the charter of Puritan Local No. 31O9
was revoked. These charters were
ordered revoked by Acting District
President James F Moran of Iowa in
violation of the International Unions
constitution. The reason given for
revoking the Frederick local was
insubordination," and that of Puritan
local for having "signed an agree
ment with the state fuel administra-
tor"
Scheme Failed to Work.
As a matter of fact these charters
were ordered revoked because Ed L.
Doyle held membership in the Fred.
erick local and Moran thought Law
son had transferred his membership
to the Puritan local. This was Moran's
scheme to deprive Lawson and Doyle
from being delegates to the Interna-
tional convention, and serve as an eN-
cuse for depriving them of holding the
offices of president and board member
of the district to which they were re-

Virtual reorganization of the de-
partment of labor has been decided on
by Secretary Wilson as the first move
in plan to establish war labor
administration which will formulate n
broad national labor policy for the
duration of the war.
The step was recommended by n
special labor advisory council named
by Secretary Wilson two weeks ago
to assist him in working out n pro-
gram. A war labor administration
was proposed in the council Of ma
tional defense and approved by Presi-
dent Wilson, who put under Secretary
Wilson's direction all government ac-
tivities relating to labor problems.
Form Joint Board.
Taking up first the most difficult
task confronting him, that of bringing
capital and labor together in an ar
rangemcnt to end strikes, Secretary
Wilson will call on both sides imme-
diately to form joint board to meet
in Washington to agree on general
principles to govern their relations
during the war. Each side will be
asked to name five representatives,
who in turn will select one person
each, representing the general public,
making board of twelve members.
The war labor administration will
be centercd in the reorganized and
enlarged labor department. Secretary
Wilson will be supreme labor admin
istrator and industrial service sec

VERY IMPORTANT POINT.
Court Orders Moran TO Produce
Forged Checks Alleged To Be
Drawn in Favor of Bulletin
Editor, and the Anony-
nous Letters.

Filing of briefs and arguing techni-
cal points of law has delayed a court
hearing of the suit filed in the district
court of Boulder by Clint C. Houston,
editor of The Bulletin. against James
F. Moran of Iowa. demanding dam
ages in the sum of $4,000 for slander
and libel. The plaintiffs attorneys are
Rim & Archibald of Boulder. while
Moran is represented by Barnett &
Campbell of Denver
The suit grew out of the publica-
ton before the State Federation of
Labor convention last August by
Moran of photographs of two checks
in amount of $500 each claimed by
Moran to have been made by Jesse
F. Wellborn, president Of the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Company. in favor of the
editor of The Bulletin. Moran had
caused a contest of Houston's seat as
n delegate from Denver Typographical
Union to be filed with the committee
on credentials. 1t was during a long
harangue opposing the typographical
delegate being seated that Moran pro
duced the photographs, which he said
had been made from original checks,

refuted to the satisfaction of the con-
vention and Houston was seated as
delegate. This. of course, is past his
tory known to the public and labor
movement generally
Last October Rim & Archibald. at
torneys for Houston. presented a brief
and argument asking the court to
compel Moran, thru his attorneys,
Barnett & Campbell, to produce in
court the letters and checks so that
the plaintiffs attorneys might have
the privilege of examining same. This
was vigorously opposed by the defend
ants attorneys.
Judge Robert G. Strong of Greeley.
the presiding district Judge. took this
under advisement and a few weeks
ago entered a ruling in favor of the
plaintiffs attorneys, setting January
10, 1918, as the date when such letters
and checks should be presented for
examination. Mr.. Barnett, who was
representing his law firm in the mat
ter for Moran. left Colorado on that
day, and further continuance was
asked and granted.
The ruling of Judge Strong is an
important victory for the plaintiff. and
the defendant, Moran, must either
produce the checks and letters which
he claims to have, or confess himself
forger, slanderer and libeler before
the public and the labor movement,
and therefore unfit to associate with
decent men.

turned over TO the regularly elected
officers.
