both mitts for the welcome home gag,

Machinists Union No. 47 has issued a
statement concerning the refusal of the
Leyner Engineering Works at Littleton
to comply with their agreement of the
S1a hour day on July l. Under the set
tlement following decision OF the State
Industrial Commission substantially sus.
tanning the Machinists' demands, there
was a strike lasting one week. A set
tlement with thirty-three contract shops,
including the Leyner concern, was then
reached whereby the eight-hour day was
to be established by reducing the work
day fifteen minutes every four months
and increasing the pay, so that by jan
uary l, 1917, the eight hour day and 40
cents per hour would become the fixed
schedule. With exception of the Leyner
Engineering Works, all the other parties
have lived up to the agreement. There
fore the Leyner plant has been declared
unfair and union machinists are not per-
mitted to work there.

l, Federated Shopmen, has asked the

(By William Koch.)

trip to the Western Slope in the inter
est OF the beer amendment to the state
constitution. He reports that when peo-
pie thorolv understand what the pro-
posed amendment means they are at once
in favor OF it. Most people are OF opin-

saloons. but when shown thatlit does in
no way mean that, and simply provides
that the people of this state shall be
allowed to have Colorado made beer as
well as Eastern or foreign beer, they are
in favor Of the amendment, not only as
home industry proposition, but also
that Colorado breweries, labor and farm
ers may be given the same opportunities
as outsiders. They are opposed to boy
cotting Colorado factories. Colorado labor
and Colorado farmers for the benefit of
Eastern concerns. and take the stand
that if it isn't sin or against the Jaw
to drink all kinds OF liquor in Colorado,
why should it be a sin or against the
law. to make beer in Colorado?
If beer is not a healthful drink, why
is it that in BELGIUM children are allowed
to drink beer as freely as the children
of this country are milk? And We find
that more people live to so years and
over than in any other country in the
world. Again. if beer is not healthy

drink than water in many of our mu-

GERMANY SAYS LAST WORD
ON SUBMARINE WARFARE

Administration opinion seemed to be
approaching these definite decisions;
THAT Germany will be asked for formal
assurances that her new campaign VIII
not violate pledges given in the Lusitania
and Arabic cases
That the United states will maintain the
right Of merchant vessels to arm for
solely defensive purposes
That the United States will contend for
the right OF passage of neutral and non
coinbatant passengers and freight on
armed merchantmen.
That American citizens will not be
warned against or prohibited from travel
ing on armed merchantmen.
That the United states will not declare
any inhexible rules governing what CON
stitutes defensive" armament
That the United states will not join with
Sweden or any other country in Joint ac-
tion regarding the new German decree or
relating to other belligerent interferences
with neutrals' rights.
The belief grew today that Germany will
postpone putting the new decree Into effect.
Suggestion to that effect is believed to
have been made by Ambassador Bern
storff to Berlin
1t was announced at the state Depart
ment today that the Ancona case Is in the
same category as the Lusitana, which
means that n complete settlement cannot
be obtained until Austria. too, makes IT
clear that the latest submarine order
does not mean that its pledges TO abide by
international law will be broken.
The State Department has decided to
group the Lustania. Ancona and other
similar caseg under a general head, none
to be settled until an agreement is
reached with the Teutonic Powers rela-
tive to their future conduct with regard
to armed merchant vessels.
Administration officials were also
strongly inclined against formally de.
claring any hard and fast rules as TO
what constitutes defensive armament,
Germany is expected to ask for this Gov.
ernments definition. The Administration
Is now approaching belief that establish.
ment OF an ironciad rule defining defens.
i've armament would both contravene In
ternational precedent of many years
standing and also would be inadvlsable.
The Administration is more inclined to
Judge each ships case on the peculiar
circumstances of its armament
