REIN ORR IS DEAD
WAS FACTOR IN ORGANIZATION
OF STREET RAILWAY MEN.
Taken Ill at Recent Providence Con-
vention. and Passed Away in De
troit Hospital Last Week.

Rezin Orr, general treasurer of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees of
America, died last week in a Detroit
hospital. He was stricken with Sc
rious illness at the national conven-
ton of the association in Providence,
r. l., few weeks ago, and failed to
recuperate.
Orr was we'll known in Denver, hav-
ing visited this city on several occa-
sions, and last spring spent two months
here in an endeavor to organize the
tramway employees. While in Denver
on this occasion he greatly extended
his circle of friendship, to whom the
news of his death will come as shock.
His report at the last convention
closed the active life of remarkable
trade unionist, whose incessant activ-
tiles, sterling qualities, giant stature
and sunny disposition are known
wherever organized workers are as
sembled. He was the oldest associate
of President Mahon on the official
staff of the Amalgamated association.
Starting from the time these officials
drove horse cars in Ohio and Indiana,
Rein Orr has been factor in devel-
oping the present magnificent organi-
zation of street railway employees that
now extends thruout this country and
Canada.

Upon receiving complaint from pu-
pills and parents as to dangerous con-
dition of public school buildings in
Sugar City, Crowley county, Labor
Commissioner w. L. Morrissey and In
spector Ralph Kuntz visited there
last week for an investigation. In n
letter to the president of the school
district Commissioner Morrissey has
ordered that after close of the presei.t
term the building be no longer used
for school purposes. This is in line
with the labor commissioner policy Of
protecting children. Following is the
letter sent to the district school board: ::
Denver, Colo, Oct. 26, 1917.
Mr.. r. A. Hamilton. President, School
District No. %, Sugar City, Crow
ley County, Colorado:
Dear Sir-After careful inspec-
ton of the public school buildings Of
Sugar City, Crowley county, Colorado,
/ have decided that to permit the use
of these structures after the expira-
ton Of the current school year would
be placing the lives Of the pupils and
teachers in peril.
Under no circumstances, therefore,
will this department allow n resump-
ton of classes after the completion OF
the spring term, 1918.
Buildings Are Dangerous.
My reasons for the above action are
MS follows:
First-The foundations Of the main
school building are settling. Proof OF

tilated and overcrowded to the danger
point.
Seventh-The toilets used by the
pupils of these branch schools are un-
speakably bad, and it is surprising
that they have been permitted to en-
danger the health of the children.
This department will insist upon inn
mediate changes in the toilets at all
of the Sugar City schools.
We will also insist upon dismissal
of pupils in the main building when it
is apparent n dangerous storm is ap-
proaching.
We cannot refrain from expressing
thanks for courtesies shown by school
officials during the inspection of the
public school system Of District %.
Very respectfully,
w. L. MORRISSEY.
Deputy State Labor Commissioner and

FIFTY BISHEL MEN TAIL LORSON STRIKE
FOR HIGHER WAGE AND UNION HOURS
Quit Fifteen ReadyMade Clothing Houses
Wednesday Morning When Concerns Refuse to Sign
Union Contract One Firm Later Agrees the
Terms Men Return Work.

Fifty bushelmen tailors employed In
fifteen ready-made clothing stores
went on strike Wednesday morning in
support of demands for new wage
contract, shorter hours and recogni-
ton of the union. The employers were
willing to concede all demands except
recognition of the union, and the men
will remain away from their former
places of employment until this is con-
ceded.
Thursday the May company agreed
to the terms, signed the union con-
tract and the men employed there re-
turned to work Friday morning. The
wage increase demanded for the sew
eral classes of employment amounts
to an average of $3.50 per week
The strikers realize that without
recognition of the union any wage in
creases or other improved conditions
cannot be permanently maintained,
hence the determination to remain out
until this vital point is conceded by the
employing firms.
The strikers are reporting daily to
the Tailors' union headquarters in the
Charles building. One or two strike
breakers have been brought in from
Kansas City. An effort to have clothes
cleaning shops make alterations and
do other bushelmea work has not met
with much success. Cher, is every in
dication that the strikers will win y
complete victory and they are stand

COMMON SENSE MAY COMBINE TO

B0LSHEVIKI

LONDON - While the German
general staff officers are con-
ferring with the Bolsheviki of Russia
in Petrograd, a half dozen Russian
dispatches today conveyed the inform
alton of the growing movement to over
throw the Bolsheviki government and
for the establishment of a real coali-
tion government representing the en-
tire nation.
Petrograd dispatches asserted that
former duma and Kerensky leaders,
with moderate Socialist representa-
tives, conferred at army headquarters
Representatives of 81 military units
voted to uphold the Bolsheviki. At
the same time the headquarters COM
mittees of the same armies wired En-
sign Krylenko, the Bolsheviki COM
mander, declaring that they refused
to recognize irresponsible persons and
factions.
The Bolsheviki fear that the allies
may stop sending them supplies.

GET SUGAR FACTORY
UTAH-IDAHO COMPANY TO ESTAB.
sLISH BIG PLANT AT
TOPPENISH

| SPOKANE.-The Utah-Idaho Sugar
company will start work at once on a
big beet sugar plant at Toppenish, Wn.
The company recently offered to erect
such a factory if 5000 acreage was
assured A campaign was at once be-
gun among the farmers and many
pledges were secured but things moved
too slowly for the business men SO
they closed their stores and organized
drive. Before night $500 acres were
pledged 1t is said the factory will
equal in size the $250,OC0 structure
just completed at Yakima. The sugar
company will also build at Toppenish
a mill for utilizing the syrup excess
from the other mills in the valley.
Some idea of the value of such a
plant to the community is given by the
statement that sugar beet growers of
Yakima received s125, 900, representing
returns on $4,000 tons of sugar beets
harvested in October The company
expects to distribute about 100000 in
November and an equal amount in De-

the free democracies of the world have

that the great world-conflict which
they were called to enter was the in
evitable fruit of autocratic government
and unbridled militarism Hatred to
war had not dulled their perception of
national and moral responsibility, for
they were quick to realize that free,
progressive democracy was not con-
potism impelled by lust for world
domination. With unity, chivalry, and
courage, they laboured, fought and
sacrificed for a cause in which the
highest ideals were involved Today
the great English-speaking democrac-
les of America and Britain are COM
withstanding the appalling loss of hu-
man life, and the impoverished world
by the destruction of property and ma

war must be so concluded as to be
the end of all wars; that such vic
