ARBITRATION UNDER
THE ERDMAN ACT.

Law In Experimental Stage.

In spite of the large number of seri-
Gus controversies successfully handled,
the law may be said to be in an expert
mental stage, and it is too early yet to
predict that it will meet the eMgencies
of the future as it has those of the past
five years.
Some of its defects have already be-
come apparent, and in number of as
poets it can be strengthened and i'm
proved through amendment, but its sue
cess has been marked during the five
years in which it has been in practical
operation. Its provisions have been in
voked in nearly every possible form OF
controversy that could arise out of the
relation of employer and employe in the
railroad train service. Serious disputes
as to wages, hours, and ordinary work
ing conditions have been frequent. In
two instances controversies on southern
roads involving the race issue have pre-
cipitated strikes of the most dangerous
kind, and in several other instances dis
putes involved counter claims over juris-
diction on the part of different organiza-
tions-a class of controversy which is
always delicate and difficult in an excep-
tional degree.

Public Utilities Bill Petitions Are Now
Ready for Circulation.-Help
Wanted,

The Denver Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, has prepared and is circulating an
iniatiatory petition for Public Utility
Act, which provides for the creation of a
Public Utility Commission, which shall
have jurisdiction over common carriers

graph, water corporations and ware
housemen and such other corporations
as may hereafter be declared by law to
be a business affected with a public in
terest This will include smelters if the
pending constitutional amendment
passes.
The commission will have power to fix
rates for all charges and services fur
nished by said utilities, and prevent dis
elimination in rates.
1t will establish systems of accounting
for the various utilities and will ascer-
tain the value of their property and
plants.
1t will supervise all the issues of stock
and bonds that they wish to make, and
will supervise their operation so as to
promote the health and safety of the en-
ployes of such corporations and the pub
lie generally.
All accidents in connection with the
operation of any of these utilities will
be reported to the commission, who shall
have power to recommend safety appli-
ances and devices which shall diminish
such accidents in the future.
The commission will have the right to
make utilities furnish adequate service,
such as cars, equipments and facilities
of all kinds.
The decisions of the commission are
appealable to the courts, but must be
placed at the head of the civil docket.
and have preference over all other civil
eases exceDt election cases

MINERS BENEFITED.

An action that will lead to the recogni.
ton of checkweighmen, hired by the
miners in the entire Southern Colorado
field, was taken this week when the Ma.
tional and several other large companies
operating in the Aguilar district in Las
Animas county reinstated union check.
weighmen.
The mines directly affected are the
Green Canon, Suffield, Royal, Shaft and
Empire. The men have also been
granted CHECK off" of the checkmen's
wages.
This recognition on the part of the
miners has been directly due to the un.
firing efforts of the United Mine Work.
ers' organization. Although the men
throughout the southern fields, number.
ing 10000, have not openly declared
themselves for the union, their recent
increase in wages and the recognition OF
checkweighmen from their own ranks is
an acknowledgment to the demands OF
the union.

letter to alleged non-enforcement of the
safety appliance law by the railroads,
the loss to business and the delay to the

tions the letter alleges. are due to the
strike. The appeal is signed by the com.
mittee of international presidents of the

joyable smoker last Wednesday night.

the members get better acquainted with
each other. According to all reports.

entertaining.
There was a bout between two of their
members, Brothers Sadier ond Hamilton.
They are familiarly known as Mutt and

interesting talk by Louis Hess, men,
Der of the organization, who told about
his trip around the world on nothing. He

STRIKE IMMINENT.

The Bulletin has learned from an un.
official source that the negotiations for
a settlement between the Colorado Brew
ers' association and the United Brewery
Workers and the Steam Engineers has
been broken off by the refusal of the
association to consider a raise in wages.
The association offers to renew the old
scale. Conciliatory measures have been
concluded. The Engineers have a strike
order in the possession of the officials
of that organization, it is said; and it is
understood that the representatives of
the three Brewery Workers organiza-
tions have telegraphed for a like order.
The men may be forced to quit work be-
fore settlement is reached, but it is
almost certain that the different brew
cries operating in Denver and vicinity
will never attempt to operate their plants
with non-union men. May is the date
on which settlement must be consum-
mated or the men will walk out.

MORE INCONSISTENCY.

BE consistent, Mayor Speer; be for
union labor or against it, but quit trying
to play both ends against the middle"
This is a quotation from a letter to
city officials from the Building Trades
Council bearing on the squabble. over the
improvements at Washington park The
council believes that the administration
is not playing fair.
1t is asserted by council leaders that
the excavation work, the sheet metal
work and the cement work on the addi-
tion to the Washington park bathhouse
is being done by non-union labor, but
that the city officials, in order to keep
both sides satisfied, have agreed to let
the rest of the work be done by union
men.
we want all union men or none," is
the reply of the council. I'VE will not
strike, at least right now, but we might
in week or so. The city officials ought
to be consistent"

WANT TO AFFILIATE.

gravers and Designers of America are
desirous of afiliating with the Litho-
graphers' International union. according
to information conveyed to The Bulletin
office this week The United organiZa-
ton is composed principally of the art
lists and designers, but they are opposed
to trade shops and therefore will not af-
filiate with the Lithographers. who claim
that the trade shop is all right but must
be subject TO regulation by the organiza-
ton. 1t is believed it will be an easy
matter to bring these organizations to-
gether internationally, and the matter
will be taken up with the A. F. of L. at
once The United organization will hold
its convention this year at New York.
June 8. Benjamin Kaufman will be the
