RETURNED RIGHT ANSWER
Night Watehman In Department Of
Justice Scored a Hit ION His
Own Judgment"

Not long ago a brand new watchman
was appointed as a night guard In the
department Of justice He assumed
his duties, filled with the Importance
of his responsibilities, In instructing
him an official said:
"Now, II anything unexpected hap
pens during the night just use your
own judgment in dealing with the mat
ter"
That night, as the watchman sat AT
the door, there came wire from some
official in California asking the depart
ment whether there was any law
against such a thing
Now this was the time, so thought
the watchman, to "act on your own
judgment" He gave the boy a reply
which read; 81 don't know Of any,
and the telegram was sent
A high official learned Of the matter
and placed it before the attorney gen
eral. That officer smiled at the answer
given and remarked well, he's right
about it-I don't know any law against

INDUSTRIAL PEACE
By E. L. DOYLE
Secretary Treasurer District IS. U. M. w. OF A.

this does not indicate industrial peace
for there may be within that busy fac
tory or mill condition that has brought
despair into the hearts of the workers;
It may be that buried deep in the breasts
of those men is a craving for rest, for
change, for release from the daily bur
den that is sapping out their lives. Every
breath may be sigh, every heart beat
an ache, every day of toll may seem
an age surely then industrial peace can
not be said to exist when the heart o.
man is not content in his work.
When an individual is SO weak that
he becomes the victim of vice that
renders it impossible for him to enjoy
life as he should, we give due credit
to anyone who assists him to overcome
his weakness and begin life anew. and
in this we do not complain, that tho
benefactor interfered with the individ-
uars private life, for We allow that such
is necessary TO accomplish good. This
is as it should be, for each human being
is entitled to all the happiness the
world can give. But should we not cx-
tend our work of justice little further,
when the weakness of the human family
permits vice, in the shape of unjust So
cial or industrial conditions, to deprive
industrial toilers Of their God given
right, to enjoy life in the fullest, and
lend our assistance to every effort that
is made TO correct the evils in industry
to the end that justice may be done all
instead of condemning those active in
such movements as distnrbers OF indus
| trial peace?

U. S. Civil Service Commission Makes
an Important Ruling.

President McIlhenny, OF the United
States Civil Service Commission. writes
Secretary-Treasurer Walter. of the Bro
therhood OF Railway Postal Clerks. with
headquarters in the Mining Exchange
building in Denver, that the Commits
sion's order against political activity OF
Mare island navy yard employees was
not an attack against unionists. The
commissioner says; "No attempt was
made to deny to employees the privilege
of membership in labor unions or TO re-
strict their political activities to any
greater degree than the activity OF 9th
er employees who are not members Of
labor unions are restricted"
The order of the Commission as orig
nally issued. stirred up veritable hor-
nets nest, and Secrctary-Treasurer Wal

At last Sundays meeting OF the
Trades assembly n resolution relating
to the purchase of the Antero water
plant was introduced by Delegates Fred
Vessel and William Koch. 1t was or
dered referred to the Public Institutions
committee and that committee given
further time to investigate the matter,
and it is likely that it will be reported
back at the next meeting of the as
sembly. and a lively discussion had be-
fore final action is taken.
Delegate Koch was in the harness at
the last meeting over the matter as he
is familiar with the water right situa-
ton. Quite a lively discussion ensued
before the resolution was referred and
there is no doubt that the delegates
are pretty familiar with tine subject,
and it was wise that it be given a
thorough investigation before labor's CEN
tral body goes on record one way or
the other. The resolution is as follows:
.Whereas. The Denver Trades and
Labor assembly is, and always has been
in favor of public ownership OF public
utilities, such as telephone, lighting serv-
ice. car service and water service, to
be operated by the city for the public
betterment, which means better service
at reduced cost to the consumer, but
is unalterably opposed to the apparen,
wasteful squandering OF the public's
money by lawyers and politicians for
their own benefit in purchasing worthless
water rights, paying exhorbitant attor-
ney fees. etc, and,
Whereas, 1t appears TO the assembly
that the Public Utilities Commission OF
the City and County of Denver mas at
tempted to make purchase Of the An
tero reservoir and hign line canal for
the amount of 81 l,o5O,oO0, to be paid by
the citizens of Denver; and,
Whereas. 1t appears that the water
rights in the said reservoir and canal
have already been sold TO the full ca
pacity thereof and probably more; and
Whereas, 1t appears that if these
water rights now outstanding are sup

The struggle for industrial peace is
but struggle OF workmen to restore
their birtbright which has so long been
denied them through laws and customs
that give a privilege to a few, enabling
them to live and prosper at the ex-
pense OF the many.
Workingmcn want industrial peace.
They long to work in harmony, in their
relations with employers and were they
ever seeking industrial disturbance as is
often charged, composing as t'icy do the
greater part OF society, can one imagine
the conditions under which we would
live?
Why is it that 1t the vcTy announce
ment OF q strike the workers are held
to be in the wrong? 1t would seem
only because the laws and customs guild
ing the activities of man have caused
his mind to follow in the path of con-
ditions as those conditions came about,
accepting them as right merely because
OF their existence, as though long en-
dured wrong could ever be made right
by continuing to endure it. And when
working men strike to call attention to
a wrong or force an adjustment OF n
known imposition on the p,rt Of en-
ployers, they are Immediately accused OF
disturbing the industrial peace of the
community. Then it is that citizens are
heard to remark Something must be
done to prevent strike" or "something
ought to be done to bring an end TO the
strike" Seldom do we hear them say
that the cause of the strike must be
learned and treated, being satisfied, it
would appear, with tanning" the strik.
ers back into the industry, regardless
of their grievances, then going their way
rejoicing as If peace were established.
A strike being but the effect, those
responsible for it's cause are the real
disturbers of industrial peace, for mcr
do not strike and suffer all the at
tendant hardships and privations conse'
quent thereto unless given serious cause

THE STATE TRACK MEET

The M. V. H. S. boys track team
returned Monday from their trip to
Colorado Springs, where the state
track meet was held last week. They
were represented in one of the fast
est meets held in the state for sew
eral years and were successful
enough to gain one point, bringing
nome very nice cup as a reward.
The boys witnessed the dual track
meet between Colorado College and
Denver University in which Mack
Davis, the best all-round field man
in the Rocky Mountain conference
and Lawrence Tohill of this place,
took first in all their events, and, as
some of the bystanders remarked:
Monte Vista won the meet" Davis
also took leading part in the base
ball game between the two colleges
pitching one of the best games seen
on Washburn field this season.
The visiting athletes were royalty
entertained by the college and the
carnival given in honor of all the
track teams was especially enioyed
The Monte boys say that this was
the most enjoyable o any athletic
trip they have ever taken.
