LABOR SCORCHES
HELEN GRENFELL
PROTEST HER APPOINT
MENT ON STATE BOARD.
Resolution Adopted by Trades Assem-
bly, Reciting the History of Her
Employment by Coal Operators
During Strike in Colorado.

Scorching condemnation of Mrs.
Helen Grenfell, named last week by
Governor Gunter as member of the
state board of charities and correc-
tions, was uttered by delegates and
thru resolutions at the regular meet
ing of the Denver Trades and Labor
Assembly last Sunday. Protest was
entered against her confirmation by
the senate and reasons given why she
should not be honored with a state
appointment of any kind
The resolutions adopted tell the
story and are as follows:
at has come to our knowledge that
Governor Gunter has appointed Mrs.
Helen Grenfell as q member of the
state board of charities and correc-
ton, her name now being before the
senate for confirmation. II is regret
able indeed that the governor, with
the names of several applicants before
him for the position, should have Sc
lected the one name that cannot be
mentioned without recalling the most
lamentable episode that ever tarnished
the fair name of our state-the Lud-
low massacre.
LAS 1t will be readily remembered,
it was Mrs. Grenfell, who, after the
Ludlow horror sought the distinction
of being the only woman in the state
to show her emnity toward the union
coal miners by apologizing for the
cruel, brutal crime committed at the
instigation of the coal corporations.
ut were to be hoped that memories
of such deeds as that committed at
Ludlow in the month Of April, 1914,
would have been allowed to fade away
from the minds of the people, rather
than be kept vividly before them bv
giving prominence to one who figured
so conspicuously as an apologist for
those at whose doors the guilt has
been placed.
Believing, therefore, that a person
so stepped in class prejudice as Mrs.
Grenfell has shown herself to be is
not the right person 20 serve on the
said board of correcton-aside from
her emnity toward organized labor
be it
Resolved, By the Denver Trades
and Labor Assembly, That we are un-
alterably opposed TO Mrs. Grenfell be-
coming member OF said board: and
that we urge each and every member
of the Colorado senate who may have
the least kindly or friendly feeling
toward organized labor or a desire to
obllterate unpleasant memories in the
interest of harmony among the diff
ferent classes to oppose the confirma-
tion of her appointment"
A copy of the above declaration was
ordered sent under seal of the As
sembly to Governor Gunter, Iieuten-
ant Governor Pulliam, president of the
senate, and to Speaker Boon Best of
the house.

concerning 10000 pumped" votes
cast in Pennsylvania districts is de-
cided upon. He claims the officers of
number of unions cast the vote of

individual members voting their own

10000 Of these votes cast for Brother

SENATE FAvoRS PENSION BILL.
Committee Reports Half Pay to Fed
eral Employees After 20 Years.

A retirement bill under which civil
service employees would pay dues of
not more than per cent of their sal
aries and would retire at seventy on
half pay was favorably reported Mon
day by the senate civil service commit
tee. For the first fifty years the gov
ernment would subsidize the retire
ment fund and at the end of that pc
riod it would be self-supporting
Pensions would be limited to a max
imum of 5000 year.
For the first year the system would
cost the government S2,75O,o00. The
annual cost would increase to about
$500 during the first twenty-five
years, and then would begin to de-
crease. The committees report says
that of the 250,000 persons in the
civil service, 5000 are past seventy
years of age.

CHOOSING YOUR PRINTER.

Charles II. Boden OF the Franklin
Printing company of Philadelphia, told
the Association of National Adyer-
tisers at the Philadelphia convention
that selecting printer was a good
deal like employing an advertising
manager. and that price cannot be
considered alone if the best results
are sought. In part he said:
Employ your printer with the same
thoughts in mind that your board of
directors used when they employed
you-if they had got out set of
specifications asking for bids on YOUR
job, and turned them over to pur-
chasing department, to employ the
lowest bidder, none of you gentlemen
would have secured his present job,
and there probably would have been
as great variation in bids submitted
as there is on printing estimates, and
every bidder would have guaranteed
better results than you are now pro-
ducing.
How many of you consider price
alone when you employ professional
talent? You expect the more expert
TO charge more for their service be-
cause they render more efficient sery-
ice-and present time advertising and
service printing is very close to n
profession.
You certainly know that quality,
service and price never yet won in n
relay. Quality and service might be
well ahead. but price always throws
them down in the stretch"

BUY UNION TOBACCO.
Denver, Feb. -, 1917.
To the Officers and Members of Or
rarize1 ahor Greetiprs.

To the Officers and Members of Or
ganized Labor, Greetings:
Recently the attention of the Union
Label League No, has been directed
to the liberal offer of the Pure Gold
Tobacco company.
This tobacco company has agreed to
give to the Labor Temple fund one
half cent for every tag taken from a
sack of Pure Gold tobacco and depos-
tied in one of the many boxes placed
in the various cigar stores about the
city. You are not merely buying the
label. but getting the best smoking
tobacco manufactured. Remember
l25,Oo0 tags mean S625 for the Labor
Temple.
The Label League firmly believes
that this tobacco company deserves
the support of all union men, and with
this view in mind has designated that
Saturday of each week be known as
Pure Gold Day" and every union man
is urged to purchase one bag of Pure
Gold on Saturday of each week and
deposit the tag in the yellow box at
your cigar store or union headouar-
ters. And by doing this union men
will not only be helping build Labor
Temple but will be supporting to-
bacco factory whose owners are more
than fair to union labor.
Did you ever hear of the American
Tobacco company, manufacturers of
that well known scab tobacco. Bull
Durham, making such an offer? Yet
there is more Bull Durham sold than
any other granulated tobacco on the
market, and union men are found
smoking this brand every day.
Think this matter over, brothers,
and buy at least one sack of Pure Gold
n week. With best wishes for the con-
tinued success of your local union, we
are yours for greater demand for
all union made articles.

HE IS ONLY A PRINTER
Century Magazine.

He is only printer" Such was
the sneering remark of leader in a
circle of aristocracy-codfish quality
Who was the Earl of Stanhope? He
was only a printer. What were Prince
Edward William and Prince Napoleon?
Proud TO call themselves printers. The
car of Russia, the crown prince of
Russia and the Duke of Battenberg
were printers, and the emperor of
China worked in a private printing
office almost every day. William Cax-
ton, the father of English literature,
was a practical printer. What were
J. P. Morris, n. P. Willis, James Par
ker, Horace Greeley, Charles Dickens,
Benjamin Franklin, James Buchanan,
simon Cameron, Schuyler Colfax?
Printers all, and practical ones. Mark
Twain, Amos ]. Cummings, Bret
Harte, William Dean Howells, Joel
Chandler Harris and Opie Read were
plain, practical printers, as were Ar
temus Ward, Petroleum v Nasby and
Sut Lovingood, Senator Plumb of
Kansas, and James J. Hogg, ex-gov-
ernor of Texas, were both printers,
and the leader of science and phiIos-
ophy IN his day made it his boast that
he was Jour" printer. In fact,
thousands of the most brilliant minds
IN this country are to be found in
large cities and towns. 1t is not every
one that can be printer-brains are
absolutely necessary.

CAN OPPORTUNITY BE TAUGHT OR IS
1T SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENS?

Griffiths soon saw that civics was not
what ! was looking for, so she took
me into another room where a large
class was being taught what opportu-
nifty means.
The teacher of that class wrote on
the board: Opportunity equals pre-
paredness. plus occasion" And then
he urged us to learn lot of things
so that we would be prepared for the
occasion, which. he said, was bound to
occur. When he said that / looked
around at the class toSsee how they
would take it As most of them were
young people. they seemed to believe
it, but when / made my report to the
unemployed they knew verv well that
the teacher was mistaken. They know
that all natural resources that have
any value, are now monopolized and
therefore that opportunities to work
do not often occur" no matter how
well we may be prepared for them.
They know too, that the best way to
free the land-that is, to free the only
opportunity to work that nature pro-
vides, is to shift all taxes onto land
values. They think that any opportu-
nifty school TO be deserving of the
name, should teach our boys and girls
how great is the need for opening UP
natural opportunities by this sensible
use of the taxing power and how easy
II will be to use the taxing power. in
that way. They know very well that
unless the opportunity school teaches
truth of that kind, the good work it
is now doing will have the same effect
that was brought about by improved
machinery and other things that make
labor more productive. That is, its
good work will simply increase the
price OF land and tighten competition
in the labor market.
