Letter o Members of

The last regular meeting of Denver
Typographical Union directed that a
letter be framed and forwarded to
members of the state legislature ex-
pressing the demand of the member

law be repealed. The following letter
was drafted and sent:

been one of almost unbroken harmon

unanimous vote, directed its officers

proval of its membership Of the pend

Industrial commission law.

state group movements in the accomplishment of
any achievement, the declaration or legal perrris
sion of individual action is meaningless. In the
amendments referred to the term strike is defined
follows:
The term strike shall mean and include any
cessation of work. by two more employees, the
intent, the natural and probable consequence
and effect of which is to such cessation of work
as means of enforcing any demand made by such
employees upon their employer to aid other
employees of other employers in enforcing any de-
mand upon their employer, for change in the
maintenance of, the existing conditions of employ
ment"
With cunning and adroitness the trainers of that
section now seek to destroy rights which they
ceded to the wage-earners under the present law.
The section defining strike is SO phrased to
automatically crirninalize the entire wageearning
population of the state unless they humbly submit
to every indignity heaped upon them and remain
at work. Employers of labor, conscious of the
despotic power conferred upon the commission by
the adoption of this amendment will this instru
mentof oppression to impose still greater ndigni-
ties upon the workers. Screened by legal enact
ments the consciences of the employers of labor
become scared with the mania for emoluments
flowing from industry. With the power and influ-

Coorado's industrial commission law which inn
poses involuntary servitude upon the wageearn-
ers, has been in operation approximately two years
Precisely in consonance with every commission
clothed with vicarious authority the distinguish
ing feature of its operation is the keen thirst for
more power upon the part of its administrators
and champions.
Not satisfied with authority to invade union
meetings, impose involuntary servitude upon wage
earncrs and inflict fines and Jail sentences upon
workers for exercising their rights under the or
ganic law of the country, amendments are now
pending in the state senate which. if enacted into
law, will bandage the mouths of the toilers and
forbid them to even verbally protest against the
wrongs which they suffer, and will make criminal
the cessation of work by two employees of the same
employer. For legislative Nervousness these amend

WASHINGTON, Feb. GA Pan
upon the pending 4pionage bill, at a
hearing before the house judiciary
committee, on Wash ngton's birthday,
by Arthur E. Holder. legislative agent
of the American Federation of Labor.
He attacked particularly the section
of the bill entitled "Untruthful State
ments," which prescribes five years
Imprisonment and a heavy fine as pen
alties for the attempt, by use of false
statements under oath, made willing
ly and knowingly. to influence the
action of any part of the United
States government,
Holder pointed out that this clause
might be construed as forbidding a
labor union to petition congress, its
sworn statements being subject to
the courts denial # their truth and
sincerity. A reactiOlary federal judge
in West Virginia or Alabama might
decide that a statement sworn to by
group of strikers, in an appeal to
a congressman or other official, were
false; in which case he could infiict
the penalty.
Want Sanity Restored.
At this same house committee hear
ing on the espionage bill appeared
representatives OF the emergency
peace federation, which is just now
conducting a campaign to bring pub
lie opinion to beaI on the president
and congress to pr vent any unneces-
sary war. Delega es from forty-five
colleges and Universities were in

federation's message to the house and

Garner placed his first dollar in q
savings bank he became a capitalist,
finally finishing the unwinding of his
skein of malediction against labor by
advocating that in addition to the le-
gal shackles already welded on labor
that the amendments proposed by
Senator Lewis and himself, providing
that even the verbal protests of labor
shall be made unlawful, be passed.
Effront to the Working People.
Senator Candlish performed the
hitherto unheard of effrontry of a
member of legislative committee be-
fore which cause is being heard in
open public session, taking the floor
and speaking for more than two hours
in order to prevent advocates of an
appeal in behalf of labor being heard.
This frame-up by Senators Lewis and
Candlish, evidently concurred in by a
majority of the joint committee, was
the rankest piece of squelching ever
meted out TO the working people of
any state.
Immediately upon the conclusion of
Senator Candlish's loquacious declama-
tion, Chairman Lewis arose and ad-
journed the hearing, altho representa-
tives of labor from every part of the
chamber protested against the un-
fairness of summarily closing the
meeting without affording an oppor-
tunity for those who were author
ized to speak for labor to refute the
aspersions cast on the labor move
ment of the state or register their
opposition to the vicious amendments
proposed to the present law. Chair
man Lewis and Senator Candlish i'm
mediately left the chamber, while the
audience gathered in groups to ex-
press their indignation over the brutal
methods employed by the champions
of involuntary servitude.
Tactics That Cause Amazement.
Labor was denied an opportunity
to present objections TO the vicious
amendments to the industrial law pro-
posed by Senators Lewis and Candlish.
1t was an example of rough-shod tao
tics that fairly amazed the large
number of organized labor members
and other citizens present.
This exhibition clearly indicates
that the Democratic party proposes to
smite the hand that placed it in pow
er. Labor of the state, under the as
surance of the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party that their influence would
/ be used in an effort TO repeal the
industrial commission law, gave full
support to that party last November.
1t now develops that Governor Gun
ter and the reactionary Democratic
members of both the house and senate
are determined to still more firmly
weld the bands OF involuntary servi-
tude upon the wage-earners of this
state. Notwithstanding the pledges
made.
Organized labor of the state ac-
cepts the challenge of the Democrat
ic party. In the ides of November,
/ 1918, the labor movement of this state
will officiate in the last sad rites over
the remains of Democratic political
organization whose death was super
induced by the gangrene of broken
! faith and duplicity.

ESPIONAGE BILL CAUSES A BIG STIR
IN NCONGRESS WHEN 1T is DISSECTED

gressmen before they were thru. and
told each member that they wanted the
espionage bill defeated as means of
restoring sanity to the country at
large.
From pro-war sources comes the
rumor that the Council of National
Defense, a government-finance addi-
ton to the war department, is going
to prepare all necessary plans for the
seizure of the nations food supply
by the government in case of war. Ac-
cording to this story, which seems to
have been set afioat to quiet the fears
of famine which have been expressed
by large section of the labor move
ment, the president is perfectly will
ing to establish at reasonable prices
of all the grain. fruit, canned goods,
meat, etc, in the United States.
Going the Whole Route.
These reports are probably untrue.
not sitting up nights worrying about
the right of the American wage-earn-
er to eat three square meals a day at
half his present cost for food. 1t is
busy with the problem of getting him
to agree that he wants big standing
army and universal military service
to boot. Only the fact that the Re
publicans and Democrats in congress
after March 4 will be balanced off,
while five independent progressive
members of the house hold the decid-
ing votes on administration matters,
will possibly prevent the adoption of
the militarist system entire.
