Labor Press Announces a
Change Of Policy
J. Charles Deus Elected l. T. u. Del

Especial Correspondence

Pueblo, Oolo., May 3l.-The Pueblo
Labor Press, which has been published
during the past four years as the Off
cial paper OF the Pueblo Trades and La
Dor Assembly, mas announced a change
in name and policy, and will this week
appear as The Industrial Sentinel. 1t
will no longer be the official paper of
organized labor. and expects to direct its
energies to the industries of the Arkan.
sas valley.
For several months past there has been
some difficulty between the publisher,
Robert c. Trcmaine, and the Assembly.
Recently he proposed to sell the paper
to the central body for $500, but the
proposition was turned down. Trcmaine,
who is member of the Musicians Un-
ion, took over the paper from Ed Andcr-
son when the latter was elected secrc-
tary-treasurer of the State Federation
of Labor and moved to Denver. II is un.
dcrstood the paper has been a losing
venture financially.
Carnival a Big Success.
The street carnival held last week in
Pueblo under auspices of the Trades and
Labor Assembly was quite financial
success. ami the sum OF Sss2.35 was
turned into the treasury. Great crowds
throngcd the streets every night and the
various shows were literally patronized.
A charter has been secured by the
Moving Picture Operators, and they will
now have union of their own. inde-
pendent of the State Employees. 1t will
be known as Local No. AIS and the Of
ficers are Frank Grahek president; L. r.
Walker. recording secretary. and w. A.
Howard. financial secretary and treas
urcr.
Vote of Thanks for Fletcher.
w f. Fletcher. deputy sheriff and a
member of Stationary Engineers Union
No. 81, was extended vote of thanks
by his union for his recent trip to Wal
senburg and investigation into the condi-
tion of the eight La Ncta strike victims
confined in Jail there. For nearly two
years these men We're kept in the Pueblo
Jail, until taken to Castle Rock for trial.
where they were acquitted a second time
and Immediately rearrested upon other
alleged charges by order of Attorney
General Fred Farrar.
A fund is now being raised by orgau-
lied labor men in Pueblo to provide the
prisoners with n few human comforts
and proper food while confined in Jeff
Fairs hastilc. There seems to be no
disposition on part of the state authori-
ties to grant them another trial or re-
lease them on bond.
