Scheme of Criminal Capitalists to
Wreck Unions by Adolf. WV.
President Lord Asserts Jim Mcaughton Is Endeauong to
Make Good His Threat Put the Western Fedora
ton of Miners Out of Commission
Continued from Page One,

held in New York few nights ago, un-
der auspices of some of the leading
thinkers and writers of that city, which
petitioned President Wilson to act in
giving relief to the people of Colorado,
which had been denied by the state gov
ernment.
'The American nation is now going
through terrific economic struggle. 1t
started in West Virginia, where an in
United States Senate opened the eyes of
the people to the robber employing class.
In Colorado government by gunner
has served to emphasize this shocking
state of affairs,
Rockefeller King of America.
Recent events have disclosed that the
real seat of government rests at 20 Wall
street, and that Rockefeller is king. The
people have been aroused to the fact
that there is something radically wrong.
Now the robber class is beginning to
realize that public sentiment is fast
centering with the workers, and some of
them are being guarded in their homes
by gunmen previously utilized to shoot
down their protesting employees. / call
on you working men to stop voting for
political cutthroats like Elias NJ. Am
mons and George j. Kindel and put a
few more men in Congress like Ed Keat-
ing, and then you can do business. Pres
ident Wilson should tell Rockefeller to
do business with the United Mine Work
ers or else the nation should do bust
ness with him. Working people must
quit playing politics and play justice
and manhood.
Nation Needs Strong Motherhood.
''For six months and three weeks
have been military prisoner in West
Virginia and Colorado because / was
fighting for justice but the armed
guards, with bullets strapped about
their fat bellies, cannot stop me. Think
OF it; one lone woman, 50 years old, can
scare hell out of the state of Colorado.
And not woman of this commonwealth
raised her voice in protest against my
Imprisonment; here, where the women
have had the voting franchise for 81
years.
''You can never have great nation
until you have a strong motherhood.
Last night I saw n lot of them going
to tango parties, half dressed, while
their children, if they had any, were
neglected at home. Women of this char
acter breed criminals and anarchists If
they would think less of voting, holding
political office and attending indecent
dances we would have better class of
citizens"

The Change Desired Will Be Cheerfully

An old running mate of the G. NJ,
Frank Stewart, foreman of the stero-
type department of the Express, de-
sired a change in the official directory
of his union in the Bulletin, and writes
us about it. Frank is one of the best

ner, Alex Malcolm, keeps things hum

follows:
Hon. Judge, Senator Harvey Z Gar

Dear Sir:-
LII your issue of the Bulletin Saturday
of Thomas Auter as secretary treasurer
Of the stereotyPers and Electrotypers
Union No. l3. II should read Charles
your attentionto this on account Of the
fact that if any of the high guys
from any of the foreign countries should
blow over, they would probably be
placed in an embarrassing position il
they could not locate me-you no doubt
know 1 am president Wilson is presi-
dent of the United States). How any
one that has trained with organization
as long as you could make such mis-
take would naturally appear as II you
were trying to mislead the free lunch
grabbers. Tears come into my eyes as
I write this, but they are from the
fumes of that rotten cigar you gave
me. Hoping that we will have chance
to hold up in the near future, I remain,

plete threshing out Of the Butte affair.
President Meyer made a vigorous ad-
dress Wednesday refuting statements of
the /. w. w. soap box orators and Sc
ceders in Butte that he had acquired
vast properties, automobiles and liveried
servants. He showed by the county re-
corder's records that his holdings in
Denver comprised five room cottage on
Fifth avenue, valued at 81 $50; that he
also had a cottage in California where
his wife is compelled to reside for her
health, on which he had made payments
to date amounting to 81 900 and still
owed $4,000 on this property. His per-
sonal holdings amounted to only $3.50.
He also quoted testimony given before
the Congressional Investigating Commit
tee in the Michigan copper strike to
prove these facts.
Committee Will Go to Butte
President Meyers recommendations as
to the method of handling the Butte sit
uation were concurred in by practi-
cally unanimous vote, and a committee
of three was created to proceed there
after the convention and iron out the
entire matter. Under direction of this
committee a new election of officers of
Butte Union No. / will be held within
sixty days and all seceders are to be
urged to again enroll their names in
the union membership list. Delegates
from that district approved the action
taken and predicted that harmony would
soon be inaugurated there.
Strew Flowers Over Graves
An impressive feature of the conven-
tion took place Friday afternoon, when
the entire body of officers, delegates and
visitors marched in body to Fairmount
Cemetery, where rest the bodies of the
Rev. Myron Reed, great humanitarian
and advocate of labor's cause; George
Pettibone, former member of the Ex-
ecutive Board and John II. Murphy, for
many years attorney for the Federation,
and placed flowers on their graves as
an evidence of the loving memory in
bership.
Gcrman Received a Present.
A humorous incident occurred We'd
pesday afternoon when committee Of
the local Garment Workers Union Wis
tied the convention. Having read in last
weeks United Labor Bulletin that Del
egate Joseph German of Cobalt, Ont,
had brought his bride to Denver on a
honeymoon trip, the girls at the Un-
derhill factory decided the event should
be duly recognized. Therefore q pair of
baby overalls, bearing the union label,
We're made to be given German. Vice
President Charles e. Mahoney made the
presentation speech in his characteristic
happy manner, saying he hoped Joe
would be able to measure up to the re-
quirements and produce a miner to wear

LAUNDRY GIRLS GET FIXED WAGE
Minimum Scale Made by Conference of
Employers and Employees.

A minimum weekly wage of 50 for
women and girls employed in laundries
and dye works in the state of Washing
ton was recommended to the state in
dustrial welfare commission by the con-
ference of employers, employees and dis
interested citizens called to fix wage
for that industry. 1t is believed that
the industrial welfare commission which
rejected recommendation of $3.50 a
week, adopted by previous conference,
will accept the 50 minimum recommend
ed at this time
The 50 weekly wage was approved
unanimously by the conferees. although
four members who favored higher rate
said they voted for it for the sake OF
unanimity.
The first rate considered was S936 a
week This was amended to 50, then to
S9.l2 and then to S9.06. The 50 substi-
tute then carried to and the original
motion. amended to read 50 week,
carried unanimously.
This is the third industry for which a
minimum wage for women workers has
been recommended in Washington. A
minimum wage of so week for en-
ployes in mercantile establishments be-
came effective June 81 and a minimum
of $500 week for factory workers has
been approved by the industrial welfare
commission and will go into effect this
month.

and concluded with the following force
full recommendations:
"The committee find that the charges
made against President Meyer of his
having asked that troops be sent to
Butte, are absolutely without founda-
tion, and the testimony of the governor
of Montana, and all other witnesses to
the conference proves all those making
the charges as unmitigated falsifiers,
that he merely asked protection for him
self and other members of the w. F. NJ.
and that the city authorities be made
to do their duty and afford necessary
protection.
Malicious Falsifier and Traitor
Gas Mayor Duncan of Butte is elected
on a working-class ticket, we hold that
s in making this charge against labor
representative he is more deserving of
censure than would be a representative
of capital. We therefore recommend
that this convention send copy of all
matter submitted by this committee to
Mayor Duncan, with a demand that he
retract this charge which was published
in his letter in the Montana Socialist of
July IL, which is as follows: Mr..
Meyers request that the governor send
troops into Butte has added another diff
ficulty to reconciliation and give as
much publicity to the retraction as he
did to the charge, and failing to do so,
that he stand branded as an unscrupu-
lous falsifier and traitor to the princi-
pies on which he was elected.
eve further recommend that as Mayor
Duncan was elected on the Socialist
ticket, and the Socialist party is pro-
fessedly a working-clas political party,
that the Socialist party be urged to take
this matter up and upon his failure to
retract that he be expelled from the So
cialist party
w. d. Ryan, representative of the
United States Bureau of Mines, ad-
dressed the convention Tuesday after
noon and explained the operation of
his department of government with much
interest to the delegates.
To Vote on Amalgamation
Vice President Frank j. Hayes of the
United Mine Workers of America ad-
dressed the convention Thursday morn-
ing, after which the matter of merging
the Western Federation of Miners with
the United Mine Workers was taken up
for consideration. The plan outlined is
similar body from the United Mine
Workers, which went on record as fa-
voring amalgamation of the two or
ganizations at the last convention This
Joint Commission will arrange for sub
mitting the matter to a referendum vote
Of the two bodies. The combined mem
bership will then be about $4,000 and
mako the strongest labor union in the
World. No material opposition to the
amalgamation developed in the Fed
Grafton convention.

HUMAN PROGRESS


The people as a whole are sound
snd intelligent, and above all they
have a strong sense of justice. They
will not be long led astray by the
faker, nor will they tolerate indefi.
nitely the humbug. The traditions of
the American people are sound, and
their ideals will endure when the
dynasties of old are decayed and for
gotten. Even that restlessness which
is characteristic of our people fur
nishes the basis for the most helpful
progress. The philosopher, Pascal,
once said that thirds of the
troubles of this world were due to
mans inability to sit still in a room.
But it is this same restlessness that
has furnished the basis of our ambi.
ton and accomplishments as ma,
tion and as a people. We are now
devoting this tremendous energy of
ours less and less to the attainment
of the things that are physical and
material, and more toward securing
Justice for our fellow-men, and
equality of opportunity and happi-
ness for those who by chance are
born to the lesser things of life.
All men cannot be capitalists or
statesmen or leaders in the profess
sions: but all men can at least lead
honorable lives and merit the esteem
of eulogy. While others are fond
of pronouncing benisons upon tri-
umphal achievement. i have often
wished that some genius might APP
pear to prepare panegyric upon the
unsuccessful man.--Senator Theodore
+. Burton.

Whereas. There exists at the present

Mont; and
Whereas, 1t appears to us that the
life of the labor movement in Mon

workers of Cascade County, in mass
meeting assembled, do hereby condemn
the workers of Butte, who have allowed
themselves to be used to destroy the
that city; and be it further
Resolved: That we pledge our united
support, both morally and financially, to

their hour of trial and distress, and to

Now they are trying to fool the people
with Law and Order ticket to elect
another Ammons to the governors sta
tion. 7 don't believe the loyal citizens
of this state will be taken in by any
such legerdemain tactics. Surely the
working people have their eyes open to
this brand of hypocrisy, because it has
been utilized before. In this state, as
in all others of the Union, 81 per cent
of the citizens are wagearners, and they
ought not permit the Is per cent of
parasites to do all the ruling. This Grim
inal capitalistic class should have a care.
History teaches that when the 81 per
cent are driven to desperation they turn
about and make reprisal in a manner
most disastrous to the non-producing
but all-gathering class.
Select Union Officers with Care.
my visit to Denver is primarily to
attend the Western Federation of Min
ers' convention, but am glad of this op-
portunity to address the Trades and
Labor Assembly. Today you are choos-
ing officers, and l have no doubt your
selections will be wisely. made Hence
forth central. state and local labor bod
les must have greater care in electing
men who will administer honestly and
justly for all alike.
'The situation in Butte will soon
right itself. The seeding organization,
made up in the main of dreamers, theor-
lists and crooks, cannot stand. 1t has
no recognition from the legitimate labor
unions. President Meyer of the West
ern Federation of Miners is the one man
in America most hated by the criminal
employing class, because he is always
fighting for the lawful. humane rights
of the miners. Here in Colorado, where
the United Mine Workers are now cen.
tering the efforts of that great organi-
cation of nearly half million men, vic
tory must come to the brave miners
and their sacrificing women. 1t may
come next month or next year, but no
matter how long, the battle will be waged
until the privilege of the men to or
ganize and demand their rights under
the laws of your state is recognized by
the operators and state officials"

above is merely brief outline, was fire.
quently punctured by the applause OF
delegates present.
"Mother" Jones Makes Address.
Mother Jones, who had just arrived
from New York, was then introduced
and made one of her characteristic
forceful talks. She told of meeting
