Chicago Truck Drivers Produce Figures

Truck Drivers Union No. 705 of Chi

IS cents, but the 500 truckers stuck
by their original demand, which was fin
ally agreed to, and contract signed.
General President Tobin of the
brotherhood cites the history of this

OF unionism. He shows that since that
time single drivers have received 81 1924
and double drivers s2,7s2 over the rates
they received when the union was organ

have paid on an average of 60 cents a

COLORADO RANKS SECOND IN GOLD
Production of Precious Metal in 1915
Reached Total of S24,I66,7Ss.

Colorado produced approximately s5
per cent of the gold output of the entire
United States in 1915 and ranks second
among the gold producing states, accord
ing to reports made by the director of
mints and the geological survey. The
total gold production OF the entire coun-
try, according TO the report. was
SOS, 1891, 100.
OF this amount ss4,l66,15S was mined
in Colorado, according TO statistics.
California was the only state to exceed
Colorado in gold output. Figures issued
by the director of mints and the geologi-
cal survey show that the production OF
other states were as follows:
Alaska, Sl6,6s6,7oo, and Nevada, Sll,-
Sl4,7oo. No other state produced more
than SS,ooo,ooo in gold, according to the
report.
There was but slight difference be-
tween the standing of this state and
California in gold production.
The government report shows that
gold mining in Colorado had great
impetus during the past year. The gold
mined in Colorado in 1914 amounted to
approximately Sso,ooo,ooo.

Report Of Conclusions Direct
to President Wilson

President Wilson's Colorado Coal
Strike Commission, consisting of Seth
Low, Patrick Gilday and c. W. Mills,
has been busy this week visiting scenes
OF the recent industrial war. Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday they were in
Huerfano and Las Animas counties in
the southern district; Thursday they
toured the northern zone in Boulder and
Weld counties, and expected to make
trip over to Routt county the latter
part of the week. Members of the COM
mission are merely making observations,
but in no place is anything in the nature
OF 4 formal inquiry conducted. a re-
port OF their findings as to industrial
conditions in Colorado Will be made di-
rect to President Wilson, which will end
the commissions work
Confer With Jesse weIborn-
Before leaving Denver for tour of
inspection thru the various coal camps
of the state, conferences were held with
the State Industrial Commission, Gov
ernor Carlson and Jesse F. Welborn,
president OF the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company.
According to daily newspaper reports
the commission was mucn impressed by
a statement made to it by Welborn, in
regard to the working of the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Company's industrial repre-
sentation plan which was put into effect
during the visit to Colorado in Septem-
Der of John d. Rockefeller, Jr.
In this statement, which was furnished
in printed form, Mr.. Welborn informed
the presidents commission that during
1915 the company expended Slle,47l in
bettering the physical condition of its
employee this, So POS was spent in
removing objectionable dwellings and
erecting model houses; Sl5,295 erecting
fences about the homes of employees;
s2i, 600 for the completion of club houses
now in course of construction. Besides.
he announced that the company will
build emergency hospitals at all its
camps, and that two of these, the gifts
of John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., were now
being built, one at Sunrise. Wyo., and
the other at Primero, Colo.
Results of Miners Stnke.
No doubt the presidents commission,
men of keen intellect, have already OBJ
served that none OF these improved con-
ditions were made in the mining camps
until the miners struck and demanded
more humane treatment.
The commission is making considerable
inquiry into the operation OF the Rocke-
feller plan or union. Commissioner Gil
day, who is miner and former official
of the United Mine Workers in Pennsyl-
vania, has expressed the opinion that the
Rockefeller union plan falls far short
of@meeting the requirements of modern
coal miners and that the men will not
get what they need and are entitled to
until the mines are operated under union
conditions
The commission will probably leave for
Washington the forepart of next week.
Thursday the members were entertained
at dinner in Boulder by President Far
rand OF the State University. Friday
they were guests of the Denver Chamber
of Commerce at MONDAY luncheon

is NOT LANGUAGE OF DEMOCRACY

In an address delivered under the aus
piecs Of the Central Labor Union in Seat
tie. Rev. II. A. Atkinson, social service
commissioner of the Congregational
Church, said that Rockefeller's grants to
the miners OF Colorado are not in the
language OF democracy, and that the time
has passed when the workers need TO
have anything handed thcm-they are
able TO take for themselves. He said
that the striking Colorado miners were
the strike breakers brought in ten years
ago. the strikers of ten years ago were
the strike breakers brought in ten years
before that and those in turn had been
strike breakers.

Mrs Augusta j. Frincke, president of
Bindery Women's Union No. 5S and for
mer police matron, has won her suit for
reinstatement under the civil service or
dinance. This carries with it back pay
of SS5 per month for twenty-n mine
months, amounting to 1906. The case
was q mandamus suit tried before Judge
John H Denison in the second division
of the Denver District Court during the
week of November IA, and the judge
handed down his opinion finding for
Mrs Frincke, the petitioner, on every
point. 1t was brought against Alexander
Nisbet, commissioner of safety of the
city and county of Denver, and the City
Civil Service Commission.
An order from the court instructing
Mrs. Frincke's reinstatement as police
matron and ordering payment OF salary
during the entire period she was out Of
the position illegally, is expected i'm
mediately upon the return of Judge Den
ison from Castle Rock, where he is pre-
siding in the trial of four former strikers
in the southern Colorado coal camps.
Attorney Z. p. Costigan conducted the
case for Mrs Frineke and won a notable
victory, not only for her, but for the
cause OF correct appliance Of the civil
service law to all city employees.
So important is the opinion rendered
by Judge Denison, covering every phase
Of the case and its application to civil
service employees in the city government,

Opinion of Judge Denison-
Judge Deuison, sitting in the second
division Of the District Court Of Denver,
handed down the following opinion on
December % as Christmas gift to the
pctioner. sustaining every point made by
her in the suit:
The potioner brings mandamus against
the respondents to compel them to rein
state her in the position of police mat
ron, claiming that she was discharged
without due hearing under the civil SER
vice ordinance and charter.
The facts are as follows; Some time
prior 70. june, 1912, the petitioner took
a civil service examination and passed
with n rating of S. June 3, 1919, May
pointment. Under date of June 4. 1879,
the fire and police board sent petitioner
letter of probationary appointment in
the classified service, effective June 2,
1879 (see the record, pages SO and 37) h,
Blakely, president.
About june 2s, 1912, the petitioner
was solicited by the secretary of the civil
service commission to take an examina-
tion, but she refused to do so on the
ground that she had already done SO. In
September, 1919, at the further solicita-
tion of the secretary, she took another
examination, and passed, with a rating
of 93M, the highest mark.
In October following she was informed
of this, and the secretary of the fire and
police board was told by the secretary
of the civil service commission, Mrs.
johnson, what the rating was. and that
she was entitled to the appointment and
ought TO have pay; and the secretary of
the fire and police board told his board
the rating. They Were ready to ap-

In asking Congress TO prohibit the in
tcrstatc shipment of strike breakers,
armed guards and machine guns, the
Committee on Industrial Relations is
striking at the direct and immediate
cause of nine -tenths of the violence
that has accompanied industrial strife
in this country and that at times has
threatened disastrous internal disorders.
National preparedness demands such
action. President Wilson spoke for all
thinking men when he proclaimed the
necessity of removing "every untoward
circumstance in these times of interna-
tional turmoil" Fresh in every mind
are the horrors of the massacre at Lud-
low in Colorado; the killing and MAIN
ing Of innocent ,wor<men Mt Roosevelt,
n. j.; the shooting down of other work
men at Bayonnc. These are only the
more recent and conspicuous instances.

the problem Of industry. II will not

That discord cannot be removed until
