Brief Review of Progress During the Year
DENVER ASSEMBLY

Numerous resolutions have been passed upon
recommendation OF the Resolutions Committee
condemning the action OF some OF the state Off
cals and Rockefeller interests for prosecuting
members OF the United Mine Workers and their
sympathizers.
A careful audit OF all bills has been made by
the members OF the Finance Committee and the
books OF the Assembly are in first-cass shape.
When this brief sketch of the work done by
the Assembly since last Labor Day is published it
will be too late to ask you to give the Labor Day
Committee your earnest cooperation, but not too
late ask you to bear in mind that great work
has been done by this committee which this
venir edition of The Bulletin will show, in max
ing the Labor Day celebration for this year
cess both socially and financially
This committee appointed Immediately
after the election OF officers in January and the
members have been working long hours each day
to complete their work that everything would
be ready for Labor's great holiday.
The Justice League OF Colorado was given the
hearty cooperation of the Assembly in their great
protest parade and meeting, protesting
against the unjust methods pursued by the courts
in trying members OF organized labor for alleged
crimes. Seven thousand workingmen and women
formed mighty protest parade thru the streets
OF Denver on the evening OF Saturday, May 70.
Resolutions condemning the board OF regents
OF the state university for not re-appointing that
true friend OF organized labor, Professor James H.
Brewster, as instructor OF law at this university
passed and copies the governor and
university board OF regents.
Good work done by members of the As
sembly in soliciting funds for the erection of the
Children's hospital, and the Assembly donated
5000 to the cause.
Therefore, taking everything into consideration,
the reader will 500 that the Assembly has been
the job at all times and nothing that could have
been of benefit to organized labor has escaped the
notice OF the delegates.
As we about to start another year in the
history OF the labor movement of the city of Den
yer, let every member OF organized labor try and
promote the interests of the great OF toilers
by being consistent. Buy only goods that are
made under union conditions, attend your union
meetings, take part in the discussions, keep in
mind that in unity there is strength and that
United stand and divided we fall Carry the
spirit of Labor Day with you thruout the entire
year and you will see many new members in line
when march together next Labor Day.

yer Trades and Labor Assembly for their earnest
endeavor TO better the conditions OF the men and
women who toll. Immediately after Labor Day
last year the Assembly ins' ructed its Legislative
Committee to make a careful investigation OF the
record OF each candidate ior state otf1cc at the
fall election and report was submitted by tins
committee giving the record OF the candidates
whether they stood for the principles OF organized
labor or not This gave the members of organ
ized labor information regarding the candidates
that would enable them to vote intelligently at
the fall election. Some members did not take ad-
vantage OF this information, but allowed the poh-
tcians to pull the wool their eyes; but be-
ieve the DAY Is not far distant when such reports
as the one submitted by the Assembly, Legisla-
tive Committee previous to the last state election
will be the guide for all members oi organized
labor on election day.
Many organizations affiliated with the Assem-
blv. and some that not affiliated, have been
benefited by the good work Of the committees
of the Assembly At no time in the history ot the
labor movement in the city OF Denver have the
committees worked hard they did during
the past year.
In advancing the cause OF the union label. the
greatest weapon in the hands OF the members OF
organized labor great work has been done by the
Labels Committee, Organization Committee and
Arbitration Committee. These committees have
worked in conjunction with each other thruout
the entire year
During thc past winter when money was
scarce and quite number OF business firms were
cutting down their forces, great many men OBJ
attained employment from the city and county OF
Denver thru the active work of the Assembly S
committees. On most every visit OF the commit
tees to the CITY hall the good services OF the
president OF the Assembly helped to influence
the commissioners to give work TO the unem-
poyed men.
The committees have submitted some very good
reports which have been published in the official
minutes OF the Assembly in The Bulletin, and
much of the get-together spirit which has pre-
vailed for time has been caused by the inter
est taken by the delegates in these reports.

RATE making
POWER Limited
Railroads Entitled To Fair
Profit, Supreme Court
Rules
DECISION COMES IN
PASSENGER CASES

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The SUI
preme Court has laid down the prin-
ciple that il is beyond the power of
the States TO require a railroad to
carry one commodity or class of
traffic at loss or only nominal profit,
even though an adequate profit is
obtained from its business as whole
within the State.
Under this principle the court an
nuled the North Dakota Ignite coal
rate law as TO the Northern Pacific
and the Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Sault Ste. Marie Railroads, and the
West Virginia two-cent passenger
rate law as to the Norfolk and West
ern. Justice Hughes announced the
decisions. Justice Pitney alone dis
sented.
In arriving at its general conclu-
sion, the court held that when a State
selects one commodity or class of
traffic for regulation, il must appor-
ton to IL a proper part of all general
expenses and then allowed substantial
compensation.
"1he State cannot estimate the cost
of carrying coal" said Justice
Hughes in the North Dakota case "by
throwing the general expense incident
TO the maintenance of the rOadbed,
and the general expenses. upon the
carriage OF wheat; or the cost of car
rying wheat by throwing the burden
OF the upkeep of the property upon
coal and other commodities
In the West Virginia case he said:
ut would appear to be outside The
field Of reasonable adjustment that The
state should demand the carriage of pos
sengers at a rate so low that it could b'
justified only by placing upon shipper
of goods burden of excessive charge
in order TO supply an adequate return
for the entire service"
Furthermore the Justice declared
such action could not be justified as
declaration of public policy" to develol
an infant industry or TO make one com
munity Independent of another
"While the local interests serve as
motive for enforcing reasonable rates.
he added, "it would be very differen
matter to say that the State may com
pei the carrier 10 maintain a rate les
than reasonable TO build up a local On
terprise. That would be to go outsid
of the carriers undertaking, and woul
be equivalent TO an appropriation OF il
property To public uses upon terms &
which the carrier had in no way agreed
IL does not aid the argument to urg
that the State may permit the carrie
TO make good its loss by charges fo
other transportation. II other rates ar
eNorbitant. they may be reduced"
The court left undetermined the exao
elements to be considered in fixing
value for railroad property for rate
making purposes. accepting the finding
Of the States in each case a. shown
substantial compensation had not bee
allowed for the services embraced with
in their laws.

OLD RIVALS IN

Chester High Due Here
Again on Friday Against
Wilmington High
SOME CLASS
TO THE FIGHT

On Friday afternoon the Whining
ton High School basketball team will
play its enemy, the Chester quintet.
at the Friends School gymnasium.
The Gold and Black aggregation will
invade this city with quintet that
will have enough vim TO defeat any
FIVE on the cavorted way.
This will be the second meeting Of
these teams this season. In the inyi-
tation to Chester, the Cherry and
White FIVE took the ARRAY after a stub
born fight. by the score of 36 to 20.
The local combination easily downed
the Chesierites throughout the play.
In the first half the former team held
the lead by the overwhelming score OF
% to 10. In the second half Whining
ton covered up and took the game
with perfect ease.
Smith, captain of the invaders, viii
be the hardest opponent of the quin.
tet. Last year he won the game
against Wilmington at Friends School,.
He was substituted for Sweeney in
tho last few minutes of play and
Gagged the globe" three consecutive
times from field. The game went to
Chester by the score of q to 10. Mat
DonOhue, captain of the Highlets
will try his best TO keep him from
scoring as he did in the last ARRAY at
Chester. Mat sliced the basket five
times and held Smith under control
Wilmington forward positions
will not be decided until the practice
on Wednesday. Walter OKeefe is thu
only sure man for his position. The
toam-mate will be picked between
Daley and Craig. The excellent show
ing made against Norristown may
give him the vacant position. Gil
bert may start the game, for he played
a bang-up game at Chester. His eye
was perfect from the field.
