The last sad rites in honor OF our
departed brother, Nicholas ReiIand,
were ATTENDED by a large concourse
of relatives, neighbors and friends
who were anxious to pay him due
respect and consideration. About 300
men were in line, made up of Catho-
lie Knights of Wisconsin, Catholic
Order of Foresters, members of the
Order OF B. P. o. E, Mayor and the
members Of the Common Council and
employees of the Reiland Packing
Plant of which the deceased was
the honored president.
Short services were held at the
house after which the Line of march
was formed and proceeded to the S
S Peter and PauIs Catholic church,
where a solemn high mass was said
by Rev. J. n. BartboIome of Full
da, Minnesota. He was assisted by
Deacon Rev. Gluckstein of Anti
go, and sl5 Deacon Rev. John
Zuinn of Stanley. Wis, Master of
Ceremony Rev F. R. Ciszewslli, and
Rev. VIM. Redtng, preached the ser
mon 1t was comforting to the mouI~-
ers and friends and.a high.tIibute to
a member of the church, husband
and father, and citizen OF this com
munity.
The floral offerings were profuse
and beautiful, the gifts of friends
and neighbors who held the deceas-
ed in great favor and respect. They
we're symbolic of the respect and
esteem in which Mr.. ReiIand was
held by everybody who enjoyed his
acquaintance. He was well known by
everybody and highly considered as
a neighbOr, friend and good citizen.
Always ready and willing to do his
part to discharge the responsibilities
OF life as he met with them and
could see them from his standp point.
He will be greatly missed not on

Houses, the business houses, church,

quentIy seen and met with. In going
to his final reward he takes with
MIN the blessings and good wishes
Of an entire community.
The singing and music furnished
at the church by the regular church
choir under the efficient direction OF
A. J. Freund, was most beautiful
and impressive as the large audien-
ce listened to their music furnished
during the entire mass. It was es-
peciaIIy spoken of in most fav-
orable way by those who heard it
upon this occasion.
The pail bearers were Messrs. A
P Hirzy, Peter McCamIey, T. E.
Mullen, Matt Carey, Herman Smith
and NJ. A. Bogoger.
The relatives and those who at
tended the funeral from out side the
city were as follows:
Mrs. H. Gillespie, Mrs. Anna Gam

sisters OF the deceased; Matt Hart
Of Mazeppa, Mimi, cousin of the
deceased; Mr.. and Mrs. n. WeiIand,

Burial took place in Calvary Gem

lie church OF which the deceased
was a most honored and respected
member.

PASTED LABEL IN SCAB HAT;
SELLER GETS $500 AND COSTS
UNITED HATTERS' REPRESENTA-
TIVE TRAPS FRAUD DEALER.
New Jersey Storekeeper Rips Union La
bel From Union Hat and Pastes
1t on Unfair Produce.

A judgment OF $500 and costs against
Otto Ern, of Newark, n. j., was secured
in the East Orange district court by the
United Hatters of North America as a
penalty of having taken a union label
from a union made hat and pasted it in
a non-rnion hat, which he sold on Jan.
%. The purchaser of the hat was Hugh
j. Glover, the general agent OF the Unit
ed Hatters of North America.
According to the testimony, Glover
went to the store and asked to buy n
hat. After showing several, Em picked
out one of non-union make, which he Of
fered to Glover for SIPS. Glover select
ed it, but just as Ern was about to de-
liver it to him., Glover called his atten-
ton to the fact that it had no label.
MY friends would guy me if wore
hat without a LABEL remarked Glover
"We can put label in it if you want
it," Ern was said to have replied, adding
that it would cost him another % cents
Glover accepted the proposition and
Ern ripped one from union-made hat
Glover swore that Ern pasted it in the
non-union hat, but Ern contended that
he merely handed it to Glover, who past
ed it in the hat himself Judge Clancy
ruled that it was immaterial whether the
one or the other pasted it in, but thai
Ern became liable when he ripped the
label from the hat in which it belonged
1t was also immaterial, the Judge said
whether he used the hat himself or OF
fered it in stock for sale. Ern claimed
that he wore the hat.
The testimony developed the fact tina
Ern had been suspected of violating tn
law protecting union made hats, and tina

Brewery Workers

John j. Cannon is the first representa-
tive of the Brewery Workers Union to
ever become candidate for the presi-
dency of the Detroit Federation of La
Dor. He is, therefore, the first man in
his organization to be elected president,
says the Detroit Labor News.
The newly-elected president has taken
an active part in the affairs of Detroit
labor for some time, however.
Mr.. Cannon first joined trade union
in 1895, when he became a member of
Beer Drivers Union No. 3S. He soon
came to the front in the affairs of his
organization. He was delegate to sew
en- international conventions of his or
ganization and represented his interna.
tional at the indianapolis convention OF
the American Federation of Labor
He is serving his fourth year as busi-
ness agent of the Beer Drivers and his
third year as secretary of the joint board
of the Brewery Workmen, which is com.
posed of the Brewers, Bottlers, Masters
and Drivers.
President Cannon has been a delegate
to the Federation of Labor for six oil
seven years, but has only taken an
active part in its affairs for the last
two years.

Observed From the Mine Tipp1e
By J. D. RAMSAY

should be SO much like the same class
of material used around the mines at
which these mine officials work. It's
only a coincidence and may have nothing
at all to do with the high cost of pro-
duction of coal, but at the same time it
may be worth inquiring into when coal
mining venturers start out with getting
coal properties by fake homestead fill
ings and defrauding the government. One
cannot expect the strictly righteous deal
ings of a puritan father in employers
and when coal companies are founded
and operated on such foundations it's
not very wonderful if the miner and the
consumers interests do get lost in the
scuffle.
The wretched tinkering with initiated
legislation by the present legislature will
have its effect in the very near future
when after years of fighting the people,
as they thought, divested certain powers
from political gangs, they believed they
had made some advance, but it appears
that no matter what they do these
gangs intend to run things to suit
themselves and practically say to h
with the people. Just as sure as any
governing body ignores the will of the
people, just so sure will they be dealt
with by the people and in exact proper
tion with the crimes will the punishment
be, so you may just imagine the account
incurred by certain people.
Poor Miner Falls For 1t.
Over and over again have reforms been
delayed by petty quarrels among those
most in need of those reforms, and near
ly without exception you can trace the
foundation of those quarrels to the
handiwork of the classes of special priv
ilege. No class under the sun has suf-
fered more from these tactics than the
members of organized labor. You will
notice that in times of trouble operators
begin the time-worn fable of 81 believe
in union labor, but not in walking dele
gates and union leaders," and then pro-
ceed to say what shame it is that this
one and that one should tax the poor
working men for such enormous sums.
We haven't been free from these disrepu-
table practices here in Colorado and run
down you always find that the authors
of these tales are the men who robbed
coal miners of their coal on the tip
pies; who plundered him in company
stores; who clipped his pay check each
pay day under the rotten excuse that
it was for doctor and hospital funds, y
and for fear he had anything left run
saloons and sporting houses and under
taking establishments to clean every
thing The authors, it is quite true, are
as big a set of rascals as one can well
imagine, but this does not excuse the
poor fool OF miner who falls for such
silly rot.
When you hear anyone going around
making general charges against any and
all officers, both national and district
and the poor dupe dares not prefer
charges, you can safely put him down as
a fool who doesn't know or rascal
who does know but who is paid by Others
to create trouble. Just look over the
past and see if you cannot remember
several cases where this has been true
and it's quite as true today. We have
enough real trouble without getting any
readymade by operators agents ant
thinking it's real.
Denver labor bulletin., 1915-04-17

The visit of John d. Rockefeller is ex-
pected at any time now, and for several
reasons We fancy it will be sooner than
some think. We notice feverish desire
in certain quarters to clean up a trifle
and we know from actual experience
that those afflicted with the fever have
no more love OF cleanliness than they
have for any other form of decency.
In the court at Boulder while the trials
of the men charged with the Hecla shoot
ing was going on the judge allowed the
editor of a local paper to sit on the
bench. This man is the one who acted
as paid liar for the operators last year
and wrote that silly TRADE against the
miners and in fit of humor headed it
the "Truth About Ludlow" He is a
paid agent of a certain coal company
and apart from the fact that the dis
tinguished EDITORS breath is so frequent
loaded down with odors which are Pc
culiar to those liquids supposed to be
prohibited in the good city of Boulder,
it is scarcely seemly for such a man to
sit in the seat supposed to be dedicated
to the administration of justice.
Miners Loyal to Contracts.
In selecting a jury to try any case it
is the usual practice to eliminate any
one from it who has had any business
connection with the other side-of course
on the assumption that they would IA
vor the particular side they had been
connected Without if one wanted to
choose jury to convict the present head
of the Victor-American Fuel company
one could not get one more certain to
give such verdict than one composed
of those who had been connected with
him in business and who know him the
most thoroughly. 1t is to be hoped that
the day will never come that any con-
tract entered into by the United Mine
Workers of America ever has been en-
tered into with any other intention than
that OF loyalty abiding by the provisions
it contained and that one is never signed
by any member of the organization when
it was their deliberate intention of
breaking or evading single provision.
Had the Victor-Americans president
been animated by like spirit his COM
mercial reputation would today be vast
ly more creditable than it is.
Worth Inquiring Into.
OF course it's quite accidental that
the materials used to equip certain
ranches owned by certain mine officials
