officer to the spot, stopped work on the
building, and escorted Pete before the
police Judge to be fined for operating an
engine without license, as the city or
dinances prescribe. In the meantime
some one telephoned to Mrs. Mile and
she hurried to Pete with the precious
document When Hinman had concluded
his testimony that no license had beer

a demand for dire punishment as an OBJ
iect lesson to others and in order to
maintain the dignity of his office, Judge
Rice asked Pete what he had to say

except to let you look at this piece OF
paper And Pete passed over to the
Judge a perfectly good and legal license

Tuesday morning the smiling counte-
nance of Hank O'Day was missing. As
Hank is usually on the job (sometlmes
even working the noon hour), the bunch
became alarmed and dispatched the devil
to find out the cause. The devil returned
with the information to put on sub

the job next morning, however, batrdid
not stav long. Said he was kind o sea
sick; that he had consumed quantity
OF raw picked fish and his stomach was
upset. For fear Hark had met with
foul play the boys started an iTvestiga-

Hank devoured. Upon the word of
Harry Fox. president of the State Fed

sembly. He told the delegates it was the
only paper in the city which printed the
truth about the Coors Brewing com
pany in Golden reducing wages II EN-
ployes from 25 cents to 81 .25 per day.

value of The Bulletin to your organiza-

Koch "The Bulletin is the champion of
organized labor all the year round and
is fighting your battles for you. 1t is
by far the best labor paper Colorado ever
had, and every union man and woman
in this state should be a subscriber and
paw 81 per year for it. The Brewery
workers have realized its worth to them
and The Bulletin will prove your great
est champion in time OF trouble with en-
plovers should the occasion arise. 7 am
sure our labor paper is not only credit
to the labor movement of Denver. and
the state of Colorado, but to the labor
movement of the nation" And this
statement was greeted with applause all
around the big assembly room.
