CITY FIRE LADDIES
HIT SERVICE BILL
Issue Letter Urging Firemen
of State to Oppose It
Declare Proposed Measure Would En-
danger Pension Fund and Open
Way for Machine Politics

Twenty-Five representatives of the
fire department from the different fire
houses i'll the city assembled in the
office of Secretary c. w. Cochran of the
municipal civil service commission one
afternoon this week to discuss the pro-
posed civil service amendment, which is
to be voted on at the general election.
The representatives were addressed by
the secretary and by Chief Healy of the
fire department on the amendment, and
voted unanimously to oppose the meas
ure.
1t was explained that the amendment
had been drawn by the Civil Service Re-
form association at the suggestion of
Governor Carlson thru misunderstand-
ing as to its effect on the status OF mum
icipal employees and that the association
had now repudiated it and was itself
seeking to defeat it.
A committee to work with the police
mems committee and the reform associa-
ton against the passage of the measure,
was named as follows: Clinton Turnbull,
chairman; Patrick Boyne, William AL
ward, ]. w. Howe and Stephen Keating.
This committee later drafted a let
ter which was mailed this week to all
firemen and policemen in the state, urg-
ing them to oppose the measure, which
will appear on the ballot as amendment
No. 2.
In addition to the letter thousands OF
cards have been printed and will be
distributed by policemen and firemen
whose positions are said to be endan-
gered by the amendment.
The letter sent out says:
"The Civil Service Reform association,
which initiated the proposed civil service
amendment to the constitution at con-
siderable expense to its members, has
issued n letter to the voters of Colorado
asking them to vote against it.
"The action was taken after it was
found that the amendment would place
in jeopardy the tenure of office of the
present policemen and firemen of the
city and would probably rob them of
any benefits from the pension and relief
funds, which have been built up by them
from assessments on their salaries for
the last twelve years.
with the friends of the proposed
amendment now opposing it, there is no
reason why anyone should vote for it.
"The amendment places all employees,
not only in Denver, but in every other
city of the state, of over 1000 inhabit.
ants, under a commission appointed by
the governor.
'This is return to the machine politics
which cursed nepver when the governor
appointed the fire and police board and
board of public works. 1t will be even
worse, because all employees in Denver
and every other city of the first and
second class will be appointed from lists
furnished by commission named by the
governor"

ELECTION BOARDTO
PLAN 9 DISTRICTS
Work of RediStriCting City to
Begin in Few Days
Will Conform to New City Chart Q
and Place Limit Of 500 Voters to
Each Election Precinct

Complete re-districting of the city for
election purposes will be undertaken by
the election commission Immediately
after the November election. Not only
will the precincts be re-arranged so as
to conform with the election law but in
addition the districts themselves will be
changed.
If the plans prepared by President
Samuel R Crawford are carried out
there will be only nine election districts,
instead of sixteen, and these nine dis
trcts will conform with the nine alder
manic precincts provided for in the char
ter amendment under which Robert w.
Speer was elected mayor. The commits
sion expects to complete its work in
time for the municipal election next
May.
Redistricting of the city is made neces-
sary by the unprecedented increase OF
Denver's population since May, 1914,
when the present 1913 precincts were laid
out. At that time every precinct con-
formed with the provision of the election
law which says that no precinct shall
contain more than 500 voters.
A study of the poll books for the cleo
tion next Tuesday discloses that today
there are ninety-one precincts which con-
tain more than 500 voters. and con-
siderable number in which exceeding 700
voters, are registered. As n matter of
fact, the 1913 precincts today average a
registration of 495.
District d, comprising the downtown
hotel district; District y. containing the
southeastern section of Capitol hill; Dis
trict o, in which are located part Of
North Denver, Highlands and Berkeley,
and District L, in which are included
the Washington park district and a sec
tion of South Denver, are the districts
in which most of the precincts contain
ing more than 500 voters are located.
Out of eleven precincts in District d,
nine have more than 500 voters and of
these nine. six have more than 600.
Practically every precinct contains
more voters today than in May. 1914,
showing conclusively that Denver's pop
ulation has increased during the past
two years. In no other way can the
large increase in The voting population
be accounted for.
The work of redistricting and rear.
ranging the precincts will require sew
eral months. In order to do the work
right the voters in every block must be
counted. The present registration lists
will be used as basis for this work.
The members OF the commission say
that ii order to bring all precincts with
in the 500 limit they will be compelled
to increase their number materially

NO IDLE LABOR AFTER THE WAR
British Labor Delegate Predicts a Re-
adjustment of Conditions.

after the war there is going to be
an entire readjustment OF working con-
ditions in England to the end that in
the future there will be no likelihood
of able bodied workmen being forced to
be idle three days out Of the week, as
often happened before the war" That
prophecy was made by Harry Gosling, a
British labor leader, who sailed from
Liverpool for New York Wednesday with
w. w. Whitefield of the Miners Federa-
ton of Great Britain as representatives
of British labor at the Baltimore con-
vention of the American Federation OF
Labor. Gosling continued:
"The entry of women into labor fields
is naturally going to be something to
think of after the war. What is going
to be done with million or SO of women
who have taken mems places is some
thing I cannot forecast.
"The women have formed their own
trade unions and they have become pow
erful. After the war these trade unions
are going to make trouble"
