Brick Makers Strike.

Brick, tile and terra-cotta workers
in two brick yards in Denver, walked
out last Friday morning in strike
which threatens to close each and
every brick yard of that city.
The two yards where the strike is
in effect are the Denver Pressed
Brick Co, and the ColfaX Pressed
Brick company. Between 40 and so
men are affected at each plant.
One thing that should work in ia
vor of the strikers, and which is the
policy of the American Federation, is
the fact that the burners, in charge
of kilns, filled with fresh bricks did
not walk out until the bricks were
thoroughly burned. and thus incurred
no loss to the companies; they stop
ped work as soon as the kilns were
emptied.
The laborers, most of whom are
skilled, ask an increase of 25c per
day, which they received up until a
year ago. The minimum wage now
paid is 50 per day.
The yard managers say the advance
is prohibitive, and that they will not
grant the increase. The strikers say
that if the advance is not granted
they will call out every yard employe
in Denver in a sympathetic strike.

Attacks Minimum
Wage for Women

Prof. J. Laurence Laughlin, head
of the department of political econ
omy at the University of Chicago, has
published an attack on the movement
for minimum wage legislation for
women, and says it is unsound and
directly opposed to the best interests
of women workers.
In all this agitation" says Prof.
Laughlin, for minimum wage for
women. which is serving to give much
public notoriety, there is no connec-
ton between labor, wages and pro-
ducing power The chief ideas of the
sponsors of the movement is that
wages should be based on what the
recipient needs to live properly. But
the facts of daily life show that girls
who are not actually worth the min
imum wages, let us say-would
not be employed. The true and i'm
mediate remedy for low wages for
girls is the creation of institutions
for industrial training, thus increas-
ing the earning power of the girls
and conserving their wages
Doubtless the professor is right,
and the training would help the en-
ployer However take the laundry
workers for instance, can industrial
training any better help an ironing
girl, or machine tender; and would
they receive any more wages as the
result of the industrial training. Can
they iron any faster or any better.
No law that we have heard OF but
worked some injustice on some one,
but it is for the people as whole
that the laws are created.

FRY'S ARTICLE IS
COMMENTED ON

Mr. Walter Walker, Editor Sentinel:
Dear Sir-There appeared in your
issue of the 18th instant a letter by
John II. Fry, under the heading
How Grand Junction Votes" in
which Mr.. Fry very laboriously fig
ures out an improbable impossibility
OF the VIII of the majority being de-
feated, under our present system of
voting.
MIR. Fry might have said all that
he did say in a few brief sentences.
BY dropping the low man, at the
end of the first choice count, it is
POSSIBLE that the man so dropped,
had he been retained in the counting
of the second choice votes. would
nave received a clear majority of all
of the votes east. 1t thus becomes
apparent that, by so dropping him,
the will of the majority MAY be de
feated.
But why does Mr. Fry, after having
called attention to this defect in our
present system, suggest the easy and
infallible cure? Would he have us
infer that our remedy is to return to
the old method, under which the de-
feat of the will of the majority was
as often the rule as the exception?
So far, Grand Junction has never
suffered under this exposure, but
should 1t be deemed prudent to safe
guard against les possibility. let 1t be
done by amending our present sys-
TEN by repeating that provisions for
dropping the low man at the end of
any count.
So amended. the present system
would be ideal; in that it would in
