and December II, 1917, but in every
instance they refused to consider the
change of economic conditions, and re-
fused to sit down with US and fairly
face the facts that were so serious to
US. They only pointed to this agree
ment of May, 1915. and said. We are
going to hold you to it." We called
their attention to the fact that they
themselves had broken the agreement
in many instances: that their organi-
zation had fallen apart. and that they
were in the position of asking us to
remain parties to an agreement when
they themselves had seen fit to sep
arate themselves from the organiza-
tion that was the other party to the
agreement.
For example, n man by the name
of Willoughby drew apart from the
organization. They came to us and
said, Now that our member has drawn
apart from the organization we want
YOU to compel this member to go back
into the organization by refusing to
work for him. We called their atten-
ton to the fact that that act was prob
ably illegal. and would get our mem
bership in trouble, and they have ac-
tually brought suit in court to pre-
vent US lEhln "hGhlllE LOT one OF lnClr
own members who had drawn away
from their organization. So we are
in the position of being held to an
agreement that they themselves have
largely drawn away from. and they
are hailinC us into court and demand
ing that we keep their own organiza-
tion intact. Under such treatment
they finally made the situation so that
we have had to make up our minds to
fight.
I'VE have complied with the law and
notified the commission that we want
hearing. We believe that the COM
mission will give us prompt and
speedy hearing, and have every con-
fidcncc that the commission will see
the situation ms it is, and stand back
of us in the fight that has been forced
upon us for the right to live and to
receive enough to pay our bills. No
group of men have been more faithful
to their employers and have worked
harder to serve the interests of their
employers than we. We are sorry
that they will not consider us as hui
man beings and will not give us the
consideration that we believe our 10y

Denver Local No. 6s (inside men)
International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers, has filed written de-
mand for n wage increase approx
mating 80 per cent, effective January
Ia. a few days ago the contracting
electrical firms issued n statement in
the daily papers, claiming they had an
agreement with the union which does
not expire until next May.
Replying to this contention on part
OF the employers, the union has au-
thorized the following announcement:
Local Union No. 6S. |. b. f. W,
Electrical Workers, are the only body
of skilled workers that we know of
who have not received an increase of
wage since the time that the war was
begun. Our wages today are same as
they were in May, 1915. Throughout
the country, in all the crafts, there
has been an increase of wage to meet
the increased cost of living conditions.
This everyone knows, and everyone
recognizes to be fair and equitable.
"Our organization stands out as the
one exception in the city of Denver.
and one of the very few exceptions in
the entire country. This has resulted
from two reasons: One is that we en-
tered INTO an agreement IN may, 1910,
with the master electricians, and the
other is that ms an organization it has
been our policy to adjust differences
amicably, and by conciliation. rather
than by strikes. The agreement. how
ever, that was entered into in May of
1915. was entered into at time of
peace and when living and economic
conditions We're entirely different than
they are today. There have been
thousands of such agreements modi-
fled voluntarily by the employers, be
cause of the change of conditions.
"Thc public, perhaps, does not ap-
prcciate that when workingman is
working at low wage. il his wages
remain the same, and living condi-
tions increase, he is almost up against
n condition of starvation. For eX-
ample, our first year helpers get
1.50; our second year helpers get 50.
Now. think of these men trying to
live today and in many instances sup
porting family, upon Sl.50 day.
Following our policy to negotiate
these matters and particularly at this
time when our country is engaged in
n war, not desiring to cause any dis

ferenccs with our employers on No

Cigarn7okers
(By ]. w. Sanford.D


Saturday, December %, from u to
p. m. will be our election for local
officers at our office, pol Railroad
building. A 50-cent fine is provided
for all members that fail to vote.
Information received this week
from the president of the Boston union
is to the effect that there are 1000
cigarmakers on strike. Indications
are that it will not be of long dura-
ton. A slight advance in their scale
is all that is involved as other condi-
ditions We're adjusted last spring.
Communication from our old friend,
Sol Sontheimer, general organizer for
the international Union. dated Pueblo,
state that general conditions in labor
circles are not up to the Denver
standard, but improvement is looked
for after the first of the year.
The Bulletin deserves special COM
ment for the complete in every detail
Christmas edition put out last week.
The advertising and labor news fea-
lures were certainly up to date in
every particular.
About the first of the year there
will appear very neat calendar call

which is a special design made up for

tion the home industry feature is also
exemplified. This should not be over
looked by our manufacturers and mer-
chants when in need of advertising
matter.
Charles F. Ham, erstwhile cigar
maker but now close second for the
shoes of John D. in the oil business. is
down on a hurry trip from Lander,
Wyo., getting his interests in shape
for the oil boom which he says will hit
US early next spring. Ham has long
range vision in this line and has made
some exact predictions in the recent
past. He has always got a "tip" for
his friends.
The prohibition forces are gradually
closing in on US, as evidenced by the
United States Senate substantial ma
iority vote this week on the matter.
We will have to console ourselves bv
applying the old saying That which
can't be cured must be endured" and
cultivate our tastes for something
else. Prohibition has been an advan-
tage TO the non-union cigar manufac-
turers. Eventually we may come in

Our manufacturers agree that there
has been an increased demand for
label goods lately. This no doubt is
due to the cooperating demand being
made by union men for union-made
cigars. Pass this principle along to
include all label goods. This is to our
mutual advantage.
