TYPOGRAPHICAL.


summer day in the mountains, there
was a good attendance at the regular
meeting of Denver Typographical I'm
ion No. 40 last Sunday afternoon.
Chairman S. S. Summers of the job
scale committee reported "watchful
waiting" period in anticipation of some
statement from the employing print
ers which has as yet failed to arrive.
This being the first meeting of the
union since the Red Cross campaign
was started the union made dona-
ton of $55 from the treasury to the
Red Cross war fund, this including a
SIS check from Judge John c. Camp
bell, a former member of the union,
who never overlooks an opportunity
to contribute to a good cause. 1t was
voted to establish a permanent Red
Cross committee of the union, con-
sisting of the chairman in each office,
who will accept contributions so long
as the war continues. Clint c. Hous-
ton was elected chairman of the gen.
eral Red Cross committee of the union.
Circular letters will soon be mailed to
each member acquainting him or her
with this action and those who have
not contributed will be given an oppor-
tunity to do so thru the chairman or
secretary-treasurer. A complete rec
ord of all contributions will be kept
and spread upon the minutes of the
union.
| Replying to circular letter recent
ly sent out by James F. Moran of Iowa
and Warren E. Pippin of Kansas, pur-
porting to express an action of the
United Mine Workers in this state,
No. 40 instructed Secretary Birdsall to
return the circular with a statement
that Denver Typographical Union No.
40 indorses the policy of The Denver
Labor Bulletin and its editor and the
articles which have been printed relat-
ing to an attempt made by said Moran
of Iowa and said Pippin of Kansas to
eliminate John R. Lawson and Ed. L.

was ordered mailed to International
