Denver Trades and Labor Assembly Votes
to Give Strikers Solid support

The drug clerks and soda dispensers
have formed separate unions and are
determined to win better pay and con-
ditions.
Some of the drug stores which sig
nifed a willingness TO grant the de
mands of the drug clerks and soda
dispensers We're not affected by the
strike. However, friends of labor
and union members are permitted to
patronize any drug store except the
seven ScholtZ stores
Attention was directed at the As
sembly meeting to the danger of hav-
ing prescriptions filled at drug stores
employing StrikebreakerS. who are not
qualified tosdo this particular line of
work. Physicians of labor men are
being urged to see TO it that medi-
cines are not procured Mt stores where
the regular licensed pharmacists are
on strike, The danger TO human life
is readily recognized.

The Scholtz Drug Company man

Strike Last summer Not Caused by

and Movement to Organize Union
Was Sustained by \. I. of l..

The Denver Union Stockyards and
the strike there last summer has
bobbcd up frequently at the hearing
before the federal arbitrator in Chi
Cago during the past week. Some rep
resentatives Of the packing companies
testified that the strike here last sum
mer was caused by !. W. w disturb
ers. This statement is strongly re
futed by members of Denver Local
Union No. Gal, comprising the pack
ing house employees. The demand
here was for shorter hours and more
money. and the cards passed around
by the committee on organization
were not issued by |. w. w. reprcsen-
tatives. but by authority Of organ
izers representing the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
Upon reading statements in the
daily press, Denver Union No. GAL
sent a telegram to Chicago, giving
true facts of the case in brief as fol-
lows:

YOUNG CHOSEN TO
SUCCEED LAWSON
AS PRESIDENT OF
THE FEDERATION
PUEBLO MAN NAMED BY
EXECUTIVE BOARD AT
DENVER MEETING.
Lawson's Resignation Becomes Effect
i've March Is, When He Assumes
Leadership of Newly Organized
Independent Union of Mine
Workers in Colorado.

The executive board of the Colorado
State Federation of Labor held three
days' session at headquarters IN Den
yer last week. all members being pres
ent with exception of Miss Elizabeth
Smith, who was visiting in the East.
Several matters Of Importance came
before the board for consideration,
among them the resignation of John
r. Lawson as president. The board
was loath to accept Brother lawson 5
resignation and did so only upon his
insistence. The resignation becomes
effective March Is. William H. Young
of Pueblo. secretary of the Trades As
sembly and Labor Temple Association
there, an active member of the Press
mems Union, being in charge of the
Pueblo Chieftain ptess room, was
elected to succeed President Lawson.
Bennett W. Cowan of Pueblo, a
member of the Bookbinders Union,
was elected a vice president. to fill the
vacancy caused by elevation of Young
to the presidency.
The resignation of President Law
son was occasioned by the fact that
the union coal miners of Colorado
have decided to withdraw from the
United Mine Workers of America and
form an independent organization in
this state. At a meeting of the exec
utive council of the new union held in
Denver this week, Lawson was chosen
president. and he deemed it necessary
to resign from the Federation Office
in order to devote all of his time to
the new union.
The election law of the Federation
is rather vague as TO filling vacancies,
so the board decided after electing
president. to submit this to refer
endum vote of the affiliated unions. 1t
is believed that there will be no oppo-
sition and that approval will be given
the boards selection.
A subcommittee was appointed to
confer with the Non-Partisan League,
the Farmers Grange and Farmers
Union in reference to a cooperative
plan that was presented to the board.
This matter will be reported upon at
later meeting.

Among the pretty frocks shown at the style show was this one of poplin, indulging in narrow bands of velvet, and in plaited panels at the back ands front. Only silk frocks can be allowed the extravaganza of plaits; it is out of the question to allow extra quanti- ties of wool for them. This attractive dress has more ehs7 a generous al- lowance of plaits to it's credit, for it displays a new management of the bodice. For the slender woman who aspires to wear a straight line dress but hopes not to look angular, this is a model worth studying.
 The bodice is extended several inch es below the waistline and is straight, with bands of velvet that relieve it's plainness and improve the figure. The sleeves are banded in the same way and finished with velvet cuff-that Is simply wide band. The little jacket is plain Qnd has a shoulder cape that widens the shoulder lines. and it falls in a slight ripple over the bust

The other coat is of heavy veIours, with wide shawl collar and turned back cuffs of moleskin plush, all in taupe color. Except for two plaits at the side stitched down to the hip lines, it is entirely plain. Just by way of showing how expertly stitching can be managed the designer of this coat placed a small insert of cloth under cut-out in the sleeve above the cuff. Its color has much to do with the ele- gance of this coat and demands the sort of designing that appears in 1t. It Is a gentlewoman's eoat-equal to nearly all the demands of the winter season and very handsome garment with all its simplicity. It buttons up the front and may be brought up close about the neck where the plush collar will prove as warm as fur.

Anything which adds to the con yenience of the house or to the ease with which it can be kept clean is sure to make great hit with the housewife and she is pretty apt to mention it to her friends who are about to build. Now there are great many things which are seldom called for in the plans and specifications, but which add greatly to the comfort of the home. Some of these things cost nothing at all but a little forethought, and the others such a small amount that the added prestige will more than repay the builder for the money spent putting them in. Following is de scription of some of them that have been provided for in the good-looking, modern home design illustrated here and are well worth attention.
 This is a modern farmhouse of eX- ceptionaI comfort and convenience. Living room, dining room, den or farm office, kitchen, pantry, and wash room occupy the first floor, while upstairs
