Denver labor bulletin., 1918-08-31

At meeting held in the Albany
hotel Wednesday night steps were
taken for organizing a Denver branch
of the National Federation Of Federal
Employees. There were about $50
present, all of whom signed the origi-
nal application for a charter which is
expected to reach Denver within ten
days, when another meeting will be
held and permanent organization ef-
fected with election Of officers.
Nearly every branch Of the federal
service in Denver was represented, and
this organization promises to have q
short time. 1t does not include postal
employees, such as the letter carriers,
clerks and railway mail service, as
they have separate organizations.
The meeting Wednesday was held
under the auspices of the organizing
committee of the Denver Trades and
Labor Assembly. Earl R. Hoage pre-
sided and outlined the scope of the
proposed new union, which will have
for it's main purpose the gaining of
unified effort for securing legislative
benefits to federal employees. The
national organization now has a men,
bership of over 100000 and locals
have been established rapidly thruout
the United States.
1t was an enthusiastic meeting. The
room in which the gathering was held
was too small to accommodate all who
desired to gain admission, many being
compelled to stand in the corridor and
listen thru an open door to what
transpired. Brief addresses were de-
livered by John H. Rhinehart, presi-
dent of the Denver Letter Carriers
Association; Michael F. Cannon, pres
ident of the Postal Clerks Union, and
Clint c. Houston, editor of The Dem
yer Labor Bulletin.
All those present signed their names
to the charter application and paid 81
initiation fee. During the next week
this charter application. will be cir

Well Attended Meeting Held Last
Sunday in Carpenters Hall

A meeting of the Denver Labor
Temple Association was held last Sum-
day morning at Carpenters hall, 1947
Stout street, with good attendance
of delegates. Practically all the time
of the meeting was consumed in the
discussion of a constitution and by
laws for the association.
Much interest is being taken by the
unions in the movement recently in
augurated for the erection of Labor
Temple in Denver after the war. 1t
is proposed to make it Liberty Tenn
pie, as most of the stock will be paid
for with Liberty bonds and war saw

members.

Atlanta, New Orleans, st. Louis and
elsewhere, have come back wearing
their union buttons, and no one has
dared say them nay. They are going
to continue to wear their union but
tons. And since the act of joining the
union is no longer to be punished or
questioned, President Konenkamp of
the Commercial Telegraphers Union
sees no reason why he should not now
go out and organize the whole force,
just as has been done by the metal
trades and building trades organiza-
tions in war industries. Mr.. Burle-
son has backed down. His broom
didn't work. Ten per cent advance in
to organize was the issue, and it was
settled right.
Comfort for Postal Employees.
This victory of the Telegraphers has
brought great comfort to the Fedora
ton of Postal Employees, the Letter
Carriers Association, and all the
branches of the mail service. They see
the day coming rapidly nearer when
they, with the Telegraphers, will not
in as an organization, to have part
dustrial democracy which Walsh SO
clearly points out as the big thing to
be won..
Fight Thomas Amendment.
AS these lines are written, Congress
is fighting over the scheme put for
ward by Senator Thomas Of Colorado,
and SO bitterly denounced by Frank
Morrison, secretary Of the A. F. Of
L., as an insult to organized labor
the amendment to the man-power bill
which would virtually forbid strikes
of workers in war industries during
the war.
At the same moment, the $4,000
workers in the war industries at
Bridgeport, Conn, are in a turmoil Of
protest at the failure of the employer
members of the war labor board to
permit the rendering of a decision on
their conditions before the man-power
legislation shall be passed. Many Of
the men at Bridgeport fear that the
award is being delayed in order to
force upon them a work-or-fight law
that will permit no protest at an
award which falls short Of a living
wage and union recognition.
Walsh ut Bridgeport.
Frank p. Walsh, accompanied by
John Fitzpatrick, president Of the Chi
cago Federation Of Labor, is now in
Bridgeport, meeting the workers and
reasoning with them. Walsh asks
them to be patient, to stay on the job,
and he promises that the war labor
board can give them nothing short Of
fair award. He does not say that
the millennium is at hand, or that the
award Of the six men representing
capital and six representing labor will
be 100 per cent labor decision; but
he says that it will 60 far in advance
Of what they can get by any other
road. And one thing is assured
there will be recognition Of the shop

Will Not Paralyze Labor.
Suppose Congress does enact law
which would cancel the exemption Of
any worker who went on strike, as
proposed in the Thomas amendment.
It is scarcely to be supposed that that
law would paralyze the labor move
nnent. Workers would continue to
send their demands to the war labor
board, and to urge prompt action.
They would take more interest in see
ing that their demands were pressed,
They would hold the local plant su-
perintendents more directly account

Still with one heart to pray,
"God bless our land alway,
This land Of Thine"
Mighty in brotherhood,
Mighty for God and good,
Let US be Thine. I

Here let glad plenty reign;
Here let none seek in vain

But love forever blend

Proud in all nations sight,
Lowly in Thine
One in all noble fame,
Still be our path the same,
Onward in freedoms name,
Upward in Thine.

I'm addition to this, factories man

kept in operation so that the men
who are fighting for us may not be
handicapped by lack of adequate
equipment. But in view Of the fact
that there are so many factories ir
Connecticut which are working on
government orders it is getting to be
increasingly difficult to keep them
supplied with coal enough for their
operation without robbing homes and
public utilities of their necessary sup
plies.
"It now appears, therefore, that it
is going to be extremely difficult to
secure adequate supplies of coal for
the operation of factories and power
plants which are not working on gov
eminent orders, and the fuel admins
tration therefore recommends very
strongly to suchm anufacturers that
for their own protection they reduce
their consumption of coal by at least
Is per cent. of the normal 1t is be-
1ieved that it would cause less hand
ship for such factories as these to
shorten their hours of labor or re-
duce the number of their working
days than to keep UP their present
rate Of operation for a. time and be
forced to close entirely in the near
future.
'~The fuel administration wishes to
express it's appreciation of the spirit
of cooperation already shown by a
number of Connecticut Industries IN
voluntarily curtailing their hours OF
operation and thereby conserving the
slender coal supply in answer to pre-
vious appeals. A spirit OF co-opera-
ton and patriotism has been shown
in so many cases that it would be i'm

USING OF COAL
Recommends Cutting Of
Fuel Is Per Cent. AS
War Measure

Hartford, Jan. 15-Thon1as w. Rus
sell. United States Fuel Administra-
tor for Connecticut and chairman of
the coal committee of the Connecu-
cut State Council of Defense, issued
a statement today strongly recon-
mending ALI manufa cturers who are
not working on government orders to
reduce their consumption of coal by
at least rs per cent. The recon-
mendation is followed by the signifi-
cant statement that cit would cause
less hardship for such factories as
these to shorten their hours Of labor
or reduce the number of their work
ing days than to keep up their pres
ent rate of operation for a time and
be forced to close entirely in the
near future
Mr. Russell also warns people who
are disregarding the federal order in
regard to lightless nights that con-
tinuance Of their present attitude IS
likely to result in the entire cutting
off of their supply of electricity
The statement follows:
In view of the present critical
coal supply situation and the fact that
it appears likely the situation will
continue critical for some time to
come. the United States Fuel Admin
istration for Connecticut thinks that
a statement regarding the present
| outlook is due the people of the state.
The first consideration of the admin
istration is that the homes of the
people be kept warm and that nos"
