STRIKING ARMAKES IGNORE
IMPOSITION OF COMPULSORY PENALTIES QUITTING PERMISSION BOARD

II is clearly evident that Hiram f.
Hits. A. n. Parrish and George w.
Densmore, the present commission
who were appointed by Governor Gun
ter to administer the Colorado indus
trial commission law, have little faith
in the constitutionality of those sec
tions which forbid men going on strike
when they elect so to do.
Last Saturday 367 members of Den
yer Cigarmakcrs Union No. 129 quit
work to enforce an increased wage
scale and better sanitary and working
conditions without asking permission
of the industrial commission. Neither
did they give thirty days notice be-
fore quitting work. Not n single un-
ion cigarmaker has been working at
the trade in Denver this week Each
one, under the law. is liable to fine
of from So to $40 per day, yet not n
member has been arrested by the COM
mission.
Notices Posted in Factories.
Neither the union nor the cigar
manufacturers asked the commission
to intervene, each side feeling that it
was sufficiently qualified to settle the
trouble. However. when It became
public that n strike was impending the
commission took it upon itself to as
sumo jurisdiction, and on Friday of
last week posted formal notices in the
ploycs and employers to appear at
once before the commission. Not n
single member of the union or man.
ufacturcr went to the Capitol building
in response to this manifesto.
Saturday morning subpoenas were
issued for officers of the union and
nine members of the strike committee

conference with Senator Candlish
and other friends of the law. and it
was decided to again side-step taking
the issue into court, so that the order
for Acting Secretary O'Donnel to
appear in the district court and re-
quest that subpoenaes be served in
due legal process upon the 1Cigarmak-
ers was withdrawn.
Wednesday evening new subpoenaes
were drawn up by the commission in
n somewhat amended form and served
upon President Charles Hornburg, Sec
retary James W. Sanford of the Ci-
garmakers Union, Chairman David
Greenfield and two other members of
the strike committee.
Met Tribunal Face to Face.
In view of the fact that it seemed
as if members of the union were to
be harassed from day to day thru the
serving of these subpoenaes, the strike
committee decided to appear at the
Wednesday morning session of the
commission court" and answer "pres-
ent," inasmuch as this had nothing to
do with the real issues involved. In
fact. members of the strike committee
told the commission that they were
not there in response TO any subpoe-
naes served by the commission, but in
order that they might accept the op-
portunity to tell the members of the
commission to their faces that they
did not purpose to comply with any
of the compulsory provisions of the
Colorado industrial commission law.

"Pape's Diapepsin" makes sick,
sour, gassy stomachs
feel fine.

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into acids and cause a sick, sour, gassy
stomach? Now. Mr.. or Mrs. Dyspeptic,
Jot this down: Papes Diapepsin helps
neutralize the excessive acids in the
stomach so your food won't sour and
upset you. There never was anything
so safely quick, so certainly effective
No difference how badly your stomach
is upset you usually get happy relief in
five minutes, hut what pleases YOU
most is that it helps to regulate your
stomach so you can eat your ia
vorite foods without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times-they are slow. but not sure.
"Pape's Diapepsin" is positive in neu-
tralizing the acidity, so the misery
wont come back very quickly.
You feel different as soon as "Pape's
Diapepsin" comes in contact with the
stomach-distress just vanishes-your
stomach gets sweet, no gases, no belch-
ing, no eructat.ons of undigested food,
your head clears and you feel fine.
Go now. make the best investment
you ever made. by getting a large fifty
cent case Of Pape's Diapepsin from any
drug store. You realize in five min
utes how needless it is TO suffer from
indigestion. dyspepsia or any stomach
disorder due to acid fermentation
