M.T.LEONARD HURT
IN CRASH OF AUTOS
President BriCklayers' State
Conference Has Close Call
Was Riding With Denver Friend Tues
day Night When Machines Collide;
Suffers Broken Collar Bone

NJ. L. Leonard OF Colorado Springs, in
Denver this week attending the annual
convention OF the Bricklayers and Ma
sons State Conference. was SO seriously
injured in an automobile accident Tues
day night that for a time he was not
expected to live. In company with w.
] Hooper. a Denver friend, Leonard was
enioying a spin about the city and was
returning to the home of w. II. McCord
on Banonck street, with whom Leonard
was visiting while in the city, about
ll:3O O'Clock. At Sixteenth aveaue and
Clarkson street Hooper's machine col
lided with one driven by Frank w.
Beard. chauffeur for DR.. w. s. Bagot,
being taken to a garage.
The Bapot machine was turned COM
pletely around twice and thrown against
a post at the corner The car in which
Hooper and Leonard were riding turned
a double somersault before finally land
ing in the middle OF the street on its
side.
Occupants of each car were hurled
thru the air. Leonard was thrown fully
fifteen feet and landed in the middle
of the street twenty-five feet from the
wreckage. His collar bone was broken,
chest crushed and also received serious
injuries on the head. He was taken to
the County hospital in an ambulance.

from instant death when he struck the
ground, the wreckage of his machine
falling on him. Beard was hurled from
his seat and struck a sign post on the
corner.
Noise of the impact could be heard
for blocks around and the entire neigh
borhood was awakened
Physicians report that Leonard will
probably recover.

Chance of Name Considered for
Western Federation of Miners
Elimination of Sectional Character and Assuming One That
Couers International Scope of Metderons Workers Aduo
cated Suggestions Receiued at Denuer Headquarters

A movement is under way that may
result in changing the title of the West
ern Federation of Miners to one that is
divorced of sectional character Its
membership comprises workers in all
kinds of metal ore mines and the juris-
diction extends from California to New
Jersey and from the ore mines of Can
ada to Texas. Therefore y feeling that
the word Western should be elimin-
ated. When organized the field of
operation was exclusively in the Western
part, of the country, but expansion has
made it an international union.
This change will probably be consid-
cred at the Forthcoming meeting of the
Mining department of the American
Federation of Labor to be held in San
Francisco the second week of next
month. However, any change contem-
plated will be acted upon by the w. +. Of
NJ. at their next convention and perhaps
two or more names will be submitted to
a referendum vote of the entire mem
bership. Suggestions of a new title for
the organization are now being sub
mitted to the headquarters office in
Denver.
In reference to the proposed change of
name, James Lord, president of the A.

EFFICIENCYMAYBE BOUGHT
AT TOO GREAT HUMAN PRICE
NEW YORK JUDGE SUPPORTS UN-
IONISTS IN AMENDMENT FIGHT.
Section of Proposed New State Consti-
tuition Seriously Menaces the Rights
and Liberties of Organized Workers.

Opposition to the New York state con-
stitution. which will be voted on next
month, is recorded by former Chief
Judge Edgar NJ. Cullen of the court of
errors and appeals, the highest court in
the state. Judge Cullen supports the
trade union movement in its opposition
to some sections of the new constitution
and shows that in the present constitu-
ton the safety of the civilian popula-
tion is protected, as it is in the constitu-
tion of the United States, by provis-
ion in the bill of rights that mo mill
tary tribunal shall exercise jurisdiction
over civilian unless engaged in mill
tary or naval service while the regularly
constituted state courts are open to ad-
minister Justice"
This clause is eliminated from the new
constitution. which. however, carefully
continues all the old powers and pro
visions for the declaration of martial
law in case of riots or disorders which
the civil authorities are deemed power
less to curb
Judge Cullen shows that under the
proposed constitution it would not be
sufficient excuse for an accused man to
show that he had been absent from the
scene OF rioting if the military powers
merely proved that he had "aided and
abetted those guilty of violence"
Under these rules OF law says Judge
Cullen, 'in case of riot in Buffalo, a
man may be taken from Brooklyn or
New York before military commission
on the charge that he has aided the
rioters and shot if the commission sees
fit to order it,
The claim that the new constitution
will provide greater efficiency in the
conduct of state affairs is answered by
Judge Cullen with the claim that "ef
fiency may be bought at too great a
price, and such is the case when it is
purchased at the expense of civil lib
erty."

i. Of l.. mining department. has issued
the following statement:
In view OF the spirit OF organization
that is prevalent everywhere in the
metalliferous industry and the spread
ing into new fields OF the Western
Federation OF Miners, the time is ripe,
in my opinion, for the necessary eff
forts being put forth to re-christen
the metalliferous miners union with
a name more suitable and appropriate
with its jurisdiction and activities.
Reasons have been set forth as to
why. in its inception, the metal min
ers' union was named the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners. The name may have
been appropriate then, but is absolutely
misnomer now.
The American Federation of Labor
is not, and never has been. sectional
in character. 1t does not tolerate dual
organizations in either craft or industry,
and when it charters an organization.
either national or international. it gives
the widest possible scope to both lati-
tude and jurisdiction, consistent with the
laws of the American Federation of
Labor.
This being true, what good purpose
can be served by continuing name
that is prefixed by Western Eastern,
Northern or Southern
"The metal miners union is reaching
out into every section of this continent.
Its mission is to bring all men in and
around the mtalliferous mines. mills and
smelters into one international union.
Then why not give it an international
name? Why not rename it the Inter
national Association of Metal and Rock
Miners. or some other appropriate name ,
There are many fields yet to con-
quer, and let us always. in both min
crs' unions, do that which will hest con-
serve the interests of the men IN and
around the mines"

JOHN D. RETURNS TO NEW YORK.
Says He Had Fine Time in Colorado and
Will Come Again Next Year.

John d. Rockefeller, Jr, left Denver
at 10 o'clock last Saturday night for
New York. He made no statement be-
fore leaving as to the value he sets
upon his three weeks stay in Colorado.
He said he preferred to let the states
estimate of him and his intentions rest
upon his new industrial plan which he
saw adopted and placed in operation by
the Colorado Fuel & Iron company and
its employees. Men close to the million
aire. however. say he is thoroly pleased
with his visit and the work he accom-
plished while here.
Accompanying the New Yorker on his
return trip were his secretary, Charles
o. Hcydt, and some of the Eastern
newspaper men who have been with him
ever since he arrived in Trinidad.
Rockefeller so thoroly enjoyed his con-
tact with the miners and the hospitality
of Colorado's people that he expects to
come again at least once every year.
While he did not make any statement
to that effect, it is known that he plans
to bring Mrs. Rockefeller and their six
children next year and go all over the
ground he covered this autumn.
Shortly before his departure the lead
ing C. f. q |. director made this signifi-
cant statement:
Il have SAID TO tine representatives OF
the workers in the Colorado Fuel com
pany and to the officers and directors OF
the company, that there is one thing
which must never happen again in that
company, and that is strike"
Rockefeller's last words, spoken from
the steps of the Pullman as his train
pulled out, were:
''I've had delightful time among you
Western people. You've made it ex-
ceedingly pleasant for me. It's been a
wonderful three weeks. Goodby till we
meet again"

That "Secret' Ballot

One Of the sadde-t things about Rocke
felleI's splendidly ACCENTED trip
among his employees in Colorado is the
manner in which he allowed them to
choose between his plan" and losing
their jobs.
A secret ballot was announced.
Those who wished to vote for his
plan" were given white ballots.
Those who wanted to vote against it
had to take red ballots.
We wonder how many Of those $50
who cast red ballots will still be work
ing in Rockefellers mines at Christmas
time!

STRIKE DEPUTIES WANT PAY DAY.

The Iowa state supreme court is called
upon to decide whether Muscatine shall
pay $4,000 for the services of the numer-
Gus Chicago strike deputies imported
into that city during the strike of button
workers several years ago. The Musca-
tine board OF supervisors was enjoined
from paying the bill and the decision is
appealed to the supreme court. Oppo-
nents Of the bill declare that because the
strike deputies were not residents of the
state that they could not act as officers
and that their bill, therefore, is illegal.

What War Is.

Let US forget General Sherman
for a while. He described war in a
single. all-inclusive word, because
he lacked eloquence. Richard
Harding Davis may not be SO
great a man as General Sherman.
but he has the wizardrv of speech.
And this is what Davis wrote of
war, after standing in the ruins of
the Rheims cathedral, with the
gaping holes above and the dead
and wounded soldiers in the litter
at his feet:
War is only waste. The Ger
man Emperor thinks it is thous-
ands of men in flashing breast
plates at manoeuvres galloDlng
past him, shouting 'Hoch der
Kaiserl' That is all of war he has
ever seen. ] have seen a lot of it,
and real war is his high-born Of
ficer with his eyes shot out, his
peasant soldiers with their toes
sticking stiffIv through the straw,
and the windows Of Rheims, that
for centuries with their beauty
have glorifed the Lord, swept
into Q heap of dust.

Two Louisiana Boys make good
as Pages.

The following taken from an
interview given by Congressman
Aswell while in New Orleans is
read With a great deal of pride
and pleasure by the people of

lighted to hear of the success of
any of their people:
Two Louisiana boys whom l
took to Washington to be pages

have made good in every sense of
the term" said Congressman
James B. Aswell, while here, on
his way home in Natchitoches.
Il secured pageships for Joe
Pitcher of Marksville, nephew of
j. W. Jofrion, and tor William
Payne, son of Sheriff J. W. Payne
of Natchitoches. Well, sir. it has
been an education and revelation
for these two boys. They went
to school and attended to duty,
too.
just before leaving for home |
happened in the sergcnt-at-arms'
room and | asked him: How are
nv two boys"'
Il have never had two pages in
the House who surpassed the two
you brought here,' he replied.
They have always been on duty
and turning to his record book,
added:--both are graded A |
high They are now at home.
Another Louisiana bov who is
making a record for himself in
Washington, is Oswalt L'Herisson
of Natchitocnes, who is a special
