Making Fight for
Minimum Wage
Commissioner Hunter Will
Revoke Contracts
Public Institutions Committee Of Trades
Assembly Active in the
Campaign

In the report OF the committee on
public institutions to the Trades and
Labor Assembly last Sunday, is shown
the active interest being taken by the
working people of Denver to see that
the laws concerning the payment of
a minimum wage for all work done
for the city is strictly enforced.
The workers consider that the min
imum wage of $3.50 per day for labor
ers is none too much. On the con-
trary, they say it is too small an
amount to provide for the necessary
comforts of a man with a family OF
four or five persons.
There is a clause in every contract
per day shall be the minimum wage
paid for work performed in executing
that contract. There can, therefore,
be absolutely no excuse for any con-
tractor not knowing the wages he
must pay for labor, if he will only
read the contract he must sign before
he is awarded the same.
Commissioner Hunter has made the
promise that he will declare void any
contract when evidence is produced
showing that the contractor is yiolat-
ing the law requiring that not less
than $3.50 per day shall be paid for
all labor done for the city.
Organized labor will use every ef-
fort to see that this, as well as other
laws affecting hours and wages are
strictly enforced.
When firm refuses to pay the
scale of wages provided for by law,
and at the same time make no denial
of the violation, it is the duty of the
authorities to declare the contract for
feited- IN this way it would only be
short time until contractors would
learn to abide by the law.
1t is a good sign to see that the
workers are energetic in seeing that
laws passed for their benefit are en-
forced.
AT the same meeting the legislative
committee reported diligent efforts
were being made to have the eight
hour law for women enforced.

The governor is not TO be deceived
by these fake" attacks, and he is hav-

tigate each case of violence and
special reports are being made TO
him. While the governor continues
to take this stand the citizen and the
striking miner will be treated fair

remain quiet, or as quiet as could be
expected in a district populated by
emigranus from every country in
Europe and Asia.
The average citizen should marvel
at the wonderful control exerted over
these men of all nations by the Off

is one of the largest strikes ever

affected is quieter than when there

President Attacked
Painters Behind Unfounded
Charges
Committee Appointed to Look Into the
Matter and Repor-Friction
Regretted

Considerable feeling was created by
the communication from the Painters
Union at the Trades Assembly Sun
day, in which President Vessel
was cen3uTed for an alleged attempt
to shield George Irving. house man
ager for the Painters club. who the
Painters Union claims defrauded that
organization out of monies that are
alleged 10 belong to the organization
II appears that Irving was charged In
a justice court with forgery for hav-
ing signed the name of the Painters
union to checks offered in payment
for rent OF the Painters hall by other
organizations and having banked
them In his personal account Irving
cleaimed that he had been In the
habit OF doing this and later. when
there was a meeting OF the house COM
mittee. turning the money over to
them through his personal check. The
Painters officials claimed that he
had not been in the habit OF SO bank
ing the checks.
President Vessel is accused OF
shielding Irving by assisting him in
proving that he had previously en-
dorsed checks and banked them: and
II was chained by the Painters Of
ficials that President Vessel took
Irving to the cigarmakers' headquar-
tiers to get evidence with which to
prove his innocence.
when the communication was read,
President Vessel vacated the chair.
and Vice President Lavoe being
delegate from Painters union. Secre-
tary Welsh took the chair. Delegate
Conkle objected to considering the
communication. The objection was
declared in order by the chair. and
Delegate Mum appealed from the de.
cision OF the chair. but lost a vote OF
20 TO Il. The chair then asked for
vote upon the objection TO eonsid-
ering the communication. but on ae-
count OF the way the chair put the
question il was not clear as to how
the delegates should vote to sustain
the objections. and a few voted against
sustaining the objections and none to
sustain the objections. and the
charges went to a trial committee
consisting of Delegates Common.
chairman: Herrington. Compton. Bull
ger and Louderbach.
President Vessel does not deny
that he assisted Irving to get informa-
ton TO clear himself OF the forgery
charge. and the cancelled checks OBJ
tanned from the cigarmakers' head
quarters prove the contention Of
Irving that he had previously en-.
dorsed many checks. Irving was ac-
quilted of the charge. but later held
on another count charging larceny.
The committee met Tuesday even
ing to consider the charges aginst
President Vessel. and IT is believed
that the committee will report that
there were absolutely no grounds for
the charges against the president.

Weather Crop Bulletin

For the week ending June s,
1918. With the exception If
heavy local rains in a few local.
tiles and the col weather dur
ing the two last days. the past
week was ideal for farm work
and the growth of vegetation.
The average temperature was
very nearly the normal, and
over the larger part of the state
the rainfall was much less than
the seasonable average. A
torrential downpour occurred in
Poweshiek county on Friday
afternoon, which did a great
deal of damage to crops, rail-
roads and other property. At
Grinnell. a Is inches of rain fell
between 3 p. m. a nd 6 p. m.
The bulk of the corn is planted,
and much of it has been culti-
waited once. There is, however
some low land which is still too
wet to pillow or plant. The late
planting is coming strong and
is growing rapidly. Small
grain is getting rank, too rank
in fact for heavy yields. A
large hay crop is assured, and
pastures are in excellent con-
dition. In many sections plums
did not set we'll, but apples and
small fruits are still promising.
Following is a summary
showing average condition of
crops on June LIST, as compared
with the average of past years
on that date: corn 80 per cent;
oats, barley and rye, IS; spring
wheat, "a; winter wheat, SO;
