NEWS OF THE LABOR UNIONS
CIGARMAKERS

Before Jack w. Behrle died in July
last he wrote codocil to his will speci-
flying that local Cigarmakers' Union No.
100 should receive bequest of $500 in
cash. He further stipulated that $50 of
this should be expended for beer and
sandwiches to be served at meetings of
the union. These features of the will
were made known at last Tuesday
nights meeting For many years Jack
had met with the boys and often re-
marked that few refreshments might
tend to liven up the sessions. So, at the
next regular meeting beer and sand
wiches will be on hand and this feature
will be continued each month until $50
worth have been consumed. 1t has been
voted by the union to erect monument
over Behrle's grave in Riverside ceme-
terry.
A committee has been appointed to
draw up resolutions against state wide
prohibition consisting of George D.
Schwartz, j. w. Sanford and Herman

European war, in view of the glorious
prospects for plenty of pumpkin pie this

MUSICIANS

Albert j. F. Siggel, Denver's Oldest
and best known bandmaster and long
time member of local Musicians Union
No. 90, died Sunday at his home, 303l
Lafayette street, after a weeks illness.
Pneumonia was the immediate cause of
his death, but he had been i'll of heart
trouble for the past year. He was 63
years old. Mr.. Siggel was Denver's
pioneer musician and was known by
thousands of citizens. He came here in
1880, when he started little band of
10 pieces. During the "a years since
that time he has furnished music on all
important public occasions. His little
band grew to 5O-piece and no public
ceremony was complete without its
music. He played at the laying of the
cornerstone of the new postoffice. the
auditorium and the cathedral of the I'm
maculate Conception. and all of the big
public celebrations that have been held
in Denver for the last 80 years. Siggel
was the originator of the City park con-
certs, which he started 20 years ago.
He used to go about among the busi-
ness men collecting money for the con.
eerts. He subscribed money himself so
that the people of Denver could enjoy
free music in their park. For many
years he led the City Park band His
his band in the Labor Day parade. Sig
gel was born in Bradenburg, Germany,
in 1861 and came to America in 1876
as the leader of German military band
that played at the Philadelphia Centen-
nial. He moved to Cincinnati, where he
was married. and came from there to
Denver Simple funeral services were
held from the residence Wednesday af.
ternoon at ? o'clock
Secretary F. ]. Liebold of Musicians
Union No. 20 was in Wyoming this week
with the band making music for the
Denver business mems boosters.
At last Sundays meeting of the
Trades and Labor Assembly a resolution
similar to action taken by central labor
bodies in other cities was adopted re-
questing President Wilson to issue an
order preventing the government Marine
band from competing with citizen bands
in the District of Columbia and at other
places.

PAINTERS.

Thursday nights meeting OF Painters
Union No. 10 was largely attended, as
members had been urged to come out
for specific purpose. President Charles

ell and chairman of the Labor Day com
mittee, formally presented the union
with the silver loving cup Won as a
prize for the union OF over 200 members
making the best appearance in the La
Dor Day parade. Charlie was at his best
in the oratory line and made cracking
good speech. The boys feel very proud
of their victory and the cup will be given
place of honor in the Painters Union
club rooms.
