"The United States tariff commits

congress in the act of September 8,

SPECIAL MEETING
COLORADOSOLONS
NOW in SESSION
WAR MEASURES TO BE
CONSIDERED.
Colorado's Financial Needs and Moral
Obligations During War Crisis
Presented to Legislature by
Governor Julius c. Gunter.

The twenty-first general assembly
of Colorado conyened in extraordinary
session Wednesday at noon, to consider
military and protective measures con-
tanned in the call issued by Governor
Julius c. Gunter.
In the house, despite some opposi-
ton, Boon Best was reelected speaker.
James A. Pulliam, lieutenant gov
ernor, was in the chair when the SEN
ate was called TO order at noon. He
also presided at the joint assembly
of senators and representatives in the
house when the governor delivered
his message.
Colorado's financial needs and moral
obligations during the war crisis were
presented to senators and representa-
tives by Governor Gunter when the
assembly convened. He said the ma
ton had successfully met every ques-
ton, foreign and domestic, that had
so far presented itself as the result
of the war, and expressed hope that
Colorado's legislators would deal wise
ly with the weighty problems about
to be considered for the welfare of the
commonwealth.
The governor in his war message
recommended revenue-raising legisla-
tion which would realize 50 500 900, of
which amount 81 ,500,0 900 would go to
the maintenance of a state mounted
police.
Consideration of legislation curbing
food speculation and insuring adequate
methods of food distribution also were
recommended for the deliberation of
the legislators.
The Governors Address.
The governor said, in part:
Mr.. President and Members of the
twenty-first general assembly: When
this body gathered and adjourned in
regular session our nation was at
peace with all the world; now, the con-
trolling actor in the most titanic strug-
gle which has marked the course of
history. Every effort known to the
law of nations, to the wisdom of dip
lomacy, has been availed of to avert
upon honorable terms participation in
this confiict-all in vain. The United
States of America-our country-is at
war: at war with more than 200 0,000,-
900 of people equipped by years of
military training, and whose splendid
fighting qualities no brave man can
doubt. Wrong are the rulers of these
valient peoples, but loyalty and de-
votedly do they follow these leaders.
ton. they love their quiet homes, their
their country, but the time has never
been when the call to arms has sounded
that the American people have failed
to become the brave and efficient SOL

sary to the gauge of battle. First

PACKING HOUSE
EMPLOYEES STRIKE
NDENVER ERPLANTS
DISCHARGE OF UNION MEN
IS CAUSE.
More Than 900 Men and 100 Women
Workers Quit as Protest in Swift
and Armour Establishments.

More than 1000 packing house en-
ployes, men and women, at the Swift
and Armour plants in Denver are on
strike.
The walkout was precipitated Tues
day and Wednesday, when, it is
charged. the bosses in the two estab-
lishments named began general dis
charge of men suspected of joining the
new union of the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen of
America. affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor. Some forty men
were discharged for this cause, union
officials state. Other employees, or
ganized and unorganized, walked out
in protest.
As is becoming the custom of late,
the daily press, thru interviews and
otherwise. appears anxious to create
the impression that the l. w. w. and
alien enemy influence and money is in
some manner responsible for the
strike.
Officers of the Colorado labor move
ment positively deny these insinua-
tions, and make statements that n
correct version of the affair is as
follows:
some weeks ago IeSuiariy aCCreu-
tied representatives of the American
Federation of Labor began an organi-
zation campaign among the packing
house workmen. A local union was
instituted and officers elected. A few
days later members of the organiza-
tion were discharged for no apparent
reason except having affiliated with
the new organization. Some forty or
fifty men in the two plants were
fired"
One Of the first men discharged
was the president of the new union.
He had been in the employ of Swift's
for sixteen years, was an unusually
competent workman and received S7le
cents per hour. He seldom averaged
more than forty hours per week.
When these facts became known in
the plants. practically all of those
remaining-mena and women-quit. 1t
is reported 100 women and more than
900 men are out.
Labor officials say the women were
employed on an hour basis and if Civ
en- forty eight hours work per week
(full time) they would receive 1912
for the six days. However, the com.
plant is made that few received full
time and 81 per week was above the
