organizing COM
mittee of the Central Labor union nine
women are reported to be working from
seventy to eighty-three hours week in
the freight Offices of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford railroad. The time
sheets issued by the state police are
posted in the freight offices, but not
withstanding this, other methods of keep
ing time are in effect and show that six
women during a recent week worked
seventy hours each, one seventy-three
hours, one seventy-six hours, and one
eighty-three hours. The law in this state
makes fifty-four hours the limit of time
which any firm can employ women and
children without violating the state law.
The Central Labor union is making an
endeavor to follow this mater up and
will insist upon an enforcement of the
law
