Editor of The Bulletin Writes Colora-
dos Chances For Recognition by
War Department Encouraging.
By CLINT c. HOUSTON.

Washington. July 22-Our commits
tion arrived here Friday afternoon on
time. Only mishap en- route occurred
when General Gamble dislocated an
ankle while getting up from table
in diner between Chicago and Fort
Wayne. A surgeon came aboard at
Fort Wayne and put the injured limb
in splints,
Saturday we called on the Colorado
delegation in Congress to pay our re-
spects.
Senator Thomas is i'll at his home
with a nervous breakdown, where we
went in body and left bouquet of
American Beauty roses. He is in
pretty bad shape. Congressman Tay-
lor out of town. Senator Shafroth,
Congressman keating. Timberlake
and Hilliard are on duty at Capitol.
Senator Shafroth took us to place
of vantage in the Senate gallery,
where we heard some of the conclud-
ing debates on the Food bill.
Sunday morning we held general
conference in Senator Shafroth's COM
mittee room in the Senate office build
ing, and reached thoro understanding
on our program of operations, after
which the Senator treated us to lunch
at the Terminal station, then gave us
by boat to Marshall Hall.
Monday morning we are to begin
calling on heads of departments, cab
met officers and perhaps the Presi-
dent.
Our mission is already making
some impression here.
The commission is trying hard to
get away from Washington by next
Thursday, July 26. but can't be GER
tain as we have to await convenience
of government officials. The commits
sion has met with considerable success
so far. Strengthened out several
kinks about furnishing war supplies
from Colorado. and now going after a
recuperating camp for soldiers and an
aviation training station. We are
meeting the real people. Monday
morning had long conference with
national defense council. See Secre-
tary of War Baker and President Will

congress accompany us on all official
visits-thus we attack in force-ir-
resistible as it were.

outside enemies, he is now being as

done to the weakened miners union
by the vicious efforts of few inter
national officers and organizers to play
politics at the expense of Lawson, the
man of all men who had borne the
brunt of the hard fighting and won the
right to the credit that rightfully goes
to able leadership in such conflicts.
But had supposed that the thoro way
in which Lawson confounded his enc
mics had effectively ended all such
moves.

UNION TEXT BOOKS IN INDIANA.

The Indiana board of education
has awarded the printing of its agri-
cultural text books to the Bobbs- Mer-
rill company of Indianapolis, a union
concern. Frank Duffy, 7th vice-pres-
ident of the A. F of l., who is a MEM
Der of the board, opposed the con-
tract for books on industrial arts for
the reason that up to the present time
no practical book has been prepared.
1t was finally agreed that bulletins
should be issued on the subjects of in
dustrial arts and domestic science.

Dear Sir:
II should be the aim of all who have
the best interests of the government
at heart to do everything in their pow

of lawlcssness that has no sympathy
for the government in its distress and
seeks to capitalize the nations mis-
fortunes to the end that their own or
ganization of irresponsible agitators
and followers may prosper.

The reason why the Business Mems
association of Omaha is demanding the
non-union shop-they call it "the open
shop"-was shown at hearings of the
board of mediation, which is attempt

Transfers testified that they were
paid between $3.50 and SO week, and
that some companies paid 20 cents an
hour. and that a teamster might be
