organised labor was more than Wel-
coined In the state. and that many
batties that It strived for for years
have been won. He hoped that our
visitors would enjoy q pleasant and
profitable visit to the state and that
anything that he or his office could do
to assist in this would be only too
gladly and cheerfuTly done
Edwin v. Brake, state labor COM
missioner. was then introduced as an
old member OF organized labor, a
union blacksmith and carriage work
er, who has the enforcement of labor
laws and who has done more to curb
the corporations and gain fair play
and Justice for labor than any other
man, a man who took hold of the la
Dor bureau when it had one employe
only, and had built 1t up until now It
numbered nineteen employees
Mr.. Brake complimented the del
egates upon their fine appearance and
number: 1t was inspiring to address
such a gathering of labor people, He
heartily welcomed them to this state
and wished that every delegate would
visit the state capitol building during
their stay in Denver. so that he could
explain to them what the labor de-
partment was trying to do for the
working people Of the state
Enforce Labor Laws
II Is useless to have labor laws un-
less they were enforced and his de-
partment was working hard to see
that every labor law on the statute
book was enforced so that the wage
Garner shall receive the protection
that the laws were made for. Very
little complaint came from the organ
ixed workers, because as q rule they
were well able to take care OF them
selves. but 1t is the unorganized meu
and women that need protection. and
It Is his conviction that something
more must be done to bring the un-
Organized workers into the fold Of or
eanixed labor-it Is the salvation OF
the waxe-earners- He hoped that this
convention would enact such legisla
tion that viii bring every worker Who
is under the jurisdiction Of this inter
national union into the body that has
done 50 much to benefit those, rot
only who are now members. but every
man or woman that works In the ho-
tells and restaurants and saloons In
the country. He again wished them q
pleasant visit to Colorado and assured
them of hearty welcome to the
state
