are known to be dead and other
bodies are believed to be in the ruins
of the Salvation Army Industrial
Home, destroyed by fire shortly after
midnight.
The fire was the second during the
night. The first blaze was discovered
early in the evening and was extin-
guished. The second fire was dis
covered by WaIly Mayer, a member of
the Chicago White Sox baseball team,
who turned in the alarm and then
rushed into the blazing building and
rescued eight children at the risk of
his own life.
According to one of the officers,
there were 1873 men, women and chill
dren in the place when the blaze
started and many of these are unac-
counted for.
The building was in thickly set
tied tenement district and many ex-
citing rescues were made by firemen
and volunteers. Nearly a dozen of
those rescued were overcome with

LABOR DAY EDITIONS

This years crop of souvenir Labor
Day editions of representative labor
papers has been the best ever. 1t
is good indication, for it not only
shows growing strength and influence
of the organized labor movement, but
increased confidence of the business
and commercial world with the labor
press as a most direct agency for
reaching the best circulating medium.
The class of speacial features in these
papers was way above the average
and form a compendium for reference
invaluable to those who wish to keep
abreast of what is really worth while
in the industrial world. Never before

NoN-uNIoN MEN GO ON STRIKE
Charge Short Weight on Coal and
Overcharge at Store.

Twenty-one non-union men en-
ployed in the Mitchell mine at Laf-
ayette. in the Northern Colorado coal
fields, have gone on strike. Cutting
down of wages and compelling en-
ployes to trade at the company store
and pay exhorbitant prices was re-
sponsible for the walkout.
Mike Saymoof started the trouble
by kicking on short weights given
himself and other miners on the coal
they dug. 1t seems that he and five
companions had been working at the
mine for sixteen days and that at the
time the trouble occurred had just
eight dollars coming. They had mined
as cars of coal and had been given
credit for 40 tons. They should have
had in the neighborhood of $100 but
received only eight.

INDECENCY OF WOMEN

Denver is no exception to the rule
when the vulgar dress of women is
concerned. Here in the Queen City
of the Plains they parade along the
most freuuented thoroughfares for the
sole purpose of disclosing as much OF
their anatomy as tie law allows, and
more frequently stress the point than
not. They disgust decent men and dis
credit their own sex. X-ray skirts,
low front V-shape waists and knee
slits are worn because they are said
to be the latest French" fashion.
In a current issue of Golfers week
ly, Edward Box has this to say of in
decent dressing:
During the past five years in par
ticular the Paris dressmakers have,
step by step, shown the steady degen-
Grafton of their waning art in the So
called Paris styles" which they have
sent over here. Each year the tend
ency to lower the standards has be-
come more strongly marked. But 1t
must be said to the credit of the
French lgentlewoman that b s g
styles are neither indorsed nor worn
by her. She scorns them with con-
tempt They are the creations of the
disordered minds of French dress
makers who have lost all sense OF
art and decency, have become pure
commercialists, and who, laughing in
their sleeves at the American women.
are, as one of the greatest of them
recently said, seeing how far they
can go in making damn fools of the
American women No Frenchwoman
of the slightest refinement wears
these styles; they are the hall mark
of the women of the French under
world that frequent the Paris boule-
wards and the French race courses.
AS Nine. Sarah Bernhardt said upon
her last visit to America, it was
perfect amazement to her to see ap-
parently decent American women
dressed like the demimonde of Paris
