TWO DELEGATE MEETINGS OF MINERS
BEING HELD IN COLORADO THIS WEEK
Pueblo Convention of
the District Charter and Local Autonomy; Denver
Meeting Declares Against Strike Until the
World Is

A convention of district delegates
from about thirty local unions of min
ers is being held in the Labor Temple,
to have the charter of District Is re-
stored and autonomy of the members
assured. Up to hour of going to press
the program of the protesting dele
gates had not been announced.
1t should be understood, however,
that this meeting is not for the pur-
pose of organizing a dual union in the
district. as has been stated by those
opposed to having the charter restored
One of the first acts of the conven-
ton, in order to set itself right, was
to repudiate what is known as the
'Jariine resolution" sent out few
weeks ago, which proposed to give the
international officers "only two hours"
to restore the charter.
The action of the Pueblo meeting on
this matter was rs follows:
Resolved. That we, the delegates
assembled at the special convention
held in the Pueblo Labor Temple on
October 15, 1917, hereby repudiate
the so-called Jardine resolution pub
lished in The Denver Labor Bulletin,
September %, except the call for said
special convention. Said call having
been published in The Labor Bulletin
October Is, 1917.

ARIZONA MINERS
JOIN A. F. L. UNION
BODY OF FIVE THOUSAND
AFFILIATE AT ONCE.
Copper Strikers Determined to Put
Responsibility for Violence Upon
1ntermeddling Agents of the
Big Copper Companies.
By JOHN MURRAY.

CLIFTON, Ariz., Oct. 15.-In three
great mass meetings, one held in
Clifton, another in Morenci, and the
third held on the bare hillside at Met
calf, at which place the Arizona Cop
per company, owned by the Phelps
Dodge interests, has refused to rent
ground to the Miners Union on which
to build hall, Unions Nos l, 2 and 8
of this district voted practically unani-
mously in favor of joining the Inter-
national Union of Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers, affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor.
This means that a solid body of
five thousand practical miners in this
district will unite with their broth
ers in the camps at Globe, Miami and
other places where there are locals
affiliated with the International Union
of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers
thruout Arizona, on one common de-
n1and upon the copper companies for
union wages and conditions.
Find Work Simplified.
The Presidents commission, when
it arrives in Clifton, will find its work
much simpliied by this unity among
the miners. 1t is now merely a ques-
ton of whether the owners of copper
mines in Arizona will, or will not, i'm
mediately resume the production of
copper, of which the government of
the United States is now in dire need.
Never was a strike in Arizona car
ried on with such determination on
the part of the strikers to keep the
peace and put the responsibility for
all violence upon the agents of the
copper companies. Every mine is
of the companies to obtain strike
breakers have resulted in complete
failure.
Mexican labor leaders in this dis
trict are confident that this direct affil-
iation with the American Federation
of Labor will mean the complete or
ganization of all the Mexican miners
| in Arizona, numbering over $4,000.
A mass of evidence relating to il
legal acts committed by the compan-
les is being gathered by union COM
mittees in the three. camps and will be
presented by witnesses to the Presi-
dents commission upon its arrival.
Dramatic Mass Meeting.
The great mass meeting of the
miners at Metcalf was most dramatic
in its action and scenery. The red
rocked hillside was spotted with the
white dresses of the miners wives,
sitting beside their husbands in blue
overalls. Three hours of debate took
place before the final vote was taken,
with the aid of fiashlight TO show the
affirmative vote Displayed by forest
of upheld hands. Everyone spoke in
Spanish. even those whose vocabu-
laries in the Latin tongue depended
more upon good intentions than any
thing else. The motive of the meeting
was plainly international. the entire
assembly realizing that as this district
takes its stand so will stand the great
mass of Mexican workers along the
entire border.
Do you realize that there are over
two million MeSicans in the United
States, and that the great majority
of these are wageworkers

THREE MEN KILLED IN MOST UNIQUE
ACCIDENT IN COLORADO RAILROADING
Fireman and Head Brakeman Santa Fe Freight Engine
Lose Lives When Boiler Explodes While Two Are
Seriously Injured in Another Engine Stand
ing On Siding Nearby

The train was sidetracked to allow
engine No. 639, running light from
Palmer Lake to Denver, to pass. Just
as the light engine passed the live
stock and fruit train engine exploded.
Debris from the wrecked cab and boiler
was blown into the cab of the light
engine, injuring Herkneck and Bell
The engineer on the light engine was
out oiling his locomotive and thus es-
capped injury.
Klank was instantly killed, his body
being found 500 feet from the wreck.
Root also was instantly killed, his
body being hurled back into the ten
der and mashed against a heap of
coal Nothing but the trucks of the
locomotive were left on the track. The
wrecking train engine sent from Dem
YER pulled the fruit train to Colorado
SPRINGS. The dead and injured were
brought to Denver.
Investigation Is Begun.
The state public utilities commission
is making an investigation as to the
cause of the wreck.
When the engine exploded, the sta
tion at Orso rocked as If shaken by
an earthquake. the windows were
blown in and pieces of metal crashed
thru the building. The three operators
at the station and the crew of the ex-
ira engine took up the search for the
engine crew and the missing brake
man.
The shirt Of Fireman Root was
found hanging to telegraph wire 100

ORGANIZES NEW UNION
THEN ACTS AS ARBITER

Organizing a union which con-
Quoted a successful strike and then
being selected as neutral member
of an arbitration board is the unique
experience of A. F. of L. Organ
izer James Leonard.
The workers are employed in a
syrup factory at Marrero, Louis
lana. After they We're organized
by Leonard they suspended work to
enforce better conditions, and in
few days secured complete vic
tory, including recognition of their
union. On the wage question it
was agreed that the unions repre-
sentative and the superintendent
adjust rates to the standard pre-
vailing in similar plants in that
locality.
In case of disagreement be-
tween these two it was agreed that
the man who organized the union
should make the final award.

Denver's Liberty Loan campaign
started off in a huzzah of patriotic
fervor Monday night with a rally of
$50 workers in the cathedral room of
the Albany hotel. Former Congress
man Claud Weaver of Oklahoma made
the principal address and created tu-
multuous enthusiasm by his homespun
eloquence. Beginning Tuesday noon
meetings have been held each day in
the Albany hotel, at which time the
workers report the amounts subscribed.
The whirlwind campaign will end in
Denver next Wednesday, which is Lib
erty Loan day thruout the nation by
proclamation of President Wilson and
the state governors. BY that time it
is hoped the second liberty loan of
SO 900 100000 for the nation will have
been oversubscribed.
McAdoo n Denver Booster
Secretary Of the Treasury William
G. McAdoo spoke at the MONDAY
meeting of workers Friday and later
delivered an address in the Auditorium
at o'clock, attended by great throng
of enthusiastic citizens. The secretary
was given an ovation at both meet
ings and aroused his hearers to a
high pitch of patriotism, which ought
TO open their purses wider to make
needed subscriptions during closing
DAYS of the campaign.
Up TO Thursday noon. covering three
days of the campaign the total sub
scriptions in Denver amounted to
1929 $50. little over one-third Of
the quota. The number of those con-
tributing was 5,5s5. Every man,
woman and child who can subscribe
for bond. $50 and upwards, is urged
to do so during the remaining period
Of the campaign. 1t is just like swap
ping dollars with interest added, for
the government bonds are the best
security on earth
How to Secure a Bond.
Savings banks will afford wage
earners who subscribe TO pay for bonds
in installments-S5 a month for $50
bond. $40 month for 500 bond,
and so on. Thousands of working
people have subscribed, and thou
sands more will do likewise.
The union labor committee of the
Denver Liberty Loan Campaign Com
mittee has been working hard and en-
Enthusiastically. visiting from four to
eight labor organizations each night,
and placing the Liberty Loan PROPOSE
ton before the members. In most in
stances the response has been prompt
and many others will no doubt sub
scribe before the campaign closes.
Carpenters Set the Pace

labor subscription off in fine style last
