workers power to secure justice and
rights depends upon his right and, il
necessity, his willingness to strike.
An effort 10 modify, restrict or deny
the right to strike is involved whenever
control over industrial relations is In any
way committed to the power of govern
ment.
When the government is concerned in
a contract or employment it encourages
the idea that to refuse to work is an
act against the government. This is the
greatest danger associated with any
proposition to establish governmental
power of regulation of this character. II
is danger more fully recognized every
day by the workers and all who study
the tendencies and insidious effects of
governmental regulation and control OF
personal rights and freedom.
Certain metropolitan papers have been
irving to associate this movement TO
inaugurate the shorter work day with
political activities both within and with
out the railway brotherhoods. They have
tried to create the impression that there
are dissensions within the unions This,
of course, is in accord with usual tactics
for the purpose of breaking up the
solidarity of the effort. The shorter
workday must and will be established
by the railway workers, and the power
that will establish it will be the trade
union movement.
In all the world there is no such con-
structive institution making for justice,

Economic power is something with
which to conjure; it is to be respected.
1t is indeed significant that the rail
way brotherhoods are not demanding
eight hour legislation, but are demand
ing eight hours through their economic
organizations and to retain their own
control over the regulation OF hours OF
work Thus they will establish a great
boon for themselves, for the railroads
and for the general public, and at the
same time prevent the possibility Of any
outside agency exercising power to regu-
late for them the hours of work.
The railroad managers are trying to
confuse the issue. Among other ques-
tions they ask: Whether the railroads
in responding to the present demand of
the four brotherhoods should reduce the
wages of others?
The railroad brotherbOods replied:
Certainly not. The effect OF wage in
creases to the four brotherhoods in the
past has been to encourage increase in
wages to all other employees. whether or
not they were organized. 1t is true that
in the past two years the railroad com
panics have attempted to show that the
increase pay secured by the employees
who were organized prevented them from
increasing the pay of employees who were
not organized. The purpose of this con
tention has been merely to becloud the
main issue. The fact stands in evidence
that no wage increases were given to the
organized employees until they exerted
every pressure at their command"
It is earnestly to be hoped that the
necessity for strike to secure the just
demands of the railroad men may M
avertcd, but be it understood that the

BREWERYWORKERS
SEEK TO AMEND
PROHIBITION LAW
Circulate Petitions to Permit
Manufacture of Beer
Secretary Koch Issues Statement Ex-
planning Why the Proposition Is
Brought Forth at This Time
By WILLIAM KOCH,

Secretary Brewery Workers Union.
Hundreds of petitions for an amend
ment OF the state prohibition law We're
placed in circulation by the United Brew
cry Workers this week. The petitions
call for a namendment OF the prohibition
law to allow the manufacture and sale
OF beer in Colorado. If the amendment
carries at the November election it does
not mean that any saloons will be re-
opened or that beer and liquor can be
secured at any public drinking place.
The only ones who will be allowed to
sell beer under this amendment are the
breweries, who will deliver same to con-
sumers at their home i'll unbroken pack
ages. Otherwise the prohibition law re-
mains exactly as it is.
Under the law the creweries Will pay
license of 10 cents per barrel Tor all
beer sold, which will mean many thou
sand, OF dollars to the state ,very year.
Thousands of men who have been voted
out OF their jobs also will be re-employed.
Under the present prohibition law
everyone can have all the beer and
liquors to drink they want, but are COM
PEELED to send out of the state for same
Under the proposed amendment the
money now sent out of the state will re.
main here and our working men will re.
ceive the benefit.
The money sent out of the state, ac-
eording to reliable information, amount
20 from So 900 to $4,000 per DAY, which
is lost to Denver forever. What is the
sense OF having law that allow you
to have all the beer you want, but com
pels you to send to Cheyenne or Kansas
City? If the people of this state are al
lowed to drink beer, why not allow the
manufacture of same? The law which
we have now is simply making whisky
drinkers out OF the beer drinkers.
The present prohibition law As it
stands is so ridiculous and silly and
cannot be enforced that the people OF
this state should see that it is amended
SO as to keep our people employed and
keep our people money at home. 1t Is
a manufacturing proposition. 1t does
not mean the reopening of saloons nor
is it an entering wedge for that pur-
pose. 1t is sensible proposition by
which the people of the state can have
Colorado made beer i'll their homes in
place of foreign beer. The people OF the
state should vote for this amendment as
a manufacturing proposition, as a prop
osition to keep Colorado money at home
and employ Colorado labor.

BY ]. B. JENKS,
Chairman Transportation Brotherhood's
Publicity Committee of Denver


Two months ago the railroad employees
of almost every transportation company
in the United States notified the officials
of those roads that they wanted an
eight-hour dav and time and One-half for
overtime for all men in freight train
service. Thursday OF this week con-
ference opened in New York City be-
tween officials of the railroads and rep
resentatives of the railroad employees, for
the purpose of arriving at an amicable
agreement on the question, if possible.
Ii YOU read the literature sent out by
the railroads you will very probably find
a statement somewhere in which it is as
serted that an eight-hour day for these
railway men is impossible, unreasonable,
uneconomic. unfair, or un-somethlng
else.
Suddenly Think of Public.
You will also read that these same
men intend to strike, thereby tieing up
all the railroads in this whole United
States, without even taking the trouble
to let the railroads in on any confer
ence to try to settle the controversy.
Further you will read that these rail
road men are not honest in their demand
for shorter day. that they are after
an increase in wages. You are told that
there are lOO,OOO,OOO people living In
this country, and in order for the rail
roads to meet this increase demanded by
the men, that it will cost each person
"One Dollar" apiece. We wonder why the
railroads are so considerate of the public
at this time. as it is the first time in
the railroads history, if the public has
to stand the expense.
Hundreds of Misstatements.
The railroads are spending hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars informing the public
as to how much they will be taxed; we
in turn wonder if the public will in turn
stand that expense as well.
You will read Hundreds OF other mis-
statements, and those hired by the rail
roads to send the literature out broad
cast know them to be such; every one OF
them contains a twisted statement or
half truth which misrepresents the atti-
tude and demands of the men. The OBJ
iect, of course. if to line up the public
against the railroad workers.
They further inform you that by al
lowing the men what they are asking for
will mean hundred million dollar in
crease to the payrolls OF the railroads.

The trade union movement is the
movement that secures bcttcrmcut in the
lives and work of the toilers.
The trade union movement is the one
agency that is really respected by EN-
ployers and those who wish to exploit
the workers. They know they haNt
nothing to fear from utopian theorists
or the visionary prophets Of mllen'ums,
but they know they must contend
against a real power when demands arc
made by an effective trade union, the
members of which know their rights and
are determined to secure them.
The American Federation OF Labor
maintains that the power of the worker.
comes through their economic organiza-
tions and that this is the real force that
will secure to them all bctterment. This
position finds increasing favor and in
dorscment both among the workers nno
among all others who are studying cur
rent forces in development.
We repeat the hope already expressed
that the railroad mems demands may te
secured without the stoppage OF work
even for moment, but il a strike can
not be avoided, they may count upon the
snccrest sympathy cooperation and
support of the rank and file of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in their
struggle for glorious triumph.

Want Better Things of Life.
The employees have awakened to the
fact that they are entitled to something
better in life than to be required to put
i'll all their time in work and sleep; they
want more time at home with their
families. more time for recreation, more
time for study. the better to enable
them to become better citizens, better
fathers, better husbands, and better
brothers.
They further realized that by simply
asking for. an eight hour day that that
would not get them a shorter day; the
overtime would continue to be piled upon
them, the number of hours worked per
day would not be lessened any. so they
asked for time and half to be paid
for overtime, or for every minute worked
after eight hours the railroads will be
penalized, III other words making it so
expensive for the roads to keep the men
out longer than eight hours that they
will expedite the movement OF trains
sufficiently to keep within the eight hour
day. 1t further means that instead OF
the trains moving from two to six miles
per hour that they will have to at leas
make twelve and one-half miles per
hour, and that surely is not dangerously
fast.
What Eight-Hour Day Means.
If the railroad men are successful in
procuring the eight-hour day, We believc
that the merchant, the farmer, the stock
man, will be benefited by quicker and
better service.
How many OF you have had a car OF
Al on ns.
other cars, dragging along at snail's
pace, stopping here and there to pick up
or set out cars? We are of the honest
opinion that when the railroads have to
pay trainmen time and one-half for
overtime that they will send your cattle
over the road at a faster speed, the mer-
chant will not have to wait so long for
goods purchased, and the public at large
will be benefited thereby.
An eight-hour day does not mean that
at the expiration of eight hours that u
train will be sidetracked till the crews
have rest, no more than it does now with
the ten-bour day.

Mackmen May Tell
Who Will Win Glories
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Connie Mack and his Philadelphia
Athletics. the jokes Of the league
until now. may eventually say just
where the pennant will go In October.
1t doesn't pay to belittle the weak
ling In baseball.
Some years ago 1t was the meek
and lowly Washington club which de-
stroyed the pennant hopes Of the
Cleveland Maps. Just as Lajoie's
lads were about to run helterskelter
through all opposition. they bumped
up against the misfit collection OF
Washingtonians and blew their
chances.
This season Connie Mack's club is
playing the same role.
Al last. after experimenting until
he grew tired. Mack has settled upon
a lineup for the remainder of the
year. And II Is a lineup that Will
cause trouble to every contender In
the race. admittedly the hottest In
the history Of the league.
On their first swing through the
West the Mackmen dropped all fif-
teen games played. On their second
trip they won Just one game and
dropped more than twenty. 1t was
on that trip that they lost twenty
two games in a row. eaualinE the
league record
but no one who knows baseball be-
lieves that the Mackmen will come
anywhere near making such poor
record on their next and last trip
through the West.
