Open Meeting Held Wednesday Night Which Addresses Were
by Hamilton H. c. Williams Upon
Importance to Labor of Repeating
trial Commission Law.

and controverting that fundamental
principle which underlies our repub-
ican form of government.
Denies Right of Free Speech.
"Third-The industrial commission
law specifically denies the right of
free speech, in that it provides fine
and Jail sentence for any individual
to even advise the cessation of work,
no matter what actuates the advice.
"Fourth-We deny the assumption
of irresponsibility of the wage earn
ers of the state, which is plainly the
inference contained in the provisions
of the law.
"Fifth-We deny the right of the
legislature of Colorado to delegate
any of our rights to an irresponsible
political commission, empowered to
abrogate at will our constitutional
guarantees.
Congress Affirms Rights of Men.
"Sixth-Congress in the passage of
the seamen's bill reaffirmed the con-
stitutional rights of man to work or
not to work, for a reason or for no
reason.
"Seventh-On January IT, 1917,
the interstate commerce committee of
the United States senate, by a vote
of Z to 3, rejected a provision in the
Newlands bill which provided for COM
pulsory service of men engaged in
the operation of trains, the rejected
provision being in effect the same
as the Colorado commission law.
For these reasons the Pueblo
Trades and Labor Assembly calls the
attention of Senator Perry C. Dun
lap, Representatives Sterling Cawl-
field, Thomas Mishou, Mike Studin-
ski and Charles A. Foster to the OBJ
noxious provisions of the industrial
commission law"
Hold Them to Account
The Pueblo Assembly specifically
declares that it will hold to a strict
accountability the men representing
the Pueblo district in the twenty-first
general assembly for their votes upon
the repeal of the Industrial commits
sion law. The hope is hereby ex-
pressed that the wage earners may be
restored to their rightful position as
citizens of the state by the repeal of
this law.

DOUBLE PLATOON A SUCCESS.
Chief Randall of Duluth Says 1t Is
Working Satisfactorily.

Duluth's double platoon system, in
stalled in the fire department on
January /, is working out successful
ly, according to Commissioner Silb-
erstein, head of the safety division.
The new double shift daily, giving
half of the men an opportunity to
spend their nights at home alterna-
tely every month, is proving salts
act tory, Commissioner Silberstein
said, while the men are all expressing
themselves as well pleased with the
new program.
On January l Fire Chief Randall
added thirty-six men to the depart
ment in order to establish the double
platoon system at all of the fire halls
in the city. Each man works half
day, the day and night shifts alterna-
ting on the first of each month.
Changes in shifts are made every
morning and evening at each of the
stations.
"Chief Randall reports to me that
the double platoon system is working
very satisfactorily and that it is max
ing hit with the men," said Com
missioner Silberstein Wednesday. CAL
tho considerable difficulty was expe-
rienced in starting the new system,
because there were not enough men
on the eligible list to place in the de-
partment, everything has been
Strengthened out, and the system is
operating successfully. Duluth La
