and Labor Assembly for several
terms, stopped off in Denver this
week en- route to Philadelphia, where
he goes to take a position with the

Law is an expert machinist and mem
ber of Pueblo Machinist lodge. His
going away from his home town will
occasion much regret, for while quiet
in demeanor, he was an active worker
and did much to put the Pueblo labor
movement in its present favorable
condition. While in Denver he made
call at The Bulletin office to say
that he wanted his favorite paper to
follow him to the City of Brotherly

NOW THAT JERUSALEM HAS

rant was unanimously elected as min

extraordinary to Jerusalem, and that

of friends and patrons. Ben is a
patriot, scholar and prime minister OF
the bonifaces of Denver, so that his
training for duties which may be as
sumed in the land of his fathers is all
that the high post requires. Ben al
ways measures up to the expectations
of his friends, and the election by the
Round Table came naturally as re-
ward of merit.

biff comes a decision this week from
the United States Supreme Court
which holds that state has the

and a big sympathetic strike followed,
on December 5, Baker suggested, as
chairman of the Council of National
Defense, that the order against union
buttons be rescinded. He was brought
into the affair as the result of an
interview he gave to Mr.. Ames of the
Public Safety Commission, Assistant
Secretary of Labor Post, Congress
man Van Dyke of Minnesota and
W. B. Colver of st. Paul, member of
the Federal Trade Commission.
After expelling Ames for having
gone to the chairman of the Council
of National Defense to seek a settle
ment of the big mass strike in st.
Paul, the Public Safety Commission
is reported to have telegraphed to
Baker that it did not "welcome your
meddling in the situation" and noti-
flying him that when it wanted his aid
it would ask for it; meanwhile, it
felt perfectly competent" to handle
the trouble.
Nobody who knows Secretary Baker
will believe that he will let this branch
of the state government of Minnesota
start a war on the rights of organized
labor when the nation is at war with
the Central Empires. If he has not
power to overrule the acts of the
Minnesota extremists, the President
has abundant power. By the time this

way transportation through the Twin
Cities.
To Meet With Farmers.
The executive council of the A. F.
of L. did not take up, at its meeting
in Buffalo just after the convention,
the question of calling a conference
with the representatives of the
farmers organizations. That question
probably will come up at the January
meeting:
Nor was the conference between the
Central Federated Union and the
United Hebrew Trades of New York
City arranged. That has been ordered,
by resolution of the convention, as
way toward getting harmony in New
York. The meeting of five repre-
sentatives of each centra, body, under
the. Craftsmanship of Mr.. Gompers,
probably will be held early in the new
year.
Julia LathrOp's Report.
Miss Julia Lathrop, in her fifth an
nual report as chief of the children's
bureau, calls attention to the fact that
there is no good reason why $4,000
mothers should die at childbirth, or
that 100000 children under 5 years
Of age should die in this country each
year. Most of this awful sacrifice of
life could be saved by a small ex-
penditure of public funds. She shows
how the thing can be done.
Careful study in eight industrial
cities of the east and middle west, and
in the farming and ranching country
of the west, has revealed the fact that
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-12-15

these mothers die because they do not
get proper medical care at the time of
their giving birth. They are too poor,
as rule, to afford doctors. Or they
live far out in the country, where peo-
pie find doctors too costly to be sum
moned for any but the last emergency.
Babies Need Better Care.
Children die where the family is
poor. Twice as many babies died in
the homes where the mothers had to
90 out to work than in homes where
the mother stayed at home. Thirteen
thousand babies homes were visited to
get the facts. Where the head of the
family earned more than 81 1,O50 a
year, only one baby in sixteen died
last year. Where the father earned
less than $3.50, one baby in six died.
Since this is evidence that babies
need more care, and that low wages
means that the baby cannot have the
necessary care, the remedy is either a
big increase in wages or else direct
medical and nursing aid. AS Miss
Lathrop's job is not the raising of
wages, she simply points the moral
and makes this suggestion: that the
federal and state governments each
put up equal amounts of money to en-
ploy a trained nurse in every neigh
borhood, city and country, to look
after babies and mothers, and to take
care that mothers shall not be left to
die because of neglect or the poverty
of the household.

we have always with us" and it should
be privilege and pleasure to make
their lot just bit better and brighter

Jim knows how, and is always CRATE

duty to our Uncle Sam. He needs the
money and has opened many avenues
for you to reach him. There's the
Red Cross membership campaign, the
big national drive for Christmas
week, beginning Monday and closing
December "a The object is to enlist
$4,000 new members in Denver at 81
per capita, which added to the present
membership of 10000 will make
total of $4,000, the quota named by
the National Red Cross campaign
committee. Every loyal person should
enlist in this splendid humanitarian
division of the great war. Wear a
Red Cross button and show that you
have contributed your mite. Another
big drive now on is the forming of
War Savings associations. Procure
a certificate as Christmas gift for
yourself. It's the best thrift educa-
tor ever introduced for the future sal

ularly wage-earners. Get the thrift
habit this Christmas and see how
easy it is to save money and help
Uncle Sam at one and the same time.

Do we not remember that President Will

sldered so likely to end the War that specu-
lators gambled on it?
There were huge fortunes made, it was said.
by those who had inside information of the
note, and the scandal became so great that
Congress went through the form of Investigate
ing the ''leakage."
There were accusations which implicated
some very high people indeed. close to the
President; but the only point [ make on it
now is, that President Wilson acanted to make
peace a0ith German ''autocracy" and German
atrocities, SIX MONTHS AGO!
What has happened since, to throw all that
good fat in the fire?
In the Atlanta Constitution Of January |,
1917, front page headline ran
Slope IS da05ndling that Wilson note qcW
hasten peace"
"WHson IS eppectod to send another note."
Therefore, the actual facts are, that in
January our Government was still eager to
bring about peace, leaving German autocracy
enthroned, and leaving the Lu8ltani0 I'M
avenged.
WHAT HAPPENED AFTERWARDS?
Consider another extremely important and
undeniable fact:
On January 9TH of this year, our ambassa-
dor to Germany Hon. James W. Gerard, was
guest of honor at a grand banquet in Berlin,
where the high officials of the German gov
eminent were invited guests, and where
several speeches were made expressive of the
cordial friendship existing between the Ger
man government and that of the United
States.
Think of it In January of this year, five
months ago, when German autocracy was as
autocratic as possible, and all the atrocities
for which we now 60 to war had long since
been committed.
Remember that Mr.. Gerard had just re-
turned to Berlin from visit to this country,
during which he had confidential personal in
tervieWs with President Wilson.
