At the quarterly meeting OF the Am
erican Federation of Labor executive
council, held in Washington last week,

portant decisions agreed to:
Endorsement Of the proposed Oregon
law to end land monopoly and land spec
ulation in that state. This act was in
itiated by the Central Labor Council OF
Portland, Oregon, as a result of a study
of the unemployment evil.
The executive council will urge the en-
actment OF a graduated income tax on
the principle for which it has declared
and emphasized by the American Feder-
alton of Labor. this tax to be so gradu-
ated that wealth and its accumulations
shall contribute a larger proportionate
share than now.
Hold Worlds Labor Congress.
Under authority OF the San Francisco
convention the executive council will, in
the very near future, send a communica-
tion to the central organized labor move
ments of the various European countries
regarding the holding of a worlds labor
congress at the same time and place
when the various governments shall meet
to determine upon the terms OF peace
between the various warring nations.

Denver labor bulletin., 1916-03-11

In placing the name of Mr.. MulniN
before the people at the primary election
I for nomination for the office OF state
treasurer. his friends feel that they have
the most efficient as well as the most
popular candidate for office that has
ever sought consideration from the vot-
ers of Colorado. Thru his genial man
ncr and strong personality Mr.. MulniN
has the distinction OF enjoying the ac'
quaintance Of more people than any man
in the state.
Since assuming the duties of State
Auditor. his watchword has been EFT
I ficicncy and Courtesy demanding at all
times of those under him that they OK
tend the utmost courtesy TO all hav-
ing business with his office.
That the courteous treatment and the
expeditions manner in which all claims
against the state are handled is apprc-
cated by the people generally is. evi-
denccd from the words of approval heard
on ali sides.
Mr.. Mulnix came to Colorado from
Pennsylvania some thirty y-eight years
ago. engaging in the contracting business
which he followed for a number of years.
In the fall of 1894 he was elected state
treasurer. serving one term. lSa5-ls9o.
He retired then to private life to take
up lne practice pl nunlC HCNpuulllEs II
is rather singular coincidence that
after twenty-five years Mr. MulniN
should be an aspirant for the same Of
fic" which he filled so ably in 1895 and
1906.
Mr.. MulniN has grown up with the
state and has ever been n student Of
state affairs; he knows its needs; he
knows conditions; no one questions his
integrity or ability.
His long experience as a certified pub
lie accountant has made him particu-
larly well qualified for the position he
now holds and for the office to which
he aspirps. His administration of the
duties of State Auditor clearly demon
strptcs the fact that the finances Of the
state will be looked after in a business
like manner. and the voters of Colorado
will make no mistake in supporting
Harry r. Mulnix for state treasurer.
The Bulletin knows Mr.. MulniN The
lnhoring people are his friends for he
believes that man deserves. at all
times, n Just compensation for his hire.

lone much to re-establish the states
lredit.
Mr.. Stocker is a large employer Of
Dor and has built many of the largest
buildings in Denver. During the year

ment which has for its object the bet
tgrment and advancement of the city
of Denver and state of Colorado. and
re would fill the office of governor of
the state of Colorado. to which he aspires.
with credit to himself and the people.
