ASSEMBLY HOLDS A QUIET
ELECTION OF OLD OFFICERS
Continued from page u

which will require that citizens OF the
United States, preferably residents of
Denver, shall be employed on all munic
ipal Improvement work. 1t is designed
to enforce preference of men who make
their homes in this city and prevent con-
tractors importing outside or foreign
cheap laborers, who are housed in camp
tents while the work is being done. In
recent years many complaints have been
filed at Assembly meetings that outside
laborers OF foreign allegiance have been
brought here to work on municipal pro.
jects to the great hurt of bona fide cit
izens and taxpayers who needed the en-
ployment. This ordnance will be urged
for passage at an early meeting OF the
City Council.
Want Private Agencies Abolished.
The Legislative Committee also report
ed that opposition would be presented
to a proposed law that would require all
applicants for work to undergo a search
ing physical examination, as it would
open the way for what in effect might
be a blacklist in many instances.
A movement to have law adopted by
the next State Legislature abolishing
private employment agencies was dis
cussed after being brought forward by
Albert Brady of the Iron Workers union.
1t was stated that in Denver these agen-
'cies are flimflaming applicants for jobs.
Investigate National Preparedness.
President Bulger made statement of
having attended a meeting of the Denver
branch of the National Security League,
which has for its mission the promotion
OF military preparedness by the nation,
and that the Assembly was invited to
have representatives in these meetings.
number OF delegates spoke in favor of
organized labor interesting itself in this
movement along lines suggested by Pres
ident Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor in a recent address before
the National Civic Federation, printed in
The Bulletin last week A motion finally
prevailed authorizing the appointment Of
committee to act with President Bull
ger in investigating the matter, and to
repert its findings and recommendations
at the next meeting. This committee
consists of Delegates Edward j. Hines,
K +. Croskey. Phillip Gray. Thomas o.
spacey and Thomas P. Rodgers.
Urge Child Labor Bill.
Secretary Welsh was instructed to
write each Colorado congressman and
senator urging them to support the Keat-
ing-Owen child labor bill, favorably re.
ported to the House by the Committee
on Labor last week. This bill prohibits
interstate shipment of the products of
children under l6 years of age, and makes
the manufacturer or shipper liable to Sc
we're penalties for any violation. The
bill passed the House last session. but
died in the senate, never coming to a
vote in that body.
Next meeting of the Assembly, Sunday,
February IL. will be held in the new hall
at $50 Eighteenth street. 1t will be 'In-
dustrlal Relations Day." and Hon. e. p.
Costigan has been invited to deliver an
address on this subject.

the name of the cigar, the manufaet
urer's name and the price of same, all

made and union made goods in the right

looked by the trade unionists when pur-
chasing cigars and tobaccoe. This worthy
firm is entitled to your patronage. In
connection with their cigar business
Loritz Bros. do safety razor blade sharp
ening and handle the Gillette safety
razor blades, which they sell at go cents

DALLAS LABOR TEMPLE DEDICATED
Governor Ferguson Makes Eloquent Plea
for Organization of Workers.

A large assemblage was present at the
dedication of the Dallas Labor Temple,
which consists OF three stories and a
basement. The chief address was made
by Governor James E. Ferguson. who re-
ferred to the gains made by organized
labor and who made an eloquent plea
for organization of the workers. He
said:
"As have done before, I advise every
laboring man to join some union. If you
think you are smarter than the average
laboring man, join the union and help
improve it; if you think you are not as
smart as the average union man, then
come into the union and let the union
take care of you.''
President McClory of the International
Association of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers also spoke. State Labor Com
missioner of Labor Woodman and large
delegation of trade unionists from other
cities were present.
Russia's land area is S,4l7,lls square
miles.

Union Men Called "Red Necks."


Walsenburg April 90, 1914.
Union Men Called "Red Necks-"
In effect the court ruled that c. A
| Taylor, Jeff Farr's stenographer, who
took down the alleged confessions, was
too biased to present written evidence
to the jurors. In Saturdays hearing
Taylor testified he ''had no use for any
red neck"
Whom do you, term a red neck y
asked L. p. Costigan, attorney for the
defense.
Red necks are such people as you
associate with" insultingly replied the
witness.
The attendance at the trial to date
has been a distinct disappointment to
the residents of Castle Rock. Having a
population of only 500 or so, the hotel
accommodations are restricted. To meet
this difficulty majority of the people
arranged to open their homes to the trial
visitors, it being estimated that from
800 to 500 would be in daily attendance.
Instead, not to exceed 100 strangers have
been here on any one day during the
three weeks the case has been on.
Jap Interpreter Barred.
An attempt to employ Frank Okomato
as court interpreter, despite the fact that
he is an employe of Prosecutor John
Horne Chiles was successfully opposed by
defense attorneys. Okomato, formerly u
resident of Walsenburg and employed by
Prosecutor Chiles since last November,
was ruled as person unfit for inter
prefer by Judge Denison-
Tom Matsamato, certified as a states
witness and under separate Indictment
for the killing of Lester, was called to
the stand, but refused to testify. He
had been called by the prosecution.
One of the leading figures from organ
lied labor circles in close attendance upon
the trial is James Neely, United Mine
Worker officer from Walsenburg. He
ran for sheriff on the Democratic ticket
in Huerfano County against Jeff Farr,
Republican, at the last election. Farr
was elected on the face of the returns,
but Neely contested and the Supreme
Court now has the case under advise
ment, with a final decision due almost
any day.
Affects Seventy-five Strikers.
If convictions are had in this case, then
the state may elect to bring all of the
seventy-five other indicted former strik-
ers before Juror different juries-to
answer for the same crime If the four
now on trial are acquitted, it seems
likely that the cases against the more
than three score and ten yet pending
will be dismissed, altho the attorneys
for the state have not given so much
as an intimation that such a course will
be pursued.
The point is, according to representa-
tive citizens of Huerfano County, that
the taxpayers there must stand the ex.
penses of the prosecution. They are
willing to do this, they say, If the guilty
can be convicted. But they will object
to the making of repeated expensive and
futile attempts to gain these convictions

neither the time nor the means to
enable me to see personally each

my friends to ask for this Office

been liberal in the past and
trust that you will be disposed to
assist me by giving me your vote
on next. Tuesday.
