|. T. u. SESSION
ENDS AT SPRINGS
IN RECORD TIME
SHORTEST MEETING HELD
IN MANY YEARS.
Administration Party" Wins Out All
Along the Line; Valuable Gifts
for Members of the Commit
tee on Arrangements.

The sixty-third session of the Inter
national Typographical Union in Colo
rado Springs adjourned at o'clock
Friday evening of last week, having
completed its work in five days, the
shortest on record for many years.
What is known in printerdom as the
administration party" of the union
won on every proposition without even
the necessity of a roll call vote. A
move to establish another home in
the southern part of the country was
overwhelmingly defeated. Likewise a
plan to adopt uniform scales thruout
the jurisdiction went down by a large
adverse vote.
Joyous Chorus of Ayes"
One amusing feature Of the closing
session was the consideration Of sew
cral propositions brought up by one
prCcoci0us delegate who had been very
prominent on the floor Of the couven-
ton in introducing propositions and
speaking in favor Of them. The first
one which was taken up was consid-
cred at some length, but was voted
down As the others were taken up in
succession and the delegates spoke on
them, action was speeded up, and by
the time the last one was reached the
vote was quick and overwhelming. and
there seemed to be joyous unanimity
with which the delegates roared out
their ayes" in adopting the unfavor
able report of the committee.
After Scranton. Pa, had been unan-
imously chosen for the 1918 conven-
ton. Albany, y. Y, put in bid for
1919, and Evansville. Ind, for 1920.
Care for Members in War.
A proposition with two alternatives
for taking care of members who enter
war service is TO be submitted to n
referendum vote One is that the sub
ordinate local unions care for the dues
of their enlisted members and the re-
sponsibility of protecting their situa-
tions. The other provides for a per
capita assessment of ten cents per
month from each member of the or
ganizntion by which the executive of
fcers will reimburse the local unions
for expense in caring for enlisted
mems dues and assessments. This
fund is TO be made effective from jan
uary !, 1918. until peace is declared.
The proposition backed by the Cana
dian union for a Canadian vice presi-
dent was unfavorably reported by the
laws committee and was lost. A pro-
posal to reduce the time limit for re-
admission to the Union Printers Home
for those discharged was defeated on
the ground that the present plan re-
quiring one years time to elapse be-
fore gaining admission again is sat
isfactory and an excellent factor in
discipline.
Gifts for the Committee.
The closing feature of the conven-
tion was the report of the committee
on thanks. After expressing its ap-
probation Of the work of the Colo
RADIO Springs arrangements committee,
the services of the speakers, the re-
ports given bv the local newspapers,
the support of the Chamber of Com
merce and others, Colonel Robert Oar

THE PROOF OF LABOR's WISDOM.
Governments Agreement With Car
penters Is Most Sweeping.

WASHINGTON, August 2O.-The
strength of the organized labor move
ment and the wisdom of its course has
had no better proof than the agree
ment just entered into between the
government and the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners, by which all
work on army cantonments is to be
done by union labor.
Under the terms of the agreement
not only the carpenters must be or
ganized workers, but all other labor
on these big jobs must be organized.
This is one of the most sweeping la
bor agreements ever entered into and
one of the most important. 1t marks

SCHOOL OF MINES
ROW GETS WARM
APPOINTMENT OF ALDER
SON HELD ILLEGAL.
Attorney General Hubbard Renders
An Opinion Which Sustains Protest
of Willis, President of the Board
of Trustees.

The appointment of Victor c. Alder
son as president of the School of Mines
at Golden is illegal, according to an
opinion given Thursday by Attorney
General Leslie E. Hubbard. The opin-
ion was given at the request of Frank
C. Willis of Cripple Creek, president
of the board of trustees of the school.
1t declares that the appointment
must be made by the trustees acting
as a board. not by three trustees act
ing individually. Therefore, Anderson
is without authority at the school and
none of his acts, including the DIS
charge of Professors Patton and
Young is binding.
The opinion of Hubbard and his as
sistant. Charles Roach, follows:
I'VE are advised in substance that
three of the members of the board OF
trustees of the School of Mines, while
acting in an individual capacity and
not at a regular or duly called special
meeting of the board, have presumed
to appoint Victor c. Anderson as presi-
dent of the school, and you request
the opinion of this department con-
cerning the validity of such action.
I'VE advise you that we are clearly
of the opinion that such an appoint
ment can only be made by the trus-
tees when duly assembled and acting
as board, and that the individual as
sent of three of the members, especial
" in regard to a matter of such grave
Importance. is wholly insufficient TO
bind the school.
"It follows that Victor c. Anderson
has no right to assume or exercise any
of the powers or duties of the presi
dency of the school"

Especial to The BuIIetin)

NEW YORK, August 22.-With
plans already well under way for local
organizations thruout the country, the
American alliance for labor and DEM
ocracy has been organized here TO
more completely Americanize the la
Dor movement" by counteracting the
work of pro-German, anti-American
organizations.
The new alliance was formed after
the Central Federated Union of Great
er New York had recognized the dan
ger in the situation and adopted reso-
lutiOns calling for immediate action to
meet that danger.
President Gompers was called to
New York to address the Central Fed
Grated Union. At later conferences
between New York and the national
labor men plans were laid and the
alliance formed.
Members of Alliance.
President Gompers is its chairman,
Frank Morrison its vice chairman, and
Robert Maisel of New York, its sec
retary. Mr.. Maisel is also secretary
Of the national labor publicity organi-
zation. On the advisory board are
James P. Holland, president of the
New York State Federation of Labor;
y.
tive IN New York and now a member
of the war purchases board; David j.
Berry, editor of the National Labor
Journal, Pittsburg; W. L. Small. edi-
tor of the Newark Labor Bulletin;
Robert P. Brindell of the Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners; William
kohn, president of the Central Fed
Grated Union; Ernest Suhn1. secretary
of the Central Federated Union;
Chester NJ. Wright, former editor of
the New York Call, and Joseph Baron
dess, member of the New York Board
of Education.
To Organize in Cities.
A call has been sent to state and
central labor bodies thruout the coun-
try for the organization at once of
local alliances, and it is expected that
within two or three weeks there will
be an alliance in almost every city in
which there is central labor body.
1t Is the purpose of the alliance to
voice the position of the labor move
ment at all times as the true spokes-
man for organized labor. The alli-
ance will keep constant watch to see
that false prophets and would-be labor
leaders are not permitted to deceive
either the labor movement or the gen.
eral public.
Inc american lapOr movement
stands firmly with the government and
for democracy in this war. Its posi-
ton is clearly stated in the declaration
adopted at the great conference of
national and international officers in
Washington on March 70, 1917.
Labor Its Own Spokesman.
The so-called workmen's councils
or peoples councils cannot speak for
the labor movement. The reason is
simple. They are not the labor move
ment and the labor movement insists
upon being its own spokesman. This
the American alliance for labor and
democracy makes clear and it warns
the American people against deception
by those who pretend to speak for la
Dor but who have not even the slight
est show of authority to speak for
labor
The alliance, from its national head
quarters in New York, will conduct
vigorous campaign of publicity and
education. setting forth the purposes
and position of the labor movement in
the war and making clear the demands
of democracy upon all Americans.

LABOR TEMPLE PLAN.
Decide to Forego Further Efforts I'm
til End of War.

A meeting of the Denver Labor
Temple Association was held Tuesday
night, the first in several months. 1t
was voted TO discontinue any further
efforts TO raise funds for a Temple
until after close of the war.
Lack of interest among the unions
has been very apparent since the site
secured on Curtis street last spring
was disapproved. 1t now appears that
the chances of Denver labor having a
home of its own is as far away as
ever before.
