Denver labor bulletin., 1918-11-30
News of the Labor Unions
Engineers
By G. w. CRUM.


1t has been some time since we had
report in The Bulletin and possibly
the readers have thought we were dead
or had the "fu," but i am glad to say
that neither is the case. No. l is still
doing business in the same old way.
We have been taking in new members
at every meeting. We are happy to
state that there are very few engi-
neers in Denver now unorganiZed. In
the very near future we hope to be
able to report 100 per cent organiza-
tion.
Several of our members have suf-
fered attacks of the "fu," but up to
this time we have only had two deaths.
Brother Harry r. Williams, 3013 Wei
ton street, died October II, leaving a
wife and one small child. Brother
Louie Schultz died at his home, 81
Galapago street. He is survived by
his widow and five small children.
Brother NJ. J. Stevens, chief engi-
neer at the court house, has been con-
fined to his home for several days
with an attack of tonsilitis. He is
much improved now, and we hope to
see him back at his post in few days.
Brother Thomas b. Foley, chief en-
gineer at the city hall, was taken
very i'll last Saturday morning and
had to be taken home. His condition
is not serious, and he will soon return
to work. His place is being tempor-
arily filled by Brother Jack Whyte.
We received letter few days ago
from Brother Frank Cullin, who is
working at Nitro, w. Va. He says
that work is plentiful and engineers
are scarce. They make rs cents an
hour, and eight hours constitute a
working day. There is plenty of over
time work at time and a half. He
I hopes TO spend Christmas in Denver,
/ leaving Nitro about December 20.
Brother II. a. Bruce, formerly chief
3 engineer at Jackson's Compressor
I Works, has resigned. and is now en-
ploycd as chief engineer at the NJ. W.
4. sanitarium at Colorado Springs.
| We are sorry 10 lose Brother Bruce
| from our midst, but glad to say that
I he will continue his membership with
| No. ].
Engineers and firemen at the water
/ works are now working eight hours a
I day since the city assumed control.
/ So much for municipal ownership.
] Brother Ralph Moser, formerly with
I the city inspection department, has re-
signed his position, and is now con-
nected with The Labor Bulletin. We
are very glad 10 know that when
I Brother Hines wanted real good man
I he came TO No. TO get him.
Brother Thomas De Laney, who had
the misfortune of fracturing both his
feet several weeks ago, is still at the
| hospital. but is able to walk around
some. We hope he will soon be able
to resume his work again.
Brother Albert Schultz. assistan,
engineer at the county hospital, is con-
fined to his home with an attack OF
influenza. He is improving slowly
and the prospects for his speedy re-
covery are good. Brother Ray Wyatt
is filling his position.
At the last meeting of No. / at
tention was called to the fact that
there are sixteen scab barber shops
operating in this city. On motion i,
was ordered that any member of No
/ who is caught patronizing ton
sorial parlor which did not display the
union shop card would be fined IS. We
hope all engineers will take notice OF
this and keep away from these places
as we do not want to be compelled &c
collect this fine.
