resolutions:
"At regular meeting of Lodge No.

the patriotic action of our landlord,
Mr.. Charles H. Howe, in refusing to

branded as Huns in Disguise to hold
their traitorous meeting on his prem

a vote of thanks to Mr.. Howe for his
example of typical Americanism.
"And, also, we desire to recommend

believe that by such action on their
part, great deal of good would re-

The October report of W. L. Nor.

The October report of W. L. Nor
rissey. State Labor Commissioner,
shows that the state free employment
bureaus are doing splendid work,
During the month 59S more jobs
were secured free of cost to the work
ers than during October, 1916. There
were 55l more applications for work
and l,199 more applications for help.
The latter figures show the interest
employers have taken in the work of
the free employment offices. Some of
the largest employers in the state now
deal exclusively with the state .bu-
reaus. They usually obtain reliable
men and prefer them to the floater.
The Pueblo free employment office
led in the number of jobs secured
with 6S4. Denver No. ?, John Hen
messy, superintendent, was n close sec
ond with go. The Grand Junction
office secured jobs for SIG workers
and really saved the fruit situation
on the Western Slope. The figures
show gain of It's over the Grand

Fifty members of the recently or
ganized Bushclmcn Tailors' Union re-
turned to work Tuesday morning in
fifteen clothing stores after the mer-
chants had agreed to the wage de-
mands, amounting TO from 50 to s5
per week, price and half for over
time. and double price for Sundays and
holidays. Saturday night work is to
be eliminated and standard hours of
employment prevail. Shop commit
tees are TO regulate any differences
which may arise, and see TO it that any
new employe becomes a member of the
union.
In view of these concessions the
strike committee agreed to waive a
written recognition of the union
against which some of the merchants
protested so strongly.
Labor Commissioner w. L. Morris
sey and City Industrial Commissioner
George A. Levy and n committee of
three from the union visited the stores
affected Monday and reached this
agreement.
At joint meeting of the three Den

night, of Denver Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen's Union No. 634.
At proper place in the routine
proceedings President Walter Chap
pini sounded the gavel for special at
tention. William C. Thornton, former
president of the Denver Trades and
Labor Assembly, who had been espe-
cIally invited TO attend, thought he was
going to be called upon for one of his
forensic efforts. Instead Recording
Secretary n. A. Hoffman took the
floor and proceeded to eulogize the
guest of honor and recite the appreci-
alton felt by the meat cutters for his
successful efforts as a conciliator and
wage negotiator, whereby members of
the union recently gained a raise of
81 per week, the scale being boosted
from SIS to s25, and one hour chop
ped off each days work.
When the speaker had reached his
peroration, Brother Thornton was es-
corted forward and presented with a
handsome y L-karat diamond scarfpin
as a token of appreciation for work
well and faithfully performed.
1t would be trite to say that Thorn
ton was confused with emotion, but
he is too practical to be emotional.
Nevertheless there was evidence of
surprise as he paused for fitting
words to express his thanks for this
unexpected and unusual expression of
good will. Then the gifted giftee
made a real speech, garnished with
wit and levity, but serious enough at
times to impress the brotherly thought
that surrounds an occasion so rare in
the annals of Denver labor unions.

 Leader Is Enthusiastic.
 Miss Miller is most enthusiastic over the prospects fo, an early and complete victory for the suffrage clause, and has the happy faculty of passing that optimism and enthusiasm on to those with whom she discussed the subject.
 "We women now control 91 cleo toral votes", she said. through the states which have already granted US the right of suffrage. Only two or three days ago bill giving us the right passed both houses of theNorth Dakota legislature, and is now await ing the signature of the governor. Our reports are that it is certainty Gov ernor Frazer will sign the bill, and this will give five more electoral votes or a total of 96, from states where women vote.
 Tennessee has a bill pending anl because Governor Rye is strongly in favor of it, I feel donfident it will pass. In fact it seems now that Ten nessee will be the first Southern state to grant the right of suffrage to women. The cumulative events of the past year have done more than anything else to contribute to the general result Suffrage has been removed at last from the realm Of causes, and the least astute politician realizes that the women of the nation are now able to make a political de- mand which must be ht.eded."
