BOCHE RAIDS
IN AIR VARY
Hun Hooligans Of Air Rely
on Terrorism
to Win.

London, Oct. 1i.-German raiding
operations-while the German was
strong enough in the air to make
such raids-consisted chiefly In at
tscks on civilian centers-London.
Paris-and the shelling Of hospitals
and hospital trains.
Allied air strategy has had mill
tary effectiveness rather than ter
rorism for its aim. Specific points
where munitions were manufactured
or stores could be destroyed were
the targets.
This is the difference between the
German air hooligans and the allied
soldiers of the air.
In three months the Sablon Railway
station at Metz has been raided thir-
ty-eight times. Thionville. under Ger
man occupation. has received thirty
one attacks from the air. Both were
close to the Western front air bases.
Each has been a concentration point
for German supplies, the junction Of
the strategic railways of the Lor-
raine front and the whole OF the
Lower Rhine basin
These raids on railway objectives
played a great part in May in the
checking of the German advance. OF
a eNOLal OF ULly-uNe EdlQS IN MAY
alone. forty-seven had as their OBJ
jectives railway stations. sidings or
bridges.
The Bodische factory at Mannheim,
principal source Of Germany's poison
gas, has been raided repeatedly. two
tons Of bombs being dropped in one
of the attacks Results, shown in col
umns of black smoke, and later in
photographs revealing fallen roofs
and blackened girders. have been very
satisfactory.
Daimler Motor Works, at Stuttgart,
where the famous Daimler engines
are built, has been a favored point
of Attack The Bosch Magnetic Works,
whose world monopoly is now de-
stroysd, has had its showers OF
bombs. Factories, stations and bar
racks at Frankfort and Cologne and
numerous aerodromes have been
shelled from the air.

George R. Truog, member of Typo
graphical Union No. 80, Kansas City,
Mo, and wife, were visitors here last
Monday.
Louis C. Held and wife of Indian
apolis, Ind, a member of the |. t. u,
with Denver travelling card, journey
ing to the Pacific coast, visited the
Home last Saturday.
There is not single case of the
Spanish influenza at the Home. But
on account of the prevalence of the
epidemic in Colorado Springs, the res
idents are refraining from going to
the city, and have been complying
with the instructions of the superin-
tendent that they remain on the Home
grounds, and while the pleasant wealth
er continues, are spending the-greater
portion of their time outdoors.
Miss Beatrice NJ. Mitchell, for over
three years head nurse at the Home,
received her commission from the
United States government for the Red
Cross service and left here on Wednes-
day, October Q, going to Camp Kear-
ny, San Diego, Cal.

Carpenters

On Tuesday afternoon the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters unveiled
the monument erected at Holy Cross
cemetery, at Indianapolis, Ind, in
honor of James Kirby, former general
president of the Carpenters, who died
three years ago.
All who knew Jim Kirby loved him
for his sterling qualities. He was one
of the foremost leaders of the trade
union movement, having served as
president of the National Structural
Trades Alliance and was also presi-
dent of the National Building Trades
Department. He was great advocate
of more humanitarian condition for the
men and women who toiled, and his
whole life's work was devoted to this
accomplishment.
The memorial services were at
tended by nearly 200 national labor
officials who came to pay their re-
spects to their former friend and CO.
worker. When it is considered that
these men came from all parts of the
country to be present at these last
services, it speaks better than words
the esteem and friendship in which
Jim Kirby was held by all who knew
him.
Splendid addresses were made at
the dedication services by President
Hutcheson and General Secretary
Duffy of the Carpenters, President
John Donlin of the National Building
Trades Department, and Frank Nor
rison, secretary of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, all of whom paid
high tribute to their departed friend
and brother The monument is of a
beautiful granite, of massive proper
tions and suitably inscribed.
Carpenters Local Union No. 55 now
has forty blue stars upon its service
flag. A number of the boys are over
on the fighting front pushing the Huns
back to Berlin. Bernard Munk writes
Secretary Bob Currie that it is great
sport. George Zaiss, a well known
member of No. So, is in Siberia clos
ing in on the Bolshevik.
Janitor John Long, who so efficient
ly cares for Carpenters Union hall and
the office headquarters, is confined in
the county hospital.
Business Agent Tom Roddy, who has
been seriously i'll for the past two
months, is now at his home after be-
ing in the hospital for several weeks,
and is reported to be improving.
Ike Morris, quartermaster general
of the cigar and refreshment stand at
headquarters, is experimenting a
complete renovation of the Carpenters
hall.
The executive board of the State
Council of Carpenters will hold a
meeting in Denver November 4, for
the transaction of considerable routine
business.

Cigarnakers
By J. W. SANFORD.

If you should see a couple of hun
dred people in the neighborhood of
Twentieth and Arapahoe streets with
lanterns these mornings we want to
tip you off before hand that it is not
an army of Diogenes, but cigarmak-
ers employed at the Dry Climate fac
tory going to work. The scarcity of
cigarmakers and the increasing de-
mand for label goods has forced the
firm to ask the members to work over
time in order that they may fill their
orders. Other factories in the city
are equally busy.
Charles Lord, who conducts a retail
cigar stand and factory at 20 Twen-
tieth avenue, went with party via
automobile thru the northern and
western parts of the state couple of
weeks ago in search of a land loca-
tion. Charlie found a suitable home
stead location all right and expects to
go into the farming business as soon
as he can make arrangements. The
trip was made without mishap until
on the return and within five miles of
Denver, when the glare of head
light on an approaching automobile
caused them to lose control of their
flivver, with the result that the whole
party were dumped in a marshy ditch
beside the road. Aside from thoro
mud bath for all, no damage was done.
However, it required team of horses
to get their machine going again.
C. p. Conrad, an old-time member of
No. 129, has been engaged for some
time past at the capitol building re-
moving and rearranging the museum
section in its new quarters across the
way. Conrad says that he will make
an effort to become a permanent fix
ture if the right party takes posses
sion of the reins this fall. He is not
committing himself as to which party
he is for, however.
The family of Morris. Hoffman,
numbering six, are all but one suffer
ing from severe attack of grip or
near "flu," but are reported out of
danger now.
Our charming elevator pilot, re-
ferred to last week, is suffering from
slight attack of tonsilitis and was
obliged to put a Sub" in her place
for few days this week. She expects
to be back on the job in few days.
We find few of Hessler's Single
Binder and High Altitude scent cigars
on the market. These cigars do not
bear the union label, for the reason
that they are made by the machine
and cheap labor process. See that the
ldDel Is Oh l1e DON WIleH purchasing
cigars. They are the same price to
the customer The dealer makes a
little more on the other kind, but
charges you the same.
Applications from Unions over the
country amounting to from 81 to Sd
on the thousand for making cigars
continue to come in for our approval.
These demands are in keeping with
high cost of living and are in almost
every instance complied with by the
manufacturers. We have no informa-
ton of strike in our line anywhere
in the country at present.
George O'Toole has opened a union
cigar factory in Sterling, Colo, and
has sent his card in to us and applied
for the label for his product.

in Colorado, writes that he is again

Union Man Killed in War Gave Insur-

sMembers of the American Flint
Glass Workers Union, assembled in
Memorial hall, Toledo, were told an
inspiring story of patriotic devotion
by member of their union at the un-
furling of a service flag, with 866
stars, representing union men in the
army.
After an. Introductory speech, in
which John J. Quinlivan, business
agent of the Toledo Central Labor
Union, told of the determination of
the unions to back the government,
President William P. Clarke described
the heroic death of Charles H. Nc
Carthy, who sacrificed his own life in
France for the sake of friend
Not only had Mccarthy, a former
member of the Glass Workers Union,
died herOfcally, but he had lived pa
triotically, Mr.. Clarke said, for in TAX
ing out $4,000 insurance when he en-
tered the army, he asked that the
sum be made payable to the United
States government.

(Tale from the Dairy of Kitchen
"Seated one day at. the organ,
/ was weary and i'll at ease,
| was grinding up hash for supper
With the organ between my knees,
81 do not know what ! was grinding
Or what / was dreaming then,
But / struck what seemed to be the
remains
Of lately lamented hen.
".Great Heavensr 1 cried, 'Tis a
chicken
With my hand on my fevered head,
we ordered the leg of steer for hash
Ard they sent us a Leghorn instead.
"Alas for the dear old organ,
They broke it apart with pick,
The mess sergeant stood with a tear
in his eye ,
As they hauled out piece of stick
"'Found at lastv and he clasped to
his bosom
The lost cord of maple and ash,
Some son or a gun put the camp on

When he put all my wood in the

Building Trades

The board of business agents of the
Building Trades Council has not held
formal meeting for nearly two
weeks. Daily sessions in the Building
Trades Club are taboo since the edict
issued by the board of health to stop
the spread of influenza. However, so
far as our information goes, no mem
ber of the board has contracted the
disease.
