the fraudulent tactics of Moran and

candidate for district vice-president
and member of Pyrolite Local No. 21Sa,
where the meeting was being held.
Pete is an old-time union miner, 52
wears of age. and knows the record of
Pippin. which he exposed before the
large number of miners present. This
threw the Kansas invader into a
frenzy of rage.
Miners Are Indignant.

Lawson and Doyle and others had hur-
ried on to attend another meeting in
further section of Fremont county.
Pippin made brutal fistic attack on
Henretty while coming down the stair
way The older. man was "ganged" by
Pippin and the eN-prizetighter and
badly beaten up before friends could
come to his rescue. Pippin. however.
carried away some lasting evidence
that Pete Hcnretty notwithstanding
his age, could defend himself against
brute force.
There was great indignation among
the miners that the acting district sec
retary should so disgrace his office as
to make n vicious attack on man
nearly twice his age. and gang" him
in such way as to be almost helpless.

The Officers uniforms, which must

In his annual report, just out, Sec-'

"The garment working trades of
the United States are largely COM

men of foreign extraction. More than
any other industry in the United

the same stand as President Wilson,
namely, that the exigencies of the war
should not be made an excuse for vio-
lation of humanitarian laws. 1t was
an unpopular move at first but most
employers have now come TO agree
that it as the proper thing to do.
Woman's Eight-Hour Law.
During the year about $50 COM
plants were registered with the de-
partment of violations of the woman's
eight-hour law. In all of these inves-
legations were made and law observ-
ance promised without prosecution, il
being the policy to secure compliance
with the law rather than establish n
record of punishments in court.
We find the general tendency of in
dustrial institutions is to comply with
the provisions Of the factory inspec-
tion law. This is a decided change
over the attitude Of few years ago.

Seattle's biggest union, Boilermak-

Local No. l0a. is finding the imprac-
ticability of the "one big union" with
10000 members and the sheer physical
unwieldiness of such huge organi-
zation of men. In order to secure
democratic action ns far as possible
in the organizations work and meet
ings, a division of the various crafts
embraced has been found necessary,
and resolution calling for putting
into effect such a plan was passed re
Gently. The division will be along
craft lines, placing in the various units
men engaged in the same work, so
that their interests will be in common
Each section will hold separate
meetings and will have its own execu-
ticc board. altho the whole organiza-
ton of 10000 will maintain but one
set of officers, business agent and as
sistants, financial secretaries and as
sistants, and executive officials. A
meeting of the whole body will be ac-
complished by joint meeting of the
various sections executive boards
once monthly. The divisions will be:

ters, Riveters. Clippers and Calkers,
and all helpers and apprentices in
one grand division. The latter section,
the helpers, will be in itself an enor-
nous organization composed of about
5000 men.

MOFFAT FREIGHTS.
One of the Robbers Caught and Bound
in Engine, But Escapes While Vic

Boarding the caboose of a west
bound Moffat freight train at Cres-
cent, Colo, about thirty-five miles
west of Denver, two masked bandits
Sunday noon held up the members of
the train crew and marched them for
ward to the engine, where they
searched the fireman and engineer and
relieved them of afeir valuables.
Dismounting from the cab, the men
stopped the eastbound train prepara-
tory to robbing the members of the
engine crew.
AS the eastbound train stopped, the
smaller Of the two men started to en-
ter the engine cab. As he did so, Fire
man D. B. Donald, 2535 West Twenty
fifth avenue, and Engineer Jack Quinn
of the Midland hotel, both Of Denver,
grabbed him and dragged him into the
engine cab.
Taking the bandits revolver and
binding him, the men started in pur-
suit of the second bandit, who had run
away. While the members of the two
in the engine cab loosed his bonds and
train crews were in pursuit the man
started after them.
Hating them at the point of a sec
ond gun, the man lined the men up
and his companion searched them, tax
ing three gold watches and some
money. The bandits made their es-
cape after running battle.

No Sweatshop Uniforms.
THE department determined, there

as to wages, inspection, hours, and
sanitation. These standards were in

pointed TO enforce an observance of
these standards. The effect has been
that it is now possible to say that no
uniform worn by an American soldier
is the product of sweatshop toll. and
that as far as the government is con-
cerned in its purchases it is a model

LIBERAL PURCHASE OF
WAR STAMPS IS URGED

Atlanta. Ga, August 15.-With less
than five months remaining in which
to complete the states quota of sales
of war saving stamps, Georgia must
sell at least $17 per capita if it is to
come up to the market.
In view of this fact, the county
chairman in charge of the thrift
stamp sales in the state, are urging
everybody to begin to purchase more
literally from now on in order that
the state may sell its quota.
To win the war, we must save, is
the statement that applies now more
than ever; and every purchase of war
savings stamps aids just that much
in equipping the American nation for
victory.
