VOL. XII
Cigarnakers
CBy J. w. ssnford.D

There are two kinds of Denver made
cigars for you to select from now, the
ones that are made by fairly paid la
Dor and those that are not. However,
the latter are not as popular as the
manufacturers would like them to be
and their.output is very limited. Look
for the blue label of the Cigarmakers
International Union on the box when
purchasing your smokes.
A W Roberts left this week for the
North and will no doubt locate fac
tory in the first town that offers any
inducements.
The disturbed conditions in the labor
market in the Southwest and North
west is affecting the cigar industry to
some extent and slight falling off is
noticeable in our line but with the
holiday season coming on renewed ac-
tivity will no doubt start in soon.
Joe Olisar came into our Office a day
or so ago and told some remarkable
fish stories without producing any evil
dence, however, but we will take Joe's
word for it this time. In addition he
saws that he got enough wild plums
and choke cherries to last him all win
ter.
Herman Schmidt is busy this week
securing the markets for cucumbers
and cabbage which he intends convert
ing into pickels and sauerkraut. Her
man ACQUIRED a taste for this class of
food in St Louis, his former home.
Puritan Bond, Copyright, Ranger,
Best Value, Queen City Winners and
High Altitude cigars are not made by
n'er0bers of our union, which accounts
for the absence of the union label on
these cigars.
Herb Bean writes us from Rapid
CITY that he is there for the winter and
will come back in the spring with a
stake that will make a millionaire
envious.
A post card folder, views of Oak
land. Cal, the compliments of our
old friend, f. J. McTaggart, came to
hand this week. Mack reports trade
good out his way but would like to
take another look at Denver before
it's no use. Mack tells a good story,
but lack of space prevents us from re-
lating it in full so we will have to
omit it altogether.
When making those purchases of
fall wearing apparel don't overlook
the most important part, the union
label. 1t makes them fit union man
better.

AS THE GERMANS SEE US.

An official who has scrutinized the
reports made by German diplomatic
representatives to their government
before the declaration of war fur
nishes this extract from one of them
"The Americans are very rough. If
YOU call one of them liar he does
not argue the matter after the man
ner of a German gentleman, but bru-
tally knocks you down. The Ameri-
cans have absolutely no Kultur. =

Iron Moulders

At the annual convention of the
International Iron Molders Union, held
in Rochester, N. Y, last week, the
| following resolutions relating to Tom
Mooney were unanimously adopted
Whereas, Thomas j. Mooney was
found guilty of murder in connection
with the San Francisco preparedness
parade bomb explosion, and was SEN
fenced to be hung; and
Whereas, The principal witness, c.
Oxman, has been publicly convicted of
timony to support the evidence which
he gave during the trial; and
Whereas, The supreme court of
California has based its denial for a
new trial for T. J. Mooney on the
consent of State Attorney General
u. S. Webb for reversal of judgment
instead of error in the record, and the
revelations of attempted subornation
of perjury since the trial; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That it is the opinion of
the delegates attending this conven-
ton that the circumstances connected
with the trial of T. J. Mooney were
such as to create a justification for
the belief that the accused was con-
victed under circumstances which make
it mandatory that the accused shall be
given new trial in order that jury
may pass upon evidence submitted
by witnesses whose character is above
suspicion, and around whom there
hangs no cloud of past viciousness,
depravity and subornation of perjury.
The records of the case as given to
the public are such as to raise the
gravest doubt as to the character of
many of the witnesses who testified at
the trial; and be it further
"Resolved, That the delegates to
this convention, in the name of JUS
tice, urgently request the judicial au-
thorities and the public officials of
California to take the necessary steps
to provide that Thomas j. Mooney
shall be given new trial, and that
we furthermore express our emphatic
opinion that unless such new trial is
given there must remain the opinion
that the accused was convicted thru
testimony which branded some of the
witnesses as perjurers who were will
ing to convict another human being of
murder for such reward as might be
given for their perjured testimony"

NINE EMPLOYERS FAIL TO PAY.
Wage Claims Filed With Labor Com
missioner for S11, 900.

A wage claim for S11 900 was filed
this week by forty-five miners, en-
ployed by the McDonough Mining COM

Morrissey.
The men allege that they have not

number of Eastern capitalists.
Some steps are to be taken to pro-

Terrence dropped his spade in aston
ishment and ran into the kitchen.
Sure, ye're only kiddin' me-" he said.
