LABOR'S OPPORTUNITY IN COLORADO

farmers and workers. 1t is tied to the
chariot of no political organization.
Its members have rebelled at the ex-
ploitation of the producers and con-
sumers and in its first battle has Sc
cured possession of the legislative and
executive forces of the states men
toned, not for the political glory and
emolument of office holders, but for the
purpose of administering the peoples
affairs for the peoples benefit.
The organization work is going for
being enrolled with but little effort,
townships, county and state central
committees will be formed and the
fruItion of this organizations efforts
Will be seen eighteen months hence
when it will take a farmer from the
field or worker from the bench and
place him in the governors chair, sup
ported by legislature made up of the
same kind of timber.
Our opportunity is here and now
the day of redemption of this state will
soon be at hand. When we look back
at the humiliation we felt at seeing
our efforts sneered at, our protesta-
tons ridiculed and our representatives
practically elected from the capitol
during the last legislative session. I
believe the justification will be found
for the labor movement allying itself
with this organization of the agrarian
interests.
They, too, are tired and disguised
with the men of dwarf-like mental
stature that have been allowed to oc
cupy the administrative and legislative
positions in this state to the profit and
advantage of those exploiters who
stand between the producers and con-
sumer.
/ urge upon all labor men a careful
consideration of that which lies ahead
in the political field in this state. Shall
we climb aboard and take a hand in
the good work that is to be done and
receive credit therefor? We now
know that nothing can be gained thru
any political party in this state. Let's
do it ourselves. stand ready to give
my best efforts to this purpose. Let's
organize and cooperate with the far
mers. We need them worse than they
need US. l can think of no one better
equipped to lead in this matter than
the editor of The Bulletin. Let's have
meeting and discuss the matter and
act.

ONE WHEATLESSS MEAL A DAY WILL
HELP WINTHE WAR AGAINST KAISER
By HERBERT HOOVER.

The strongest, cleanest, simplest
job connected with the war, one which
every man. woman and child in the
United States must tackle today, is
that of dividing our daily loaf of
bread with those nations in Europe
who for three years have been fighting
the battle for democracy.
This task makes a human appeal
which should make everyone anxious
to help Immediately.
Just look at the figures!
The largest crop of wheat that we
ever had was one billion bushels. Our
allies in Europe need one-half billion
bushels. The total crop in sight this
fall in the United States is about
67S,000,0OO bushels. That means a
short crop. There is shortage in
South America, and the wheat of Rus
sia, Australia and India cannot be
carried to Europe because ships are
too precious to make such long voy-
ages. We will need for our own bread
and seed 600,00O,000. That is if the
American loaf of bread is to be as
large and as white as it has been in
the past. This leaves us only seventy
eight million bushels to send to our
allies. Canada will have surplus of
about 200 900 900 bushels, but we must
do better than this.
They need 500 million bushels and
we will have 27S million bushels.
The only way to send them more is
to give from what we ordinarily keep
for use ourselves To do this we must
cut down our consumption of all
wheat bread by substituting other
that are just as good.
The government thru the food ad-
does not want any Amer
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-11

lean man, woman or child to go poor
ly nourished. 1t needs to keep its peo-
pie strong and healthy.
This can be done and wheat can be
saved simply by using less wheat flour
and more wheat flour substitutes. Use
rye bread, oatmeal bread, barley
bread. Mix small quantity of wheat
! flour with a larger quantity of corn
meal of which there is a great abund-
ance-and make thoroly nourishing
and satisfying wheat bread substitute
A baked potato eaten in place of
slice of all-wheat bread is another way
by which we can cut down our usual
consumption of wheat
None of these substitutes inflicts
any hardship or discomfort. They
taste just as good, are just as easily
digested and do not reduce the energy
supply needed for hard work.
What is more, they cost less and
provide a ready home solution of the
high cost of living.
Uncle Sam is making a great effort
to increase the crop of wheat next
year.
If we have little good weather, and
a little luck to back up the splendid
organization of farmers in some of the
Western wheat states, we may raise
more than billion bushels next year.
But even then it will be necessary
to economize because the worlds nor
NAL surplus of food has been exhaust
ed. and it may take several years to
build up this surplus when peace re-
turns.
These are the figures.
There is the bread plate.
Keep the pledge of one wheatless
meal day!

Editor The Denver Labor Bulletin:

Editor The Denver Labor Bulletin:
Events of worldwide Importance
significant in their every aspect -
transpire with such rapid succession
in this time that we are apt to over
look those things of local bearing that
promise to affect the labor movement
in this state. However much we may
feel that a question or act of national
magnitude concerns our interests or
meets our emotional inclinations as
part of the great worldwide labor
movement, the fact still remains that
we must attach the most supreme i'm
portance to those forces that imme-
diately affect the welfare of our unions
and thru them the personal welfare of
the worker.
The labor movement of Colorado is a
thing of splendid vitality. 1t has
passed thru trials SO severe in their
nature that were it less vigorously en-
dowed with inherent strength it would
have long since ceased to function.
The principal force used in opposition
to the labor movement in this state
has been that of the state itself. Wher-
ever labor has carried its fight to the
point of winning its battle the force
of the state has moved in one way or
another against it and brought about
defeat.
Labor has sought to participate in
the governing power with but indif-
ferent success, due, in my belief, to the
fact that it has delegated its strength
to politicians and, after election, has
been forced into the attitude of a sup
plant. The present governor and leg
islature is a splendid example of that
to which your readers attention is
called. With not one word of disap-
proval of labor's condemnation of the
unconstitutional industrial commission
act they accepted labor's support and,
after election, gave us a double-cross-
ing that will not soon be forgotten.
All this and much more that calls
for no mention leads to the purpose of
this communication.
There is a force now organizing in
the state of Colorado that holds forth
a promise to the labor movement of
actual participation in the state gov
eminent and, let US hope, also in that
of the national government. / refer
to the Non-Partisan Political League
which has achieved such splendid re-
suits in North Dakota and Minnesota.
This movement is the political express
sion of the economic needs of the

MILK PRICES BOOSTED.

An advance of cent quart, max
ing the price of milk 12ia cents in
New York, will cost the consumers
S7,30o,000 year, it is estimated.
SOME DON'TS OF ADVICE.
Don't send liquor advertising to n
prohibition state.
Don't send liquor advertising to ter
ritory dry by local option.
Don't ship liquor into a prohibition
state.
Don't ship liquor into dry territory
in wet state. You may get away
with it, but you run n great risk.
Remember the bone-dry and anti
liquor advertising law which went into
effect July 1.

WHEN FAILURE WINS
BY THE REV. CHARLES sTELzLE.

Apparent failure may really spell
success. Some years ago a genius
sent a raft of logs from Canada to
New York. This method of trans
porting logs was then unknown. When
near New York a great storm snapped
the cables which bound the logs and
they were scattered far and wide. The
chief of the hydrographic department
at Washington heard of the accident
and sent word TO shipmasters the
world over to watch out for the logs,
noting the latitude and longitude in
which they were discovered. Hundreds
of captains reported, with the result
that remarkable discoveries were made
as to the courses of ocean currents.
Joggins lost his raft but the world
gained new knowledge of marine geog-
raphy and navigation.
Perhaps your raft has been de-
stroyed. You had hoped great things
for it; but the logs are not lost. You
will find them scattered all thru your
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-11

life and perhaps in a time of storm
they will save you from shipwreck.
They have gone into the building up
of your character. Also and more i'm
portant still, they will save some other
fellow from disaster. Columbus failed
in finding back door to India, but he
discovered America. The Spanish
court could see in Columbus discovery
merely few Indian souvenirs, but to
the world it meant a vast continent.
When a man has honestly done his
best, he may have the consciousness
that no one can do better than his
best-not even the angels in heaven.
..The world is wide
In time and tide,
And, God is guide;
Then do not hurry.
That man is blest
Who does his best,
And, leaves the rest;
Then do not worry"

DULUTH TEACHERS GET RAISE.

The Duluth. Mimi, board of educa-
ton has raised the yearly salary of
about 100 teachers. This action was
taken after agitation had been carried
on for some time, resulting in public
sentiment demanding this action.
The Duluth Labor World supported
the teachers in their campaign for an
increase in pay, and, altho the raise
might have been larger and more
teachers benefited thereby, congratu-
lates the school board for its action,
and sincerely hopes that the future
may have in store other material ap-
probation for the services of the mem-
bers of this woefully underpaid pro-
fession.

Stubbs of Kansas Says
 Roads Are Making Money

Washington, June 5-Former Gov. w. R. Stubbs of Kansas told the interstate commerce commission today that the railroads of the United States have a billion dollars surplus, and that if an emergency exists now is the time for them to spend it.
 "1 believe this will be a banner year for the roads, without 15 per cent raise in freight rates" declared Mir. Stubbs the consumer and the producer would have to foot a $500 GOO aditional bill, if this advance were approved. With the public paying heavy war taxes, now is the time for the stockholders and bond
 holders of the carriers to do their bit : and not throw an added burden on the consumer.
 Protests of the nurserymen of the coun- try against the proposed increase were presented by F. w Kelsey and Orlando Harris, officers of the American Nursery mems association
 Clifford Thorne, counsel for the national shippers conference, told the commission that the net earnings of the carriers in 1917 would be less than in 1916 but con- tended that last year was a banner pe- riod in the financial history of the rail- roads.

 of the loan by as large a number of citizens as possible. MT. Sterne appealed
 to everyone to buy for four reasons,
 For your own sake, because united
 States bonds are the safest investment
 in the world; as a good citizen, because
 your government asks it; for humanity,
 because the money will go for the relief
 of those ground under the heel of militar-
 ism; for posterity, because we are fight ing this war to establish the principles of democracy against autocracy and free
