Denver labor bulletin., 1918-10-19
SENSIBLE INDUSTRIAL LAWS BEING
ESTABLISHED BY WAR LABOR BOARD

enforced without fear or. favor Fac
tories, mills, shops and other places
where men and women are employed
have been thoroly inspected and safety
requirements inaugurated- The wom-
ems eight-hour law and the child la
bor law have likewise been rigidly' en-
forced. More wage claims have been
collected for workers from employers
who sought to evade payment during
the past two years than perhaps dur
ing all of the years gone before since
the labor department was created.
State employment bureaus have been
made something more than political
sinecures, because the records show
that more applicants were received
and many times more positions filled
thru these bureaus than during any
previous administration.
Jimmy" holland has made good be-
yond a question of doubt. In a state
ment issued this week by the State
Federation of Labor on candidates for
office, the following reference was
made to Secretary of State Noland:
Honorable James r. holland, who
has served in this position for the past
two years, needs no recommendation
to our membership. In his appoint
ments to the many positions which
affect our membership, he has always
appointed those carrying a union card,
and the enforcement of the many Ia
Dor laws which come under his super
vision has always been satisfactory to
our membership. In view of his rec
ord in the past, we would most strong
ly endorse him for reelection. The
secretary of state is most important to
labor, for under this office comes the
labor department and administration
of labor laws"
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-10-19

business coming under his jurisdic-
ton, should alone be sufficient to in
sure his reelection on November 5.
1t is not the policy of The Bulletin
to boost candidates for Office in its
news columns unless we feel that their
election is for the best interests of all
the people, as well as for the labor
movement, and we are writing this ar-
ticle without the knowledge of Mr..
holland.
The secretary of state is the most
important office to labor to be voted
upon at the coming general election.
The statutes give this Office jurisdic-
ton over the state labor department
and appointment of those who admin
lister labor laws. When holland was
elected secretary of state and ap-
pointed w. L. Morrissey commissioner
of labor, very pronounced change for
the better was noticeable. Not since
the labor department was created has

When the Women's Club of Denver
decided to convert the building on
Glenarm street into United States
Fighters Club for recreation and en-
tertainment of soldiers and sailors,
many interior changes were found to
be necessary. The good and patriotic
women of the club asked officers of
the Building Trades Council if they
could not furnish volunteer workers to
make these improvements.
"Sure; leave that to u.s." said Presi-

Representative Peter Johns. The
matter was taken up among the va

could be placed on the job.
Last Sunday thirty members of the
various building craft unions contrib

making the necessary extensive i'm

right merrily. notwithstanding it was
Sunday. However. the churches were
all closed on account of the health
boards ban on the "fiu," and the ham,
mers. saws and other tools made
merry music in performing a good and
patriotic duty.
