pecial purpose Of handling political mat
ters aside from the regular meetings OF
the railroad organizations. 1t Is under

railroad brotherhoods, engineers, fire
men, conductors and trainmen. 1t Is

combined for political action.
The Railway Political and Economical
League has completed its list OF Off
oials and the advisory board has adopted
plan of action for the fall campaign.
There are 1000 members of the four
brotherhoods in Denver. Added to this
total are the members of the ladies'
auxiliaries and OF the families of the
members, making the total 5000. Each
member OF the body as well as of the
auxiliaries will influence one or more
votes of friends, it is said.
L. T. NoFall OF the engineers is pres
ident OF the league; F. A. Cochran oil
the conductors is vice president; Frank
Mullen OF the trainmen, secretary treas
urer, and Oliver Jones of the firemen
and enginemen, is assistant secretary

Denver labor bulletin., 1916-10-07

A promoting committee consisting OF
Fremont Older, Helen Marot, Dante Bar
ton, Lincoln Steffens and Ida Raugh has
obtained the consent OF the five follow
ing lawyers to form a National Labor
Defense Counsel. They are Frank p.
Walsh, C. L. s. Wood, Edward p. Cos
tgan, Austin Lewis and Amos Pinchot.
These men are known thruout the whole
country not only in their legal profes-
sion but for the position they have taken
in the struggle of labor against capi-
talist exploitation. The members of the
counsel are serving without compensa-
ton.
In many legal cases Frank p. Walsh
has acted as the unpaid counsel for la
Dor. but it is as chairman of the Federal
Commission on Industrial Relations and
later as chairman OF the Industrial Re
lations Committee, organized to carry
forward the recommendations OF that
commission, that his position is thoroly
understood and his place as leader
nationally appreciated. c. f :. Wood
and Austin Lewis have become two OF
the leading legal advisers OF the Pacific
coast. Edward P. Costigan was in
charge of some Of the most important
legal developments of the great strike
Of the miners Of Colorado in 1914. Amos
Pinchot has. spoken and written for la
Dor in every industrial crisis that has
arisen in the last few years
To Help Unorganired Workers.
1t is the service of such men as these
that the well organized unions command (;
il has been valuable to them not only i'll
the defense of their members in court,
but has brought their cases before the
country and the labor world thru the
attention they forced from the press.
In order to give the unorganized work.
ers the advantages OF the organized
workers. the National labor Defense
Counsel has been formed. II is obviously
impossible for the counsel to give per
sonal attention 10 the iunumerable cases
which continuously arise. Therefore, the
counsel proposes 10 employ man who
is intimately connected with the labor
movement: who is competent to report
situations to the counsel; who Is able
to carry out the advice OF the counsel
employ local attorneys; who will repre-
sent the counsel locally; and who will
raise the money for the conduct Of the
trials. To maintain such an agent in
the field will need money.
Small Sum Is Necessary.
The need of such a counsel has been
recognized in scores Of cases in the past
few years. and the need Is increasing
More and more the fate OF a strike de-
ponds upon the abuse by the courts
of their power. and this abuse is pro
portionate to the obscurity and helpless
ness of the victims. 1t is only neces
sarv to name the most recent instances
