WORKERS COOPERATIVE STORE
Meeting October 81 in Howe Hall to
Plan One for Denver.

Plans for the establishment of a gov
ernment employe cooperative store,
similar to one operated in Washington,
d. c., are being considered for Denver.
Enthusiasts for the proposal have been
circulating petitions in the local offices
OF the government and arrangements
have been made for a meeting October
q in Howe hall to boom the project
Signers of the petitions are asked to
take shares of stock on the proposition
at $40 share and to pledge themselves
to provide figures showing living costs.
1t is planned to have provisions
shipped into Denver in carload lots and
have the store in charge of an expert
enced grocer and meat dealer. The pub
lie would be allowed to patronize it.
Charles +. Trotter, assistant postmas-
ter, who is familiar with the Washington
plan, has been asked to tell about it

Wilson Indorsed By Wyoming
Workers as Labor's Best Friend
Republican Party Welded to Monopoly and Hughes Has
Declared Against Millions of American Workers
By Opposing the Eieht.Hour Day

The following resolutions indorsing
Woodrow Wilson for reelection were
unanimously adopted at recent meet
ing of the Central Labor Union of Lara
mie, Wyoming:
Whereas, 1t is the misfortune of the
Republican party that its leaders have
no guiding prihcipal in relation to do
mestic industry, foreign commerce or
social reform except that which is en-
bodied in tariffs and subsidies; and the
country has been face to face for years
with momentous problems involving Ia
Dor, capital, finance, and trade at home
and abroad, and during all of the years
that the Republicans were in authority
they failed utterly to meet those issues,
because they have but one remedy, eco
nomically, and socially, for every i'll,
namely, Privilege, which sometimes kills
but never cures; and
Whereas, The Republicans could not
give the country a sound credit and cur
rency system because they are welded
to monopolistic bank; they could not
restore our merchant marine because
they were devoted to subsidy; they
could not exact such measures as the
Clayton law, the eight hour law and the
child labor law for the humanizing of
labor, because, according to their theory,
a protective tariff was all that labor
had right to ask; and
Whereas, They could not deal fairly
with Latin America because of the ex-
ploiters in their ranks who had no de-
sire for fairness; and
Whereas, The leaders of the Republic
an party, practically to a man, believe,
and would have the people believe, that
they have been carried back into the
dark ages by the recent eight hour law (;
and those leaders have openly declared
themselves as against the millions OF
working people OF this country by their
stand against the Adamson eight hour
bill when 35O,OO0 men, railroad engi-
neers. firemen, conductors, brakemen
yardmen, and engine hostlers, with ap.

MAcHINIsTs REDUCE WORK HOURS

After a two-months' strike for shorter
hours, machinists employed by the Ma
tional Brake and Electric company in
Milwaukee, have returned TO work.
President Tell of the company assures
the public there was no agreement made
and that the strikers returned voluntar-
ily. He also states that the present 55-
hour work week may be reduced to
52R hours in the very near future"
Mr.. Tells reference to an agreement
is not denied very strongly by the strik-
ers, but Representative Adams of the
Machinists Union winks the other eye
and hints of an understanding that was
reached between the company and n com
mittee of the strikers which was after
