Mayor Speer Said to Favor
Plan Conditi0nally
Delegations Of City Firemen and Po-
lieemsn Adopt Hint Given in Bull
letin Editorial Last Week

Accepting an editorial in last weeks
issue of The Bulletin as q hint that
prompt action was necessary, representa-
tives of city employees in various de-
partments have been busy this week
formulating program which it is hoped
will secure more pay for them.
A delegation of city firemen and po-
licemen called upon Mayor Speer Mon
day afternoon and asked for a 20 per
cent increase. 1t is understood the may
or informed the delegation that he was
in favor of such a program provided ir
was made to cover all employees of the
city receiving the same wages or less
than the firemen and policemen.
This is in accord with the suggestion
made to the mayor thru The Bulletins
editorial last week. Members of the i.e
and police departments nave not had an
increase for many years. The mayor
and city council, therefore, realize that
their demands at this time for more
pay is justified. The same applies to
street and park employees.
When the city council holds It's regi-
lar meeting next Monday night the mat
ter of increased pay for city employees
will probably be considered along with

as being favorable to an ordinance which
will carry such an appropriation.
In this connection, and carrying out
instructions of the Denver Trades and
Labor Assembly, the Legislative Com
mittee has drafted an ordinance amend
ing Ordinance No. l57, Series 1912, pro-
viding for an increase of fifty cents per
day for city laborers and one dollar per
day for a man and team of horses en-
ployed on any municipal work. This or
dinance will be introduced next Monday
night and is as follows:
"A bill for an ordinance defining and
fixing the wages to be paid day laborers
and men with teams that are employ u
by the city and county of Denver, and
repeating all ordinances and parts of or
dinances in conflict herewith.
"Be it enacted by the council of the

D. A. HAYES DEAD:
ILLONLY TWO DAYS
Third Vice -PreSidentAmeriCan
Federation of Labor
Was President Of Glass Bottle Blow
ers Association for Nearly a
Quarter Century
"a. F. of L. Weekly News Letter.)

WASHINGTON, Jan. CD. A. Hayes,
third vice president of the American
Federation of Labor and president of
the Glass Bottle Blowers association of
the United States and Canada, died of
pneumonia last Tuesday in Philadelphia,
after an illness of but two days.
Despite the great pressure of duty,
President Gompers proceeded to Phila-
delphia and at Brother Hayes bier off
cially represented the American Fedra-
tion of Labor and pronounced eulogium
upon the deceased, recounting his great
life work and characteristics.
Funeral services were held today at
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, where the remains were
inferred Because of the urgent require
ment of their presence at Washington on
account of the hearings before the inter
state commerce committee of the senate
on the pending railroad legislation in
tended to inaugurate compulsory inves-
tigation, it was impossible for President
Gompers or Secretary Morrison to attend
the funeral exercises at GAINESVILLE. The
American Federation of Labor was rep

name of D. A. Hayes omitted was at
tached to the flowers.

EMPLOYESRESPECT
LEGISLATIVE ACT
Railroad Managers Flout the
Federal Law
Contrast Drawn Between Attitude Of
Employees and Employers in Re-
SpeCt to Statute Enacted
(From Committee on Industrial
Relations.)

AGldlAOuSJ
NEW YORK, Jan. BY the terms of
an act of the supreme lawmaking body
of the United States, approved by the
president of the United States, the
standard working day of all the freight
train operatives of all the railroads of
the United States was fixed at eight
hours-that eight-hour day to begin
January L. By the terms of the same
act the pay to the same train opera
tives, or to others whose additional en-
ployment might be made necessary by
the shorter workday, was increased in a
sum which the railroad corporations es-
innate at five million dollars a month.
The sum makes no difference to the
principle involved
Congress-the senate and house of rep
resentatives-enacted that law upon the
initiative of the president and upon its
own volition.
Notice the Difference.
The railroad brotherhoods did not ask
it. The 100000 organized railroad work
ers did not ask it in any capacity. No
organization of labor asked it.
In any other country in the world such
a law would have taken effect without
question, because, in all other countries
duly enacted laws do take effect with
out question.
But the railroads have "held up" the
law and at least temporarily repealed it
because, not liking it, they have asked
a court to disapprove it.
While resorting to the courts to sus-
pend the operation of the law the rail-
road companies claim the right to keep
the money that is owing under the law
to the men who work longer than the
standard day fixed by the law. They
do not admit that, even granting the
suspension of the Adamson act, the rail
road operatives are better entitled to
hold their own wages money, pending
the courts action on the law, than the
railroads are entitled to hold it.
Operatives Respect the Law.
The railroad operatives suspended
their lawful right to strike and their
economic power to strike because they
were willing to abide by law which
they did not ask for. They deferred
voluntarily to the act of the duly con-
stituted lawmaking body in order not to
inconvenience the country by using their
own lawful and sure means of getting
what 'the conscience of the nation" has
decreed is due them
Whatever may be the results of the
railroad workers willingness to accep,
the act of the peoples legislative repre-.
sentatives and of the railroad companies
unwillingness to accept that act, these
vital facts that have been set out show
the different attitude toward the law
and toward public opinion in which the
railroad workers and the railroad direct
ors stand.
At the close of a year in which they
have made more than one billion dollars
net profits the railroads profess their
willingness to tie up the entire inter.
state transportation of the United States
rather than to pay TO the workers the
comparatively insignificant increase in
wages which statute of the United
| States has declared they should have
