The call for the nomination of Off
GERS of the Colorado State Federation OF
labor, for the term beginning January
/ and ending December 81, 1917, has
been sent to the secretaries of all af-
fihated unions. The list of addresses
has been carefully checked up, and if
any local secretary has failed to re-
eeive the nomination blanks it is be-
cause he has failed to keep the Fedora
tion headquarters correctly informed as
to his address. In such cases, or where
the nomination blanks have been lost
OF mislaid. a letter to the secretary
treasurer will bring immediate response.
Every affiliated local organization, in
good standing, has a right TO name one
candidate for each position, but a can
didate must receive a nomination from
at least six local organizations in order
to secure a place on the ballot. All
candidates must be members in good
standing in a local union affiliated, and
in good standing, with the Federation.
Nominations must be submitted on the
official nomination blanks, and must
reach the office of the secretary-treas-
urer not later than October 3, 1916.
Bar Products of Merchants.
The following information has reached
this office from local Union No. 27O0,
United Mine Workers Of America, of
Crosby, Wyoming.
beg to advise that We decided to bar
all products of the Merchants Biscuit
company of Denver, Colo. from this
camp until they recognize the union, or
come to some settlement satisfactory to
organized labor A committee was sent
to wait on the proprietors of the store
here, and while no report has been re-
ceived from that committee at this date,
it is certain that there will be no trou-
bic with our store here as their trade is
one hundred per cent union and they
would not care to lose that"
This shows the power and solidarity of
organized labor. Information has reached
this office of like action having been
taken by unions in various localities
where heretofore the product of this
company has found a good market. With
the purchasing power of at least one
hundred thousand men and women, MEM
bers of organized labor, in the territory
in which their goods are sold, refusing
TO purchase the product of this company
until they have made a satisfactory set
tlement with organized labor, and what
influence they may exert with their
friends, will eventually be the means of
causing this company to realize that it
would be much to their advantage to
subscribe to the doctrine of collective

ton that the action of the convention in

inously indorsed by the Denver division
OF one of the big railroad brotherhoods
and that they will give US every assist
ance within their power in this under
taking. The matter has been referred
to the Railway League, the idea and pur-
pose of which body is the consideration

well as interesting and educating the

LABOR FAvoRs STATE INSURANCE
Ohio Unions Want to Bar Private Com
panies From Compensation.

Because official acts and judicial de-
cisions have undermined the purpose of
the state workmen's compensation law,
Secretary Donnelly of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor urges trade
unionists of that state to circulate peti-
tions for a referendum law that will pro-
hibit private companies from writing liza
bility insurance
The executive board of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor inangurated this refer
endum because of recent decision by
the state supreme court and the licensing
OF private companies by the state insur-
ance commissioner
The workers insist that these rulings
have violated the spirit of compensation
legislation and they are demanding that
private companies be eliminated and that
employers contribute TO the state fund
or pay compensation direct to injured
worl,men or the dependents of those
killed in industry.
