Trinidad Meeting
May Not Elect
Referendum System to Be
Recommended
Local Committee Preparing to Give
Visitors Good Time---Some
of the Candidates

One OF the most important matters
to come before the eighteenth annual
convention of the Colorado State Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor, which meets at Trim
idad, August is, will be a proposed
change in the method of electing off,
GERS. At the Cripple Crek convention
last year the delegates voted in favor
of referendum system of election and
instructed the Executive Board to pre-
pare a plan for submission to this
years meeting.
This has been complied with and
ii is understood the board will recon
mend change in the law SO that can
didates will be placed in nomination.
at Trinidad and the election by refer
endum to be held about six week later
Ii is expected this matter will come
up under reports of officers and if
adopted will eliminate the scramble
for Office on the floor of the conven
ton. Many OF the smaller unions af-
filiated with the Federation have been
insisting on the adoption of this plan
because they are unable to be repre-
sented at the annual conventions, and
thus have heretofore had no voice in
the selection of officers.
Secretary Hickey has made applica-
tion to the railroads for reduced rate
en- all lines to Trinidad. An answer
is expected in a few days. He also
states that from the way credentials
are coming into his office, the attend
ance of delegates will be the largest
in the history of the state labor body.
The local committe at Trinidad is
making great preparations for enter
tanning the delegates and visitors.
Deiegates representing various un-
ions vii have an opportunity to do
some good missionery work for their
organizations in the southern part OF
the state. and the influence for good
upon the labor movement in that sec
tion is bound to be effective.
Up to this time the only ayowed
candidates are Ed Anderson, Pueblo

Laundry Combine
Must Face Court
Thirty-Four Members Each
Give $500 Bond
Grand Jury Investigation Brings to
Light Combination to Boost Prices
and Reduce Wages

Thirty-four members OF the Laun-
drymen's Association in Denver have
been indicted by the grand jury for
forming an illegal combination, and
will be tried at the September term
of the District Court. A bond in the
sum of $500 was given by each of the
indicted men. The report stated that
since a consolidation of the principal
laundries, May 1, of this year, prices
had been boosted from Is to 100 per
cent, and small laundries not in the
trust had been forced to charge these
high rates or quit business. A SINH
lar local combine in 1908 was forced
tc disband by order of the court.
One charge in the indictment which
shows the power exercised by the
trust, reads as follows:
THAT, in pursuance of the conspif-
acy, the defendants compelled all laun-
dry drivers to enter into and sign an
agreement that they would not make
charges for laundry work at any
prices lower than the agreed schedule.
nor would they accept as new custom
ers any person already a patron OF
any company associated with the COM
bination. Nor can these drivers ac-
cept employment from any other men,
Der of the association"
Notwithstanding the great increase
paid by customers, there was no dispo-
sition Shown to advance wages, many
girls being compelled to work for 81
and SIS per week.

and as the evidence presented to the
grand jury is reported to have been
absolutely convincing, a large number

Trades Assembly Takes Hand.
In addition, it is charged members
of the Laundrymen's Association have
paid scant heed to the women's eight
hour law. This phase of the question
is being investigated by committee
from the Trades and Labor Assembly.
Members Of the Assembly are sale
to have visited different laundries and
found girls working from nine to ten
hours per day.
If the report of the committee next
Sunday bears out these charges, infor
nations will be filed against the vio-
lators under the state law, and it will
be up to the district attorney to prose-
cute them in the courts.

Brake Investigates
Canning Factories
COMPLAINTS COME FROM LONG
MONT AND GREELEY.
No Serious Violations of Eieht-hour
Law Found, But Wage Condi-
tons Are at a Low Ebb.

Deputy Labor Commissioner Edwin
V. Brake returned to Denver Wednes-
day after investigating complaints
eminating from the canning district
in the northern part of the state.
1t had been charged the Empson
company. which operates factories in
Greeley, Longmont and Loveland,
was violating the women's eisht-hour
law. Mr.. Brake told The Bulletin
that in Greeley eighty-five girls, all
over 16 years of age, were employed;
that there had been no violations OF
the law. there. In Loveland in one
or two instances when peas had come
from the heating vat and would spoil

that in one instance he lost 5000
worth of peas prepared for canning
in order to let the force off within
the eight hours. At Longmont los
girls are employed and about an equal
number at Loveland, all being resi-
dents of those cities. The wages
paid are 1915 cents per hour, making
81 for a days work. Before the eight
hour law went into effect 10 cents
per hour was paid, and the girls

other shift goes on at p. m, so that
e part of the day double shift is on
duty.
Commissioner Brake said: q found
the sanitary. ventilating and lighting
conditions highly satisfactory. Each
girl is provided with stool. so she
need not stand unless she so elects.
l do not think the wages paid are
adequate for the work. but this de-
partment cannot regulate this feature.
Another matter suggested should be
changed is that under a rule adopted
by the company no employee who is
discharged or quits the job can re-
ceive pay except on the 5th and goth
of the month. Employees accepting
work are required to sign a contract
to this effect. When an employe is
discharged or voluntarily quits, pay
ment for services rendered should be
made at once. Mr.. Empson. who. by
the way, was one of the strongest op-
ponents of the women's eight-hour
law, stated he had been pleasantly
surprised at the operation of the law
and had not found it near so hard to
observe as had been anticipated"
