ANNUAL REPORT OF PRESIDENT McLENNAN AND
SECRETARY ANDERSON TO STATE CONVENTION

financial condition shows a gratifying
improvement over the conditions existing
year ago.
Importance of the Union Label.
1t is not necessary for me to dwell
upon the importance of the union label,
the Importance it plays in advancing the
principles of the trade union movement
and the fact that it is the only guaran-
tee we have that the article upon which
it appears is made under fair conditions.
But | would suggest that continued eff
forts be made to induce the demands for
union made articles and that every pos
sible effort be put forth by the members
OF organized labor TO create n demand.
There are affiliated with the American
Federation of Lafor. fifty-five national
and international unions that have
adopted a union label or union stamp for
the purpose of showing to their fellow
trade unionists that the article upon
which the stamp or label appears is
made under condition of fair wages,
reasonable hours, sanitary surroundings
and decent working conditions. The
average trade unionist is not ccgniEant
OF this fact and il is necessary that We
constantly urge them to use their ut
most endeavor when purchasing goods TO
select articles bearing the label.
The Denver Label League is doing
woman service in the interest of the
label and is deserving of the heartiest
support of tho unions of that city There
are number of other towns in the state
that could maintain label leagues if the
required interest was taken in the mat
ter and special effort should be made
by the delegates TO this convention when
they return home to establish label
league in their respective communities
as it is of vital Importance to our move.

\ larger number of labor laws were
enacted between the years 1910 and 1914,
than at any other time in our history.
At one of the sessions of the legislature
during this period almost the entire pro-
gram of the legislation adopted by our
convention was enacted into law. This
was due largely to the fact that there
were a number of loyal and able union
men in the legislature at that time who
used their full energy and devoted their
best efforts to the Advancement of the
cause of labor There are in fact some
as good labor laws on the statutes
OF Colorado as will be found in any
other state and they are there as a re-
suit OF labor's united efforts. We have
had, however, to bitterly complain OF the
non enforcement of number of these
laws that were enacted for our benefit
which was largely due TO the hostility,
the laNity. and the csrclessncss of those
officials who were entrusted with their
enforcement.
The fact that those laws were enacted
shows the power of labor's united ef
forts. and even tho many of them were
not observed. the mere fact that they
arc on the books has tendency to
bring about improved conditions and a
little more regard for the man who tolls.
Even the partial good they have brought
is worth much more than the time, the
effort. and the money necessary TO Sc
cure their passage.
We have good reasons to feel gratified
at the progress made by the Federation
during the past year, and the splendid
manner in which Officials and members
have co-operatcd in tho work is indica
tive of the spirit of advancement and
loyalty to labor's cause that prevails in
our midst. Our membership has been
substantially increased, a number of new
affiliations have been secured and our
