We are glad to note the improve

has been a nuisance to search the
Washington papers for the small
items they found space for regard
ing Alexandria and its environment
We are now larger in the suburbs
than we are in the old City limits.
Like Rome and London the old city
is but the heart of a vast up-to- date
business and residential section, and
that section should be noticed in the
local papers just as the people OF
King, Washington and Prince streets.
Rosemont, the spotless town and
home of children, is lonely just now,
when dust and decay are filling the
verdure of the landscape. Rosemonts
gardens are gay with dahlias, cam
mas and many other flowers. mo
kitchen gardens also look suggestive
of good green things for the table. IL
inhabitants are a credit to any COM
munity. Since they sought space anc
fresh air for the young ones OF their
name and rest from the noises oil
the city, yet we do not thing OF them
as citizens of Alexandria, tho less
than one mile from its centre, but
generally set them apart as Rose
mont people. Let us bring them into
the same circle Of the city's life.
Braddock Heights, one of Vlrglnlas
beauty spots, with its expansive
vistas of Washington, the river and
Hunting creek, does not gain SO rapid
" as Rosemont, yet there is here not a
vacant house and it's little Episcopal
Chapel is Overlooking with children
every Sunday afternoon, while the
ladies of Emanuel chapel have
bought more ground alongside and con-
template charging it. as soon as
funds are in sight. Del Ray and
Cottage Park, Mt. Ida, Duke street
extended, are settlements OF prog
ressive and goodly class of people.
But you observe the word settle
ments-they have no centre OF IN
terest, no reason for attaching them
selves to the one or the other-Alex-
andria must gain the interest OF
these communities by learning about
them and drawing them to her thro
trade, politics, church and newspaper
Old Gazette, like your man in the
street, He has heart and reminds us
of things worth while. When Gypsy
Smith goes we shall need you. Let us
not sink into further state of in
difference, but rouse us to the call
of the people, enterprise, sanitation
faithfulness-not the least Of thess
is sanitation. We must be clean III
side and out. Not just our from
doors and yards, but our back pre-
misses, our darkest pantries, our at,
tics and cellars, if we wish to keep
we'll and not allow the dirt bidder
from our eyes to breed and poison US
We must begin to throw off
the shackles of sleepy indifference ant
begin to think with big t. We
hear someone say Alexandria is moi
large enough to support good news
paper, a Y. M. C. A. OF playground
for children. Yet it has kept up fifty
saloons and more, and now that oul
state has ruled them out, let US take
up the better things and spend ant

Brick Contractors Association
Want Wage Reduced 81 Per Day
Union Ready Fight Go Strike Maintain Agreement
Entered Into March 1, Whereby the Raise Was
Granted by All Denuer Builders

Denver union bricklayers may have to
go on strike to keep in force an agree
ment entered into with the Brick Con-
tractors Association, which became effec-
tive March l, last, raising the wage scale
from Sc to 81 per day of eight hours.
The association has filed notice with the
union and the State Industrial Commits
sion demanding that the wage reduction
become effective September 10, thirty
days from date Of giving notice of the
proposed change.
This week Denver Bricklayers Union
No. l, with about 25O members, issued
statement in which the charge is made
that the association, in return for the
increase. has attempted to force the
workers to do illegal acts for the pur-
pose OF shutting out contractors who are
not members Of the employers body.
Union Refuses to Violate Law.
Two specific cases are cited by the
union. one being the insistence of the as
sociation that no member of the union
work on job at Seventeenth and Bake,
under Contractor Des Jardins, nor on
the work being done by the Kirchhof
Lumber company, on the kistler build
ing, in Champa street The union says
such action would be in restraint of
trade and subject them to punishment.
The contractors in their notice to the
Industrial Commission assert the union
men agreed to work for no one but the
members of the association This was
partly to do away with the union men
working for carpenter contractors. The
Industrial Commission will not take any
action until the association or union
asks for hearing. The union will like
ly ask for a hearing in the near future
in order to force the issue
Statement of Committee.
The following statement has been is
sued by a committee OF the Bricklayers
Union:
The Brieklayers Union is in receipt OF
a letter from the State Industrial Com
mission TO the effect that the Denver
Brick Contractors Association has filed
an application to reduce wages, giving as
a reason that the union has violated the
agreement entered into on March /, 1915.

Tramway Does Not Plan ANY
Increase of Street Car Fares

Tor materials for operating the Tramway
system. about 80 per cent of the re-
mainder must be given back to the pub
lie for the privilege of doing bsuiness.
The increasingly high costs of oper-
alton together with the desire of the
company to give good service and to
make the necessary Improvements which
annually run into hundreds of thousands
OF dollars, made it imperative for the
stockholders to forego their returns on
their investment. But everyone certain
" appreciates that TO secure the addi
tional capital constantly needed for util-
lty work in such a cmmunity as Denver
and its surroundings, earnings and re-
turns on the investment are essential.
We feel that some large measures OF
relief should be afforded. This can only
come about thru material increase OF
business substantial reduction of the
taxation burden-and the achievement of
further economics by ourselves. Natur-
ally We hope for ali three. We believe.
for example, that the Tramway should
be relieved OF all paving charges. This
Is nothing but hang over from the
horse car days when the horses did wear
out the pavement, but today the Tram.
way cars absolutely do not use them,
indeed the company furnishes a splen-
did substitute thru their steel rails, and
the paving charge is nothing more than
a very heavy tax"

immigration Restriction Bill Is
Again Taken Up in the Senate

America better than the body of her
chosen Representatives know them I
only want instruction direct from those
whose fortunes. with ours and all mems,
are involved"
Senators in favor of immediate action
on the bill agree that in these words the
President left an opening for reversal of
his former action, and they will endeavor
to convince him that the people of the
country now do want the literacy test
as a bar against the flood of immigra-
tion which will follow the war.
The motion to take up the bill was
made by Senator Smith OF South Caro-
lima, chairman of the immigration COM
mittee. The committee has amended the
House bill in an effort to meet objec-
tions of Japan to the section relating TO
Asiatic exclusion.
Denver labor bulletin., 1916-08-26

An article appearing in recent issu.
of Tram-o-Grams, a pamphlet issued by
the Tramway company to its patrons,
discussing the increased cost of all ma,
terials in running the street car system,
aroused considerable public interest in
the question as to whether the company
contemplates an application to the city
for permission 10 increase its fares.
The officials of the company have re.
ceived many inquiries concerning the
significance of the article. F. w. Hid
vice president OF the company. returned
this week from vacation and his at
tention was called to the article In re-
ply he said that the company had no In.
tention to ask for an increased rate nor
to decrease the service.
In statement given out, he said:
Il am glad to learn OF the interest
with which Tram Grams, and particu-
larly the last issue, has been received
by the public, for it is my belief that
the best way to solve the larger prob
lens confronting the utilities is for the
public to obtain clear and thoro under
standing of them, and then from their
own sense of fair play and justice viii
come the solution.
No. the Tramway company has no in
intention to ask for increased rates OF
fare nor TO in any way diminish service,
because We believe the possibilities of
relief in other ways should first be tried
to the utmost.
1--WE feel that the three partners to
public utility enterprises are entitled to
equal oousiderstion-the public in the
way OF good and adequate service-the
employe in the way OF good eompensa,
tion-and the investor in the way OF
good returns on his investment
AT the present time the distribution
is one sided and quite entirely in favor
OF the public, which gets the exces.
from the company in two ways:
"First-In the form of liberal service
from very low rates of fare.
"Second-Thru enormously excessive
taxation.

BY a vote OF 27 TO %, the Senate on
Monday determined to take up the i'm
migration bill which the Democratic
caucus had decided TO postpone until next
session. Nine Democrats voted with Re
publicans for the motion.
When debate on the provisions relat-
ing to Asiatics was begun, galleries were
cleared and consideration OF those fea-
lures proceeded in secret.
Passage Of the bill seemed assured by
this action and it was predicted the bill
would be brief President Wilson We
toed the bill last year because of the
literacy test.
Some Democratic senators believe the
President will not veto the bill again,
altho it retains the literacy test to
which he then objected. Those who think
the President might sign the bill point
to his veto message in which he wrote'

matter entirely foreign to the subject
dealt with in the agreement
The Denver Brick Contractors Associ.
alton insists that members of the union
be prohibited from working for anyone
who Is not a member of the Denver Brick

in return for having acceded TO the de-
mand OF the union for 81 per day raise.
The Denver Brick Contractors Associ-
alton has membership of about one-haIf
OF the brick contractors of the city.
Many Of the general contractors hire
members of the union and do their own
brick work and many owners prefer their
work done by the day.
Right to Work for Anyone.
The union insists upon its right to
work for any OF these parties, and refuses
to be eoerced into a compact, which, it
has been advised. would be an infringe

alton insisted that no member of the
union work on Contractor DesJardines'
work on Seventeenth and Blake streets

The Denver Brick Contractors Associ-

Brewery Workers
(By William Koch)

The following resolution was adopted
by the Colorado State Federation of La
Dor at its convention at Colorado
Springs last week:
Whereas, Since the present prohibition
law went into effect We find that it does
not prohibit the drinking of any kind of
liquor in this state; and
Whereas, Anyone in Colorado is al
lowed under the present so-called prohi-
bition law to have all the liquor they
can drink, whether it be a bottle or a
barrel per day, if they say it is for per-
sonal use; and
Whereas, Believing that such law is
unfair to Colorado labor, Colorado brew
cries and Colorado farmers, and is not
prohibition at all but simply humbug;
and
Whereas, Under the proposed amend
ment for the manufacture and sale OF
beer in Colorado the people of this state
will not nor cannot drink any more beer
than they are allowed under the present
so-called prohibition law, the only diff.
ference being that the Colorado brew
cries be allowed to make beer which the
people of Colorado are allowed to drink;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That this convention of the
Colorado State Federation of Labor as.
sembled. this 18th day of August, 1916,
go on record as favoring the proposed
amendment for the manufacture and sale
of beer in Colorado, believing that it will
mean real temperance in place of non.
enforceable prohibition and give thou.
sands of men work at union wages, Will
save millions OF dollars invested in brew
cries and ne the means of making a
market for hundreds of thousands of
bushels of barley and other grains to the
farmers.
Signed by fifty delegates.
The union men and women of the
state are unable TO understand why beer
should not be manufactured in Colorado
as long as they are allowed to drink all
the Eastern and foreign beer they care
to. There is no justice or fairness in \
law which will not allow the people of
Colorado to manufacture that which Is
not against the law to be used in Colo
rado, and they are going to adopt this
motto: Ii ii is not a sin or against the
law TO drink Eastern and foreign beers
in Colorado. why should it be against
the law to make beer in Coloradol

the most successful ones ever held, the
only bad features which occurred wa.
