Dack to normal wages VIII only face
the cold facts they will understand
that they are advocating a policy as
inhuman, as atrocious, as destructive
of human freedom, as any of the
crimes committed by the imperial
German government. Even their own
enlightened self interest should show
them the criminal folly of policy,
which. if carried out, would ultimate
ly plunge this nation into social chaos.
1t is not too much to say that our hope
for sane, orderly, national develop
ment depends on the maintenance of
present wage levels and the continu-
Gus improvement of the conditions of
life and labor of our producing
masses.
When the cost of the necessaries
of life descends to a pre-war level
(which ! doubt will occur within less
than five years. then the workers in
the average industry will be receiving
only fair return for their work, if
present wage standards are rigidly
maintained. Otherwise not. The ma
tional war labor board fixed the mini
mum rate for common labor at 42h
cents an hour, bare subsistence level
and far below the standard which
should prevail.
''As for the eight-hour day. there
is no question that the fine thought
of this country in both the ranks of
workers. employers and the general
public, agrees with the declaration
which President Wilson made almost
five years ago to the effect that So
ciety had reached the point where it
was insistent in its demand that no
man should be compelled to work over
eight hours a day in order to earn a
living.
This was not, even at that COM
paratively early date. an arbitrary
announcement, but simply declara-
tion of a palpable economic and
physiological fact. The so-called basic
eight-hour day, which is criticised as
being a mere scheme for raising
wages, viii disappear when the actual
eight-hour day is installed with a
fair living wage for eight hours.
When men insist upon working more
than eight hours it is because they
cannot make enough to live upon in
comfort during eight hours.
IF. however, certain self-consti-
tuted spokesmen of industry (who /
refuse to believe typify the enlight-
ened employers Of the country in
their fatuous disregard for things as
they are, insist upon reaction as ex-
pressed in their threatened extension
of the hours of labor, wage cutting
and like practices. the industrial work
ers of the country may take their
threats seriously, make common cause
with the farmers and agricultural Ia
borers and. thru peaceful political
means, take charge of and operate
the government solely in the inter-
ests Of the producing masses. chang
ing our present industrial and eco-
nomic regime with thoroness and
swiftness unparalleled in the history
of nations"

LABOR DEPARTMENT
TO BE REORGANIZED.

Reorganization of the department
of labor from a war to a peace basis
is to be worked out by a special COM
mittee appointed by Secretary Will
son. Louis F. Post. assistant secre-
tary of labor. is chairman Of the com
mittee, and the other members are the
heads of the various departmental bu-
reaus.
"All indications are" said a state
ment recently by the department.
that the department of labor, which
was tremendously expanded to meet
the exigencies of the war, will play a
great part in the reconstruction period
and number of the special war serv-
ices now in existence will be capable
of handling various phases of the de-
mobilization problem.
Already the United States employ
ment service is replacing soldiers and
civilian war workers in peace employ
ments and gathering data on local la
Dor conditions upon which demobili-
zation Of war industry will be largely
contingent
The department now has eight
services and two boards created dur
ing the war. These are: United
States employment service, the wom-
an industry service, training and di-
luton, working conditions. inspection
and investigation, information and
education, labor adjustment and in
dustrial housing, the national war la
Dor conference board and the war la

CIGARMAKERS UNION
BOOSTING THE LABEL,
Editor Labor Bulletin:

Editor Labor Bulletin:
At this time when the cigarmakers
of this city are making a special eff
fort to create a greater demand for
union made cigars, and particularly
for blue label cigars, made in Denver,
il might be well for the consumers of
cigars to be informed as to some of
the methods used by that gigantic
trust, known as the United Cigar
Stores Company. Nothing is left un-
done by these people to induce the
public to smoke their cigars, made
by women and children, whose labor is
exploited in order to produce divi-
dends on over $500 ,000. 900 of invested
capital, a large portion of which is
watered stock. Numerous schemes
suspecting public to purchase these
cigars, but there are great many
reasons why union men in particular
ought not to purchase these cigars.
In the first place, they are non-
union made cigars. Second, the deal
er holds out as an inducement q cou-
pom. This coupon is to induce the
prospective purchaser to get started
on the coupon route. making the con-
sumer believe he will get something
for nothing.
Beware of Greek gods bearing gifts.
There never has been in the history
time that any bona fide. legitimate
business concern could or would give
away something for nothing. The
only way that the consumer can pro
tect himself against these unfair

methods is, when purchasing cigars,
to see that the blue label of the Cigar
makers International Union is on the
box.
The blue label of the Cigarmakers
International Union is a guarantee
that the cigars are made under favor
able conditions; that they are made by
union men. who are paid living wage,
and who, by virtue of their affiliation
with the great American labor move
ment, known as the American Fedora
tion of Labor. are entitled to the moral
support of the great consuming public.
Another phase of this great question
might be called to the attention of
smokers-the principle of patronizing
manufactured as fine cigars as any
where in the United States. This
statement defies contradiction, hence
why not give the preference to
cigars made here in Denver? We are
Interested in the growth and devel-
opment of Denver. Buy cigars made
in the city of Denver. Keep your
money at home in your own city.
Keep more cigarmakers employed here
at home. thereby adding to the pros
perity of our own city.
Mr.. Smoker. these few lines ought
to convince you in what direction your
duty lies. As good true blue union
man. call for the blue label-boost the
blue label-refuse to smoke any other
kind.

MAY Allison in The Testing Of

Auditorium today.
The story is so unusual that it de-
serves credit for its originality as
well as it's concise and we'll built
plot. DR.. Hernandez is a student Of
heredity and the supernatural AMI
believes that the spirits Of the dead
mingle freely with the living-feel-
ing pain and grief for their loved
ones on earth. For a fancied wrong
done to him many years before by
Mildred's dead mother he means to
wreak his vengeance on the beauti-
full young girl and thereby make
her mothers spirit suffer. His plan
is to cause the father of the beauti-
full young girl to believe that she IS
the child of another man, thereby
gaining a double revenge-making
the father and daughter unhappy
for life and discrediting the young
debutante in the eyes Of her lover
and friends Through the love Of a
good man, however. the plot fails,
and Hernandez evflness comes to
light in time 10 prevent unhappiness
