LASANIMAS MINERS
RALLYINCTO UNION
Organization Carried on With
out Protest of Managers
Fully 50 Per Cent Now Members and
Every Mine in County Will Soon
o., e Be Working Union Crews
Especial Correspondence.)

Trinidad, Colo, Sept. 6.-Since the
wave of reorganization began to spread
among the coal miners of Las Animas
county few weeks ago, fully so per
cent of the men in this county have
joined unions in their respective camps.
Credit for this organization work belongs
largely to the miners themselves, who
have manifested live interest and ar
ranged for meetings.
Permanent unions have been estab-
lished in the camps at Sopris, Piedmont,
Starkville, Jeffrey, Berwind Canon, Lud-
low, Tollerburg, Tabasco, Stockkanon,
Cedar Hill and Ramey. In addition to
these, organization is under way, some
being completed, at Bowen, Forbes, Nor
ley, Segundo, Primero and Frederick.
With exception of Delagua, Hastings,
Grey Creek and Cokedale, all the mines
in Las Animas county are now covered
by unions chartered by the United Mine
Workers of America. Some of the un-
ions comprise nearly 100 per cent of
the men employed in the mines.
Notices of meetings posted in the
camps are no longer molested, and the
men are experiencing new freedom.
All of the meetings held so far have been
largely attended, and the men are anx-
ious to become members of the union.

Especial correspondence.)

Pueblo, Colo, Sept. 6.-Citizens of
every degree joined in celebrating the
most successful Labor Day ever held in
this city last Monday. The ideal wea-
ther during the entire day made it per-
feet for the outdoor exercises at Mineral
Palace park where thousands gathered
to spend the afternoon and evening. The
parade, over a mile in length, in which
over 1000 union men were in line, was
one of the best in years and was fea-
tured by a number of floats, neat and
attractive costumes and the number of
local unions represented. Thousands
lined the sidewalks and cheered the
marchers as they passed thru Union ave-
nue. and Main street.
Starting from the Royal park at 10
o'clock, the last of the city fire depart
ment autos were leaving the ground as
the head of the parade swung into Un-
ion avenue. In the lead was the auto
containing j. ]. fisherman, president of
the Pueblo Trades and Labor Assembly,
and Clinton G. Houston of Denver, speak
er of the day. The parade was in charge
of George L. Sets, marshal of the day.
Many Artistic Floats in Line.
Following squad of patrolmen in
charge of Sergeant Elliott came one of
the Pueblo bands. The Iron Molders
presented a neat appearance with their
attractive float, an auto decorated in
white and black. The Boot and Shoe
their membership in line and were fol-
lowed by the Blacksmiths and Helpers.
The Carmen's union, one of the largest
represented in the parade, also had one
of the best floats It was a miniature
d. & r. G. caboose, painted in red, in
which We're riding several children. It
represented the work of the carmen and
was constructed by the men during the
last two weeks. The Retail Grocer
Clerks. in neat uniform, had a beautiful
float representing a grocery store in
which young men and women were busy
waiting on customers. This float was
declared the prize winner of the parade.
Nearly 100 per cent of this unions men,
bership was in line.
The Teamsters union was headed by
beautifully decorated auto from Dean
Creels' store. The auto was trimmed in
a red and white floral design. The Boil
er Makers were the noisest in the parade,
huge boiler was being riveted as they
proceeded down the street. The Bakers
followed by the machinists, the latter
having large delegation of their men,
bership present.
Building Trades Have Large Turnout.
The Building Trades Council headed
the second division in which the Car
penters and Joiners had the largest dele
cation, probably contending with the
Carmen for the greatest number of any
one union in the parade. Their float
was unique floral design in red, white
and blue. The Painters, all dressed alike,
practically the entire membership was in
line The Sheet Metal Workers appeared
with their tin umbrellas The Plumbers,

LABOR BULLETIN
Greatest Labor Day Edition
Ever Printed in Country
Kind Words Of Greeting Come to Pub
fishers From Every Source; Cred
it to Labor Movement

From every direction has come unstint-
ed praise of the 1916 Annual Labor Day
Edition of The Denver Labor Bulletin,
which established new high standard
for a labor publication in the entire
United States. In addition to furnish
ing our large circle of subscribers, in
Denver, thruout the state, and hundreds
in other sections of the country, there
was a great demand for copies for mail
ing by those who wanted their friends to
see what Denver produces in the way of
a high class labor paper.
Scores OF persons have called at the
office to personally congratulate Editor
Houston and Manager Hines on their
phenomenal achievement in printing the
greatest special edition of a labor paper
the world has ever seen, and issuing the
right sort of a labor paper every week in
the year. Others have phoned words Of
greeting, while many wrote letters ex-
pressing appreciation of the Labor Day
edition.
Why The Bulletin Succeeds.
1t would require a page of this issue
to print all these favorable comments,
hence The Bulletin publishers wish to
ings OF friends and readers, and say they
are encouraged to continue making The
Bulletin the very best labor paper print
ed anywhere on earth.
As stated before The Bulletin succeeds
because it prints the kind of paper the
rank and file of labor want and appre-
ciate. There may be q few knockers,
but they are of the caliber that by COM
parison makes their every knock boost
for the paper.
All agree that the Labor Day Edition
reflected great credit upon the organized
labor movement of Colorado, as well as
of the nation. While many excellent
labor Day publications have reached
The Bulletin office, none equal this pa
per in size, business, illustrations, spe-
cial articles, nor typographical effect
