Bakers
lBy Ray Lowderbark.)

The strike of the Bakery Workers
is now going on it's tenth week, and the
bakers are still determined that it
must be kept up until these three firms
-Campbell-Sel bakery, Old Home
stead bakery, and the Macklem bakery
give recognition to the Bakery Work
ers, and organized labor. The small
bakery that the members of the local
has started is doing very nicely and is
gradually making inroads on the trade
of the three scab firms We ask our
union label and help this small bakery
grow. We are endeavoring to take
care of the restaurant trade and there
is no excuse now for the restaurant
keeper in telling you that he cannot
get good union bread, as many of
them are now using bread that is
made by the union bakery.
AT the last meeting we elected
Brothers Jesse Clonch and Lowder-
back to go to the International Ba-
kerry Workers convention in Boston,
Mass, and take up the situation of the
Denver bakers with the convention,
Bakery Workers concentrate every
effort possible on the Denver situa-
ton, until such time that the three
scab firms make peace. Brother Low
derback was also instructed to attend
the State Federation of Labor conven-
ton in Boulder and explain the sit
uation of the Bakery Workers to the
delegates.
Most of the striking bakers are
working at one thing or another. and
feel content to do so, so long as the
firms refuse TO grant them the privi-
lege and right that should belong TO
every American citizen-that is, the
right TO bargain collectively. II has
been rumored that the Ward Bread
company, which just recently made
peace with the Int" national Bakery
Workers, were goinE 20 come to Den
Yer and locate in the We. : near future
This is one of the largest bread firms
in the United States owning plants in
about a dozen large cities.
II as many scabs have been drafted
as union bakers It appears that there
may be a shortage Of said class of
bakers.
Remember, Mr.. Union Man. every
time you buy an article with the union
label you are helping the cause Of un-
ionism, and also employing union men
or women. Some day labor will real
ize the value of its purchasing power.
then it will not be necessary to resort
to strikes.

Sheet Metal Workers

The strike affecting a few of the
coppersmithing shops of Cincinnati
and which involves limited number
of members of Local No. SO has now
been in existence well into the third
month. However, the men are in no
way discouraged or indicating any
show of anxiety, as they feel a strong
sense of security in the end that the
small wage increase sought will be
forthcoming. That is the kind of an
effort that wins battles and it will win
for No. SO.
Local Union No. 4O2, of Ashland
KY, is composed of men who are not
slow in arriving at benefits that ac-
crue to organization and for a small
body of men and really new to the
movement have demonstrated that
they want to be up to date. A request
was made of the employers for a wage
increase and a change in working con-
ditions. The employers at first were
not inclined to respond, but after sus-
pension of work for few days an
agreement was made, which provided
wage scale of so cents per hour and
which is a fine showing for that To-
cality.
A settlement of the strike affecting
portion of the membership of Local
No. 16, Portland, Ore, was consum-
mated early in June. The adjustment
was on a compromise basis, to the
effect that the original increase sought
for is conceded, part of it becoming
effective Immediately and the balance
at later period. This strike was well
conducted and the settlement worked
out in mutual way.

Electrical Workers

The Electrical Workers of Topeka
used a novel method of choosing their
delegate to the Kansas State Fedora
tion of Labor. In order to be entitled
to accept the nomination you had to
be one of four candidates with the
best record of attendance at the meet
ings of the union. The competition
for nomination was keen, as several
besides the four chosen, have
good attendance records. II. p. War
rem was elected delegate to go to the
and M. G. Hathaway alter
nate. Mr.. Warren, it is reported, has
only missed attending one meeting of
the union in two years.

total of S1,137.s5. With the excep-
tionally low expenditure of $2S6.50 left
us balance July 80. of $S51.35. Sick
benefits claimed S133.45, travelling
loans, S11; tax, S12.50; hall and office
rent, $2S; officers salaries, S91; sun
dries, S10.55.
Yes, we got one of those invitations
from the Employers association asking
our cooperation which will be referred
to our next regular meeting. How
ever, we do not believe that we will
be eligible for membership.
President Hornburg and H. F. Fritz
who will represent us at the conven-
tion of the Colorado State Federation
of Labor next week in Boulder have
been busy the past couple of weeks
looking up data on the cigar industry
and some interesting facts relating to
our trade in the West will probably
be furnished by them during the ses-
sion. They will no doubt tell the dele
gates how, in the last year, three non-
union factories have sprung into ex-
istence and are selling their cigars
with more or less success on their past
reputation when they were identified
with our union and paid our scale of
wages.
Puritan Bond, Copyright, Best VAL
ue, Queen City Winners, Hanger and
High Altitude are some of the &c
cigars made in Denver that do not
bear the label of the C. NJ. l. u. of
A. The factories making these cigars
do not employ members of our union,
which accounts for this. Manufactur-
ers that do not use our label are not
entitled to it, no matter what excuse
they may offer. Our label is furnished
free to fair manufacturers.
Harry payplka has takap adyapta 90

We congratulate II. S. Peregrine on
his election to the presidency of the
Denver Trades and Labor Assembly
and the spirit in which he enters upon
his duties. We believe this will be an
attraction.
A canvas of some of the leading
cigar stands in the city in the last few
days reveals very few of the nom

Label goods are in greater demand
than ever before. II you are going to
pay the same price for a cigar why not
get the best? Cheap goods are never
the best.
Fred Hilse, formerly member of No
129, came to town last week after an
absence of some years, and will make
this his home indefinitely.
Ellwood Urey, after touring the
West for several months, has decided
to take advantage of the prosperity
that we are enjoying here. Urey says
Denver is the next best place to Cleve-
land, his old home.
Just as a reminder, we dropped the
Boulder unions n line on label cigars
last week SO they might be prepared
to show the visitors where to buy
their smokes next week
Union men should patronize union
products to be entitled to the name.

Laundry Workers

Twenty-seven laundries in Seattle
are now operating under a blanket
agreement whereby every employe, in
side workers, engineers and drivers,
belong to the union. The strike lasted
some three weeks and was carried
on in such manner that public sym
pathy was with the girls from the first
and was the important factor in bring
ing about settlement. An increase
in wages and full recognition of the
union have been secured, under the
agreement which runs for one year.

Carpenters

1t don't cost any more to keep in
good standing in your union. The
wives of union men should also be in
terested and see that their husbands
are in good standing. For some of
the benefits come only to the wife after
the husbands death. The man gets
none of that benefit. The family is
directly affected, and if the head is a
Stacker, rattle his Stats and wake him
up. Section as of the general con-
stitution reads: "When a member
owes sum equal to three months
dues, he is not in good standing, and
is thereby suspended from all donations
and will not again be entitled to dona-
tions until three months after his ar
rearages are paid in full, including the
current MONTH" Remember that the
word donations with the Carpenters is
substituted for insurance.

Mrs. Violettie Seasles Kinsman
passed away at her home in Long
Beach, Calf. Saturday morning, Jan.
27. 1917, aged II years, 6 months
and Is days. She was married to
Lafayette Kinsman nearly 81 years
ago. Three children were born to this
union. Mrs. C. L. Ford, the oldest
daughter, having passed away IS
years ago. Mrs. J. d. Bald and Mrs.
Chas. Schroeder who reside here. She
was devoted wife and kind and no.
BILE mother. She leaves a husband,
two daughters, two granddaughters
and six grandsons to mourn her loss.
Her sickness was long and of the
most trying character, yet it was
borne with meekness and patience.
Mother, dear, how much we miss you.
We long to see you just once more.
Seems so lonely here without you,
And our hearts are sad and sore.
Yes, we are lonely, oh, so lonely,
And we miss you everywhere,
And our hearts are near to breaking,
When we see your vacant chair.
Lonely, too, is your companion,
Who has journeyed by your side,
Sharing all your joys and sorrows.
Since you became his youthful bride
When sickness came upon you,
Trusting it all to Jesus,
To bring you peace and rest.
Then rest, dear mother, sweetly rest,
Tho our tears may sometimes flow,
The same dear God that cares for you
Will help us here below.
The following Is a letter written
to Mr.. Schroeder from a friend of
the family who was at the bedside of
her mother<daily, during her illness:
Long Beach, Calf, Jan. 29,'17
My Dear Mrs. Schroeder: AS a
friend and neighbor want to express
to your my heartfelt sympathy in this,
your great sorrow, for we know full
well how you loved to have been with
your dear mother in her last illness,
but dear one you can be assured that
everything was done for her that low
ing hands and money could do and she
was SO patient thru all her suffering.
Mrs. Parry, her niece, who was with
her four weeks said she never cared
for one of so loving disposition as
your mother, and she was such a suf-
ferer. AS she was it was surely
blessing when she went, SO peacefully
to sleep. During her nine weeks of
illness saw her every day and she
was conscious to tho last only when
never saw such a kind disposition as
Mrs. Pilkinton has shown thru 1t all
and never tireing in doing something
for her dear grandmother. Such a
comfort and blessing that your sister
could be, and your dear father has
been SO brave thru 1t all. This after
noon at 2 o'clock we paid the last
tribute to her and have never look
ed on q more peaceful form in my
life; SO sweet, in beautiful white
robe and still gray casket with sill
yer trimmings. A beautiful sermon
by the Christian minister was
and 1t was Q most beautiful
spot where she was laid to rest. As
soon as we returned from the ceme-
terry my thoughts turned to you 20
far away and 'first wanted to express
to you my sympathy At this time for
to know what It d to give mp . mo-
ther. OF course know the family
Will write you very soon. with heart
felt love, and aynpathy ffom
