CIGARMAKERS

The last issue of the Cigarmakers'
journal gives resume of the years
work OF that organization from finan-
cial standpoint. 1t is interesting not
only to the members of that organiza-
hon, but to the general public as show
ing what labor organizations are doing.
Despite the fact that the state of
trade generally was not good for 1913,
IT can be said that the year was about
normal insofar as trade conditions are
concerned. The state OF trade was fair
ly good # the amount OF out Of work
benefit paid l. any indication. and what
l. of greater Importance and encourag-
ing is the fact that the general fund
increased for the year 1913 Sl4.562 %.
The amount expended for out-of-work
benefit in 1912 was S42,9ll.05, while in
1913 the amount for this purpose
dropped to s3l, ,s9s.7l This shows that
fewer members drew out-of-work bene-
fit in 1918 than they did in 1912.
The total amount of benefits paid
during 1913 was 1868 1915, and the
grand total of benefits paid in "a years
two months is sll ,347 ,649.30, which is a
magnificent tribute to the beneficial
feature of the international union.

M'LENNAN PUTS IT UP TO FARRAR
Asked to Keep "Gunmen" Bill From
Being Referred To Vote.

II Attorney General Fsrrar can Sc.
cure an injunction keeping certain bills.
favored by capital, off the ballot this
fall. will he follow the request of Pres.
ident John McLennan of the State Fed.
Grafton of Labor and secure an injune-
tion to prevent the "gnnmen" and other
bills from coming before the people ?
The workers of Colorado are consider
ing that question with much interest.
Attorney General Farrar is one of the
members of the auditing board who
voted to pay the gunmen militia who
murdered and cremated the nineteen
men, women and children at Ludlow. so
it is doubtful if the workers will re-
ceive much favorable consideration from
his office
The gunmcn bill would prevent the
coal companies and other corporations
from employing imported assassins TO
carry on work of carnage and intimi-
dation for which the Colorado coal
strike has been so noted.
The operators circulated a petition to
have it repealed. President McI.ennan
claims that there are many fraudulent
names on the petitions to refer this
bill The coal operators will undoubted-
ly use all their influences with the at.
torney general to keep him from inves.
tigatng and taking action on Presi-
dent McLcnnan's complaint.

COURT EMPLOYEES TO COME
UNDER CIVIL SERVICE LAW
ALL STATE COURTS EXCEPT THE
SUPREME MAY BE ON LIST.
Civil Service Commission Making Prep
arations to Extend Jurisdiction Over
Other Court Employees.

The State Civil Service Commission is
making an effort to extend its jurisdic-
ton over all court appointees in the
state courts. These include the Supreme
Court, the Court of Appeals and the
District and County Courts Alice
Adams Fulton, secretary of the Civil
Service Board, has sent circular letters
calling attention of the stenogarphers,
clerks, bailiffs, etc, to the provisions of
the law, and calling on them to fill out
examination blanks which are inclosed
with the circular letter.
The county officers are also asked to
forward list of employees of the
County and District Courts for record
under the civil service regulations.
Some of the employees that come under
the civil service regulations at the
County Court house are filling out the
examination blanks, but the stenog-
raphers and clerks in the Supreme Court
and the Court of Appeals, under in
structions from the Supreme Court
judges, are said TO be paying no atten-
tion to the circular on the theory that
the Civil Service Commission has no
jurisdiction over these appointments.
The civil service law specifics that the
employees in the positions when the law
went into effect will retain their posi-
tions, subject to re-examination. Any
new appointments that are to be made
must be made from the eligible list in
the office of the State Civil Service
Commission.
The County Court in Denver has been
under the civil service regulations since
the law went into effect in 1907, but
the District Court employees have not as
yet been brought into the civil service
fold.
Mrs. Fulton has received n list of
District Court employees from Pueblo

MURDER CHARGE DROPPED
AGAINST n UNION MINERS
ATTORNEY HAWKINS GAINS POINT
IN CASE AT CANON CITY.
Judge Cavender Sustains Contention of
Union Counsel That Omission
Invalidates Indictments.

Judge Charles Cavender of Leadville,
sitting for Judge Charles A. Wilkin, in a
special session of the Fremont County
District Court at l o'clock last Satur-
day night, dismissed the counts of mur-
der from the indictments against the 81
defendants accused of killing William
King, a non-union miner, during the at
tack on Chandler April 20.
The court has under advisement the
striking of the courts charging the de-
PENDANTS with being accessories to Kings
murier before and after the fact.
Horace y. Hawkins of Denver, coun-
sci for the striking miners, attacked
the indictments as well as the several
counts on the theory that they were
not drawn by the grand jury in accord
ance with the statute.
He showed from a certified copy of
the Indictments that the word viii
fully had been omitted in drafting
then and that they were consequently
invalid. In this contention Hawkins
was sustained. Judge Cavender proba-
bly, will hand down an opinion on the
other questions involved in the course
of few days.
The defendants. most of whom had
been in the county jail here since the
otheaN NVVR BidNt- "tlf
charged with four offenses under as
many eounts-first. with murder; sec
ond. with being accessories before the
fact; third. with being accessories to
the crime in actually aiding, abetting
and assisting in its alleged commission,
and last, with being accessories after
the fact in standing at the mine, accord
ing to the states contention, while the
killing was taking place and doing moth
ing to prevent it.
What steps will be taken by the state
in these cases in the event that the re-
manning counts in the Indictment are
dismissed is not known. but it is under
stooi that either the district attorney
viii file a direct information against the
strikers or that the grand jury, which
has never been formally discharged, will
recouyene TO draft new set OF indict-
meuts

ing as leader of the house, was able to
inform the commons today that:
The only question Gen. Paget put Or

ready to put their duty before any other
considerations. 1t was not his intention
that this or any such question should be
put by the general officers to their SUBJ
ordinates
Gen. Paget informed the general Of
fcers of the promise given by the sec
Rotary for war to officers whose homes
were IN Ulster to permit them to with
draw temporarily from their regiments
in the event of operations becoming nee
cssary in Ulster, and he requested the
general officers to find out Immediately

The Irish cornmander-in-chief was
asked II any officer who could not claim
this exemption would be allowed to re-
sign, and replied that the result OF any
refusal to do their duty could only mean
their dismissal from the army"
