LABORERS AND TRANSFERS NEED YOUR
HELP AT THE POLLS NEXT TUESDAY
Charter Amendments No and No and

in the City of Denver.

Members of organized labor, their
families and friends should go to the
polls next Tuesday and vote for char
ter amendment No. on the ballot and
against charter amendment No. 2.
More than 500 city laborers employed
in the street and park department and
400 members of the team owners un-
ion will benefit by this recommenda-
tion if adopted. Every member of
organized labor who can spare the
time is urged to do volunteer work for
this amendment at the polls next
Tuesday.
Charter amendment No. 5 was ini-
tiated and placed on the ballot thru
the efforts of United Laborers Union
and Team Owners Union, assisted by
the Denver Trades and Labor Assem-
bly,. This was done after the city
council had refused to increase the
wage schedule for municipal employees
in these departments. The proposed
amendment increases the wage of la
borers from $3.50 to SO per day and
teamsters from So to SO per day. This
is only meagre justice in view of the
ascending cost of living. City team
sters base their claims for an increase
largely upon the fact that hay has
risen during the last year from Sl4.5O
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-05-12

to s34 per ton, barley from s1.65 to
S2.75 per hundred, and oats from s1.80
to $3.50. This amendment further
provides that the state humane law in
reference to overlooking of teams be
strictly applied in Denver.
1t is just as important to vote
against amendment No. as it is to
vote for amendment No. 5. Should
No. 2, sponsored by Mayor Speer and
the city council, receive a higher vote
it would merely place the matter OF
wages back in the hands of the coun-
Gil, which body already has power to
fix wages for the city employees, except
firemen and policemen. 1t would un-
questionably mean defeat of the effort
being made to increase wages for city
laborers and teamsters as well as
firemen and policemen, therefore we
again urge you to VOTE FOR
NO. . AND AGAINST
NO. 2.
The campaign in behalf Of this
amendment has been effectively con-

Denver Labor Bulletin.)
WASHINGTON, May 1.-Two la
Dor members of the British house of
commons and a representative of the
labor party on the munitions board
of Great Britain arrived in Washing
ton Saturday to advise the American
Federation of Labor and the railroad
brotherhoods during the opening period
of the war. The members of parlia-
ment are c. W. Bowerman, secretary
of the British Trade Union Congress,
and member of the Printers and
Compositors Union, and James Thorn
as, an official of the Engineers Union.
Bowerman is conservative. while
men are judged in the British labor
movement. Both are members of the
parliamentary committee of the La
Dor party. The third member of the
delegation is II. w. Garrod, who will
advise with respect particularly to
the labor conditions in munitions
plants, and British experience on that
subject.
What will Bowerman and Thomas
talk over, with President Gompers of
the A. F. of l.. and the members Of
his labor committee of the council Of
national defense, and with the chiefs

PEANIJT POLITICS AND BRAINSTORMS
EXILED FROM DENVER SCHOOL BOARD
Citizens Mondays Election By Overwhelming Ma
jorty Jones Ousted AS President and Carlos
Cole Reinstated AS Superintendent

Denver's public school system was
taken from the hands of exploiters
and politicians last Monday when the
three candidates running on the Citi-
zens' ticket were elected by over
whelming majorities. Lucius F. Hal
lett, Charles NJ. Schenck and Frank
NJ. Taylor defeated the Hilliard-
Guyer-Jones faction ticket by n vote
of about six to one, the total number
of votes cast being 1889. of these
Hallett received 14,021, Schenck a.
929 and Taylor 1870.
1t is confdently believed that pea
nut politics and brainstorms will now
be obliterated from the board meet
ings, and that the public school sys-
tenn is to once more be conducted in
such a way as to establish confidence
with the public, teachers and pupils.
After canvass of the vote had
been completed Wednesday, the new
board members were sworn in and i'm
mediately began to perform their du-
ties. At meeting held Wednesday
night, Ben Breeze Jones was removed
as president of the board and Lucius
F. Hallett elected by a vote of four to
two, Jones and Guyer being the small
end Of it. Congressman Ben Hilliard,
the other member of the reactionary
trio, did not come from Washington
to participate in the meeting. Charles
M. Schenck was elected treasurer in
place of DR.. Guyer.
When organized the first thing done
by the board was to reinstate Carlos
M. Cole as superintendent. and at the

milton plants, and it makes this bar
gain in accordance with the political
and military influences which play
upon the cabinet, quite as much as
because of the local power of the un-
ions. The old rules and concessions
won by the unions are in many cases
wiped out, and by treaty signed by
the labor organizations on the one
hand and the government on the other
close of the war to restore the old
conditions. Today they do not want
to try to go back to the former situa-
tion, but they do want something bet
ter in its stead. They want a voice
really democratic representation-in
the management of industry. They will
not insist upon it during the war, but
when peace comes they will not rest
until this concession is granted.
This is the position of Thomas
wing of the Labor party and of the
Trade Union Congress. Whether
Bowerman is ready to discuss the mat
ter is still to be discovered.
Mighty practical matters, these are,
for the American trade union move
ment just now. Detailed plans must
be worked out to meet the sudden
sweep Of state socialism in this coun-
try that the war has brought on.

On May 3 there was introduced in
congress the Lever bill for control
of prices Of the necessaries Of life
food, clothing, shoes, fuel-and the
means of producing them. 1t is broad
enough to permit the president to
either regulate or seize and operate all
of the industrial plants, the railroads,
mills, storage warehouses, packing
plants and even the agricultural land
of the country, if he deems it neces-
sary to do any or all of these things
to protect the public welfare. It is
bill under which the president
might nationalize, by one order, every
railroad, every steel plant, every mar
ket, every cotton mill and every ware
house in the United States.
Freedom of speech and of press,
even for labor, are to be upheld. Let
that be understood by every bulldoz-
ing employer in the country.

MRS. LEE CHAMPION writes from
M a bed of illness in Los Angeles
hospital, where she went some
months ago in the hope of recovering
her health, to express her deep grief
for the miners and their families who
were victims of the Hastings disaster.
The letter was written to Mrs. Rose
Peacey, fellow member and co-work-
er of the Colorado justice league. Says
Mrs Champion in her letter: eff you
see any of those poor miners, tell
them they have very sincere sympa-
thizer in me. I cannot Danish from my
minds eye the great suffering and
distress that must have come to those
poor people in Hastings. l hope soon
to have sufficiently recovered to be
able to return to Colorado and do what
can to assist them" Mrs. Champion
was one of the most indefatigable
WOTherS III giving aiu anu suSSoi "
victims of the Ludlow massacre, and
it was she who journeyed to Wash
ington to tell President Wilson the
true story of that awful catastrophe.
Her hosts of friends in Colorado, in
and out of the labor movement, are
praying for her complete recovery
and return to Colorado, where her
work in the cause of humanity is ever
in evidence.
IN The Bulletins mail this week
came a letter from Hon. Edward p
Costigan, written upon stationery
of the newly created United States
tariff commission. to which Mr.. Cos
tigan was appointed by President
Wilson, having moved to the national
capital, entered upon the important
duties as commissioner thereof. He
requests that his Bulletin be changed
from his Denver address to offices of
work of this commission will be of
peculiar interest to Colorado citizens
and especially to members of organ
lied labor by reason of Mr.. Costigan's
membership. His long and faithful
service in the interests of the working
people of this state has made his name
a household word in the homes of
working men and women, who all wish
for him success in his new career.
That he will prove of as valued serv-
ice to the nation as he has to the state
of Colorado there can be no question
of doubt.
'nENVER'S annual civic parade Tues
day afternoon, was an eye-opener
to the average city. Nearly 1000
employees were in line of march, with
all the paraphernalia of the fire and
police departments, including twenty
six members of. the detective force,
properly labeled, so that everybody
might know who they are and be able
to dodge 'em in the future. 1t was a
most creditable showing in every way
except as to the habilaments of the
street and park employees, whose
frayed trousers and rundown heels
plainly told of the battle they are
having with H. c. L. on the pitiful
wage of $3.50 per day. Each one of
the $4,000 prosperous citizens who
stood on the sidewalks and viewed the
four-mile long pageant ought to vote
for charter amendment No. 5 next
Tuesday to raise the per diem of these
faithful and useful street and park
employees to So.
