SOCIALISTS RgPuDlArg OFFICERS.

The returns from the referendum vote
for the election of state officers of the
Socialist party show that the faction led
by State Secretary A H. F1oaten of Den.
yer has lost the principal offices and
that his administration of the party is to
be repudiated. The vote on secretary is
being taken and the indications point to
the election of Mrs Emma NJ. Langdon
of Denver over Floaten.
S. B. Hutchinson of Grand Junction
has been elected national committee
man. He resigned as chief of police be-
cause of his friendship for the Indus
trial Workers of the World. Ella Wal
lace of Loveland was elected state cor
respondent and the following members
of the state executive committee: Benz

ick Kaufman of Denver: George w.
Charette. Fort Collins, George A. Goold.
Canon City: Roderick Mackenzie. Silver

The national committeeman. CORE
spondent and the entire state executive
committee is anti-Floaten. The cam
paign against Floaten was waged by
George N Falsoner. editor of the Social
list paper, who finally was deposed. He
charged that Floaten preached the doc
trines of Socialism. denouncing the cor
porations. but at the same time rode on
railroad passes.
Falconer forced other officers of the
party to admit they had accepted passes
and also accused them of charging up
railroad fares when they had ridden on

INCREASE MINES BUREAU SCOPE

Washington.-Martin D. Foster, chair
man of the house committee on mines
and mining, in commenting on the bill
passed by the last Congress increasing
the scope of the bureau of mines, said
The bureau becomes a bureau of min
ing. metallurgy and mineral technology
The great purpose of this organization is
to better safeguard the lives of the men
enacted in this hazardous occupation and
to prevent the unnecessary waste of our
great national resources. The movement,
of which this new branch of the public
service is part. means to more than
100000 men engaged in the mining and
mineral industries of the country that
the federal government has at last recog-
nized their existence and is interested
in the improvement of the hazardous
conditions in which they live. This new
act means more for the safety of these
men than anything the federal govern
rIent has ever done. 1t will reduce tn ,
number of widows and orphans caused
by mine disasters.

To Oficers and Members of all Organ
lied Labor:
Dear Sirs and Brothers:
We wish to inform you that the strug-
gle is now on with the Coors' Golden
brewery. The struggle is caused by the
firm refusing to place the union label on
beer cases which are distributed in Den
yer and various localities. We wish to
inform our brothers that we have used
all efforts known for an honorable ad-
justment of this grievance, but the firm
has seen fit to refuse our request, and
we cannot as union men consent to give
up this fight until our label is placed on
each and every case leaving the Coors
bottling shop.
We wish to inform our brothers that
this is not strike, lockout nor boycott,
but just and peaceable struggle for the
most sacred part of organized labor,
which is the union label.
Brothers, we are not asking for finan.
cial assistance, but are appealing to you
for your moral support by demanding
the union label on each and every case
and all packages containing bottled
beer. With your moral support we feel
confident of satisfying the Coors Brew.
ing Co. of their desire as they have re.
peatedly told -our committee that we
should show the firm our fight, also stat.
ing that IL we desire the union label on
the cases, we will have to fight for same
The firm also states the union label is
nuisance, humbug, and furthermore
states that they were fighting it since
they were in business. which is for
thirty years or more
We appeal to you, all members of or
ganized labor and friends. to join hands
with us in this struggle for the union
label and our efforts will be crowned
with success. We also appeal to your
organization to read this communication
at each and every meeting as long as
the struggle lasts, SO as to remind each
and every member from time to time
for the more moral support you can give
us the more grateful we will feel toward
you all.
Thanking you in advance, we remain
Yours fraternally.
