POLITICAL MOVE.

TOLl lSHE "ONEs
The strike of teamsters Who drive

The attempt made in city council

discTedit the demands of the men by
terming it a political move of team

attempt to distoTt facts.
These charges were made by A

There is no politics in our strike"
said McGregor. 1T is an out and

are attached.

Warren f. Pippin of Kansas came
down from Pueblo Wednesday night of
last week and exercised his temporary
authority as district officer by taking
charge of n regular meeting of the
local miners union here. His purpose
was to prevent John Il. Lawson from
attending the meeting, expecting thus
to establish the second step toward de-
priving Lawson Of membership in the
United Mine Workers. The first step
in this outrageous plot was taken at
the Denver "peace conference" held
by Moran of Iowa, Pippin Of Kansas,
John McLennan and few carefully
picked representatives. when motion
was framed and adopted declaring
John r. Lawson to be no longer n
member of the United Mine Workers,
because he had accepted a job as labor
employment agent for n union coal
mining company-the Victor-Ameri-
can.
After The meeting here Friday night
had been called to order, the hall being
packed to the limit with members,

Great preparations have been made for

this meeting will be speakers of ma

the various subjects. After this meet
ing the delegates will have the oppor-
tunlty to enjoy the cool, balmy air of
a Boulder night in August.
On the University Campus.
The convention will be held on the
university campus, and the members
OF the convention will have an oppor-
tunity of inspecting the various build
lngs of the state university. Presi-
dent Farrand, recently called to France
for the organization of campaign
against tuberculosis, was especially
anxious that the members of organized
labor should become acquainted with
the many educational advantages to be
had at the university, and that their
sons and daughters, and themselves.
would take advantage of the opportu,
nifty to obtain higher education. The
other members of the university facul-
ty are equally as enthusiastic as Pres
ident Farrand to bring about a CO.
operation of all interests to make this
more homogeneous community.
The university campus is surround
ed by many sorority and fraternity
houses. and many of the latter will be
available for rooming accommodations
of the delegates. Tho the convention
will be held during the tourist season
ample accommodations have been as
sured the committee. Reservations
have been made at the Boulderado for
the Federation officials. which has been
designated as the official headquarters.

HIS PATRIOTISM IS A CLOAK.

President Keyes of the Dayton

ing motormen and conductors are "un-
patriotic" because they went on strike
after refusing to accept the company's
terms. This declaration did not prove
as effective as the official anticipated,
but he came nearer the truth in his
second announcement that he had
promised certain business men" not
to recognize the Street Car Mems Un-

dent and business would be disturbed
if other employees in low-wage concerns
organized.

McLennan profted largely by the

is very much chagrined that this
source of private revenue, for which
no account was ever given to the Fed

At Colorado Springs last August
this Year Book was abolished by
amendment to the Federation consti-
tuition and the executive committee
instructed to probe the entire matter.
The Colorado Springs convention COM

defray expenses, but not a cent was
paid from Year Book receipts.
