BARRIERS

Secretary j. E. Connolly, member of
the national executive board; Delegates
T. o. Spacy and G. E. Burns of the
local union, left this week for 1ndianap-
oils to attend the Journeymen BARRIERS
International Union of America conven-
ton which meets there next Tuesday
for two weeks session.
During the absence of Secretary Con-
nelly Business Agent w. F. Evans OF
the Machinists' Union, whose offices are
together in the Club building, is col
lecting dues and attends to assigning
members to jobs in response to calls.
The story comes from Butte that a
union barber of that city (they are all
union there, by the way) refused to
shave a member of the militia who had
been shipped into that city in an effort
to break up the remnants of the miners
union still existing after the memora-
BILE days of last June. As a result OF
his refusal the barber has received a
sentence of 80 days in the guard house.
1t is related that the barber very cour-
teously told the tin soldier who had
come into his shop that his trade was
among union men exclusively, most Of
them miners, and if he served the SOL
diers he would lose his trade. The bar
ber was Immediately hailed before the
courtmartial and charged with insult
ing the American flag" together with a
number of other charges. What refus-
ing to shave a tin soldier has to do
with insulting the American flag is more
than the civilian mind can grasp, but
the uniformed ribbon clerks who are Of
ficers of the Montana National Guard
were able to establish a clear connec-
tion in what passes for their minds,
and condemned the barber to 30 days
at hard labor.

News of the Labor Unions
Cigarnakers

Two hundred cigarmakers, strippers
and packers were given two weeks
layoff at the Soils factory last Satur-
day. 1t was given out that the scare
over statewide prohibition possibly car
rying had caused dealers to stop orders
until present stocks are exhausted.
Closing of saloons in the northern and
southern strike districts by order oil
Governor Ammons, under authority
given him at the special session OF the
Legislature, has also greatly curtailed
demand for cigars.
Refreshments will again be served at
the meeting next Tuesday pight in com
pliance with terms of the will of the
late Bro. Jack w. Behrle.
During the month of September four
travelling cards were deposited with Sec
retary j. w. Sanford and ten with
drawn.
Another effort made to bring about
an amalgamation of the Clgarmakers

ers' League at conference held in
Cleveland. Ohio, last week, between rep
resentatives of both bodies, including
President Gompers of the A. F. OF l..
and Charles Huggins, first information
al president OF the Stogiemakers'
League, from Wheeling, w. Va, result
ed in success. It was decided to merge
the National Stogiemakers' League with
the Cigarmakers' International Union.
The plan adopted by the conference
must be ratified by referendum vote
of the two organizations and becomes
effective August Is, 1915. All stogie-
makers who are in good standing in the

United Laborers

About 400 members, friends and spe-
cialiy invited guests attended the open
meeting, rally and social session of
convention hall of the Building Trades
Club on Arapahoe street, Tuesday night
There was speaking, vaudeville, with
plenty of eats, drinks and smokes to en-
tertain the big crowd Candidates for
Congress, state and legislative offices
were tpresent in considerable number,
and some of them had an opportunity
to address the meeting. John D. Sal
mond; president of the union, presided
and acted as master of ceremonies, as
sisted, by the other officers. The eff
cient committee of arrangements con.
sisted of Bros. Hogan, Wright, Bronson,
Gum, Kerstine and Garlick. City Com
missioners Alexander Nisbet, Clair j.
Pitcher and John B. Hunter were there,
as were also heads of several city de-
partments. Among the candidates who
spoke, were Atterson w. Rucker, indie
pendent candidate for Congress; Roady
Kenehan for state treasurer, Edwin V.
Brake for secretary of state, Edward V.
Dunklee and r. p. Means for the Legis-
lature. Several clever vaudeville per-
formers volunteered their services and
kept the assemblage in jolly humor
while the committee passed around the
beer, sandwiches and cigars. 1t was pro-
nounced one of the most successful af-
fairs ever held by any local union in
this city and was the means of extend
ing the era of good will among men.

Bill Posters

Since being organized about three
months ago the local Bill Posters Union
No. SO has made splendid progress.
Practically all of the men engaged in
this industry in Denver have become af-
filiated and the meetings held at 10
a. m; the first and third Sundays in
the Building Trades Club, 1871 Arap
ahoe street are well attended, and an
efficient set of officers is in charge.
At the last meeting it was reported
that contracts with the local union have
been signed by the Thomas Cussack
Company at 1910 Curtis street for
merly the Curran Company, the
Orpheum and Denham theaters. 1t was
stated that other outdoor advertising
concerns would probably sign up in the
near future This is great victory
for the new union, as the Cussack Com
pany is the largest institution of its
kind in the West, and by agreeing to
union terms will be the means of in
fluencing all the other billboard COM
panies in this city to do the same.

Horseshoers

John H. Moore, 40 years old, who con-
Quoted a union blacksmith and horse
shoeing shop at sos West Colfax avenue,
committed suicide Wednesday by firing
a revolver bullet through his left tenn
pie. Separation from his wife and her
announced intention of sueing for di-
vorce is believed to have caused Moore
to commit the act He left note de-
claring that his life had been mistake
and was tired of it.
A two-year agreement has been
signed by horseshoers and their en-
ployers in Evansville, Ind. No strike
can be called or lockout enforced during
the life of the contract, which provides
for a nine-hour day and So per day for
floormen and 1925 for firemen and fire
and floormen. Overtime and Sunday
work, 60 cents an hour. In the event
of employers raising the price of horse
shoeing the minimum wage shall be
$3.50 day. Only members of the union
are to be employed. Arbitration and
apprentice regulations are agreed to.

Stage Employees

The fall and winter theatrical season
for stage employees may be said to be
now fully open, except the National,
which has so far only given one per-
formance but will soon kick in with
German plays in both German and
American. We therefore bring to the
attention of the German labor move
ment that this is to be a strictly union
theater.
F. R. Alexander of the Glitch squad
has become a real busy person since re-
turning to the city of lights. He is car
penter of the National, also the Audi
torium, and in his spare time becomes
valued assistant to Superintendent
Akers.a
The flymen at the Tabor are having
a rattling time on production day. -Four
carpenters on the floor, each speaking
different language and all talking at
the same time. If the hemp strangers
live through the season they are real
good men, that's all.
The Empress athletes are doing swim
mingly with the new coach, Mr.. Beatrice,
and this is a compliment to the coach,
not the crew, though they too seem to
be putting it over with creditable
margin.
The Denham is of course all right. The
B. A is there, and it's little hard on
the boys: but that can't be helped. We
are also pleased to report from the big
top that Mother is getting more tract
able every day and talks to a woman
like that.

Musicians

That your readers may fully under
stand the progress made by the Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians, writes
Owen Miller, general secretary, it were
well, perhaps, to mention from what a
small acorn this great oak grew.
When this organization was char
tered by the American Federation of
Labor, October 10, 1896, it had on its
roster 10 locals with about l,600 men,
bers. On the first of September, 1913,
it had on its roster $40 locals with over
10000 members. On September l, 1914,
there were 35 times as many locals and
40 times as many members as were en-
rolled in October Is years before.
Since September l, 1913, there have
been chartered 3S locals, seven have
lapsed, three have failed to qualify and
four amalgamated, a total loss of II,
leaving in good standing 675 locals and
about $4,000 members.

CARPENTERS.


Four hundred delegates are attend
ing the national convention of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America, which opened at In
dianapolis last week for session OF
two or three weeks. Denver and Colo
RADIO are ably represented. President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor delivered an address
at the opening session. Secretary Frank
Duffy's report showed that during the
past two years over 100000 was paid
from the national treasury for sick and
mortuary benefits. One of the chief
subjects being considered is the estab-
lishment of home for old and dis
abled members of the organization.
President James Kirby, in his opening
address, drew an impressive and pleas
ing contrast to the dreadful scenes in
Europe now occupying attention of the
world, where the workers of several ma
tions are at war, and this peaceful
gathering of the Carpenters delegates
for the purpose of discussing means of
betterment to themselves and their fell
low-men.
