CONTEST is FILED
kENEHAN DEMANDS RECOUNT
OF VOTE FOR CITY AUDITOR.
Clerks and Election Judges Juggled
Ballots in Interest of the Bi-Par-
tisan Machine Candidate.

Roady kenehan has filed a contest
against F. D. Stackhouse for a recount
of votes cast for city auditor in the
recent municipal election. On face of
the returns Stackhouse was elected by
a plurality of los votes. Kenehan de-
clares that recount will show that he
received at least $500 more votes than
Stackhouse.
While the contest is filed against
Stackhouse, in reality the recount is
demanded in order to show the fraud
and manipulation Of the bipartisan
machine. which tried to elect Clem
Crowley.
Kenehan charges that clerks and
election judges in many precincts COM
mitted serious mistakes and were
guilty of mal-conduct, fraud and cor
ruption in counting and tallying the
votes cast. He charges that in some
precincts the judges called the names
of other candidates, instead of his.
placed tally marks to which he was
entitled against the names of other
candidates, robbing him of votes more
than enough to give him the office.
kenehan also charges that in Pre-
cinct of District E the judges openly
solicited votes for Stackhouse.

STEPHEN KNIGHT, HEAD OF THE DENVER BREAD TRUST,
PREVENTS SETTLEMENT OF BAKERY WORKERS STRIKE

This is the eighteenth day of the
strike inaugurated by Bakery Workers
Union No. 26 against the three leading
bake shops Of Denver to secure recog-
milton of the union, signed contract
for wage scales and improved working
conditions. There has not been a sin
gle break in the solid lines of the
strikers, and there will be none. Each
of the seventy men out is drawing SO
per week strike benefits, s6 paid by
the international and SO from the local
treasury. These payments, with ad-
ditional assistance from other unions,
will continue until the strike is won.
A conference was held Thursday af-
ternoon in the Office of George A.
Levy, city industrial commissioner, be-
tween managers of the three bake
shops involved and representatives of
the union. II is believed that a set
tlement would have been reached and
a contract signed had it not been for
the obstinacy of Stephen Knight, who
declared: 81 will not sign a contract
recognizing a union so long as there
remains breath in my body"
Managers Willing to Quit.
Managers of the concerns were will
ing to concede all the demands of the
union, including signed contract, but

former vice president of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor and for several terms
a delegate to the Denver Trades and
Labor Assembly, was taken seriously
i'll few months ago and confined to

cut off and the small savings soon ex-
hausted for doctor bills. A few weeks
ago members of her union raised a
sufficient sum to send Miss Simmons
back to her old family home in Dodge
City. Kansas.
This matter was brought to the at
tention of the Denver Trades and La
Dor Assembly and at the regular meet

Before the conference adjourned
Stephen Knight announced that the
three struck shops would open for bus
iness Friday morning. This is be-
lieved to be the last move of the en-
ployers to defeat the union, hoping
some of the strikers would return to
work. Friday morning when the roll
was called at union headquarters, 17l5

office of the secretary-treasurer in
Denver Indicate that every local union
of journeymen BARRIERS in the state
will be represented. which with the
officers and journeyman member Of
the state board Of barber examiners
will consist Of about twenty-onc dele
gates
This association was organized in
Colorado Springs in September. 1914,
and was one Of the first crafts 70 form
state organization Organized pri-
marily for the purpose Of securing
legislation beneficial TO that craft. II
has been very successful in advancing
the interests Of the BARRIERS both in
legislation and in securing nearly a

ment Of this convention for reappoint-

three years has been very satisfactory
TO the employers and journeymer
alike.
The reports which will be submit
ted by the delegates will show that
there has been greater gains among
the BARRIERS during the past year. both
in membership and increases in wages
and prices. than for several years pre-
vious. A majority of the locals will
show some improvement, Denver per.
haps the greatest in increased mem
bership and improved conditions. as
they have made wonderful strides in
the last few months. Pueblo will be
able to report the best scale and con-
ditions. The reports will show that
the conditions of the barber business
in Colorado are at n par or above those

remain out until contract was signed
recognizing the union.
Try to Borrow .Scabs."
There are no idle bakers in the coun-
try and it will be impossible for the
three Denver concerns to operate un-
less "scabs" are loaned them by other
non-union shops thruout the country.
Certainly the people of Denver are
not going to stand for this and permit
Denver citizens to be deprived of a
livelihood just because one man says
he will not recognize the right of his
employees to join the union.
Not only is this declaration a viola
ton of the Colorado law, but is for
eign to present day reason and busi-
ness sense. OF course there is pos
sibility that Stephen knight will
change his mind and recognize the
union, as he changed his mind since
the beginning of the strike and met
with a committee of the union.
Housewives Baking Bread.
In the meantime smaller bake shops
and restaurants are supplying Denver
citizens with bread, many housewives
have cultivated the habit of baking
their own bread, and if the Macklem,
Old Homestead and Campbell-Sell bak-
ing companies expect to continue bus
iness in this city they will write con-
tract with Denver Bakery and Con-
fectionery Workers Local Union No.

appropriate sufficient funds TO even
pay the rent of the state free employ
ment bureau on the slope. despite the
effective work they are doing in Dem
yer, Colorado Springs and Pueblo un-
der Secretary holland and Commits
sioner Morrissey, but this did not deter
holland from arranging to give the
Western slope what it was entitled to.
and he is going to economiZe in other
directions and open the bureau. Logs

is to be open at least three months
this year.
The naming of Logsdon completes
the list of appointments in the state
labor bureau, and Secretary holland
and Commissioner Morrissey have
more than made good their promise
that organized labor would be better
represented in the labor bureau than
at any time since the department was
created by Legislative enactment.
