GET EIGHT HOURS.
C. F. & !. Miners Given Two Con-
cessi0ns Within a Week.

Beginning with Saturday. all the en-
ployes of the Colorado Fuel & Iron COM
pany in its mines in the southern part
OF the state will work only eight hours
a day. The change from the existing
system is. according to officers OF the
company, purely voluntary, and not In
fuenced in any way by the activities OF
union organizers. Approximately 5000
men are affected.
This is the second reform effected by
President welborn in the last few
weeks, the other being the abolition OF
scrip" which, after years of use. was
prohibited a short time ago.
Instead OF the familiar scrip the
company has substituted system OF
credit for its employees at the stores OF
the Colorado Supply company. one OF Its
subsidiaries. debts for purchases being
made in books and the overplus OF the
wage check being paid In cash.
Complaint had been made that the
miners were accustomed to turn In SCRIP
for liquor, and that rs result their
families were often deprived of the com
forts OF life while the liquor sellers
reaped n harvest Under the new plan
any employe OF the company who de
sires to buy liquor is obliged to pay for
II out OF the balance of his wages after
the deductions are made for supplies
purchased at the company store
II was said at the ONCE of the com
pany that the men employed In its mines
have been working only such hours al
they wished-that is. that they have In
no case been compelled to labor longer
than eight hours. The new rule makes
IL possible for them to earn fair wage
and any work deemed necessary by the
management will be paid for at over
time rates The company claims that
on the whole its miners have earned bet
ter pay than those in any mine in the
state and that they are contented-
Organizers OF the U. NJ w OF A have
been making an active campaign in the
southern nelds. and Il is said that these
Efforts are partially responsible for the
concessions made by the company.
United labor bulletin., 1913-02-27

Men prominent in the ranks of labor
are already advocating the candidacy of
different men, and it is expected that at
least two OF them will be selected. and
possibly three. A petition is now being
circulated by Henry M. Mum asking
that Otto F. Thum, now city clerk. be-
come a candidate for commissioner Of
public property. This place includes the
ohce OF city clerk and recorder, besides
all the trade inspectors, and labor be-
lieves that Mr.. Thum should become a
candidate and be elected to the place to
succeed himself. Labor will undoubted-
ly demand this place for Thum. John
McGauran, president of the board OF su-
pervisors, being out of a job under the
new form of government, is also q can
didate for the same place
The commissioner of safety will also
be contested for in a way that will make
many believe that labor wants some rec
ognitlon when it comes to filling thfs
place The commissioner of safety win
De the fire and police board, the sheriff
and the chief Of police. This il a place
that viii probably be of the greatest
benefit to labor should the Commissioner
De friendly. For this place Hamilton
Armstrong will most likely be the can
didate. He is an ex-member Of the
Bookbinders' union and an ex-president
OF the Trades and Labor assembly. He
mas served labor in different places, and
ms record makes him the candidate Of
the trade unions of the city, judgine
from the sentiment expressed in labor
circles petition is being circulated
asking him to become a candidate for
the place The petition is in charre OF
half dozen of his friends.
For the commissioner Of improve
ments Thomas Annear is prominently
mentioned as possible candidate. Mr..
Annear has long record favorable To
labor. and since his incumbency = com
missioner of supplies he has shown him
self more than friendly. He has juet
given the American Fuel company the
contract for furnishing coal to the CITY
when the bid was higher than that of
the Rocky Mountain Fuel company This
has been big feather in his cap in
labor circles. A man like Thomas An
near in the public improvement office
would guarantee that labor would be
Wei taken care of in that respect, say
many men in the labor world
But there will be opposition from
dozens of men for such place, and labor
must be wide-awake ia order that n
may accomplish results at this election.
Armstrong will be opposed by State
Senator Berry, a former union railroad
man. and Supervisor Sc Cheverel will
also run, will Sheriff Danny Sullivan
Not only will it be necessary to elect
the right kind of men, but there are
those that labor must defeat. Samuel
Baxter, president of the Baxter Printing
company, is a candidate for commits
sioner of finance. He has for years con-
Quoted the non-union printing once
named above. and he should be defeated
by every labor vote that is cast at the
polls.

PRESIDENT WILSON MAY NAME MITCHELL.

John Mitchell former president of the
United Mine Workers of America, and now
vice-president of the American Federation
of Labor, will probably be named one of
President Wilson's cabinet secretary of
labor. A bill making this position cab

has been put forward for the place by the
officers of the American Federation of

auspices of the Womans Trade Union
League His subject will be: Industrial
Accidents: Their Prevention and Compen-
sation to workmen for Losses Caused by
Them" In reading statistics we find that
$4,000 laborers are annually killed in this
country in industrial accidents, and this
fact is forcing upon the people demand
for some form of compensation The work
man cares little whether it is an employ
ers' liability law or a workmen's compensa-
ton act, but the great loss of life demands
that the dependents upon those injured
must be cared for. and the government
