Plan to Promote Purchase
Products Bearing Union Label

Inducing union labor men and wom-
end to purchase union label products
ought to be an easy matter. but often
proves the reverse, Here in Denver
the Union Label League and recently
n special agitating committee have
been working along this line.
Milwaukee unionists have adopted
plan that has brought good results.
During the early part of the year the
union label departments of the central
body inaugurated campaign of la
bel agitation and education which has
been the most effective of any method
ever adopted there. The results have.
been even beyond expectation. The

Giants Of Labor and Capital
Now Contending in Colorado

The issue in the struggle in the
coal fields of Colorado can be stated
in just four words: the right to organ
ize" said Eusene V. Debs, several
times candidate for President of the
United States on the Socialist ticket
and leading labor leader of the coun-
try. who has been in Denver to lend
any aid he could to the striking coal
miners.
THAT is absolutely all there is to
it," continued Mr.. Debs," The rest is
of comparative unimportance and
would virtually adjust itself This
same issue has been fought out be
tween the miners and operators in
practically every coal producing state
in the union. The conflict began in
the anthracite fields of PENNSYLVANIA
over forty years ago and has continued
until the present time.
in the course of this industrial war
fare some fierce and sanguinary con-
fiicts have ensued Thousands of
lives and millions of treasure have
been sacrificed. But great as this
sacrifice of blood and property has
been the results have justified 1t all.

In each and every instance when the
smoke OF battle has cleared away and
this issue, involving the right of the
toilins masses to organize for their
mutual good. has been finally deter
mined. it has been determined to the
interests of the miners and against
the operators.
The last great battle in the long
and bloody series is now being fought
so far as the miners are concerned.
In this battle both sides have the sup
port of the most powerful resources
at their command. The operators
have behind them the standard OIL
trust. the Steel trust and the Smelter
trust and their steel bank vaults in
Wall street. The miners have the
backing of the United Labor forces OF
the entire nation. The final outcome
is to the keen student not in doubt for
a single moment. The right of the
miners TO organize and maintain their
union and carry forward their work

500 delegates, representing 400 labor
organizations. will be present
This convention will consider and
act upon the matter of all laboring
people in Colorado ceasing work un-
til the coal strike is settled.
This question has been thoroughly
discussed for several weeks in every
industrial center OF the state and the
workers are now prepared to act
The defiant attitude of the big
Three" operators and the failure of
Governor Ammons to enforce the
mining laws of the state or take any
vigorous action looking to restoration
of peace, are reasons given for call
ing this convention. The fight Of the
miners is looked upon as the crucial
test of all branches of labor being
driven to accept any terms that may
be stipulated by so-called captains OF
industry.
With working people being impris-
oned by a military court on the slight
est pretext, or none at all: foreign
strikebreakers being imported in the
guise of recruits for the state militia:

structions OF government authorities
and obeying commands of the coal op-
orators. the working people of Colo

representatives and assert their rights

Governors Promises Repudiated.
The striking miners In the southern
field have this week taken a refer
endum vote on returning to work
upon the promise or Governor Am
mons to enforce the mining laws pro-
vided they went back to the mines,
leaving out the question of union rec
ognition and wage scale. The vote as
returned to headquarters in Denver
shows that the governors proposition
was unanimously rejected. Many of
the unions also demand that peti-
ton be circulated for recall of the
governor and Adjutant General Chase.
Cruel experience of these miners is
that promises of the governor and coal
operators will avail nothing to them
in better conditions unless union res
ognition places them in position to en-.
force laws that chosen state officials
| ignore.

in Denver and he is expected to re-
new his arbitration proposition. for
