that such mark of respect should

Why Not Denver Labor?
or Denver Labor Bulletin:


Dear Sir-The carpenters of Denver
are still on the job looking out for build
ing trim being shipped here by some Of
our "patronizc home industry" boosters,
We wish to call attention to the fact
that all of the doors which are going into
the new childrcn's hospital at Nineteenth
and Downing are coming from the East,
thru the firm of McPhee & McGinnity.
There are about $50 of these doors, which
means at least $3.50 more good Denver
donation money sent away. The doors
being placed in the c. S. Miller apart
ment house at Twelfth and Logan, to the
number of about 200, furnished by the
HaIlack & Howard Lumber company, are
from Eastern factories.
These doors could just as well have
been made in Denver, by Denver labor,
but it seems as tho it has gone out of
| fashion to manufacture doors here any
longer. Denver labor formerly made ut
least 90 per cent of these doors right
here at home, and they gave satisfaction.
Now Denver labor manufactures about 2
per cent, and our well equipped planning
mills seem to be in the background or
ready for the junk pile. Denver contrac-
tors are going in strong for the mail or
der business, and the money that should
be paid in wages here at home, departs
never to return.
There are at present about 300 men
employed in the Denver mills, and enough
finished material is being used here TO
give steady employment and wages Ia
at least 600 men.
It seems to be all right for the business
men to preach home industry to work
ingmcn and advice them to shun mail or
der houses Of the East. 30 long as they

C. p. Rice, Justice of the peace and
Job printer. Over his desk in neat
frame hangs an honorary withdrawal
card from D. T. U. No. 40, signed by
John T.. Collett and Secretary Frank
G. Birdsall. Cowboy Rice, as he will
be remembered by some of the old
timers, formerly rode the range In
summer and worked on the old Dem

put in time on the Salt Lake Trib-

the Tribune office, where Cowboy" Rice
had situation, and touched him for
enough to get meal ticket. later on
Foster got an appointment in the gov
eminent printing office in Washington

enough money to get John there.
I think that old stuff about Cowboy
ever punching cows during the summer
is one of John Collett's pipe dreams. The
nearest Rice ever got to being COW

the way, believe he did have pair of
swell chaps hung up on the wall of his
room down at the Saints Rest in Omaha
At any rate, the boys gave him the name
of Cowboy" which has stuck to him
ever since.
Rice was one of the sure enough old
time printers of the "halcyon days" He
was the mecca that caused all the tour
lists to make him an early visit upon
their arrival in town. Cowboy" would

charitable heart for the fellow who was
down and out. I'll bet money that he's
trying to save stake right now over in
Glenwood. I'll take another bet that he
let's every poor tramp out of Jail who
is brought into his court, and stakes him
to coin to get out of town.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks,
and know Cowboy" Rice is just as
good, charitable and as kindly of heart
as he was in the old days, even IL he has
homesteaded over in Glenwood Springs.

A JOLT FOR JOE
By WILL s. MAUPIN

Joe wouldn't join the union, and he swore
he would be free;
To any walkin' delegate he'd never bow
his knee.
He settled his own wages and he said
he'd go alone
He swore he'd tend his business and let
others tend their own.
And Joe swelled up right chesty, and
said he'd make bold to state
He'd never be hornswoggled by walk
in delegate.
A comrade told Joe capital was organ
lied for greed,
But Joe just laughed and hooted and he
didn't give it heed.
He reckoned he was smart enough for
holding up his end
Against all schemers OF grindin' down
that capital could send.
So with merry "ha! hal" Joe kept toll
in until late,
And said he'd stand no bossin' from a
walkin' delegate.
The bosses cut down wages and the union
men all struck;
But Joe just knuckled under, and tight
to his job he stuck.
And when the employers cheered him and
said, Heres hero, see!"
Joe thought he was one surely, and felt
proud as he could be.
And then they cut his wages nearer to
starvation's rate
But Joe said, "I'll keep on workin' spite
the wall>in' delegate"
Then work stopped because the bosses
couldn't scare up "scabs" enough,
And then Joe was on his uppers and was
feeling mighty tough,
Then, when union men were sent for
cause they knew their chosen trade,
An agreement with the union and a
higher wage was made.
But Joe found himself at leisure to sit
down and contemplate
The freedom he was proud of from the
wall,in' delegate.
