IT DEFENDS.

President Wilson said some weeks ago that the conscription is not stigma; that on the con trary 1t is an honor conferred rather thrust upon the selected man. All were not convinced and perhaps very few convinced. by the simple presidential declaration without some ex- N planation and Senator J. Ham. Lewis, who has constituted himself the translator or interpreter of the president s sometimes cryptic utterances offered none.
 4 writer in the New York Tribune, however, explains why conscriptiop is not stigma:
 It is the height of folly and injustice for anyone 10 imply that with conscrption there goes blemish. If volunteers are the only pa triots, then there is sad dearth of national fidelity and service in this deserving land
 ''tThe safety and sanity of conscription obvious. All the citizens of the country cannot volunteer because of the obliging nature of their home and business life But the draft is like wand. First ascertaining that man is fit and convinced of the need for his help (though sub nissive to the selecting process) ,when it touches him all changes like magic and he is released from important home ties without the feeling of shirking and neglecting very necessary relations. When is drafted there can be no reproach complaint from those at home, for then truly is he answering his country's call. Such a reg ulatiOn solves admirably the problem of the married man. So does 1t answer the problem for millions of others who have sound personal ob- jections and inconveniences that deter them from voluntary enlistment '

The reduction of the draft quota for this county from 344 to 161 was simple act of jus tice plainly manifest to all who were familiar with the large element of alien population in this county There are no slackers in Green lee county. Our young men are ready and will ingsto answer the call of their country but it not right that this county should have been called upon in the first instance to furnish twice the quota as fixed for other counties where the alien population was nil.

In his letters to Messrs. Goethals and Den- man the President dwelt feelingly upon the per sonal sacrifices which both had made in their efforts to forward the, national shipbulding programme. There was one sacrifice, however, which neither was willing to make and that was of pride of opinion, which might easily have been abated in the promotion of common cause.

That the labor movement in Arizona is facing the most critical period in its history was the concensus of opinion of the delegates in at tendance upon the Sixth Annual Convention of the State Federation of Labor and several com mittees were appointed to combat what was al legged to be movement by the ''capitalist class to disrupt labor unions in the state.

A GOOD OMEN.

The adoption of motion made by Cliff ton delegate to the Arizona State Federation of Labor convention this week that telegram be sent to the Department of Labor requesting the sending of a mediator into the Clifton-Morenci district at this time may be taken as an indica- ton that the time has arrived, in the opinion of the former employees of the three companies operating in this district, when the good off, ces of mediator may be used to good advan- tage. In response to the telegram Secretary of Labor Wilson wired the convention that he had instructed Mediator Joseph $. Myers to return to the Clifton district at once. It is to be gretted that the District Labor Council refused to await the arrival of Mr. Myers in the begin ming instead of hurrying into strike. If they lad acceded to his request for postponment of the strike order we firmly of the opinion that there would have been no cessation of op- erations in this district on June }Oth

The old saying that it makes no difference whose is gored is exemplified in the resoIu- tions adopted by labor organizations through out the country protesting against the deporta- ton of l. w. w. followers and sympathizers from the Bisbee district. The camp at Coum- bus may be likened to the camp at Duncan two years ago-only the shoe is on the other foot Nevertheless, two wrongs do not make right and if the present situation continues the Gov will be compelled to convene the legisla- ture for the purpose of providing military arm of the state government for the enforcement of the laws and executive orders.

OIL INSPECTION
GUSTS GRAFTERS
JAMES DUCE IS MAKING A
SPLENDID RECORD.
Laboratory in State University at
Boulder Proves Valuable Asset
to Colorado in Helping to Elm
mate Easy Money Fakers.

While visiting the state university
in Boulder last Saturday, The Bulle-
tin editor took advantage of the op-
portunity thus afforded to inspect the
newly equipped state oil laboratory
there, which is now a part of the
university group. This is the special
field of James Duce, state oil inspec-
tor, and his two deputies, J. A. Hun
ter and w. W. Cafky. Every device
for, testing lubricating, Illuminating
and power generating oils is to be
found in this laboratory, which is per-
haps one of the best equipped in the
country, and its reports are now ac-
cepted as authority by the United
States government.
In his recent biennial report. for the
period ending November 80, 1916, In
spector Duce presented statistics
showing he had inspected 33,412, ,124
gallons of gasoline and II ,512,723 gal
Ions of refined oil, making a total of
44,S24,847 gallons. The inspection
fees of one mill per gallon for the
period amounted to $44, ,92485. Of
these fees, $43,71255 was collected
and paid in to the state treasurer.
During 1916 Colorado used 19,253,-
521 gallons of gasoline, net increase
of 36 per cent over the previous year.
There are two producing oil fields in
Colorado. In the biennial period COW
cred by the report the Florence field
produced 1906 $50 gallons of crude
oil and the Boulder field produced
459,900 gallons.
One of the most valuable features
of Inspector Duce's work is the detec-
tion of so-called "improvers" and sub
stitutes for oil, which are pure fakes.
He has driven out of business in Colo
RADIO during the past two years about
sixty-fve firms and agents dealing
in these nostrums. One firm alone,
thru extensive Advertising, was selling
$2,160 worth per month wholesale of
an "improver" made of common moth
balls guaranteed to increase the pow
er of the motor so per cent"
The office of state oil inspector was
created by an act of the legislature in
1899. A comparison of the results
achieved by the present inspector,
James Duce, and his predecessors show
that inspections have more than doub-
led in volume and the revenue convert
ed into the state treasury from this
source has quadrupled.
| Any consumer of oils, whatever be
| their nature, can have a laboratory
test made by sending a sample to In
: spector Duce, so that the properties
and value of the oil may be clearly
demonstrated. His office is in the
state capitol.

A NEW ENTERPRISE
Union Made Caskets Now Being Man
ufactured in This City.

The Olinger Mortuary company has
engaged in the manufacture of cas-
kets. The factory is located at 1854
West Thirty-second avenue, and at
the present time they employ one
cabinet maker and one upholsterer,
both members of organized labor. The
label will be used on all the products
turned out by this worthy concern and
cypress wood will be used in all cas-
kets made, which is a guarantee of
their high quality. The Bulletin COM
mends the Olinger company for its
enterprise and it is our wish that its
factory will grow to be one of the big
institutions in our state. We are now
enabled to procure caskets made in
Colorado and bearing the union label,
and the members of organized labor
should bear these facts in mind. The
Olinger company was the first con-
cern of this kind in the city to buy
caskets bearing the union label, but
was compelled to purchase from the
Western Casket Manufacturing COM
pany of Chicago because there was no
establishment with enterprise enough
to grasp the opportunity that pre-
sented itself and unionize their fac
tory for this purpose. Just recently
the Olinger company purchased car
load of caskets bearing the union
label, from the Western Casket Man
ufacturing company, in order to sup
ply the large demand being made upon
them, but they are now prepared to
manufacture their own caskets and
there will be no further need of buy
ing outside Colorado.

Members of organized labor and
other wage-earners are becoming in
terested in the extension course of the
state university at Boulder. By this
plan opportunity for useful and prac-
tical technical education is carried to
those whose employment prohibits
their regular attendance at the unlver-
sity. Within the past few weeks
Painters and Decorators Union No.
70 of Denver has organized class of
more than thirty, which will soon be-
gin a course in chemistry, university
instructors coming here at scheduled
dates arranged by the class for the
purpose of carrying out this work.
In order to gather some first hand
information upon the methods pursued
by the state university in its eXten-
sion work, The Bulletin editor, by in
vitation of several members of the
faculty, visited the university at Boul-
der last Saturday. There are now
! 1868 pupils enrolled thruout the state,
principally in Denver, Pueblo and
Boulder, who are taking advantage OF
these courses. There ought to be at
least 5000 and nothing would please
President Livingston Farrand of the
university and his able corps of in
structors more than to see this extern
sion work applied to every industrial
center of the state. Instructors are
ready to respond to calls from any
group of men or women who desire
assistance, and there is little or no
cost to the pupil. Where groups are
not formed, the extension course may
be taken thru correspondence direct
with the university, so there is no eX-
cuse for anyone in search of knowl-
edge remaining in ignorance.
$50 Students of Mechanics.
In the minds of many working peo-
pie the state university is an institu-
ton which turns out only doctors,
lawyers and graduates in other pro-
fessional lines. While as yet stu
dents in these courses predominant,
there are at present enrolled and at
tending regularly at the university
this year $50 students in mechanical
engineering. The total enrolment in
all departments for the winter term
this year is 400. The university con-
ducts a summer term as well. Last
summer there were $50 students en-

STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION COURSE
GAINS FAVOR AMONG WAGE-EARNERS
Painters Study
Faculty; The Bulletin Editor Visits Mechanical Engi-
neering Department at Boulder Institution and
Gains Much Interesting Information.

rolled while this year indications are
that more than 900 will attend thru
out the summer season.
An interesting fact, and one that is
not generally known to the public, is
that 60 per cent of the students at
tending the Colorado State university
are working their way thru. By this
we mean that this percentage secure
employment in the university or in
Boulder or vicinity sufficient to pay
their expenses while attending school,
This educational institution is main
tanned by direct taxation of the peo-
pie and income from state lands. 1t
is in truth the college for boys and
girls whose parents receive small in
comes. 1t is an institution of higher
education which belongs to the people.
Practical Extension Course.
The most useful branches taught in
the university come under the heads
of mechanical, electrical, civil and
chemical engineering. These branches
are all taught in the extension course
or thru correspondence where pupils
are unable to attend the university in
person.
The Bulletin editor was taken on a
personally conducted tour thru these
mechanical departments and it was a
revelation to him, as it would be to
hundreds of others, to find such thoro
preparation for teaching the useful
arts. Professors in overalls were in
structing students at the forge in the
blacksmith shop, the lathe in the ma
chine shop, and sand and clay in the
molding department, the bench in the
carpentry and cabinet making shop,
and at the grinders and testing ma
chinery in the road building and con-
struction department.
Complete Automobile Shops.
Some of the finished work turned
out by these students is equal to that
found at any mechanical engineering
works in this country. The students
in these mechanical departments were
all greatly interested in their work.
While The Bulletin editor has never
been sufficiently affluent to acquire an
automobile, he learned more about the
mechanism and how to operate one
during the twenty minutes visit in
the auto shop at the university than
he ever knew before.

DEFEAT LABORERS
CITY COUNCIL TURNS DOWN
PLEA FOR INCREASED PAY.
Finance Committee Sidesteps Real
Issue and Makes a Bunk Report
on Ordinance of Assembly.

Laborers employed by the city and
county of Denver are preparing to CIR
culate a petition for an amendment to
the CITY charter to be voted on in the
Nav election, raising the wages OF
this class of labor from $3.50 to so
per day.
An ordinance drawn by the Denver
Trades and Labor Assembly, thru ITS
Legislative committee, was submitted
to the city council several weeks ago,
providing for this increase. 1t failed
to gain the approval of Mayor Speer
and at last Monday nights meeting of
the city fathers was defeated by a
vote of 8 to /, Councilman Spacey,
who introduced the ordinance at the
request of the Trades Assembly, alone
voting for it.
The finance committee of the coun-
ell, which had considered the ordinance
introduced by Councilman Spacey,
submitted a report in which 1t was
claimed the increased pay would
amount to $93 900 per year. This, OF
course, is pure bunk, because the la
borers employed in the park and street
| improvement work are lucky if they
get in half time during the year
The finance committee of the coun-
Gil in it's report Monday night fur,
ther side-stepped granting additional
wages to the laborers by saying an
amendment to the city charter should
be drafted empowering the council to
| increase the pay of policemen and fire
men. 1t does not require an amend
ment to the city charter for an IN
crease of pay of city laborers.
Last Saturday night mass meet
ing of city laborers was held in the
Club building, when speeches were de-
livered by representative labor men
condemning Mayor Speer and the city
council for opposing the ordinance pro-
posed by the Trades Assembly. 1t
was known then that the measure
would be defeated in the city council,
because the mayor had so decreed.
The East Side Taxpayers Improve
ment association at meeting, held
Wednesday night in the Charles build
ing, adopted motion indorsing the
movement of city laborers for wage
increase from $3.50 to So per day. 1t
was further decided to lend support OF
the association to the laborers in
adopting an amendment to the city
charter carrying this increase.
1t was the view of those present that
city laborers lose so much time thru
out the year that the average monthly
wage is not sufficient to compete with
the ascending cost of living. A COM
mittee was appointed to cooperate
with the United Laborers Union in Sc
curing the wage increase. This COM
mittee consists of E. p. Rollins, chair
man; James Lindsay, and j. Koshnic.

WHY HE FAyoRs UNION LABOR.

In a letter to the Houston (Tex.)
Labor Journal, County Judge Bryan
says that the present commissioners
court has specified in all it's contracts
for public work that the work shall
be done by union labor, because they
are in sympathy with union labor and
because they realize that it is far more
satisfactory. and that better results
are obtained.

SOUTH DAKOTA PATRIOTISM
STIRRED BY DEPARTURE
OF SOLDIERS.

Pierre, Oct. 2.-The awakening of
South Dakota to the facts of war, as
evidenced by the dominant influence
which war needs and war conditions
have acquired in practically every ac-
tivity of the state, social, economic
the state, council of defense as an il
lustration that the west as a whole
can no longer fairly be charged with
apathy or lack of understanding.
While no one pretends to believe that
the job of rallying to the support of
the government is complete, there is
a general feeling of satisfaction at
the swing of things within the last
two months.
Departure of the states national
guard units for training camps was
marked throughout the state by re-
ceptions, celebrations and mass meet
ings. The movement of draft quotas
to their environments was attended by
the same sort of enthusiasm. The
state, having only the two regular
national guard regiments, met the
prospect of being left without any
home troops by organizing. partly on
an extra legal basis, the home guard
companies that now exist in scores OF
cities and towns. Much of the slim
ulation of patriotic thought is attrib-
utable to columns of letters written
home from Dakota boys stationed
either at military or naval stations or
actually in service with the allies in
France.
That farmers of the state, who
have been unusually prosperous and
who al a whole have expressed salts
faction with the settlement of such
farm problems as that of wheat price
fixing, will do their bit in absorbing
the Liberty loan issue is predicted by
the state council. The speaking tour
of Secretary w. G.. McAdoo, which
will include addresses at Sioux Falls
and Aberdeen, has been prepared for
by advance organizations in the coun-
ties. Bankers have worked together
to present the Liberty bonds not as a
loan, but as investment, following the
Wisconsin idea in this respect.
