Will Support War.

declaration in support of the war
has been adopted by a committee of
workingmen and apparently represents
the sober conclusion which the masses
of the population have reached, after
being swayed this and that way by the
turbulent currents and cross currents
which swept through the country in
the first days of the revolution
This conclusion is that liberty and
victory over the Germans are insep-
arabic and that the responsibility for
plunging Europe into war rests on the
German and Prussian imperialistic am
bitions.
The tendency Is to regard the war no
longer as a struggle between nations
but as one between the new spirit of
democracy and the old spirit of I'M
perialism. The people are eagerly de-
sirous of peace but are ready to devote
redoubled energy TO war IL that Is the
only way of achieving IT. Even the
dissentient voice of the extreme So
cialist elements. which at first openly
declared Itself against war and coun-
seled the soldiers to lay down their

COLORADO TO BE ARID ZONE.
Reed Law Against Shipment of Booze
to Be Enforced by Tedrow.

According to United States District
Attorney Tedrow, Colorado is to be
virtually bone dry after July !, when
the Reed law becomes effective. Un-
der no conditions will liquor be per-
mitted transportation across the state
line except for sacramental, medicinal,
scientific or mechanical purposes. And
those who apply for liquor under these
heads will have to furnish proof that
they are not attempting to violate the
law.
While the Colorado Horton bill per-
mits the importation Of two quarts Of
whiskey, six quarts Of wine, and TWEEN
ty-four quarts of beer within thirty
day period, the federal law will super
cede this and shut out such interstate
shipments. 1t will readily be seen
that Colorado men and women who are
addicted to the drink habit will be
forced either to reform or take up an
abode in less arid region.

OLINGER OPENS
UNION FACTORY
BURIAL CASKETS BEING MADE
BY TRADE UNIoNISTS.
Members of Carpenters, Upholsterers
and Painters Organizations EN-
ployed By This Fair Concern

George w. Olinger of the Olinger
Mortuary, 2605 Sixteenth street, is
now conducting burial casket fac
tory under strictly union conditions,
and is prepared to furnish caskets
bearing the union label. A crew of
union carpenters, upholsterers and
painters is steadily employed in the
factory, and in addition to being union
made they have the further merit of
being made in Colorado.
Mr.. Olinger has made a splendid
success of his business because he
gives everybody a square deal, and the
family with only few dollars to spend
receives the same courteous treatment
and fine consideration as the family
which has thousands Of dollars to pay
for burial.
He is one of the big-hearted and
public-spirited men of Denver, and
shares with his energy, time and
money in all civic undertakings Of
real merit. The Olinger Highland
ers, company of boys, have become
one of the show features of this city.
At his own expense Mr.. Olingcr has
equipped nearly hundred lads with
uniforms and other accoutrements Of
soldier. These boys are receiving
a training that is sure to make them
better citizens and serve much to ad-
vance their chances in fighting the
battle Of life.

MINERS UNIONS ARE DEMANDING
RECALL OF MORAN AND PIPPIN AND
RESTORATION OF DISTRICT CHARTER

ternational President John P. White,
or committee appointed by him, Sc
lected James F. Moran of Iowa as act
ing president, and Warren Pippin of
Kansas as acting secretary. They
have been in complete charge of the
district since the first of February and
are responsible to no one for their
actions except the international Off
GERS.
Miners Are in Revolt.
Soon after being named as tempo
rary officers of the district the offices
were moved from Denver to Pueblo
For more than month the miners of
the state have been in revolt against
Moran and Pippin, and are demanding
that the charter be restored. How
ever, Moran and Pippin do not want
to give the district autonomy until
Lawson is placed in a position where
he cannot hold the office of president
to which he was elected. Hence the
inspired article in the Denver Post
of Sunday, June 8, saying Lawson
has left the union and gone over
to the operators" leaving the i'm
preston that John R. Lawson, the
miner - the man whom every one
in Colorado respects and loves, except
Moran of Iowa and Pippin of Kansas,
and the Judas who asked that the
charter be withdrawn-had forsaken
the men for whom he has struggled
all these years, and aligned himself
with the enemy. This constitutes one
of the most damnable, as it is dis
graceful, pages in the history of the
labor movement in Colorado or any
where else.
The Bulletin came to the defense of
T of ha hal hnan icI W
maligned and The Bulletin will con-
tinue this fight until the Colorado
labor movement is no longer desecrat-
ed by such wolves as Moran of Iowa,
Pippin of Kansas, and others who aid
them in bringing the blush of shame to
the faces of honest men and women
in the ranks of organized labor.
