BUILDING TRADES
WANT WAGE RAISE
COMMITTEES APPOINTED
TO NEGOTIATE SCALE.
April l Is Date Set When General
REIMBURSEMENT of Wage Schedule
For Denver Building Craftsmen
Is to Become Effective.

April l is the date set by the build
ing trades unions of Denver for a re-
adjustment of wage schedules. A
movement is now under way by the
Building Trades Council for an agree
ment with general contractors as the
preliminary step toward reaching
definite agreement. Wage increases
ranging from fifty cents to one dol
lar per day are to be demanded and
Peter Johns, business representative
of the Council, informs The Bulletin
that prospects are bright for a salts
factory adjustment by the date set.
| Committees of the carpenters, plas-
terers, painters and structural iron
workers have been appointed and are
acting together in these negotiations.
Carpenters will be advanced from
$500 to Sc; plasterers from Sc to ST.;
painters from S4.40 to So, and iron
workers establishing a fiat rate of
625 cents per hour. More than 1000
men in the building trades are affected
| by this schedule.
During the past year there were a
number of wage increases in the
building trades, notably that of the
bricklayers from Sc to 81 per day;
plumbers from S. to $6; timers from
$3.50 to $5, and steam filters from 50
to Sc.
The Building Trades Council is be-
hind the demands of these men and
feel they are justified for the reason
that there has not been a general re-
adjustment of wages for the past
eight or nine years.
1t is understood that the general
contractors of the city are willing to
meet the committees of the various
unions involved and that a satisfac-
tory agreement will soon be reached.

KILL WEALTH TEST
STRICKEN FROM PORTO RICO
BILL IN u. S. SENATE
Move to Disfranchise Three Fourths
of Voters on Island Defeated Thru
Efforts of Organized Labor.

Organized labor won its long fight
for the removal of property qualifi-
cations in the organic law of Porto
Rico when the United States senate
struck from the Porto Rico bill these
qualifications for members of the
Porto Rican senate and house of rep
resentatives.
AS passed by the house the bill lin
tied suffrage to those who could read
and write and restricted membership
in the senate to those paying taxes
upon $1,000 worth of property and in
the house to those paying taxes to the
amount of $500.
These qualifications would disfran-
chise three out of every four voters
in the island and would place that
government in complete control of
wealth-owning interests.
The trade union movement has been
the one force that has stood for JUS
tice for the Porto Ricans and has in
sisted that rights accorded these peo-
pie under Spanish domination should
not be taken from them by govern
ment based on equality. The Porto
Rico Free Federation of Labor has
been supported in its demands by the
A. F. of L., to which it is affiliated.
It's president, Santiago Iglesias, has
visited this country many times dur
ing the last several years in the inter
est of suffrage for himself and fellow
workers.

Cigarnakers
(By j. w. Sanford.)

Tuesday evening found President
Charles Hornburg in the chair after
an absence of two meetings on ac-
count of indisposition.
A number of matters of Importance
were taken up and disposed of in
eluding communication from Cloud
City Miners Union No. 33, asking our
legislature calling for an S-hour "col-
lar to collar" law. Their request was
complied with.
Communication from the State Fed
Grafton of Labor Legislative Commit
tee was acted upon favorably and
small appropriation made for carry
ing on their work.
Factories number 116 and 1877 now
operating in Denver are not entitled
to the use of our label owing to the
fact that machines are being used in
making cigars. Members of organ
lied labor are requested to buy only
cigars bearing the blue label of the
Cigarmakers, which insures them that
the cigars are made under favorable
conditions by fairly paid workmen.
Communication was received and
read to our members calling atten-
ton to unfair houses and orchestras
in the city from the musicians point
of view, and was given the approval
of our union.
Congressman Ben C. Hilliard in
communication informs US that we are
to be the recipients of gratuitous
supply of flower and garden seeds
for the spring planting thru the de-
partment of agriculture for our mem
bers that have garden space. This
we believe will have a tendency of
bringing the potato trust to terms for
we have some real farmers among
cur membership.
The Detroit strike is still in prog
ress, but with the fund now being col
lected by assessment of our members
it can be continued indefinitely and
eventually won. Call for label goods
that will help most of all.
A f. "Gus" Kolkhorst is back from
his dry ranch after a ten-day inspec-

some space will be given potatoes this
season unless there is slump in the

aratber of tbosa are eniovable way social ief
functions to be held under the joint
auspices of Painters and Decorators
Union No. rs and the newly organized
Women's Auxiliary.
Here is a striking illustration of
the value of organizations: Painters
at Princeton, ILL.,, formed a union and
obtained a Accent wage rate per hour
and nine-hour day, all within "a
hours. No one or two or three of
them could have got anything with
the utmost effort. But when the
whole body spoke with united voice
in putting up the workers demands
the employers surrendered at once
and without hesitation.

MILK PRICE. - They're going to
slap our babies in the face again.
The price Of milk is headed toward
another advance according to the
dope given out today. There are just
as many COWS grazing about today
as there were some years ago when
milk was being sold at fair price.
1t would seem that the milk bosses
have caught the high price fever. It
has been very contagious. It's a
blamed shame, however, that they
have to hit at the babies. And the
city of Chicago won't let US keep a
COW of our own in the city limits. We
will have to be using goat milk next.
Then the milk bosses will probably
do something to get our goat.
is 1T A SPLlT?-The question is,
are the shOemakers, the dressmakers
and the style authorities in cahoOts?
First, the style folks come through to
the effect that girls must wear their
shoes up just far enough to reach the
bottom OF their skirts. Then the
skirtmakers come froth with a new
style of real short skirts. This means
that shoes must run higher, contain
more leather and naturally cost
more. The higher the skirt the cost
Isr the shoes. Do they split tie rake
off?
