ter Creek company last Monday on its
property a short distance from the
Crescent we'll. The drilling started
with a 16-inch hole, so that at least
an 8-inch hole will be possible at the
2,000-foot depth.
The Star company is erecting its
derrick on the st. Martins tract,
Lacey, the lumber beng bought from

Of J|TNEY
BUS Up TO S0L0NS
SUDDEN RISE OF NEW MEANS
OF TRANSPORTATION DEMOR-
ALIZES TRAFFIC BUSINESS.

Bursting out of a clear sky and
with such startling suddenness as to
cause the ordinary traffic man to
catch his breath, the jitney bus lines,
organized in the last few days in
many cities of the state, including
Olympia, have become one of the
problems with which the present leg
islature will have to grapple.
Governor Lister is keenly follow
ing the inception and evolution of
the new carrying industry. The
miracle of the jitney innovation to
public utility people and transporta-
ton men of the state Is the phenom-
email quickness with which the idea
was sprung and the sweeping man.
ner in which the fields of service
have already been covered. In all the
larger cities Of the state today jitneys
are operating and their numbers in
crease with each "a hours. That
they will produce profound change
in the present highly organized street
railway carrying system everyone
agrees, and there are those among
the legislators here who look for the
street car to be relegated to the scrap
heap.
Transportation men who have
closely scrutinized the condition ad-
NIT the jitney has already developed
into a whale, considered from a
transportation angle. Street car
companies, finding their earnings
enormously hewed down, practically
overnight, have a strong lobby here
working for drastic legislation that
will put the jitney out Of business.
but It is practically certain prohibitive
legislation will not be passed, as the
many statesmen interviewed look on
the innovation as one of the natural
outgrowths of the automobile indus
try and bound to come sooner or
later.
As It now stands, street car COM
panies in Tacoma and Seattle claim
the jitney has already wrested the
cream of business from them, which
is the short haul over paved streets
and the business can hardly be said
to be out Of it's swaddling clothes
Street railway companies are pulling
off cars and cutting down their
forces, and threatening to construct
no more railway extensions. The
jitney men reply that such extensions
would now never be used anyway,
and declare the time is near when
very few street cars will be seen
even in downtown districts in cities.

Sustain Your Union Principles By
Purchasing Union Label Products
BY j. w. SANFORD
Secretary Denver CiGarmakers Union. No. 1.o

An article in a recent issue of The
Bulletin by George II. Howell of Port
land. Ore, entitled your Purchasing
Power and the Union Label" strikes me
as being about right and should be read
by every member of organized labor and
the suggestions put into practice.
Ii members of unions would make it
a practice to insist that everything they
purchase or is purchased by members of
their families for the space of one
month, say, was union made, some OF
our merchants who now have a few
label goods and sell a lot of non-union
goods would reverse their methods and
put the label goods in the front row
and make an honest effort to sell them,
instead of keeping them hid and bring
ing them out only when insisted upon.
And if lot of our so-called union mem
bers land We have them in all of the
unions that l know of would demand
the label on everything that they pur-
chase, and refuse the non-union stuff,
they would not have so much trouble
securing better working conditions in
their own trades, for every additional
label purchased helps build up that par
tic,ilar organization and makes one more
on the side of unions and one less
against them.
When a member of any union pur-
chases anything that does not bear the
label the merchant chuckles to himself,
and when, perhaps, man does come in
and ask for the label on something, Mr..
Merchant makes haste to inform the in
dividual that Mr.. So and So is good
union man and he just sold him some
thing that did not bear the label. And
in many cases if the Mr.. So and So re-
ferred to happens to be known to the
other man the chances are that he will
also walk out with some non-union ar
ticle, justifying himself that the other
fellow did it and Il do not see why ]
should not do the same; besides, saved
a little, maybe, on the purchase" But,
no matter how much you have saved
in money, you lost in principle more
and strengthened your enemy-the nom
union manufacturer and merchant-who
will throw it in your teeth sooner or
later that you are only a union man
for the benefit you derive from it per-
sonally, and do not care a snap for the
other union man or woman or their
label.
That is where we make the mistake
when We fail to demand the label on
everything @e purchase; our enemies are
strengthened and our friends are weak
ened. If your own union is not strong,
don't let that be your excuse for not
calling for the label of the other unions;
make them strong by demanding their
label and your union in a very short
time will feel the good effect. The lit
tie you may save in buying non-union
goods is not worth while either to your
conscience or in cash.
The union people in this country are
in sufficient numbers to dictate at least
to the merchants where they trade the
kind of merchandise to handle, and this
power would not need to be used in a
tyrannical way, either, or to force the
Denver labor bulletin., 1915-02-06

merchant to handle goods that were not
up to standard and exorbitant in price
They could simply say: "If you persist
in handling all the cheap labor and the
sweatshop stuff we will not trade with
you.v In fact union men and women,
who in this community especially are in
a majority, refused to purchase anything
but articles made under union conditions
the merchant would have very little of
any other kind OH his shelves, excepting
those merchants in localities where the
working people We're in the minority.
In another year there is going to be
great change in business in this city
and state, due to a majority vote of
the people at our last election. A lot
of people are going out OF business who
in the past have contributed largely to
all kinds of business. Many Of them,
very likely, will leave here and, depend
upon it, they will be missed. Now is
the opportunity for all that have the
welfare of Denver and Colorado at heart
to take notice now, before it is too late.
and purchase only such goods as are fair
to organized labor. preferably Denver
made or Colorado made when possible to
get them.

President McLennan Says Colorado

ieller's Line Of Talk IN New York

While John ID. Rockefeller, Jr.. is
boasting before the federal Industrial
commission in New York that his father
has given a quarter billion Of dollars to
benevolent, religious and educational in
stitutions, and prays for a place In the
sum-, his former employees who struck
work in the Colorado coal mines in an
effort to gain humane conditions OF Ia
Dor are appealing to the state officials
to prevent themselves and families from
starving.
Monday committee of former coal
mine strikers, headed by President John
McLennan of District 10, visited Cover
nor Carlson and made an appeal that
the estate aid them in securing employ
ment.
The governor was told how 2,lO0
women and 5000 children in the coal
fields are virtually starving. Figures
were shown that 1000 miners, the bread
earners of these families, are now out
of work because of the fight they made
for better pay and recognition of their
union.
Pay No Attention to Rockefeller.
..The actions of the coal companies do
not Indicate that they are paying much
attention to the talk of Rockefeller"
said McLennan. But we hope young
Rockefeller means all that he said be-
fore the commission. We hope that thu
conference between our officials, "Aloth.
er" Jones and the young millionaire will
bring results.
'The proposition has now been put
right up to Rockefeller. He has been
given his chance. 1t is up to him to
make good or appear ridiculous before
the whole country"
AIcLennan said that the surcst way
of settling the trouble in the coal re-
gions here was for Rockefeller to meet
with the union officials, learn the con-
ditions as they really exist, and act
Miners Want Liberty.
''rhey talk of welfare COMMITTEES" 4"
said McLennan, "and establishing pool
rooms where the men may find amuse-
ment. Why, they don't want to play
pool. They want liberty. They want
the same rights other citizens OF the
country have. They don't want to be
guarded. with guns.
''The mining camps are still watched
over by armed guards. There are incor-
porated towns you can't enter because
the guards wont let you. Families of
the miners can't visit friends in other
and town and county officials are owned
by the operators and a miner simply
hasn't any rights"
Married Men Fist. "a
McLennan declared that the big prob
lem now was to get employment for the
men. Only a small percentage Of the
miners have been taken back. Cover
nor Carlson was told that at the Nor
ley mine union men applying for work
were told to ''go see Mother Jones.
She told you to quit; maybe she'll tell
You how to get back"
The governor appointed committee
composed of Representatives w. w.

tions and later is expected to direct an
appeal to the operators. Carlson told
the miners he believed the best plan
would be to endeavor to get the mar
ried men back to work first, to relieve
the suffering women and children.
