Germany Maintains Cavalry.
Trench warfare has not diminished
the German cavalry forces, as has been
generally supposed, for information
which has Just reached the cores
pondent of the Associated Press shows
the total of squadrons in the service to
be even higher than it was at the
mobilization in 1914. Changes, how
ever, have been introduced in the
mounted arm Of the service by which
some of the squadrons temporarily
have been dismounted and utilized ais
infantry, while the formations have
undergone considerable variation.
At present the German army has at
it's disposal no fewer than GAO squad
rons Of cavalry, comprising active, re-
serve. mobile ersatz, landWehr and
landstrum units; but Of these. IA have
been separated from their horses and
used as infantry. This figure COM
pares with 44O squadrons on a peace
footing.
When war began, the German caval-
ry was at once formed into eleven d.
visions, each composed of six regi-
ments of four squadrons. Besides these,
there also were the bodies Of division
al cavalry attached to the active and
reserve divisions Of infantry.
Roumania's entry into the war made
more cavalry formations necessary and
the number of organized divisions was
at once increased to fourteen.
The spring Of 1917 saw the end Of
the Roumanian campaign, and with this
came a decrease of the divisional for
nations to six, while the divisions
themselves were reduced from six
regiments to four each. At the same
time independent brigades OF mounted
troops were formed, of which the ex
istence of at least five is known each
having three regiments of four squad
rons each.
Nearly every infantry division is
provided also with a unit of cavalry,
whose strength varies according to the
| nature OF the country III WHICH tHc
troops are operating.
From among the cavalrymen who,
temporarily, are not employed on
mounted duty at the front, twenty
three regiments of riflemen have been
formed, which take their turn in hold
ing trenches with the ordinary infan-
try formations. Each Of these regiments
is composed of four squadrons and a.
squadron of machine-gunners.

the steel industry organize sufficiently
to exercise an influence in the order

"When labor speaks of the eight
hour day it means workday of eight
hours duration. 1t means an actual
eight-hour day. 1t is that kind of an
eight-hour day that organized labor is
striving for, not only in the steel in
dustry, but in every industry in which
it has not already been secured.
"The campaign of organization
among the steel workers will continue.
The movement will go on. No specious
pleas, no diplomatic announcements,
will stop it. The time required to or

America may be long, or it may be

PRINTING TRADES COUNCIL.

The Allied Printing Trades Council
held its regular meeting Wednesday
evening, December Is, with President
Wiley in the chair. The attendance of
delegates was fair, but it is desired
that every delegate be present at all
meetings.
The council treasury contains a bal
ance of $10765.
Announced that Printing Pressmen's
Union No. and No. 40 had amalgam-
ated and will hereafter be known as
No. 40.
The grievances of No. II and No.
40 against the Great Western Printing
Co. were referred to the executive
committee for investigation and report
at the next meeting. The labels were
withdrawn from above Office some time
ago.
After occupying a considerable part
of the time of the council meetings for
the past three years, the Peerless
Printing Co. was granted the use Of
the allied label, having complied with
all the requirements Of the council.
This statement may seem common
place to many, but to the president and
delegates in attendance during the
above stated time it means a good deal.
The president and those who worked
with him on the committee feel that
they have accomplished something
that will result in much good to all al

BASIC EIGHT-HOUR DAY
WON'T SATISFY LABOR.

A basic eight-hour day does not es-
tablish the shorter workday, says
President Gompers, writing in the
American Federationist on the accept
ance of the basic eight-hour day by
the steel trust.
"The A. F. of L. and number OF
its affiliated international unions had
under way campaign of organiza--
ton among the steel workers to end
the industrial autocracy of the steel
corporations" says President Com
pers. ut was to be expected that
some counter move would be made.
The announcement of basic eight
hour day was a counter move.
"Some two months have passed
since the announcement was made by
Judge Gary. If there was any doubt
then about what the basic eight-hour
day meant in the steel industry, there
is none now. 1t meant and means a

Geneuieue Miles
CBy Richard Croskey.)

At her home, 1927 South Penn
sylyania street, Genevieve Miles
passed away Sunday, December 10.
She was attacked with the dreaded
Spanish influenza three weeks before
and made brave fight, but after
severe suffering succumbed and was
buried at Fairmount cemetery Wed.
nesday morning, many old friends and
delegates to the Trades Assembly be-
ing present and escorting her remains
to their resting place.
Miss Miles is survived by her father,
A. H. Miles, veteran of the civil
war; her two brothers, Lieutenant
Commander Arthur H. Miles, now
commanding the U. S. S. Panther,
who has been on patrol duty in Euro
pean waters since the war, being one
of the first to go over on escort duty
for the American troops, and FLOYD
H. Miles of the Machinists Union and
delegate to the Trades Assembly.
Her father and brother Floyd were
with her at her demise. Commander
Miles has been communicated with
thru the navy department.
Taken off in her early womanhood,
few women have accomplished as
much as she in her thirty years. OF
life. She had the misfortune to lose
and cheerfully she assumed the bur
den of looking after the home for her
father and brothers. In addition to
this she found time to acquire an
education, graduating from the South
Denver High school with honors. How
well she conducted her home and look
ed after the interests of her father
and brothers can be attested by those
who were privileged to visit 1t. 1t was
thru her influence that her brother
Arthur was appointed cadet IN the
naval academy at Annapolis, being
appointed by former Congressman
Rucker The boy made good from the
start, was captain of the navy foot
ball team and graduated near the top
of his class.
She went to work at the Underhill
Garment factory and soon made her
presence felt in that union that has
produced so many women leaders IN
the trades union movement. Beng
sent as a delegate to the Trades AS
sembly, she was the first woman to be
elected vice-president of that body and
to preside over its meetings on the
several absent's of its president. On
a vacancy occurring at the state
house in the factory inspection de-
partment, she was offered the position
by Labor Commissioner Brake and
served five years, until a change of ad-
ministration. In this position she did
splendid work in enforcing the newly
enacted woman's eight-hour law, never
braggart, only those who were as
sociated with her know of the many
days and nights that she stood in the
cold, rain and snow watching and get
ting evidence against violators of this
law.
A delegate to many conventions OF
the State Federation of Labor, she
was we'll known to the labor leaders
of the state. Her cheerful, smiling
personality made her general favor
ite with all. She accepted a position
as clerk at the offices of the Rio Grande
railroad at Burnham, and while there
organized the Railroad Clerks; whose
secretary she was at her death.

Engineers
BY G. w. CRUM.

BY c. W. CRUM.
We are very glad to report that
President John A. Splaine has re-
covered from the "flu" and has again
resumed his duties as chief engineer
at the bath house. Mrs. Splalne is
also greatly improved and is able to
be around the house again.
Brother John Ward has again taken
UP his work as chief engineer at the
Hurlbut grocery store, after a hght
attack of the "f1u."
Brother Albert Schutz, engineer at
the county hospital, is able to walk
around little, altho he is very weak
yet. He probably will not be able
to work for several days.
Brother J. A Babbs, engineer at the
X. G. B. packing plant, is confined TO
his home by sickness. His place is
being filled by Brother S. j. Rundhl.
Brother Ed Mayes was confined to
his home for few days by sickness;
He is, however, able to be around
again and is at his post in the city
boiler inspection office.
Brother Arthur j. Davis, engineer
at the University pumping plant, has
again resumed his duties after several
days off with the "flu."
Brother Bumstead, engineer at the
Market building, will. leave Tor three
months visit in California next week.
His place will be taken by Brother
William Byers.
The "fu" seems to have different
effect on nearly every one, but a rather
unusual effect was noticeable on
Brother Harry Lafferty, who was re-
ported last week as being very sick.
Last Monday Harry got out OF his
bed, came down town and with the
aid of some friends procured mar,
riage license, and Tuesday was united
in marriage to Miss Charlotte Schech-
ter of 2221 California street. Harry
has not yet returned to work, but
no doubt he is very much improved,
and of course Harry will tell US all
about it later. In the meantime NO.
