business agent of the Bartenders' union
was unanimously elected permanent sec
retary.
The committee voted to incorporate a,
once sub committee being appointed
TO attend to this matter, then a com
mittee OF two was appointed to look
up the leasing of suitable building
Tor the establishment of the general lab
or headquarters.
The plans of the committee is to have
place sufficiently large to have at
least four meeting halls, these to com
prise large halls for large membership
unions and grade down to small one
for the smaller unions. 1t is contem-
plated to have at least one hall that
can be used for conventions. social dances
and meeting of the assembly and other
large bodies; club rooms, ladies' rest
and retiring rooms, and an office where
the desks of the various business agents
can be arranged: in fact, a business and
general home established for the union
people of the city. Such place the
committee now has in view and 1t is
hoped and expected that before the be.
ginning of the New Year plans will have
taken definite shape that the Labor
headquarters will be an accomplished
fact.
At present the building in which the
Trades Assembly is located is being re-
paired extensively. The owner Ex-Sen-
ator T. NJ Patterson has expressed him
self as being willing to fix it up in any
way suitable to the unions, and it !.
said he might be induced to cooperate
with them to a certain extent in the
erection of labor temple.

IT WAS A GOOD FIGHT

Referring to the recent election in
Spokane, the Labor World says: d.
C. Coates has again lost his campaign
for city commissioner, but he may well
be proud of the fight he made. for the
cause for which he stands, and for the
loyalty and earnestness of the men and
women who stood behind him. No other
man in this town has ever had the sup
port of men and women of the charac-
ter and purpose such as these who have
stood behind him in three notable cam
paigns. Nor need he be proud alone OF
those who supported him, but as well
may he be proud of the opposition he
aroused-for it was an opposition OF
the character that always sets it's face
like flint against light, honesty and hu-
man Advancement. Every monopoly in
fluence in the city, every grating poll
tician, the big newspapers, the corrupt
and sensational penny rag, all the pub
lie service corporations, every labor
grinding employer who refuses to treat
in the open with his men-all in one
mighty phalanx stood against this man.
Their sole reason for fighting him was
that they could not control him for
their corrupt and inhuman purposes
their opposition is a tribute to his
worth. Coates failure of election is
but temporary setback in the cause
for which he battIes-the cause will tri-
umph in the end, as today, Coates and
all those who stand with him for the
principles and purposes which animate
their lives and acts, will have good
cause to be proud of the fight they
have made"

OF THE NEDERLAND UNION.

Several weeks ago The Bulletin con-
tanned an article concerning the organi-
zation of Nederland Union of the West
ern Federation of Miners, and gave the
name of the organizer as John w. Ben
nett. We are in receipt of letter from
Mr.. Bennett, and he disclaims any con-
nection with the work or unron-and
asks that he be set right. The Bulletin

LABEL The HOME
Secretary of Local No. IS makes Perti-
nent Suggestion, that Will be follow
ed by Printers Trustees.

As is known, the recent referendum
of the Printers voted favorably on the
proposed increase of the per capita tax
for the maintenance and building of an
addition to the Union Printers home
at Colorado Springs. Work on the same
will start in the near future, and, will
of course, be all done by union labor
Anvent this proposition, the suggestion
below, from Secretary and Business
Agent Bob Currie of Carpenters Union
No. So, of Denver, is timely, and is
respectfully referred to Superintendent
John Daily and Trustee, Thos. MacCaf-
frey, of the Home, who will have di-
rect supervision of the new work, and
the Bulletin feels safe in assuring Bro.
Currie that the request will be complied
with. The suggestion is as follows:
To the Editor of The Denver Labor Bull
letin:
More food for thought. In reading
over last weeks Bulletin, I note that
work on the new buildings at the Union
Printers Home at Colorado Springs is
about to begin, and 1 just want to call
the building committees attention to the
fact that the Carpenters have a union
label which can be had on all interior
wood work. While I hate to have to
admit that We have no shops or mills
using our label here in Denver, we have
two mills in Colorado Springs and one
in Pueblo which use our label and turn
out work that is excelled by none, and
as the printers always want us to de-
mand the bug on all our printing, hope
that they will see to it that the Car
penter's label is on all of the mill work.
Bert White, of 1916 Grant avenue. Colo
RADIO Springs, is the secretary of the
Carpenters State Council, and will glad
ly give any information concerning the
label,
