CAN'T BEAT MAYOR OF FRISCO.
Will Build Ship Hulls Of Concrete TO
Defeat Lumber Trust

Another chapter in the history of
shipbuilding may be written as the
result of the fight against the CLOSED
shop" by California lumber companies.
Ships with concrete hulls is the dream
of Mayor James Rolph of San Fran
cisco which promises to come true.
Mayor Rolph is the head of n ship
building company at Eureka. He let
IL be known he would employ only
union labor. Thcreupon lumber COM
panics in that vicinity discovered they
would be unable to furnish him timber
Then came Norwegian with n plan
for concrete construction. He claimed
his patent had been used in building
over his plans with keen interest,
Rolph arranged for the Norwegian to
build one schooner, the concrete keel
of which will be laid as soon ms he
takes possession OF the yards.

or Five Important Measures Intro

Who Stood for Labor Bills.

Not single one of the five import
ant measures advocated by the rail-
road brotherhoods will have passed
either branch of the twenty-first gen.
eral assembly of Colorado when ad-
lournmcnt is reached tonight. These
bills were introduced in the house and
considered by the committee on rail-
roads. Three of the bills were forced
out Of this committee by the minority
members making n report, and they
were able to put thru n motion placing
them upon the regular calendar of the
house last week. Representative A.
7. Ardourel of Boulder gave three
days notice of reconsideration. which
tied up the bills for that period
In the meantime the rules commit
tee had a meeting and made up such
n big calendar that it was impossible
TO reach the railroad bills. Those
three members of the rules committee
who fully understood what they were
doing in thus blocking the railroad
bills were Speaker Best. Glenn Crow

DIDN'T PHASE EN-
DEMANDING MORE
WIN WITHOUT CONSENT
OF COMMISSION.
Labor's Rule of Action Shown in Two
Instances the Past Week, and
Those Who Struck Gain Quick
Action Upon Demands.

Completely ignoring the Colorado
industrial commission law requiring
thirty days notice before a strike can
be called, men employed in two
branches of labor within the past
week have quit work and won their
demands in short order.
Friday of last week $50 miners en-
ployed by the FL Paso County Land
& Fuel company, near Colorado
Springs, quit work because the re-
ceiver for the company refused to eN-
tend the five cents per ton bonus
granted the coal miners last fall
These miners struck without asking
permission of the industrial commits
sion, nor did they serve notice of such
intention. After being out only forty
eight hours the receiver for the COM
pany granted the demands of the men,
the bonus was restored and they re-
turned to work, having won a COM
plete victory.
Monday of this week about fifteen
platen press feeders employed by the
kistler Stationery company in Denver
quit work when their demands for an
increase in wages of 81 per week was
refused. They did not give notice to
the Colorado industrial commission of
intention to demand an increase, nor
mat StElhS Woulu pTopaolN result.
Tuesday morning they returned to
work. but in the. interim their wage
demands had been granted and these
men are now receiving benefits with
out interminable delay.
Had these miners and press feeders
served notice upon the Colorado in
dustrial commission, the probabilities
are that an award would have been
handed down in ninety days, or per-
haps longer period, which would have
held that in view of the war situation
and the high cost of printing mate

Friday morning the negotiations had proceeded
ha moniously to the stage where subcommittee
OF miners and mine superintendents had been au-
thorized to draw up agreement in detail and
report back to the conference for approval.
The Victor-Anerican is the second largest
coal mining corporation in the Rocky Mountain
region, owning ten camps in Colorado and two in
New Mexico. John c. Osgood is the president.
During the strike of 1eI3-I4 this company one
OF the bitterest opponents of the union.
While no overtures have yet come from the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company, a meeting of
al mine superintendents called for Pueblo this
week when the c. F. & 1. officials learned of the
conference being held in Denver.
According to statement made to The Bulletin
Friday morning by prominent official of the
United Mine Workers, the prospects very
Promising for settlement, upon union terms, with
al the coal mining companies in this region, includ-
ing Colorado, New Mexico and Utah.

ABOUT OIL STOCKS

One of the daily papers will devote
a section of its Sunday edition to oil
and oil stocks, and it will no doubt
contain large advertisements of oil
companies urging the public to pur-
chase oil stocks. The Bulletin desires
to warn its readers against putting
any money up for oil stocks of any
kind until they have thoroly investi-
gated the proposition, and in this con-
nection The Bulletin will assist any
member of organized labor to make
this investigation in order that they
might have fair run for their money
if they feel like gambling in this class
of stocks.

LABOR SUCCEEDS IN OBJ
TANNING RECORD VOTE
ON THE MEASURE.
Representative Meyer, Author of
Bill, Persists Until Roll Is
Called and Members Are
Forced to Show Atti-
tude Toward Labor.

Friday afternoon of last week,
March l6, on the seventy-third day of
the Legislative session, labor represen-
tatives succeeded in obtaining n rec
ord vote of the house on house bill No.
65 by Arthur d. Meyer of Denver for
repeal of the Colorado industrial COM
mission law. The bill was defeated by
a vote of 80 to 33.
The vote indicates that there were
more friends of labor in the house pro-
portionately than in the senate, where
two weeks previous the bill went down
10 defeat by vote Of 2s to (.
In the regular order of business
house bill No. G5 was reached on the
calendar in the house, where IL had
been placed few days previous over
an adverse report Of the committee Of
the whole. Representative Owen Of
Lcadvillc moved TO amend the report
"to show that the committee recon-
mcndcd that the bill was referred 20
the committee on revision and cngross-
mcnt TO be cngrosscd and placed upon
the calendar for third reading and
final passage
Representative Nagel Of Victor
moved n substitute motion that the
report of the committee Of the whole
be amended TO show that the COM
mittec recommended that the cnncting
clause be stricken from house bill
No. So"
Test Vote on Owen Motion.
A roll call Of the house was ordered
which disclosed siNty-four members
present Upon motion of Represen-
tative Meyer consideration of the bill
WAS then proceeded with. The vote
first came upon the motion of Repre-
sentative Nagcl 20 strike the enact
ing clause. which was defeated by a
vote OF "a TO 30.
The question then came upon the
motion of Representative Owen which
proposed to show that the committee
Of the wt@le had recommended the bill
favorably and that II be placed upon
the calendar for third reading and
final passage.
This brought the test vote in the
house upon the repeal bill, organized
labor's fundamental demand upon the
LEGISLATURE and the one upon which
the attitude Of members in the sen
ate and house toward labor in Colo
RADIO would be judged. This motion
was lost by vote Of 33 TO 30. as
stated above. Two members of the
house lodged the vote, they being An
derson of Denver and Studzinsh of
Pueblo.
Write Concluding Chapter.
Chairman HoutchcnR of the house
committee on industrial relations then
moved that the report of the commit
tee of the whole be adopted. which
was carried by viva voce vote. Thus
was the concluding chapter written by
the twcnty-first Colorado general as
sombly upon this all-important meas
ure. and completed the record desired

DINER" EMPLoYE A TRAINMAN.

The superior court of Scranton. Pa,
has sustained the appeal of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad that a dining
car conductor is a member of the train
crew and shall be so considered when
the full crew law IS being enforced.
The state public service commission
ruled to the contrary. The decision
was based on the theory that n dining
car conductor collects meal charges
and looks after the comfort of pas
sengers. Railroad trainmen and 9TH
er advocates of the full crew law
never dreamed that dining car en-
ployes would be considered as part of
the crew when they urged this legis-
lation.

Vienna is also told that Russian re-

the famous death battalions surpassed
all expectations

the Russian border, with the possible
exception of Podolia. Bessarabia, where
the rich corn lands may prove mag
netic. while the possibility of turning

continue the offensive at that vulner-
