WILL REFER FAKE
CIVIL SERVICELAW
Petitions Out and Should Be
Signed By Everyone
Scheme Of SILLY Twentieth" to Re-
establish Spoils System inState De-
partments Arouses indignation

Petitions are being generously signed
by qualified voters throughout the state
TO refer house bill No. l73, passed by the
silly Twentieth general assembly of
Colorado and signed by Governor Carl
son. II is one of the many vicious meas
ures put through to re-establish rule
by the corporations and deprive the peo-
pie of progressive legislation hitherto en-
acted. 1t seeks to re-establish the old
spoils system in the various state de-
partments.
The petitions are being circulated by
authority of the Colorado State Civil
Service Reform association, and if the
required number of signatures are se-
cured will have effect of holding up oper-
alton of the law until voted upon in the
1917 general election. Every working
man or woman who believes in genuine
civil service should sign the petitions and
thus retain hundreds OF faithful state
employees in their positions. Following
is the brief address Of explanation is
sued by those who advocate the bill be
ing referred:
To the people-The twentieth general
assembly Of Colorado passed house bill
No l73, which may destroy entirely the
effect OF civil service in Colorado If al
lowed to become a law.
II abolishes the entire civil service
commission which has rendered efficient
service. 1t provides for the appointment
of a new commission whose terms expire
at one time and with the term of the
governor appointing them. thus making
them political appointments during each
administration of a political party.
II deprivea the persons who have sub
mitted to an examination and who have
not yet secured positions, of their rights
under the present civil service law by
cancelling all eligible lists upon which
the names OF these persons appear.
1t removes from the classified civil
service the state boiler inspector and
deputies, the state game and fish COM
missioner and deputies. the state print-
ing commissioner, the wardens of the pen
itentiary and reformatory, superintend-
ent OF the insane asylum and heads of
other departments and institutions and
system which is inimical to good gov
ernment, taking away from the civil ser
vice those successful appointecs under
it who have already saved the state
more than one hundred thousand dollar-
n year for the two years last past.
This measure is condemned as violat
ing the principles of the merit system
by the Civil Service Reform association
and by eminent civil service authorities.
Put mark after the word yes" on
your ballot.

Congressman Lewis Inuited to
Make Denuer Labor Day Speech
Chairman Labor Committee in National House of Representa-.
tiues VIII Probably Come; Congressman Edward Keang
of Pueblo Also Extended Imitation By Committee

Congressman David John Lewis OF the
Sixth Maryland district will probably be
the orator for labor Day in Denver at
the annual celebration being arranged by
a committee of the Denver Trades and
Labor Assembly. Congressman Edward
Keating Of the Third Colorado district
also Is likely to be one of the speakers.
Both these eonrressmen have taken a
prominent part in labor legislation dur.
ing The past two years in the national
congress Lewis is chairmano the house
committee on labor and is the father
of the parcel post law that has been a
great boon 10 the common people.
AT meeting of the Labor Day Com
mite held last Sunday morning in the
Building Trades club it was decided to
extern invitations to Congressman Lewis
and Keating. BY this it is meant that
the speaking will be leading feature
of this years Labor Day celebration In
Denver. The committee has been as
sured that in all probability the invita-
tions TO these two noted labor states
men q national repute will be accepted,
which will insure the largest and most
successful demonstration OF labor's ma
tional holiday in the history OF Denver.
Cou-re-sman Lewis coming TO Den
yer will be of more than ordinary local
interest because he is the man who on
the floor Of the house showed up the

Monday night thirty-three officers and
privates of Batteries A and b. mostly
officers, appeared for inspection by Lieu
tenant Sharp at the Twenty-siNth and
Curtis armory. At least l2S privates are
necessary to meet the minimum require.
ments of the war department to obtain
government equipment and funds. Some
of those present for inspection said they
had only recently been enlisted, and the
presumption is they were hired to put
on uniforms for the occasion, as was
done at previous inspection.
Last Sunday Lieutenant Sharp or
dered all members of the Denver bat
teries of the Colorado field artillery to
report at the Golden rifle range for an

men were present and the drill was a
fiasco, No doubt the entire outfit will
be dismissed from the service after the

MAYOR THOMPSON FAILSTO
END CHICAGO TRADES STRIKE
CARPENTERS DEMAND INCREASED
WAGE BEFORE ARBITRATION.
Street Car Employees and Officials of
Companies Select Representatives
to Negotiate Points of Dispute.

Mayor Thompson's attemp;t to med
late y the Chicago building trades strike
as did successfully in the street car
strik. failed this week when James
Kirby. president OF the national or
rauization OF carpenters. returned to
hcadquarters in indianapolis.
President Kirby found that the car
Penters were opposed to any settlement
not having an advance in wages as an
understood basis. The union men claim
that 10000 of their 10000 members al
ready are getting the 20 cents an hour,
demand for which brought on the strike
more than a month ago.
Street car and elevated road en-
ployes who were on strike for two days
last week, have chosen Maclay Hoyne,
states attorney OF Cook county, as their
representative on the board which will
arbitrste the matters in dispute be-
tween them and the companies. The
companies have chosen James NJ. Sheean
and with Mayor Thompson as umpire,
tn, board will begin its meetings next
Monday.
