ALL HONOR MEMORY
OF ROBERT E. LEE
Not Only the South, But the North
and Al! Foreign Countries
Join In Laudation of
the Southern
Hero.

Y ANUARY 19 Is the anniversary
or Robert Edward Lee and is
~ observed as q legal holiday in
~ nearly all Of the southern
states. There are appropriate exer-
cises In many Of the schools through
out the Southland, and around the
camp fires Of Confederate veterans
glowing eulogies are heard.
In the southern Confederacy there
was no lack of general officers of high
talent and the best Of military train
ing In 1851 its brigades and divisions
and corps and armies were command
ed by men Of exceptional character
and distinction. And to the end Of
the war great men were at the head
of the principal commands. But Rob.
ert E. Lee, who commanded the
famous Army Of Northern Virginia.
was the most widely revered and the
most truly beloved Of all the South's
galaxy Of war heroes.
Although General Lee had come OF
lighting stock and was himself cava-
lier Of the cavaliers, he loved the
walks of peace rather than the armed
camp; but being loyal son Of old
Virginia and placing duty to state
above all else in his military profes.
sion, he resigned his colonelcy in the
United States army and declined q
large and conspicuous general com.
mand on the Union side in order that
he might fight in defense of his own
commonwealth. Other men who
achieved brilliant triumphs dur.
Ing the four years Of bloody conflict
were well poised as we'll as intrepid,
but Lee, with his exalted ideals,
seemed the best rounded and the no.
blest Of them all. He was a devout
Christian, but his piety was as unos.
tentatious as his military life.
The observance Of Lees anniversary
IS not confined to the South, for the
memory Of the South's illustrious
chieftain has long been honored in the
North and in all foreign countries.
Those who fought against the South
have spoken harshly Of some of the
southern leaders, just as some OF those
who fought against the North have
spoken with bitterness against their
old.time foes; but no self-respecting
soldier ever thought Of Lee except
with admiration or with the utmost re-.
spect.

NO DEARTH OF
SKILLED LABOR
in COLORADO
Building Crafts Refute Re-
ports in Daily Papers
Business Agents Say There Are
Sufficient Men Here to Meet
the Demands in ALI
Lines Of Work

Articles have appeared in the daily
papers of Denver during the past week
asserting there was great need for more
skilled laborers in Denver and other in
dustrial centers of Colorado. 1t was said
this is especially true of the building
trades and machine shops.
The Denver Post printed 4 story in
which A ]. Simonson, president of the
real estate bureau of the Civic and
Commercial Association, is quoted as
saying that "an investigation has dis
closed that there is a great shortage of
skilled labor in Denver and that the
yards and other industries can use a
large number of men if they can be
obtained"
Bulletin Keeps in Touch.
While conditions in Denver and thru
out the state are better now than for
five OF six years past, there is no call
for an influx OF mechanics. The Bulle-
tin keeps in close touch with the labor
situation and is satisfied the statement
made by Mr.. Simonson and printed in
the daily papers is not justified by the
facts. True, the slack has been taken
up. and there are very few skilled work
ers now out OF employment, but flood
of men, such as the real estate boosters
appear to crave in order to exploit the
business. would quickly create an army
of unemployed.
What Business Agents Say.
In order to present this matter to the
workers and prevent any great injury
being done by the daily press stories, a
representative of The Bulletin asked
many OF the business agents of the
crafts specified for a statement as to the
situation. and the following is given as
their views:

they were called back to work There
are very few idle machinists anywhere
in the country. but none of the Denver
concerns are suffering from lack of en-
ployes at present.

good in the building trades and resident

CHURCH 0RGANISTS MAY
FORM PROTECTIVE UNION
CONDITION OF CHURCH MUSICIANS
ARE THE WORST POSSIBLE.
Underpaid and overvorked Is the Charge
Made by Writer in New York
Musical Courier.

Exploitation OF musicians by churches
is alleged and a demand for the organ
ization OF union as a means of ade-
quate pay is made in letter from a
New York organist printed in The Mu-
sicaal Courier, The correspondent says
in part:
Would the Musical Courier be inter
ested in supporting the formation of a
protective union of church organists ?
We all know how necessary unions are
to wor&meu in trades, what their con-
ditions would be without them, and what
they are where unions do not exist.
The conditions in churches are so bad
they could not be worse. 4 number of
churches, contrary to custom, do not
name the salaries they will pay, but
require candidates to state their lowest
terms and then appoint the cheapest, re-
gardless of ability or anything else.
Other churches demand that organists
shall play for prayer meetings, Sunday
schools, etc.
Now that churches perceive how bad
conditions are among the organists, they
are taking advantage OF we situation by
demanding anything and everything of
them over and above their legitimate
work. Salaries are atrociously low. and
| think no class OF people are paid so
little in proportion TO their ability and
expense of education as the church or
ganists. The situation is getting worse
all the time.
Il have several times heard church
musicians say that if they sold their
services to any member OF the liquor
trade they would probably be treated
better, kinder, paid more. etc, than
when they play or sing in churches"
