STAGE employees
GET WAGE RAISE
Increase Ranges From $3.50
to S. Per Week of s Days
New Schedule Agreed 10 in Friendly
Conferences Between Union and
Managers Of Theaters

Denver Theatrical Stage Employees
Union No. 7, has just signed a new wage
schedule with all the theater managers
OF this city. which brings to the mem
bers of this organization an increase
ranging from $3.50 to IS per week of
six days This agreement was reached
thru a series of amicable conferences
between a committee OF the union and
like committee of the theater managers.
A copy of the original schedule was
given the managers and notice filed with
the state industrial commission. Novem-
Der 4, stipulating that il should become
effective December 4. However, the
good offices of the industrial commits
sion were not required, as the agreement
was reached between the union and the
managers and became effective Deem
Der 4, the date originally named.
The scale committee representing the
union comprised p. n. Candy, Tom
Hannen, Earl Jaynes, Gerald Barger and
A W. Hamilton. This is quite victory
for the stage employees and places the
members OF this organization upon =
higher wage plane in Denver than they
have ever been before. 1t is matter
of pleasing note to say that all OF the
conferences between the managers and
representatives of the union leading up
to the signing OF the new agreement
were of the most friendly character.
There was no disposition on the part of
the managers TO combat a raise of
wages, as they appreciate that the pres
ent increased cost of living made such
a movement on the part OF their en-
ployes a necessity. The best of good
feeling exists between the theater man
ayers Of Denver and all union members
of the various branches employed in
their houses.
While Denver theaters are open seven
davs or nights each week, the stage en-
ployes have been able to establish six
day week by means OF Swing men TO
relieve on the seventh day and other
methods to suit this peculiar craft.

PUEBLO CITY HALL TO BE BUILT
OF STONE FROM STATE QUARRY

quarries are located only twenty four
miles west of Pueblo.
Awarding of this important contract
to the Turkey Creek company and the
use of Colorado material means that the
citizens of Pueblo believe that the only
way to bring real prosperity to Colorado
is to patronize home industries.
Appeal to State Pride.
In this connection it may be well to
say that the recent movement inaugu-
rated here in Denver to erect monuments
in the Civic Center affords a splendid
opportunity for the use of Colorado mar
bic so that all who visit this attractive
spot in the future may be able to recog
niEc the value and opportunities of our
own resources. Those who donate money
for this purpose should specify the use
of Colorado material, regardless of the
well known friendship of certain archi.
tects for foreign material
Had Grand Junction, Trinidad. la
Junta and Greeley adopted the same
course pursued by the citizens of Pueblo
in demanding Colorado material for the
public buildings of those cities. an i'm.

ANDERSON LEADS
A WINNING STRIKE
State Labor Secretary Returns
From Successful Mission
Had Charge Of Barber Strike in Bill
inss, Mont, Which Establishes a
NewIRecerd for That Union

Ed Anderson, secretary of the Colo
rado State Federation OF, Labor, and
western organizer for the International
Journeymen BARRIERS Union, returned
Wednesday from Billings, Montana,
where he had charge of the most success
full BARRIERS strike in the history OF that
organization. The men struck for in
creased wages and shorter hours, 65 jour
neymcn being involved, which comprised
every barber in the city.
After being out one week an agree
ment was reached with the boss BARRIERS
whereby wages are increased from SIS to
SIS per week and hours reduced from 10
10 nine per day. At the expiration of
ninety days the weekly wage is to be
$3.50 and then in another ninety days
it advances to SIS, which becomes the
fixed weekly wage during the life of
the agreement.
This is the best BARRIERS union scale
in the country" said Anderson, in giving
an account of the strike to The Bulletin.
1t is the first instance in the history of
our organization where a local union be-
succeeded in establishing a fiat scale OF
wages and discarded the percentage sys-
TEN. Henceforth members of Billings
union will receive stipulated wage
agreed to and the boss BARRIERS will con-
troll the work and all profits over and
above that paid out for wages This
places the BARRIERS on the same wage
basis as other organized wage earners
and promises to bring about a complete
revolution of the old, or present, system
whereby BARRIERS receive q small wage
and then n percentage over stated
amount turned in each week. feel con-
fident that the system thus established
by the BARRIERS in Billings will soon be-
come the rule thruout the entire juris-
diction OF the International Journeymen

The boss harbers," continued Ander-
son, put up mighty stiff fight and
were supported by the employers asso-
citation of that city. We, of course. had
the cooperation of organized labor there
and it was impossible for the bosses to
secure non-union help, so that the shops
were closed tight for an entire week.
After being out that length of time,
during which the boss BARRIERS refused TO
confer with a committee representing the
union, l went TO one OF the banks. de-
posted $1,000 in cash which had been
forwarded me from international head
quarters in Indianapolis, and placed an
order with q Cincinnati firm for chairs
and other equipment TO open up shop,
the location having been rented. This
immediately brought the bosses to terms
and they were anxious TO talk business,
following which an agreement as above
outlined was quickly reached

DENVER MAILERS LOSE OUT
BEFORE STATE COMMISSION
Mclaughlin and Lannon Sign Majority Adverse
Opinion in This Famous Case Williams Dis
sents on Findings as to Wages

After an interminable series of de-

vague promises, the Colorado state in

ed down decision in the famous case
of Mailers Union No. versus the Post
Publishing company and the Denver Pub

for a wage increase and improved
sanitary working conditions were re-
fused. The decision was signed by
Chairman E. E. Mclaughlin and Frank

memorandum, was given by Commission
er Wayne C. Williams.
This was one of the first cases filed
with the industrial commission under
the new law and has been hanging fire
for nearly eighteen months. The wages
OF about twenty men employed on the
three papers were involved and the total
increase would have amounted to less
than $50 per week. Yet the commission,

Pueblo's new city hall will be con-

when bids were opened and n contract
awarded the Turkey Creek Stone com
pany for furnishing the building ma

Vigorous protests of indignant citizens
of Pueblo and of others interested IN
having Colorado products specified in the
contract, resulted in thwarting the
scheme of Architect Stickncy and the
city commissioners to use stone from the
quarrics at Bedford, Indiana. Architect
Stickncy's original specifications for the
building gave scant recognition to the
Colorado material. The paragraph writ
ten by him in the preliminary contract
naming the kind OF stone to be used
read as follows: From grade line to
water table three courses to be of Tur.
