BONlDSFOR TEMPLE
LIBERTY LABOR STRUCTURE IS
NOW BEING CONSIDERED.
Carpenters Union No. 55 Will Pro-
vide Four Lots for Site and Take
Stock if Program Is Adopted.

A plan for construction of a Labor
Temple in Denver at conclusion of the
war is being considered by represen-
tative labor men. 1t is suggested that
Liberty bonds of unions and individ-
uals be pledged for the creation of a
Labor Temple building fund. This
matter was discussed at an informal
meeting held in Building Trades head
quarters last Sunday morning, and
pronounced by those present as being.
feasible and about the best program
for building Labor Temple ever pro-
posed in Denver.
Carpenters Union No. 55, owning
four lots on Stout street, between
Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, has
agreed to provide building site for
a six-story structure, and take stock
to the amount of their valuation, ap-
proximately $4,000. Or the carpen-
ters will provide a site at some other
location if it may be considered more
desirable.
A circular letter is to be sent the
various labor organizations of the city
requesting each to express a view on
the plan to be given in more detail.
Answers to these letters will deter
mine further action on the PROPOSE
ton.

SPEAK OUR TONGUE
AMERICANfZATION OF ALIENS
IN COLORADO BEGUN.
Governor Gunter Names Committee to
Act With State Council of Defense
in Conducting the Campaign.

During Governor Gunter's recent
visit to Washington, where he at
tended conference of governors, the
question of how to make American
citizens out of the alien residents was
considered. Secretary of the Interior
Franklin X. Lane brought the matter
before the conference and it was
agreed that the governors should in
terest themselves in their respective
states in this matter Upon his re-
turn to Denver, Governor Gunter laid
the matter before the state council of
defense. 1t was decided to create a
committee on Americanization of
aliens TO act in conjunction with the
state council of defense, and Governor
Gunter appointed the following;
DR.. George Norlin, acting president
of the State University, chairman.
Prof. Loran d. Osborn, director ex-
tension division, State University.
John r. Lawson, president Inde-
pendent Union of Mine Workers of
America.
Ralph B. Dergance, assistant custo-
dian of the postoffice building.
Mary C. C. Bradford, state superin-
tendent of public instruction.
Cass E. Harrington, former presi-
dent Denver Civic and Commercial
Association.
Harry B. Tedrow, United States
district attorney.
Mrs. NJ. d. Thatcher, Pueblo, Colo.
At meeting of the committee, j. Z.
Stephens was elected secretary. Mr..
Stephens has been connected with the
extension course of the State Uni
versity at Boulder and in this way has
been doing considerable work along
the lines the committee will follow.
He will at once begin to make n sur
vey of the alien population OF Colo
rado. The committee has adopted as
its immediate slogan "The English
Language for America"
While this activity grows out Of
the war, II is not essentially war
measure, for in reality the fruits Of
Amcricanization Of aliens will be best
realized in the years 20 come.
According TO the 1910 census there
are 80 900 600 residents Of foreign on
gin in this country, and Of these 49,
900 900 were actually born on foreign
soil. The census also shows that g.
516.163 aliens over ten years Of age
sare unable to read or write in any
language. In the conscriptive draft
100 900 cannot read or write, and
there are in this nation over 100000
illiterates over twenty years Of age.
In Colorado 22.7 per cent of the
native white population is of mixed
or foreign parentage. Nearly 16 per
cent are foreign born whites; 1875 per
cent of the foreign born population
of this state are Germans, IL per cent
Italian. 10 per cent Russian, 10 per
cent Austrian. 10 per cent Swedish,
and IL per cent of Colorado's foreign
born white population is illiterate.
/, Secretary of the Interior Franklin
n. Lane has been invited to come to
Colorado in the near future and open
the committees campaign. In the
event he can find time to accept the
invitation n great meeting will be held
in the City Auditorium.

the pleading Of his friends when they
urged him to leave the colony after
the brave little band of defenders had
been driven out. Louis Tikas refused
to leave the colony as long as one

heroic duty he was captured by the
gunmen. as were Fylcr and Bartoloti,
who had also remained in an effort to

"a great change has come over the

man of the policy committee during
the strike and now acting as inter-

he has not taken an active open part,

ever perpetrated in the American la.

Colorado were denied. the right to Sc

"There may be n monument built
to mark the spot where those brave
men died, where the women and chill

Ludlow, but it will also mark the time
when the international officers Of that
once great union have stopped to the
lowest depth of political degradation.
It may be called monument, but to
the rank and file Of union miners Of
Colorado and to those who gave up
their lives that truth, right and JUS
tice might live, it will only be stone"

JUDGE TELLS TELEGRAPHERS
OF RIGHT TO ORGANIZE.
Commercial Wire Men of Denver Will
Proceed to Form Union in Spite Of
Warnings Given by Employers.

Disregarding a warning not to at
tend. about fifty commercial telegraph
operators were present at meeting
preliminary to organization Of their
craft at the Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, hall last Sunday afternoon.
Judge Harry S. Glass was the prin-
cipal speaker. He told the audience
that England, the United States, the
individual states and the courts had
recognized the right of the working
man TO organize.
THE law is common sense" said
Judge Class several times during his
address. He told the men and women
of the key that they had the legal
and moral right to organize, but
warned them against welding the
strike club, as nearly every difference
could be adjusted by other methods.
W. G. Thornton, vice-president of
the State Federation of Labor and ex-
president of the Trades Assembly,
spoke 10 the operators about the
necessity of organization for working
people.
The telegraphers expect a larger at
tendance at tomorrow's meeting in
Trades Assembly hall, when organiza-
ton will be attempted simultaneously
with all other cities of the country.
Several cities, notably Pittsburgh,
have 100 per cent application lists

"OVER TOP" AGAIN
THIRD LIBERTY LOAN GIVES
TEST OF PATRIOTISM.
Labor Division Does Good Work, and
Many Industries Report 100 Per
Cent Subscriptions Of Employees.

Denver and Colorado have again
exceeded their quota in subscribing
to the third Liberty loan. Up to
Thursday evening the total for the
state was S22, ,331 $40, of which
amount S9,377 $40 is credited to Den
yer. This was expected to be largely
increased at a final meeting of the
Liberty loan army scheduled for /
o'clock Friday at the Albany hotel.
1t is believed that before the bond
subscription closes on May 4, Colo
RADIO will have subscribed S25,0OO,O 900,
or nearly so per cent in excess of the
minimum quota.
The union labor division of the Lib
erty loan army has been doing good
work visiting labor organizations from
night to night and urging subscrip-
tions. Up to Wednesday noon this
committee had turned in $4,000.
However, this does not by any means
represent the results achieved by the
committee, for most of the individual
labor subscriptions were made thru
the firms by whom they are employed:
The labor division consisted of Earl
r. Hoage, captain; George A. Brown,
C. W. Crum, Otto F. Thum, w. Z.
Secord, John J. Connor, James c. Bull
ger, W. F. Evans, w. F. Hynes, F. d.
Elliott, Wayne c. Williams. Clint C.
Houston, Robert C. Currie, II. S. Pere-
grine and Fred Vessel.
An auxiliary committee of the labor
division employed in the Burlington
yards, which secured subscriptions
amounting to over $4,000, was COM
posed of A. E. Weidenhamer, chair
man; William O'Leary, w. E. Secord.
William Gray, George W. Rice and j.
S. Sorrells.
Denver's Liberty loan army was to
hold its last MONDAY rally Friday at
o'clock. when it was expected the
total subscriptions would go over the
Sl0,000,0O0 mark, and the total num-
Der of subscribers probably reach So
600. This practically means q third
Liberty loan bond in every home.
A feature OF reports on this loan
shows that it is being taken largely
by wage earners and citizens of small
means. there being comparatively few
subscriptions Of large figures. At the
monday rallies the reports Of indus
trial plants, business institutions and
office firms showing 100 per cent sub
scriptions was as significant as ii
was gratifying, indicating the wide
spread patriotic spirit Of all classes of
citizens. The Denver Labor Bulletin
was one of the first to report 100
per cent subscription. for its office and
mechanical department. Very few red
cards were returned during this sub
scription.
