REALLY OLD FASHION

Nothing New About the Mueh-DIs

Grafton Of Good Dressers.

Women that, in obedience to fash
lon, sport high standing feather on
coiffure or bonnet, and thus are a
nuisance in public places where spec
tators behind them would like to see
the stage, are merely initiating their
English sisters of the eighteenth CEN
tury. Some one wrote in the Times
Of 1875: "At all elegant assemblies
there Is room set apart for the
ladies to don their feathers, as 1t is
impossible to wear them in any car
riage with top. The lusters are also
removed on this account, and the
doors are carried up to the ceiling.
A well dressed lady who mods with
dexterity can give friend little
tap upon the shoulder across the room
without incommoding the dancers.

In Berlin the number Of men be-

In Greater Berlin the figures are TO-

number Of men between eighty and

Lady Jockeys" promise to be a
regular feature of races in France,
but the woman cab driver, the femme
cocher." is disappearing from the
streets Of Paris. Six years ago there
were at least 100; now there are only
six or seven, and of these all but one
will soon disappear. The survivor
says that at first men rushed for
cabs driven by women, and gave gen.
erous tips, but that was when the
woman cab driver was celebrated
In song and in the revue. Then came
neglect. This reminds US that about
half century ago Mrs. Cuyler of
London was known as the "Cabman's
Terror" for she knew the distance
between any two points and handed
the exact fare. And now there is q
woman in London who is accused Of
this hobby: She takes taxicabs and
compels the drivers to sue her for
their fares.
The hobby of certain swell women
in Paris is more amiable one. They
make shoes. The Daily Chronicle
says that this a reversion to a Lon
don mania Of over a century ago.
Mrs. Charles Calvert wrote in her
diary on May 4. 1908: "I begin a new
science today-shoemaking. 1t is all
the fashion. l had master with me
for about two hours, and l think

LADIES rAlLoRs' UNION ACTIVE.
Representative Meyer Rosenberg Pays
Visit to Denver.

Secretary Joe Bergrow of Ladies
Tailors' Union No. AZ reports this or
ganization to be in thriving condi-
ton At the last meeting National
Representative Meyer Rosenberg of
Toledo. Ohio was present and made
an interesting address on the obliga-
ton members take in joining the
union. He also told of the great strike
of the Cloak Makers Union in Phil
adelphia. which has been on five
months. involving $4,000 workers. He
urged that financial aid be given these
loyal members fighting for Justice
The Denver union has started sub
scription for this purpose. and those
wishing to assist may send contribu-
tions to the secretary at 1880 Lowell
Boulevard.
Mr.. Rosenberg is a delegate from
the International Ladies Garment
Workers to the A. F. of l.. convention
ut Seattle. He will probably stop in
Denver on his return trip and hold n
public meeting. During the past year
this International union gained 10000
new members.

TwIcE-A-moNTH PAY DAY
viii Redeem City Employees From
Grip OF Loan Sharks.

Commissioner of Finance Clair j.
Pitcher and Auditor James F. Markey
are determined that assignment of
salaries OF city employees to loan
sharks shall cease At Mondays meet
of the City Council Commissioner
Pitcher introduced an ordinance pro-
viding for semi-monthly pay days for
all payrolls.
This matter had been taken up by
the Trades and Labor Assembly, and
II was discovered that while law en-.
acted by the last Legislature limited
small loans to per cent n month, the
law is being evaded by practically
every money lender in Denver.
The twice-a.month pay check will
prove great benefit to city employees
and relieve the financial strain under
which many OF them have been la,
boring.

wage scale between the Laundry

women and some increase in wages
is provided. A.
The New Method and Yale laun-
dries have been consolidated and will
hereafter be known as the Yale Laun-
dry Company, and employ union
workers.
Fifteen new members were added to
the roster of Laundry Workers Union

ganization is reported to be progress
ing in fine shape.

Denver would patronize union laun-
dries, employment would be given to

The Song Of the System
BY THOMAS I1YDER.

BY THOMAS HYDER.
written United Labor Bulletin)
Lo, am Chief of the Clans of Greed
Lord Of the Ancient Lures.
By tdWtess greed and gripping need
Ny RdUenOus reign endureS
make ye the pawn of a fearsome creed,
And mock your mournful estate.
SOW the seed of the dragon s breed
And suckle the wolves of hate.
loosen the harpies to harry the wise
Who challenge my mad misrule,
And build my throne thousand lies
That compass the faith Of a fool
This is the law of the Ancient Wrong,
That each shall cleave to his
That the battle shall be to the strong
The to the swift alone.
And none shall pity his neighbor's plight
And direct the FOOL
The standard of might shall measure the right
And cunning alone shall rule
This is the tcord the cise hare heard
Poet, martyr and seer,
Sick unto death tch hope deferred-
Song Of the ancient Fear.
Long we have borne with the Evil Thing
Harried and sick and
Beating the gates that inward swing,
And the inward opening door
Herded like swine in a sinking sty-
Beauty and Wisdom and Brawn
With a glimpse of the sunset sky
And never glimpse of dawn.
We pay the cost of a gluten feast
In tribute of field and mart
We pipe and dance for a Baal priest
The dance of the broken heart.
We toll in the kilns and moil in the mills
We wrestle with wind and wave;
We girdle the and sift the hills
For the wage of a pauper's grave
4 stdrless sea aud a chaos land.
Cursing poison and bdne-
With pllsaDot from Mercy's hand
In tho soundless depths Of pain
Choose We the best of Adams breed
Lithesome and bold and strong
For gripping Greed and lawless Need
Keep watch for the Ancient Wrong.
And the Evil Thing the Prophets spake
Is Lord of a million thralls.
And coward bondsmen cringe and quake
Within their prison walls
There is need of the runner swift and strong,
And the hurting of fire
OF the winged pen-the heartenng song
And the poet 5 kndling Tyre.
When the shceted fears of n thousand years
Shall troop the field of death,
And the Evil Thing of blood and tears
Shall yield its last faint breath.
Read nte The riddle the prophets spake
U dumb and Sightless htrdLs
E're a million branded 5oHdSnen break
From ont their prison icdlls.
