It was not very long ago that Great
Britain. which was the first to develop
capitalism, ranked as the richest nation
in the world Every Englishman that
travelled abroad with bag and an eye
glass was an English lord, who could
buy anything from an Indian relic to a
controlling interest in a railway. It's
different now. The English lord has to
take a back seat for the American mill
lionaire. There are only 4,l43 persons
in Great Britain who pay an income tax
on incomes of $4,000 or more. In Amer
lea there are l5,4l6 persons who have
incomes of $4,000 or more that are
taxed The income tax collector in the
United States may miss quite few mil
lionaires.

a publication called "Labor's Voice"
which espoused the cause of the drys
among the trade unonists
This action by the drys so angered the
controlling powers OF the central body
that caused the action to demand that
all delegates TO the Detroit Federation
of Labor who were members of the dry
league be withdrawn Immediately by
their respective unions. Failure to com
ply with that request would mean the
suspension of the entire organization
from the central body" This action was
taken two weeks prior to the election.
Because of replies from three unions at
the next meeting refusing to comply
with the request the following week, n
motion was carried to lay the replies on
the table until all the unions affected
be heard from, which would be after
election. The result of the election was
such a blow to the controlling powers
that they failed to put in an appearance
at the next meeting. In order to pre-
vent the disruption of the Detroit cen
tral body it was decided at that meet
ing that all matters pertaining to the
withdrawal of delegates and suspending
of organizations be laid on the table in
definitely. Detroit Typographical Union
No. lS voted that they would not comply
with demand That was the windup OF
the bitterest fight the Detroit Fedora
tion ever experienced.
Trusting that this statement will aid
you in informing the readers of The
Denver Labor Bulletin of the final out
come of this matter.
With best wishes, remain,

she was working and, choosing book,
offered it to the applicant, saying, Per

They are telling, in Kansas, of a man
who had the editor of the local paper
write description of his farm to be
used in the form of "For Sale" adver-

struck with the merits of his property
that he decided not to sell it at any
price. If this is 30, it seems clear that
