NEW YORK, April 9.-Manager Connie
Mack emitted few thoughts on the ma
tional past.me while he tarried in Jersey
City, in which he gave vent and voice to
his opinion regarding the races in the
two leagues.
Connie felt that his team had a shade
on some of the other aggregations in his
own league and felt that with everything
equal the Giants ought to repeat their
1911 success in the National chase.
In discussing various and pertinent
matters, the leader of the worlds cham
pions said:
II can't see why the Athletics shouldn't
improve this year. They are good for
several years yet, I think. Just at pres
ent. though, we have Frank Baker and
Bris Lord lad up. Baker has wrenched
a RIB. ], understand. and there's a reason.
You see. wherever we've played this
spring che fans have expected Baker to
make a home run each time he has gone
to the plate.
Frank is an obliging chap and in try
ing to hit each ball over the fence he's
put himself on the shelf. Lord has "a
bruised wrist. Toots Schultz. the Phila-
delphia Nationals pitcher. hit him on the
wrist with the same kind of ball that
broke Sherwood Magee's arm. But Baker
and Lord will be with us shortly.
II am sure that we have picked up two
first-class pitchers. One is Byron Houck,
who shut out the Phillies the other day,
and the other is Carl Brown. Houck
comes from Spokane and Brown from
Waterbury. They are right-handers,
strongly built and know a lot about box
work. Egan, our new catcher, will make
good. We have an excellent outfielder in
Maggert from California Our regular
pitchers are in fine trim down south, 1
hear. and we'll have them with us in a
day or two.

with political capitalists. 1t is this class
of individuals that causes organized la
Dor to hesitate before entering upon a
campaign of political action
Second-The problem of the relation
ship of organized labor and Socialism.
There is in the ranks of organized labor
not few Socialists, whose loyalty to
the cause Socialism debars them from
political action through any other chan
mel of political preferment. The natural
result of this condition would mean a
breach in the ranks of organized labor
should the workers determine upon a
campaign of political action
These two problems must of neces-
sity be considered, and considered seri-
ously, before political action of any kim
is attempted by organized labor inde-
pendently. First, there must be an elm
ination of the men who would do the
bidding of the capitalistic bosses in an
endeavor to create a division in the
ranks of the workers. Fortunately, this
class of individuals are few. 1t would be
an easy matter to relegate them to the
trash heap, once the true trades union
lists make up their minds to fight the
battles of the workers in a sincere and
earnest battle of ballots -championing
the cause of Socialism debars them from
ing the special privileges of the few.

The Liquor Question Again.

A communication from the American Fedora
ton of Labor shows that there is agitation at this
time against the liquor traffic and at the time
there is agitation in the state of Colorado for
wide prohibition. While the A. F. of l.. is interest
ing itself in this problem, it will be interesting to
follow the proposed action along this line by Or
ganized Labor in the state campaign this fall.
The communication of the A. +. of l.. reads, in
part, as follows:
1t is not only the aim, but the trend, of our
movement to make men moderate and tenn
perate regarding the of intoxicants. Through
the influence of our movement the so-called labor
bureau, that is, the places where unemployed work
could seek employment, have been removed
from the drinking saloon, has also the place of
the payment of wages been removed from that in
huence.
Years ago saloon proprietors would give their
meeting rooms free offer bonus to such assoca-
tons of workmen could be induced to become
tenants. This rule often applied years ago to the
unions of labor. Gradually, but constantly, the
unions have sought meeting places in buildings in
which intoxicants not sae but despite their
best efforts sufcency of halls and meeting places
was not and is not available.

whether we have not the right to insist that

(By L. c. Herrington.)

The paramount issue with a consider
able number of the membership of the
Trades and Labor Assembly at this time
evolves around the advisability of organ
lied labor taking action along political
lines.
There is, of course, differences of
opinion upon this proposed action of the
assembly The reason for this differ
ence of opinion is very apparent; espe-
cially is it so when We consider the
status of organized labor as it really ex-
lists in the state of Colorado, and more
especially SO in the city of Denver.
Organized labor is confronted with at
least two very grave problems:
First-The problem of the individual
who seeks selfaggrandisement at the
hands of organized labor. which invari-
ably rebounds to the detriment of the
cause; he who would barter the infiu-
ence of labor that he himself might reap
the benefit and the cause of the workers
suffer through his treacherous dealings

OLD HOMESTEAD UNFAIR.
Trades Assembly Extends Support to the
Bakers In Organization Campaign.

The Denver local of the Bakery and
Confectionery Workers has called
strike OF its members working at the
Old Homestead bakery. The organiza-
ton took the matter up with the Trades
Assembly and asked that the arbitration
committee be instructed to secure an
adjustment OF the differences, II possi-
BILE. The committee took the matter in
hand and called upon the management
of the bakery. After several confer
ences. it was apparent that no agree
ment could be reached. The owner of
the bakery told the committee that he
would not consider making any change
in the way he was running his shop and
refused to further consider such prop
osition with the committee.
The committee. under instructions of
the assembly. which had given it power
to act. placed the bakery on the unfair
list, and Sunday the report was received
by the assembly and the action of the
committee concurred in
The secretary was asked to notify all
organizations of the action OF the as
sembly in placing the Old Homestead on
the unfair list, and the State Federation
was requested to take like action with
all organizations outside the city.
The assembly also instructed the or
ganization committee TO assist the
Bakers in every way possible in their
campaign against the unfair shop.
II is said by the Bakers that the Old
Homestead employs principally foreign
ers In producing the bakery goods Of
that establishment The Bakers scale
is very reasonable. and there is no rea-
son why the management should not
sign up with the organization.

The Labor day committee has decided
to hold its annual picnic and celebra-

decision was made by the committee at
the meeting Sunday morning. Chairman
Hines of the Trades Assembly commit
tee made the following report to that or
ganization at its last meeting:
Denver, Colo. July IS. 1912.
To the Officers and Members of the
Trades and Labor Assembly:
Your Labor day committee begs leave
to report that the arrangements for a
Labor day celebration are progressing
satisfactorily. Some difficulty has been
encountered in securing a suitable place
to hold our annual picnic. Everything
seemed favorable for holding it at Lake
side this year and contract was about
to be signed with this resort when the
United labor bulletin., 1912-08-01

committee was informed by Manager
Burt that the board of directors had de-
cided to have nothing to do with organ
lied labor on this day. 1t was next de-
cided that an out-of-town picnic would be
a success and it was decided to close a
contract with the Mt. Morrison Resort
Co.. but 1t was learned that II was doubt
full whether the committee would be al
lowed to sell refreshments of the de
sired kinds and il this could not be done
il would be unwise to go out of the city.
so this proposition was given up The
manager of the Tuileries then made the
committee better proposition than was
given last year and the committee drew
contract up and both parties signed II
and the picnic will be held at Tuileries.
Attractive features will be put on at this
resort and all are assured OF a good time
and plenty of amusement FOR their
money. With the assistance Of all union
men and women in the city the Labor
day celebration will be one OF the most
successful ever held. Reports from the
local unions so far received shows a
very large majority in favor OF parade.

People Should Pick Judges.

Why should the people allow the Bar associa-
ton to pick ''non-partisan" judiciary? What is
the Bar association?
The Bar association is made up of two classes
of attorneys: Those who corporation attorneys,
and those who desire that questionable honor. We
have among the lot bunch of young attorneys who
throw themselves upon the mercy of the judges for
whatever business that can be given them through
the unfortunate victims that brought into court
for trial who have no funds with which to secure
legal talent While each class desires to be friendly
the different judges it is clear that the Bar
citation is not the proper body to select courts of
Justice and it is up to the people to ignore the seec
tions of the Bar association and do the job them
selves. We must have a different Judiciary in the
future than we have had in the past.
