PATRIOTIC LABOR
DAY CEREMONIES
SHOULD BE MADE SPE-
CIALLY DISTINCTIVE.
President Gompers Issues Circular
Letter Urging All Unions to Par
ticipate This Year in Showing
United Support of Government.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 27, 1918
To Secretaries Of City Central Bodies
and A. F. of L. Organizers.
Dear Sirs and Brothers: The st.
Paul convention Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor unanimously adopted
the recommendation Of the executive
council regarding the celebration of
Labor Day each year, but particularly
its celebration on Labor Day, the first
Monday in September, 1918. For gen.
eral information, the declaration of the
convention is quoted as follows:
Since the recognition of the first
Monday in September as Labor's Day,
the celebration of that day has in.
creasingly become observed as labor's
special festival.
The first Monday in September,
1917, being the first Labor Day after
bration assumed a more subdued and
serious tone.
The first Monday in September,
1913, will be the second Labor Day
since our republic has thrown its
strength and resources in the titanic
world struggle.
No one can dispute that labor has
done and is loyalty doing its part in
support of the government and our
common cause.
1t is but fitting that Labor's Day,
1913, should be observed in distinct
i've manner. We, therefore, recon-
mend that organized labor in every
section of the country observe Labor
Day, 1918, by special ceremonies and
demonstrations, and that the slogan
for the day be:
Win the War for Freedom.
The convention by unanimous vote
declared that the matter of expense
connected with the Labor Day cere-
monies and demonstrations for uni
forms, flags, banners, automobiles and
transportation was negligible as COM
pared with the advantages which
come from the spreading Of informa-
ton, the creation Of intensified inter-
est in labor and the world fight for
freedom and justice now going on;
that it would in any case not only be
well worth the investment, but might
prove self-supporting and would be
valuable contribution by which the
present war for freedom, justice and
democracy can be won.
In view of the fact that the time
between the conventions declaration
and Labor Day is SO short, am con-
strained to issue this circular at once
to organized labor, urging the gen.
eral observance Of Labor Day, Mon
day, September 2, in every commu-
nifty thruout America, and that appro-
pirate demonstrations and services be-
fitting the day, the cause Of labor and
the cause Of the world struggle, be
observed.
All organizations are urged to carry

available tonnage of 5000 ,O0O, 900
tons. The total available tonnage of
| Northwestern Colorado and North
eastern Utah is estimated at 65, OOO,-
100000 tons.
Oil shale areas in Colorado and Utah
cover 1000 square miles and contain
an estimated volume of 10000, 900 900
barrels of crude oil and can produce
300, 100000 tons of ammonium sui
phate, valuable fertilizer.
Tons of Hydro Carbon.
Solid hydrocarbons occur in MANY
forms and in deposits of great thick
ness in the Uintah Basin, which the
Moffat road, when extended, must
traverse. The locally known only as
gllsonite, these hydrocarbons range
thru the whole list and the United
States geological survey estimates
that the tonnage from four veins out
OF many approximates 81 1851 tons.
Two large deposits of carnotite, the
ore OF uranium and vanadium, are
found IN territory dependent upon the
Mofat road for transportation. Cop
per IN commercial quantities has been
found but has been only partially de-
veloped in both Colorado and Utah
adjacent to the Moffat road and its
proposed extension. Development of
these properties will follow the COM
pletion of transportation facilities.
Gold has been found in several loca-
tons and silver in others, while large
deposits of iron are known to occur
in several localities. Lead is found
in vast quantities in Northeastern
Utah. Other minerals found in the
region tributary to the road are man
ganese, molybdenum, mercury, slate,
onyx sulphur, tungsten and volcanic
Await Transportation.
Prof. George lays some stress upon
the possibility of the development of
oil in the Rangeley field and in the
vicinity of Bonanza, Utah. The
Rangeley district is included in a ma
val withdrawal covering $4,000 acres.
while remoteness from transportation
has seriously impeded the development
of the Bonanza district. In conclu-
sion, he declares that the territory
tributary to the Moffat road is ex-
tremely rich and that development will
be stimulated only as transportation
facilities are increased.
Copies of the letter have been sent
to the federal railroad administration
and to the Colorado delegation in Com
gress.

LABOR SHORTAGE is REPORTED.
Ordinary Workers and Skilled Arti-
sans Must Be Obtained.

Americas war labor problem is be-
coming acute. Hundreds of thou
sands of ordinary laborers and skilled
mechanics in all lines must be OBJ
tanned Immediately for industries
thruout the country if the war pro-
gram is to be carried out completely,
according to an announcement by the
United States employment service of
the department Of labor.
Between 100000 and 100000 labor
ers are needed, the officials estimated.
In addition there is a lack of work.
ers for coal mines, which alone i'm
perils all other war production.
$50 serious is the situation con-
sidered," the department of labor an
nounced, "tiiat the United States en-
ployment service, in which labor re-
cruiting for the war work has been
centralized, is endeavoring to COM
plete its recruiting machinery SO that
wholesale relief may be given before
the ban against private labor recruit
ing goes into effect on August l."

That twenty-three typical bitumi-
nous coal mines n Central Pennsyl-
vania averaged a margin Of 80 cents
a ton in 1917 against 20 cents ton
in 1916.
Steel Profits Excessive.
That in 1917 the steel companies
made abnormal profits in the period
prior to the government price fixing.
and that number have continued to
make unusually heavy profits since
that policy was inaugurated. Their
profits in some instances have ranged
from 100 to 319 per cent.
That the average profits in the cop
per industry have been more than
doubled over those of normal years.
That milk and salmon Gamers and
other food product companies have
made exorbitant profits in the war
years. Salmon Gamers profits, for
instance, were approximately 52.8 per
cent on net investment in 1917. The
Helvetia Milk Condensing Company
made 65 per cent on its investment.
Packers Prey on People.
"The outstanding fact in the indus
trial surveys which the commission
has recently made" declares the COM
mission, "is the heavy profit made by
the meat packers and by those allied
with them, and by the flour millers.
"Their (the packers) manipulations
of the market embrace every device
that is useful to them without regard
to law.
However delicate a definition is
framed for 'profiteering' these pack
ers have preyed upon the people I'M
consciously.
an the three war years from 1915
to 1917 their total profits (Armour,
Swift, Morris and Cudahy) have
reached the astounding figure of $780,
1000, of which s121 900 900 repre-
sents excess over their pre-war profits.
Big Profits in Flour.
Flour millers made unequal profits,
with average earnings up to June 80,
1917, of nearly 38 per cent. In face
of the regulation of 25 cents per bar
rel maximum, the average profit per
barrel on this flour "a 1000, 000-barrel
output investigated) was about 45
cents barrel, or over three times the
normal profit. The profits of jobbers
in 1917 were over twice the normal.
These conclusions carefully arrived
at by the federal trade commission are
sufficiently serious condemnation of
the attitude of our monopoly inter-
ests toward the nation in time of war,
but the real facts are stronger. The
commission had to reply on reports
sent to it by the corporations.
Figures Are "Doctored."
The means and the temptation for
concealment in these reports are al
most without limit, and what doctor
ing of figures the commission has dis
covered as in the case of the millers
must be only small part of what
has been going on. Inventories have
been juggled, depreciation increased
beyond reason, and officers salaries
padded. One concern, for instance, the
American Metal Company, Ltd, OF
New York, was found to have charged
to expenses nearly 100000 of sal.
aries and commissions.

FIVE MEASURES
TO BE VOTED ON
MORE PAY FOR JUDGES
FAILS OF SIGNATURES.
Three Initiated and Two Legislative
Propositions Are to Appear on
Ballot in General State Elec-
ton November 5.

Three initiated measures and two
legislative measures for ratification
will be presented to Colorado voters
for their consideration in the Novem-
Der election.
The time limit for the fling of mi
tiated petitions looking to changes in
the state constitution or state laws
expired last Friday at midnight. One
petition lacked 1856 signatures of the
number sufficient to insure its consid-
Grafton by the voters.
1t was the petition for a constitu-
tional amendment that would increase
the salaries of supreme court justices
from $4,000 to $500 year, and dis
trict court judges from $4,000 to &c.
900 a year. Under the election laws,
81, 467 signatures were necessary.
Sponsors for the petition notified
Secretary of State James r. holland
at the last minute that they would
have to abandon the proposed amend
ment.
Prohibition Bill.
Two of the initiated measures for
approval by the voters are the pro-
hibition bill of the Anti-Saloon League
and the bill providing for financial
help for adult blind residents of this
state.
The third proposes constitutional
amendment to the civil service laws.
1t is sponsored by the Denver Civil
Service Reform Association. 1t pro-
poses to supplant political pull with
merit, and it is intended to put the
doing out of jobs beyond the reach Of
the legislature.
Electors will be asked to consider
senate concurrent resolution, by Sem
ator o. L. Mitten, amending Sec. 10,
Art. v of the constitution. 1t pro-
vides that no bill except the general
appropriation bill for the expenses Of
the government only, introduced in
either house of the general assembly
after the first fifteen days shall be-
come law. The period for introducing
measures at present is thirty days.
Publication Measure.
The other measure for ratification
is senate bill No. 304, by Senator
David Elliott, to be designated as
Art. XIII of the constitution. 1t
calls for the publication Of proposed
initiated and referred bills in two is
sues of two newspapers Of opposite
political faith in each county in the
state. The publication shall be made
at least one week apart and not less
than three nor more than five weeks
before the election.
Under the present arrangement
such publication is in one issue Of only
one newspaper, four weeks prior to
the election.

VAST MINERAL RESOURCES COULD
BE DEVELOPED BY BORING TUNNEL
Geolog George Tells of Great Benefits
Government Provided Proper Transportation
cilies Coal Oil Shae Abound
in Routt County.

In support of the movement to OBJ
tain the help of the federal govern
ment for the completion of the Denver
& Salt Lake railroad, including the
tunnel under James Peak, Prof. R. D.
George, state geologist, has prepared
a letter to the special committee of
the Denver Civic and Commercial As
ISOLATION, which has the subject in
charge, regarding the coal, oil shale,
| hydrocarbon and other mineral de-
posts of economic value in the dis
| trict served by the road or along the
| line of its proposed extension.
In a note transmitting his findings,
Prof, George says:
at is apparent to me, from a care
full examination of the subject, that
the industrial value of many million
dollars worth of useful mineral de-
posts depends largely upon the quick
completion of the railroad enterprise,
including the proposed tunnel thru the
main range.
Moffat Tunnel Necessary.
"The United States owns the larg-
est proportion of the coal and oil
shale lands, and of lands containing
other deposits of economic value, in
the region mentioned. In that district
the state OF COLORADO owns many
thousands of acres of lands undertake
with workable veins of coal. There
are many thousand acres of cultivable
lands, and wide areas of grazing
lands, in that region, which will be
brought into usefulness by the COM
pletion of this necessary transporta-
ton enterprise-the Moffat road; so
the public interest is involved to the
extent of many millions of dollars,
aside from the general public interest
represented by the need for the coal
of that region and by the need of the
people already settled in that region
for dependable transportation"
Vast Oil Shale Land.
The coal fields adjacent to and de-
pendent upon the Denver & Salt Lake
railroad, Prof. George points out, are
the Yampa, with an area of 1900
square miles and probable available
tonnage of $4,000, 100000 tons; Black
Tail Mountain, with an area of $50
square miles and a probable tonnage
of 1857 100000 tons; Deep Creek, 253
square miles in area, with an esti-
mated tonnage of 100000 tons;
Danforth Hills and Grand Hogback,
375 square miles of coal land; Book

VENTILATION OF HEN HOUSE
As Necessary for Laying Fowls in Win
ter as In Summer-keep Windows
and Doors Open.

The henhouse needs fresh air-as
much in the winter as in the summer.
1t is as necessary to laying hens as
clean water and good feed. Badly VEN
tilated houses make hens lose vitality,
they lay fewer eggs, and often become
sick and stop laying altogether. Ven
tilation is needed also to keep the
house dry. When the circulation of
the air is poor in cold weather, mois-
ture collects on the inside of the walls
and roof. AT a freezing temperature
under such conditions there is a rapid
accumulation of frost" on these sur
faces which makes the house very I'M
comfortable.
Ventilation to provide pure air and
dryness in a poultry house is simply
a matter of keeping doors and win
dows open as much as is necessary
to keep the walls dry. Few poultry
keepers have any difficulty in doing
this until the temperature goes low
enough to freeze water in the house.
Then the tendency is to close doors
and windows to keep the house warm.
A general rule which may be followed
Is to open doors and windows as wide
as is necessary to keep the house dry
in cold weather and to keep them wide
open when water in the house will not
freeze.

Refuse Aid and Comfort to En-

PLAN TO ERADICATE MITES
Kerosene or Crude Petroleum Sprayed
In House Cracks or crevlces Will
Destroy Little BIood-suek-
ing Parasites.

Don't tolerate mites and lice in your
hennery. They are unnecessary pests
and they sap the vitality that should
go into egg production. Nowadays,
effective ways are known for eradicat-
ing lice and mites altogether. First,
n dust bath should be accessible to the
hens. Usually there will be a place in
the yard where the hens can dust them
selves in the dry dirt. If such a place
is not available, a box large enough
(about 2 feet square) for the hens to
get into 1t should be provided in the
house and a quantity of dust such as
ordinary road dust or fine dirt placed
in 1t to allow the hens a place to dust
themselves. A dust bath aids the hens
in keeping lice in check and therefore
adds to their comfort. Usually the
lice are not present on the birds in
sufficient number to prove particularly
harmful. However, it is better to keep
the hens as free as possible from this
pest, and If they are not able to keep
them in check by busting themselves,
other measures can be undertaken.
To Eradicate Lice.
To rid the hens of lice, each one can
be treated by placing small pinches of
sodium fiuorid, a material which can
