With the first sessions of the COM

choosing between two means of deal

ers are to play in ending the war and
controlling the terms of the settle

lists are chiefly socialist in politics and
they are largely syndicalist in method
of organization. Hence their first i'm
pulse would be to want to send a dele

from the standpoint of the working

On the other hand, the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor has from the outset of the war
opposed all peace conferences in which
the socialist organizations were to be
influential. Ii has refused to be rep-
resented in the one called for Septem-

position that it would be opposed TO

Colorado is to have band of cos
sacks riding over the state for the pur-
pose of subjugating labor and sup
pressing all citizens who go contrary
to the wish of the corporations. Colo
RADIO having so fer been free of l. w.
W. disturbers is to suffer even a worse
affliction. In addition to this band of
200 cossacks there are to be 700
guards provided and paid for by the
state to watch bridges and tunnels of
the railroads, water reservoirs, manu-
featuring plants, etc.
This will cost the citizens of Colo
RADIO $780, 900. a pretty stiff sum to
hand over to the corporations on the
plea that this is necessary to protect
property.
y AS a matter of fact, these safety"
measures will be used chiefly to pre-
vent working people from enforcing
demands for a living wage or any
beneficial change in working condi-
tions.
This measure passed the senate and
house last Saturday and was signed
by the governor. The special session
then adjourned, after having been in
operation seventeen days.
Only one constructive bill was
passed. 1t was proposed by Senator
Agnes Riddle, which imposes fine of
81 900 on any person, firm or corpor
alton which wantonly destroys food
products in order to stiffen prices.
The constabulary is to consist of an
initial force of 200 men, enlistments
are to be for two years, and the insti
tuition is to be discontinued within
ninety days after the war ends.
The men of the ranks are to be paid
$50 a month and expenses, and they
can supercede civil authorities on re-
quest of the sheriff for assistance, or

GERS, but it is to be warmly supported
by some of the delegates, it is declared
Numerous changes in the elaborate
system of laws which governs the un-
ion will be proposed, reported upon by
the laws committee and decided by the
delegates. However. the convention
sessions will only cover about two days
after the organization. Saturday and
Sunday will be devoted to entertain
ment, Monday will see the official vel
come delivered, the committees ap-
pointed and delegates seated, while
Tuesday and Wednesday will be de-
voted to entertainment. Thursday and
Friday morning will be filled fairly full
with business. The convention will
be brought to a close Saturday morn
ing.
No Election.
No officers will be elected at the con-
vention, the local unions making their
choices thru referendum vote. How
ever, the next convention city will be
chosen and. acroriing to prominent
delegates, Scranton, Pa, is likely to be
the successful applicant. A determined
effort to land the plum is being made
by the Pennsylvania city, and a large
delegation will be in attendance to
prosecute their fight.
The actual attendance of delegates
probably will not exceed $50, according
to the officials. Most of them, how
ever, will be accompanied by their
families, so that the visitors will run
far above the thousand mark. The
distance from the center of population
and the pressure of war possibly will
limit the attendance somewhat, but a
good-sized crowd is expected.
"Our conventions usually are shirt
sleeves affairs" said President Scott
yesterday in discussing the midsum-
mer meetings of the union. at will be
a pleasant change to hold the sessions
in cool Colorado and to enjoy the de-
lights of this city. No other city of
this size ever attempts to entertain the
printers" he continued, "but this will
be the Springs third achievement in
that direction. 1t is a real pleasure
to be here again and the entire body
of delegates will appreciate the resort
advantages of the Pixies Peak region"
Canada Represented.
Robert Elliott of Toronto, Canada, is
the advance guard of delegation of
forty printers who will be here from
Canada. The eastern part of the
dominion will be well represented in
the convention, but the smaller unions

tatives, he said. Indicating what may
be expected in this country as the war
continues, Mr.. Elliott said that Canada
has settled itself into the process of
making war until it had become a
matter of routine.
There is no unemployment in our
craft in Canada" he said yesterday,
"and the percentage of increases
granted the last year has been greater
than in any period in the past Wages
are good and industrial conditions gen
orally are highly satisfactory. There
now are more than 400 printers in the
trenches of France with Canadian
troops-a representation not exceeded
by any other craft in the dominion"
The visiting officials will be enter
tained by automobile rides over the
region and in Crystal park today and
tomorrow.

OFFICIALS ARRIVE
FOR /. 7. U. MEET
BUSINESS SESSIONS WILL
OPEN NEXT MONDAY.

COLORADO SPRINGS, August Z.
"A proposal to establish branch of
the Union Printers Home in Tampa,
Fla, and an amendment to the by
laws to transfer the burden of dues
and assessments of enlisted printers
from the local unions to the interna-
tional body will be the principal ques-
tions to be debated during the busi-
ness sessions of the /. 7. U. conven-
ton, which opens here next Monday.
The laws committee of the organiza-
tion, accompanying the high officials
and their Office staffs, arrived in Colo
rado Springs Tuesday morning and
established offices in the Acacia hotel.
During the week the committee con-
sidered these proposals, together with
about 200 other suggested amend
ments, and will frame report to be
considered by the convention.
Marsden G. Scott, president, and j.
w. Hays, ecretary-treasurer, head
the official party which reached here
yesterday. With them were Walter
w. Barrett of Chicago, first vice pres
ident, and Hugo Miller of Indianapolis,
second vice president. The laws COM
mittee is composed of John w. Keat-
ing of Milwaukee, Howard Keener of
Tucson, Ariz.; Philip Johnson of San
Francisco, Thomas w. johnson of New
York; L. T. Woody of Richmond, Va. I;
John J. Murphy of Providence, r. /.
Other prominent figures in the union
who also arrived yesterday include ::
Joseph G. Marshall, assistant editor of
the International Typographical Jour
nal, of Indianapolis; L. c. Shepard of
Grand Rapids, Mich, who was for sew
enteen years trustee of the Union
Printers Home; B. G. Brady of Bos-
ton, representative for the New Eng
land district; r. E. Darnaby of In
dianapolis, general manager of the
Hollenbeck press; w. J. Squires of
Indianapolis, who was private secre-
tary to James NJ. Lynch when the lat
ter was president of the union. An
office staff of five stenographers and
clerks are in charge of the Office suite.
Old Proposal.
The proposal to establish a branch
of the Home is not a new one, but has
occurred at several conventions. Pres
sure has been brought on the delegates
to erect home for such invalided
but who cannot live at this altitude.
The proposition usually has met ac-
tive opposition and the head officers
of the union are not sympathetic with
the plan. However, it has gained con-
siderable strength at times and, in
spite of frequent defeats, it bobs up
at each convention.
Since the outbreak of the war print
ers have Joined the colors in great
numbers thruout the country, and each
local union, acting voluntarily, has ar
ranged for the payment not only of
the local dues of the enlisted mem
bers, but their pension and mortuary
assessments as well. In many cases
the burden has been heavy one for
the unions, and will increase, of course,
as the war continues. The proposal
before the union is to increase the per
capita tax sufficiently to permit the
payment of all union dues by the head
office, instead of by each local union.
