Eight out of twelve defendants were

A brief review Of the cases brought
under the antitrust law during the ad-
ministration demonstrates clearly its
value to the American people in their
protection Of that equality Of opportu-
nifty which is declared by the platform
Of the Republican party to be the right
Of every citizen.
Reference to a few Of the antitrust
cases brought by the Taft administra-
ton gives an excellent idea of the hard
ships some Of these illegal combina-
tons entail upon consumers. In the
prosecution Of case against number
Of individuals who attempted to corner
all the free cotton remaining of the
crop of 1903 it resulted in raise in
the price Of that commodity to the
spinners. prevented some from making
any purchases and was therefore re-
straining interstate commerce.
In like manner the government took
cognizance of the pooling in the wire
industry, with the result that nine in
dictments were found in New York
against eighty-three persons engaged
in that business. 1t was an illegal re-
straint of trade. and when the court
proceedings had been finished the va
rious defendants were fined in amounts
averaging $1,000 each. with the excep-
ton of the supervisor Of the pool. who
was fined $4,000.
One of the most outrageous cases of
combination in restraint Of trade and
a notable violation Of the Sherman law
was that of the hand blown window
glass industry. Practically all of the
manufacturers (eightythree in num-
Der, formed a company which control
led the entire output Of hand blown
glass. AS result the price was ad-
vanced 100 per cent within less than a
year. The indictment Of the men re-
sponsible the imposition of fines and
the restoration Of the business upon its
former lines were followed by a sub
stantial reduction in the price Of hand
blown glass.

ABOUT THE REFERENDUM VOTE.

The number of organizations of locals
and branches now number over eighty,
including all that are not dropped, though
some are suspended. The counties of
Boulder, Denver, Las Animas, Mesa and
Teller have county local organizations.
Out of this large number of organiza-
tions many are new and the secretaries
will perhaps be inexperienced, about our
method of conducting the referendum
vote. Every financial secretary was fur
nished with a copy Of the state party
constitution and this copy of The United
Labor Bulletin will reach every financial
secretary, SO there should be no excuse
for making any blunder in receiving, tab
ulating and reporting properly the vote
cast. First let me ask the financial sec
retaries to read the whole of Article V
in our constitution, on referendum, as
well as Art. vi, on membership and quail
ifications. There you will learn that
members must have paid dues for the
month in which he or she casts the vote,
and must also have paid dues for the
previous month in which he or she casts
the vote, and must also have paid dues
for the previous month, in order to have
the right to vote. You will also learn
that every branch and local must have
paid dues for the number of members
that the votes are reported for-for both
months, that the members must have
paid for, In order to have the vote tabu-
lated at the state office.
In order that the inexperienced secre-
taries may thoroughly understand we
will state that the present referendum
for the election of state party officials,
covers both January and February, SO
the members who paid dues for Decem-
ber and January can vote, and as the
vote is not counted nor tabulated till in
February, those who paid dues for only
January and February can also vote the
same as the others, for that covers the
present and previous months. The or
ganizations stand exactly in that same
position to the state office, as the men,
bers do to the local organizations. In re-
CARDS to the payment of dues. When
the vote is tabulated at the state Office
the only points raised are to see II the
vote has been properly reported; that
the ballot envelopes have come and that
the local or branch has paid dues for the
last two months, for as many as the
number of votes it has reported. 1t is
retaries to comply with the rules and
laws of the party.
You will also understand, that al
though your organization may be sus-
pended now, 1t can cast its votes and re-
port same, providing that the dues are
paid to the state office, on or before the
report of the vote is sent 1t is not the
intention of the party constitution to
make it hard to live up to. but it pro-
vides an easy system of doing the busi-
ness affairs, by having specific system
and order. tt

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION.

The national executive committee OF
our party appointed a committee to as
certain all the facts 1t could obtain about
the commission form of government and
to make full report to the national
convention, which is to be held at Okla
homa City.
The state secretary has been request
ed by that committee to furnish the
names of persons from the cities in Colo
RADIO that have adopted that form OF city
government and also from the cities
that have defeated the proposed form.
Ae secretaries of the Socialist organ
izations, or any other persons from any
sucn city as designated above are there
fore requested to furnish the state office
with such names. so the committee that
is to report to the national convention
may be able to communicate with such
persons. Don't say you will look after
that after awhile, but do 1t now, for this
committee must have time to prepare the
data for such report, and we are anxious
to have the facts.

ILLUSTRATED LECTURES.

Comrades Robert and Thomas Knight
of Longmont are getting ready to start
out on tour to deliver two illustrated
lectures at each place they stop. The
picture shown in one lecture is the Evo-
luton of the Machine, which shows the
old method and the new in both farm
ing and factory production. The other
lecture is framed up in Milwaukee and
entitled Socialists at Work They will
be routed to any place that will procure
hall and advertise the meetings for
both nights. The local comrades must
furnish the entertainment for the
nights and then can either sell tickets
or take up collection and pay for the
hall rent out of the receipts. then turn
over one-half of the remainder to the
state Office. tt

RECORD AND ACCOUNT BOOKS.

Every Socialist branch and local
should secure the blank books that were
gotten up purposely for these organiza-
tions. The combination book for the
financial secretary costs $1.25 for 100
names; $1.75 for 200 names and $2.25
for 300 names. The space for each name
is good for two years account The
book for the recording secretary is only
rs cents, but il you already have a suit
able book to keep the minutes in you
can just order the combination book,
which contains both a cash book and
ledger and it makes the financial sec
retary the treasurer also.
Order them from the state office and
they will be sent postpaid to you. tt

DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL
CONVENTION.

1t has come to our notice that the at
tention of both members and especially
officials of the party must be called to
the provisions in both the national and
state constitutions of the party that in
order to be eligible for delegate a
member must have been a member con-
tinuously for two years and in this state
at least one year. So a person that has
been out of the party within two years
or out of the state party within the last
year cannot be a delegate.
1t should have stated this on the call
for nominations, the. same as you will
notice it is stated on the call for nom
nations for candidates for the woman's
national committee, that they must have
been a continuous member for three
years. Il

The national secretary, Comrade Work,
in his report in the monthly Bulletin for
January suggests the same thing In re
CARDS to special stamps for those unable
to pay dues. as is proposed by our New
Windsor local, except that Work proposes
that these shall be provided free by the
national office; that each local secre-
tary may make requisition from the state
office and the state secretary may make
requisition from International office, with
out any cost to either. except the print
ing by the latter. I know that New
Windsor did not know anything about
Comrade Works suggestion, as 1t was
not made when the local acted. but 1t Is
highly commendable and should be adopt
ed by our state whether 1t is adopted
nationally or not

ABOUT PARTY SUPPLIES.

The national office has experienced
some annoyance about orders for dues
stamps and supplies. the same as the
state office has. On January 18th the
national secretary has sent out the fol.
lowing notice: mo telegraphic order
will be filled unless the remittance is
also sent by telegraph. This privilege
which was intended only for emergencies
has been abused until 1t is serious in
convenience to our bookkeeping"
1t seems to be hard for some state sec
retaries, as well as some local secre-
taries to understand that 1t requires
much more care and time to keep
credit account extra, when the rule Is
cash payment for all such In the Socialist
party. The price list for ordinary sup
plies from the state office to an organ
ization is here printed 30 the secretaries
will please cut 1t out and paste 1t where
it can be referred to, SO 1t will stop writ
ing for things and say, Il don't remem-
ber the price," then not pay, but compel
the state office to deduct the amount
from some future remittance that you
sent for something else.
