ready to take up all questions that
should properly be brought before this

bring up the matter at the different
meetings of their local and invite the

joint smoker this fall.

NEGRO SODA DISPENSERS QUIT
Go On Strike in Scholtz Drug Stores and
Are Replaced By White Boys.

Seventyfive negroes employed at the
soda water founts of the seven Scholtz
drug stores in Denver went on strike
last Saturday when white help was in
troduced at the main store. located at
Sixteenth and Curtis. The walk-out oc-
CURED shortly after the noon hour when
the management refused to sign a con-
tract agreeing to continue the negro
soda shakers for another year. White
boys were soon on the job and hence
forth they will be retained by the
Scholtz management, according 70 a
statement made by William Scholtz.
Negroes employed in similar positions
at many other drug store founts in
Denver are said. to be fearful that
change to white help will become gen.

STAY-AT-HOME DOLLAR
NETS SIS PROFIT IN TRADES
NOTED COIN ENDS ITS 4-MoNTHS'
TOUR OF DENVER.
Estimated That This Dollar Afforded
Work in Aggregate to at Least
One Worker For Six Days.

The stay-at home dollar, which was
put into circulation on March %, 1915,
by Governor Carlson to demonstrate the
benefits which the people of Colorado
will derive from spending their money
for products made in the state, has
ended its journey. The dollar changed
hands forty-eight times and earned a
profit OF approximately $l5 for the re-
tail dealers. 1t also earned profit
for the manufacturers who produced the
articles sold by the retailers. 1t is
estimated that this dollar afforded
work in the aggregate for at least one
person for one week.
The last person to spend the dollar
was J. Berlin, president OF the John
Thompson Grocery company, who turned
it over to the Manufacturers associa-
tion for two annual subscriptions in its
official publication, Colorado Factory
Facts, one of which is to be sent to
President Wilson, and the other to Gov
ments.
The dollar was lost three times and
its whereabouts was unknown for a
number of weeks. The dollar was placed
in little covered book and each per-
son receiving or spending it, wrote sin
the book what he purchased and what
he did with the bill
The book is full of labels of all col
ors, autographs, poems, impressions Of
business men and one or two tabloid
sermons.
The dollar not only bought clothing,
shoes and food for some of the people
who used it, but it also bought flowers
for children, dress for baby, candy
and cigars for treats and books to read
and accomplished many other results.
The dollar is still in Colorado and
forty-eight people have been benefited
directly by it's circulation. If il had
been sent to an Eastern mail order
house or used for buying Eastern made
goods the day it was put in circulation
il would have gone for the benefit of
some other community and Colorado
would have received none of the ad-
vantages resulting from keeping the
money at home.

Dooley's Version of Saturday Halt Holiday and
Why Stores Should Close

Well" says Mr.. Hennessy, whats
this half holiday thing they're after
making such n fuss abouti"
Why says Mr.. Dooley, Its this
way there's some folks that selfish
that they think there amt nobody has
a right TO a good time but themselves.
Was We here last summerf Well, thin
We know somethin' about it, But AS ]
was sayin', there's some folks too mean
to be bought at a clearin' out sale. Now,
there was Miss O'Rourke last July.
Twas a Saturday evinin', mind ye, an
she wanted three buttons an n darnin'
needle an she went down street to buy
'em. An she went to shop, an it
warn't open; an she went to another,
an it warn't open; an she was mad,
she was-an' what was she mad about 7
Cause all thin clerks weren't shut up
all that afternoon an up to tin o'clock
at night to serve her-to hand out to
her three buttons an her ould darnin'
needle fer siven cents an "A half-an'
she felt hurt OF course she could have
got her needle jist as well on n Monday
or Thursday; but, no, she didn't hap
pen to think of it until Saturday-an'
she wasn't agoin' to touch 'em on Sun
day either-an' she got mad cause n
bunch of them salesladies had n chance
to get sniff Of air-'taint air they
breathe most of the time. But there's
two sides to it-and the bunch of sales
ladies weren't mad cause they couldn't
hand out those buttons an that darnin'
needle to oil Miss o'Rourke, you bet"
But" says Mr.. Hennessey, were all
the stores shut up thinf"
Not much, more's the pity" says Mr..
Dooley. "She wint down the street a
bit, an there she found slews O. poor
sales folks grouped a'hint the counters
in artificial air, to take her siven cents
an half. An that's the pity Of 1t.
Those shops that shut up lost oP Miss
O'Rourke's sivcn cents and half be-
cause they had lot o kindness for
their salesgents and salesladies, an the
boss as didn't care carpet tack for
his helpers got the money. Now do
yer see what's in this half holiday idee
The mean fcller ought ter shut up, too,
an thin nobody'd be able to buy but
