Ciearrnakers
(By ]. W. Sanford.)

At our regular semi monthly meeting
Tuesday evening several matters of i'm
portance were taken up and disposed of
which included a score of communica-
tions from as many different localities,
all pertaining to union affairs. In addi-
tion there was almost as many more
from political aspirants asking our sup
port at the primaries Those that were
known to be friendly to us were given
our endorsement Individually.
Our delegates to the State Federation
of Labor convention, F. A Mangini and
Eli NJ Gross, made verbal report of
the work done which, however, was quite
complete and was listened to attentively
by the members present.
Herbert Bean came down from Rapid
City, South Dakota, where he has been
employed for some months and has
taken job here temporarily, being on
his way to his home in Portland, Oregon.
Herbert had the nerve racking expert
ence in Denver a few years ago of see-
versation with shot and instantly killed
as the two sat on the side of a bed in
a rooming house near Nineteenth and
Larimer, by slightly demented COM
panion, who then turned the weapon on
himself, blowing the top of his head off.
Herbert did not regain his equilibrium
for several days, and won't walk on that
side of the street even now.
A committee consisting of the presi-
dent, secretary and shop collectors was
appointed to report some plan to the
union that will have the effect of stim-
ulating the patronage of all labels by
our members, which We regret to say,
is being neglected by some, now that
they are so busy that they do not think
it worth while to pay any attention to
any one else, thinking no doubt that
everybody else is as prosperous as they
are and do not care for their help. No
person can consistently ask Others to
patronize his label if he fails to patron
ize all others.

tin is sure an encyclopedia of labor in.

chinists Union No. AZ has been confined
to his home, 36l7 Clay street, for the
past two weeks with an attack of typh.
old fever. For time his condition was
very serious, but considerable improve

able to sit up part of the time. Evans

hope for his early and complete recovery.

Leather Workers
(Compiled BY Cassidy

The annual audit of the books of
General Secretary Treasurer John j.
Pfeiffer held last month, showed that the
condition of the Brotherhood is vastly
better than at any time since the 1910
strike. Not only is the cash balance
greater, but the orking conditions thru
out the jurisdiction are steadily improv-
ing. Many of the largest locals have
been built up within the past two years.
The same is true of Local No. 25 in
Denver. which has made the largest per-
centage of gain in membership within
the last year, only small number of
leather workers in the city being out of
the fold at the present time.
When the encroachments of the motor
car on the trade is taken into considera-
tion the significance of the gain can be
realized. 1t shows that the leather
workers are alive to the situation, and
are rapidly taking steps to protect their
future as far as possible.

company, one of the largest shops in

Iron Moulders

Business Agent Alex Kreager of the
Structural Iron Workers reports that
business continues good for the iron
boys. Union men have been put to work
on a new flour mill at Pueblo, and a
crew was sent to Cheyenne to work on
some new structures for the Western
Light and Power company. Another
Cheyenne job employing union men is
being constructed by the Minneapolis
Steel and Machinery company.
Frank Carlson, superintendent of the
Omaha Structural Steel company, was in
Denver this week arranging for the plac-
ing of $50 tons of structural steel in the
erection of new warehouse at Twenty
first and Blake streets. This also, is a
union job.

Bricklayers

Application has been made by MEM
bers of the Denver Brick Contractor
association before the state industrial
commission for hearing in the dispute
with members of the Bricllayers' union
in regard to wages. Date for the hear
ing has not yet been set. Last spring
the members of the union were granted
a raise in wages from So to 81 a day. A
month ago members of the contractors
association filed notice with the indus
trial commission that their employees had
violated an agreement not to work for
any but members of the association. In
consequence they declared they intended
to reduce wages to SO a day again. The
notice expires September IL and the en-
ployers want an immediate hearing. The
Bricklayers union deny that they ever
agreed to work only for members of the
association, but of course did agree to
work for no contractor paying less than
the scale of 81 per day.

REPUBLICANS. BE HARMONIOUS.

The Republicans in this state, by
splitting on a state ticket, are surely
counting defeat They can expect
nothing worse that defeat with Phil
ipp, Hatton and McGovern in the field.
1t will be pie" for the Democrats to
secure the election of their man.
The recent fighting in the ranks of
the state Republicans should be stop
ped. Either they should decide on one
of the three men running or they can
make up their mind that Democracy
and mismanagement will rule over
the state
Cooperation and unity should be
the by-word of the state party as we'll
as with the national party. Lack of
harmony means nothing worse than
what this country has suffered since
the Democrats gained the administra-
ton in 1912.
So let's all join hands, decide on
one strong Republican ticket for the
state and see Wisconsin become more
prosperous, which she certainly will
not do if Democrat is elected.

SIGNATURES BEYOND REFORM.
Banker Says Signature Is Style and
Soon Recognized.

Did you ever think as you signed
person who hands you over your
money could decipher your name or
not? Perhaps not, but the majority
of bankers hardly ever stop to de-
cipher the writing on check. The
signature of all their depOsitors is
impressed like a picture on their
minds. Some people think it might do
well to carry the idea of slant writ
ing to the business men as they are
the worse transgressors in handwrit-
ing.
What does a banker think of sigma
tures?" was the question put to Hen
ry Mulberger of the Bank of Water
town
"The handwriting of the average
man doing business in a bank is be-
yond 1eform, he said. at has be-
come a fixed style When a depositor
opens an account he is given a sigma
ture card and asked to sign it in the
style he will sign his checks. This
signature is like familiar picture
to the paying teller. He will recognize
it as soon as he sees it, even though he
can't make out the lettering. Every
man has his own personality and it
is shown in his writing. No one
writes the same, and we soon notice
any forgeries. Some men who posses
the best business ability are the worst

PROVIDE BATH HOUSES FOR
PEOPLE.

Quite a hubbub has been raised at
Milwaukee regarding bathing cOndi-
tons at their beaches. The people of
WatertoWn can sympathize with them
for they know what it is to be with
out bath houses There is a little diff
ference with regard to the two places
however. Milwaukee has some houses
while this city has not.
In the budget of last fall $500 was
listed to be spent on public bathing
houses. So far nothing has been done
to erecting these places. 1t is fun
ny thing. On all sides we hear ar
guments about keeping clean, especi-
ally during summer, and yet no
chances to keep clean are offered.
Upon reliable authority it has been
said that there were at least fifty peo-
pie on Friday at Riverside park bath
ing. Now if the people desire to swim
why can't they have decent places to
keep their clothes in. Some who were
fortunate in living near by donned
their hathlng suits at nome and COW
cred them with bath robe while go
ing to the park; others who lived a
distance from the park doned their
clothes behind bushes or in the pump
ing station.
1t seems that there is nothing more
needed in this city than an opportun-
ity to have access to water and it is
a disgraceful shame that there is any
difficulty about it.
Complaints were heard by these
who denounced the aldermen who are
neglecting the welfare of their con-
stituents. 1t is time that the alder
men took tumble to themselves and
provided some kind of shelter for the
bathers, even if only temporary for
the remainder of this summer.
