THE OPTIMIST.

Never knew a thing so bad
But what somehow i could be glad
1t wasn't worse;
Always when my troubles come
And / am sitting, sick and dumb,
About to curse,
Somebody whistles, jogging by,
That is ten times worse off than /.
Lord, when / think about them all,
Most of my troubles here are small
And petty things;
/ don't believe / really know
(Save one or two real bits of woe)
Lies bitter stings,
For ! can hear and walk and see
And health is still a part of me.
Cripples and blind men and insane
And invalids on beds of pain
Are all about;
] daily meet the deaf and dumb
And j that still can talk am glum
And wear pout,
And now smiler passes by
That is ten times worse off than /.
Each day Of self Pm more ashamed,
To think with rage / am infamed
When plans go wrong;
So many joys belong to me
My life upon this earth should be
One round of song.
Why should / now my woes rehearse,
When many near me suffer worse?

SOME ADDITIONAL FRIENDLY COMMENT
ON THE BULLETINS RECORD EDITION
A Great Labor Paper.

The Denver Labor Bulletins 1917
convention number, devoted to the in
terests of the Colorado State Fedora
ton of Labor, which met at Boulder
Colorado, and the convention of the
International Typographical Union
which met at Colorado Springs, was a
paper of 120 pages in fifteen sections.
The outside cover was printed in red,
white and blue, emblematic of its
patriotism, and carried on the front
cover photographs of President Wood
row Wilson and President Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor-the two great
est men in America, with labor and
capital shaking hands across the
bridge of industrial peace"
Photographers of the leaders of la
Dor thruout the country, and particu-
larly the leaders of labor in the state
of Colorado, appear on all pages of
this great industrial number of a la
Dor paper. Note is also made of Colo
radios industrial progress on every
page.
The issue is replete with able arti-
cles on progressive industrialism by
the ablest labor writers in the country,
and the special convention number is a
distinct tribute to the newspaper
genius of Editor Clint c. Houston and
Business Manager Edward ]. Hines.

WOMEN WEIGHERS
in BEET FIELDS
MUST CONFORM TO EIGHT
HOUR LAW.
At Request of Labor Commissioner
the Attorney General Makes
Ruling Covering This Class of
Workers Supplanting Men.

Upon request of W. L. Morrissey,
state labor commissioner, Leslie Hub
bard, attorney general of Colorado,
handed down an opinion which stated
that women who are employed as
weighers on the beet sugar dumps of
the Great Western Sugar company, or
similar institutions, must not work
longer than eight hours in each cal
endar day.
The sugar company submitted let
ter to Commissioner Morrissey, in
which it was stated that owing to the
shortage of men, the company con-
templated employing women as weigh
ers and intended to work them from
a. m. to 6 p m. The question arose
in the mind of the commissioner as to
whether or not the beet sugar dumps,
being far removed from the factories
themselves, brought the weighers un-
der the provisions of the woman's
was case for legal Interpretation and
not a practical application of the law,
the state labor official thought it best
to have the matter settled once and
for all. He accordingly requested an
opinion from the legal counsel of the
state.
Commissioner Morrissey could see
in the move the future employment of
many women as weighers on the beet
sugar dumps and desired to be fair to
the sugar companies as well as to
keep strictly within the spirit and
letter of the woman's eight-hour law.
He was aware of the fact that the
courts in other states had given opin-
ions on the matter, but felt that it
was his duty to follow out the legal
rulings of the attorney general of
Colorado.
The nature of the work which was
to be performed by the women is not
arduous, as it consists merely in
weighing the beets on the dump and
handing the drivers duplicate slips
containing the weight of each load of
beets.

WARN UNIONS AGAINST GIVING AID
TOT. W. W. in MONTANA AND ARIZONA
Circular Letter Issued From Denver Headquarters
Union of Mine, Mill and Smeer Workers, Giving Official
Status of the Situation in the Copper Mining
Regions of Western

From Denver headquarters of the
international Union of Mine Mill and
Smelter Workers, the following self
explanatory circular letter was is
sued this week:
To All Bona Eide Organizations of
Labor, Greeting:
In order that you may be fully in
formed in regard to the true situation
in different places thruout the metal
liferous mining industry where strikes
are now, in progress, we hereby sub
nit this brief statement of facts:
First-The Butte Miners Union No.
1, Western Federation of Miners, char
tered in 1898, was destroyed thru I.
w. w. influences in June, 1914. Short
ly after that the union was reorgan-
lied under the same number and affil-
lated with the Central Council of the
Butte and the State Federation of
Labor, where it is still represented.
Since its reorganization, with the as
sistance of the international, local un-
ion men and such prominent advocates
as Mother" Jones, John Walker and
James Lord, all of whom have ad-
has been exerted to induce the miners
to return to the bona fide labor move
ment, but a continuous campaign of
misrepresentation, carried on by those
who remained in Butte and took part
in the destruction of the Miners Union
in 1914, has prevented any real prog
ress. At times, when it seemed that
the reorganization of the miners was
assured, this 1. w. w. influence, ably
assisted by destructive element of
other unions in the city, became active
and practically annulled the advantage
gained.
l. w. w. Hold on Butte
This was the situation on June 9,
1917, when a disastrous fire occurred
in one of the large mines of the dis
trict, and many men lost their lives.
On the day of the funeral the mines
were closed to give the miners an op-
portunity to attend, and the l. w. W.
element grasped the opportunity, with
out having made any demands on the
companies or even asking for a con-
ference, to call all the miners of Butte
on strike, which in time they prac-
tically succeeded in doing. This con-
tinued for a short time, when approx
imately six thousand of the under
ground workers, realizing that the
leaders of the |. W. W. were taking
advantage of the sorrow and misery
of the dreadful disaster to establish
its organization in Butte, returned to
work, and at last recognized the fact
that they had nothing to gain by fol-
lowing the l. W. w. leaders. More
than two thousand have returned to
the Butte Miners Union No. /, the
bona fide local of the International
Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers. The miners who have re-
turned are working under satisfac-
tory agreement with substantial in

est issue ever gotten out by labor
publication, it has been said, and no

fine paper could be gotten out with
profit, even by as energetic a publica-

The Situation In Regard
to Street improvements

The street work that has been called
off in the city derived its funds from
special assessments. The banks refused
to take the time checks to carry on the
work on account of the doubt as to
the legality of the special assessment,
since the city was defeated in the cases
before the supreme court, known as the
Albert and Fry cases, or the Twelfth
street and High street cases as they
are sometimes called. Work wherein the
funds were provided for in the budget
and taxes already levied will continue
This includes general repair of streets
and sewer work. All paving is stopped,
including that under headway at both

amended so that property may be re-
assessed, that will re-instate the work.
as the banks will then take the time
checks. A city election will be held
within the next 80 or 40 days to let
the people decide whether they want
