ANNUAL PICNIC OF
PUEBLO CAR MEN
GOOD EATS ARE DIVIDED
INTO THREE SHIFTS.
Big Preparations for Labor Day Pa
rade and Have Old Bob Tail Car of
Ancient Days as Historic Float;
Boosting The Bulletin.
By EARL w. KOUNS.

PUEBLO, Colo, Aug. 20.-Pueblo
street car men held their second an
nual picnic the first of the month, and
most all members, their families and
sweethearts were in attendance. The
picnic was held at Mineral Palace
park and the meals were served at
three different shifts SO that all mem
bers could be at one of them. The
local provided the ice cream, coffee
and lemonade and the wives provided
the "eats."
There were two athletic programs
and some twenty-four prizes, and a
good social time was enjoyed from
noon until late in the evening.
Several new men are breaking in
as conductors and motormen, and Of
course are wearing the button. Three
of our brothers left this month to join
the colors, and several more will leave
in the near future.
Division 662 will be well represented
in the Labor Day parade, as Brother
Brady, in charge of the committee, has
been working faithfully, and we will
have every man possible in line, with
several banners. Last, but not least,
we will have a float which will be
an old horse car, which was in use
on the streets of Pueblo in the early
days, drawn by team Of mules.
At the regular meeting Of Kansas
City Local No. 764, held in Kansas
City the first of the month, there were
over 1000 in attendance and 266 new
applications were voted upon.
Most every week some city where
the street car men have been working
under unfavorable conditions, report
100 per cent organization.
am enclosing several new sub
scriptions to The Bulletin of members
of Division No. 662, and expect to send
more, for all ought to read the best
union labor paper printed anywhere.

WOMEN ARE REPLACING MEN.

The department Of labor states that
in England that had directly replaced
men in industry and commerce had
increased to 1,442,000. In government
establishments, not including con-
trolled establishments engaged in mu-
nitions work, they formed 36 per cent
Of the total employees; in banking and
finance, 24.6 per cent; in commercial
occupations, 1852 per cent; in engi..
neering firms, TIA per cent, and in all
metal trades, 6 per cent. These fig
ures refer only to the women directly
replacing men. Many others are en-
gagged in work in which they replace
only partially or indirectly men who
have been withdrawn.

BARBER SHOP Is
HIT BY LIGHTNING
Second Big May Storm Also Brings
Lots of Trouble for the Wire
Companies in Kenosha.

Kenosha had its second big May
storm In a week Tuesday night Just
after ten o'clock aud the storm con-
tinued for the greater part of the night
and early morning. The barber shop
on Elizabeth street just west of the
North Western tracks, was struck by
lightning, the entire portion of the
shop being wrecked. judge Carl
son and John Wells, who had entered
the shop just a few seconds before it
was struck were stunned by the light
ming but they were not seriously hurt
The wind blew down trees in several
portions of the city and lightning
wrought havoc to the wire service. The
electric company had many lines out
of order this morning, but by noon, re
CARELESS of strike conditions, it was de-
clared that the damage had been pretty
well cleaned up. Lightning struck a
pole on West Prairie avenue and
sputtering crossed wires called out the
fire department. There was a large
number Of telephones out of service as
a result Of this second attack of the
elements in week, but the damage was
being rapidly repaired this afternoon.
During the big storm one of the plate
glass windows in the Wilson building
on Rowland avenue collapsed and fell
with a crash. Reports of water in eel
lars came in from some parts of the city
but there were no serious complaints.

Wankesha, May 22-Grace Lusk

today and it was regarded as i'm
probable that she would be able to
take the stand in her own defense
at two o clock this afternoon. She
had sat through the trial sessions
this morning deathly pale, her head
in her hands and had listened to
lot of nice things said about her
by character witnesses. Some of
them had told the story of the fam
Gus headache. Grace Lusk had it
this afternoon and on this account
her attorneys seemed to think that
it would be i'll advised to put her
on the stand. 1t was just such
headache that Miss Lusk had on
the Sunday before she shot Mrs.
Mary Newman Roberts. IF Miss
Lusk RECEIVERS her composure later
in the afternoon she will take the
stand.

severe injuries which he received some

NEW PLEA MADE
FOR INCOME TAXES
Collector Paul Henmy Asks Kenosha
People to Pay Government Tax
as Soon as Possible.

Paul .,Hemmy, collector of internal
revenue taxes for the eastern district
of Wisconsin, has sent a special appeal
to the people of Kenosha asking for the
early payment of the government in
come taxes. Many people have mailed
checks to the collector already, but
there is a vast sum outstanding
In his appeal for immediate payment
the collector says:
GIN view of the war conditions, the
government will appreciate prompt
payment of income taxes. Money win
help win the war. The need of it is
constant and urgent for the proper
equipment and care of our boys in
Europe, and those soon to be there.
We are fortunate, in that we are
living in the greatest and best country
in the world Our government must
save the world from despotism. Let
us show our appreciation and thank
fulness by paying, cheerfully and
promptly, the taxes levied by Congress.
On account of the immense amount
of additional work in this office, con-
ditions viii become congested, if tax
payers wait until the last few days to
pay their income taxes, and the much
needed moneys cannot be turned into
the treasury department promptly.
Tt is not expected that taxpayers
viii unduly inconvenience themselves
to make this payment, but every
one should do their bit by paying
as soon as possible.
