HOUSTON RETURNS
FROM WASHINGTON
SAYS COLORADO'S CLAIMS
WILL BE GIVEN Salts
FACTORY ATTENTION.
Special Commission Presents Matters
to President Wilson, Secretary of
War Baker, National Defense
Council and Other officials.

Colorado stands a splendid chance
of securing a permanent army recu-
peration camp, an aviation training
station and a fair share of orders for
furnishing supplies, is the word
brought to Denver this week by Clint
c. Houston, a member Of the special
commission appointed by Governor
Gunter to visit Washington and pre-
sent this states claims before the fed
eral authorities. Houston reached
Denver Wednesday morning, being
the first of the five men who went
to the national capital.
He reports that the commission,
which consisted of J. K. Mullen, W. G.
Evans and Clint c. Houston of Den
yer; Judge Harry P. Gamble of Boul-
der, and Alva B. Adams of Pueblo,
was most courteously received by all
government officials visited.
Senator Shafroth, Congressman
Heating, Taylor and Timberlake gave
the commission every assistance and
and conferences. Senator Thomas was
i'll and unable to meet with the COM
mission, and Congressman Hilliard
was called to Denver soon after the
Colorado delegation reached the capi-
tol.
Among those whom the commission
held conferences with were President
Wilson, Secretary of War Baker. Sec
rotary of the Treasury McAdoo, Sec
retary of Labor Wilson, Surgeon Cen
eral Gorgas, Adjutant General Mccain,
Quartermaster General Smith, Food
Administrator Hoover, Chairman Gift
ford of the national defense council,
and other members Of that department.
In every instance Colorado's claims
were presented by members of the
commission, and assurance given this
state would not be overlooked.
The matter of establishing large
recuperation camp for soldiers in Col
orado and an aviation station will be
further pushed by the senators and
congressman from this state, who are
working in complete harmony to this
accomplishment.

In Exemption Claims.

WASHINGTON, July S1.-The sec
ond class of 755.700 men registered

ruled.
Agricultural workers and munitions
factory hands also will be greatly re
stricted in exemption claims, it was
intimated.

WILL HAVE A LABOR DAILY.

The board of control of the Seat
tie Union Record has authorized Edi-
tor Ault to proceed with the prelimi-
nary work of turning the weekly into
a daily paper. The general sentiment
among the Seattle unionists is that the
publication of daily paper should be
commenced at once and unquestionably
but few short weeks will witness the
first issue of Washington's daily labor
paper-for it undoubtedly will be the
purpose to interest other organizations
in the enterprise other than the Seat
tie unions. The paper will have a two
fold purpose: the education of the
thousands of men who are flockipg
into the trades unions, and a medium
thru which the public can be made ac-
quainted quickly with labor's side of
any question Of public interest.

MUCH TO SAM GOMPERS

known that Samuel Gompers. presi,
dent of the American Federation of

for the United States, for the allies,
and for the cause of democracy the

Federation of Labor are in sympathy
with all that the United States and the
allies stand for, but dishonest and dis
loyal leadership has often perverted

water is to the turbine wheel which

The high cost of living is a problem
that must be solved by cool. calculat
ing heads that place patriotism above
money-makng, but it is a hard uues-
ton to solve justly in the very throes
OF relentless war. The high cost of
living is being taken advantage of by
the lower and more irresponsible class
Of union labor advocates to gain ad
vantages, and within certain limita-
tons these agitators are entitled to
more or less sympathy, but is is trea-
son to put the brakes on Uncle Sans
speed up" policy by declaring strikes
at this time. Treason is defined as
acts calculated to aid or give comfort
to the enemy in time of war, and the
constitution of the United States pro-
yides punishment to fit the crime.
Treason is crime to be dealt with
by the federal government and traitors
OF the ignorant, selfish and greedy
class who coin the distress of the gov
ernment into gain for themselves
should be stood up against the vail
and forced to face the firing SQUAD.
This sounds inhuman and faily to tally
with our beautiful claim of EVERY
man is entitled to his day in court"
Master Mind Needed.
In times like these, however mas
ter mind must draw the line against
treason and reasonable conduct and
enforce his edicts, promptly and un-
merclfully If the disloyal elements of
government are to be made to respect
the nag. We are in trouble and our
trouble needs the exercise of patience
and sacrifice, and we must all suffer
alike. Because a man carries a union
card does not justify him in consider
ing he is exempt from the general
condition of suffering the nation must
endure. His union is all right, but it is
not entitled to more respect and con-
slderation than Uncle Sans Union.
The Employers association. recentlv
formed, is not union buster" or a
strike-breaking organization. 1t stands
for law and order and arbitration. 1t
feels wages should be advanced as
rapidly as the general public can alb
sorb the advance, but no man. nor
combination of men, have the right to
strike at this time to cripple produc-
ton. The l. W. W. is at work every
where, seeking to give aid and comfort
to the enemies of Uncle sam and no
doubt the kaiser will hang the iron
cross on them. We have good laws on
our state statute books forbidding boy
colts and picketing, but the law seems
to be dead letter just as the thirty
day notice of the new state industrial
commission seems to be. Nobody is to
blame for the breaking of laws but
the people, themselves. Carelessness
and indifference give courage to law
breakers.
Good Legal Department
Our association has been formed to
arouse the employers to proper sense
of their duties to the government and
we want everybody who knows of
crime in the shape of assault or intimi-
dation of non-union workmen to report
the fact to this office promptly. We
have a good legal department whose
duty it is to see that an American cit
izen is not molested in his efforts to
assist the government in its speed
