movement for an increase in wages for

SAME WOLF HUNT
WITH NEW GARB
National Industrial Conferen-
Cy Board Organized
Will Probably Supersede National
Association Of Manufacturers in
Carrying on Hostilities

The anti.union wolf has adopted new
garb-thc National Industrial Confer
enoe Board. organized in New York last
week, following the convention OF the
National Founders association 1t is
stated that the new organization has =
membership of 1900 Captains of in
dustry," with IS 5000 Oo0,o 600 capital
Some of the units in the new organi-
zation are:
National Council for Industrial De-
fense-John Kirby, jr., chairman; James
\. Emery, general counsel
National Founders association.
National Metal Trades association.
National Erectors' association-Wal-
ter Drew, general counsel
National Association of Manufactur-
crs-Gcorge Pope, president.
The new organization will probably
supersede the National Association of
Manufacturers as spokesman for en-
ploycrs hostile to remedial legislation.
The latter organization passed under a
cloud from which il never emerged when
a congressional committee in 1918 inves-
tigatcd its lobbying methods. In its re-
port the committee said:
I'VE think it is offensive and outrag-
cous that these associations should have
their paid hirelings about this capitol
buttonholing members of congress striv-
ing to induce them TO remain away from
the chamber when vote was being
taken"
While the same influences that are
behind the National Association of Man
ufacturers are behind the new organiEa-
tion il is clear that these anti-unionists
have profited by the scorching they re-
ceived at the hands of congress during
the Mulhan investigation. This is shown
in the declaration of principles of the
new organization, which are most lamb
like and "brotherly,' save this section,
which may be read two ways:
"To oppose the passage of unsound
and unfair laws and TO urge the amend
ment or repeal of impracticable and un-
Just statutes"
The construction unionists place on
this declaration is supported by reso-
luton passed by the National Founders
association, which places the entire pow
cr and influence of the employing found
ers, manufacturers and shippers, behind
the railroads in their fight to prevent
the enforcement of the Adamson eight
hour law.

placed Tuesday on the United States

Assembly Investigators Uncouer
Collusion to Raise Food Prices
Refrigerator Cars Colorado Roads Used Haul Hay
While Tons of Potatoes and Fruit Are Permitted to
Freeze Spoil in Order to Bull the Market

A mild sensation was caused at the
semi monthly meeting Of the Denver
Trades and Labor Assembly last Sun
day afternoon when the special commit
tee appointed to investigate into the
reasons for the rapid rise OF food prod
ucts made its report. This committee,
sembly and Plumbers Union No. g. con
sisted OF James c. Bulger, chairman; a.
w. Jungbluth, Clayton E. Lohr and Ben
jamin F. Rice.
The report charged that a collusion
exists between the railroads and the
commission, or middle men, which is
largely responsible for the present high
cost OF living in Denver. It was stated
that within the past two weeks at
least 45 carloads of potatoes have been
frozen on the railroad tracks in the
Denver yards thru the collusive plan to
bull the market between the railroads
and middlemen. In Greeley, the commit
tee asserted, ten cars OF potatoes were
permitted TO freeze after being loaded
for shipment.
On November 10. last continued the
report. records of the Colorado & South
ern railroad show that 1t had 675 bad
order cars on hand in this state These
cars. it was contended. should have been
repaired and ready for use in caring
