Editor Denver Labor Bulletin:

| Editor Denver Labor Bulletin:
| Dear Sir and Brother: / have be-
fore me now on my desk a copy of a
disgraceful pamphlet sent out over this
district by that would-be union man,
James F. Moran, acting president of
the fast decaying Union of Pie Eat
ers of America, denouncing The Den
yer Labor Bulletin. For what? Be
cause it is fast taking root among the
coal diggers of Colorado and is re-
spected by all true thinking people
for it's fearless attitude toward graft
ers and parasites, who, like leeches,
are trying their best to hold on and
bleed the poor worker a little while
| longer. But their game is up. The
Independent Miners Union has come
to stay. No more stolen elections; no
more importation of grafters into
Colorado; no more self-paying dele
! gates to national conventions to bend
the knee before their czar. We stand
! out bravely for justice to our class
and will grow and grow, until the
| United Mine Workers are thing of
the past.
/ want this man Moran to come to
the front; show US miners in Colo
RADIO what he has done. His expenses
have been paid by the rank and file,
and yet he is afraid to mingle among
the membership. He has never formed
single local union in this state, was
defeated in his home state (Iowa) for
office and thru crooked methods has
caused many local unions to burn their
charters and supplies, and to call
aloud for another union to be formed.
How many locals have his follow
ers into this state formed? / can say
that in Southern Colorado they were
formed by the rank and file. Many
locals would not even permit these
pie eaters to enter their union halls,
and yet he has the brazen nerve to
cast insults at Colorado's pioneers in
the labor movement.
/ want to inform Mr.. Moran that
formed the first local of miners in
Colorado and since that time have
formed more local unions than all
the paid pie eaters ever imported into
this state. Any miner in Southern
Colorado will vouch for this. / built
up one local to 800 members and was
the president all thru the long coal
strike of 1903, was president of White
City Local ludlow, the tented town
of striking miners in 1914, and after
the national called that strike off and
left women yes, and hundreds of little
children, hungry and barefooted in the
dead of winter under snow covered

ABSENCE OF BOOZE
MAKE IDLE COURTS
DENVER GRAND JURY AD-
JOURNS AND GOES HOME.
District Attorney Foley and Judge
Mullins of Criminal Court Find
Little Official Business on
Hand in Dry" City.

Two years prohibition in Denver
has kept the city so decent that there
is nothing for its grand jury to in
vestigate, nothing for Judge John /.
Mullins in the criminal court to try,
and nothing for the criminal lawyers
of the city to argue about.
What shall we take up frst?" the
foreman asked.
Search me-" answered District At
torney William E. Foley.
They agreed there was nothing to
investigate, so the grand jury took a
recess, subject to the call of the fore
man. That call has not yet mate
rialized.
Last Saturday Judge Mullins dis
missed the regular venire in the West
Side criminal court, with orders to
Clerk George McLachlan not to call
the next panel until April l. There
are no criminal cases awaiting trial,
except few continued ones. Hereto
fore, new venire panel has been
summoned every two weeks, its term
of service continuing until the next
venire was summoned. But with no
cases to try, Judge Mullins will save
the county the expense of calling a
venire when there is nothing for it
to do.
Two years ago, before Colorado
went dry, two judges were kept busy
most of the time in the West Side
court. When a grand jury was sworn
it invariably returned long list of
indictments.
The last three or more grand juries
have returned no indictments.
For, with the passing of Bacchus
from Denver, his twin sisters, Crime
and Vice, went with him, say the
judges of Denver's courts.

DAD WAS WISE.

When the conversation turned to
the subject of romantic marriage this
little anecdote was volunteered by ii.
NJ. Asker, a North Dakota politician:
$50 you were married ten years
ago. Took place in the church, i
suppose, with bridesmaids, flowers,
cake and the brass band 2"
mo; it was an elopement."
"An elopement, Ell? Did the girls
father follow you?"
Eyes, and he has been with US ever
since" = Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele-
graph.
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-03-30

The reason why bachelor is better
natured than married man is because
a bachelor is afraid some woman
might try to cheer him up if he was
gloomy and might land him during the
cheering up process.

AS much as she dislikes flippancy,
any woman would rather have a man

would like just once to ask her hus-
band for something that he could af-

CAREFUL WATCH
TO BE KEPT ON
WATER SUPPLY
Municipal League Will Co.
operate in Every Way With
Commissioner Hassler

Members of the executive commit
tee of the Municipal League at a spec
cial meeting this afternoon at the
Harrisburg Club decided to keep in
touch with the local water depart
ment situation until all danger of a
repitition of the shortage conditions
of the'last few weeks will be averted.
The committee will cooperate in
every way with Commissioner Sam
uel +. Hassler. superintendent of the
department, i'm his efforts to have
necessary improvements made. The
plan to have expert help in solving
the water supply and cost problems,
and to have a capable engineer in
charge of the department under DR..
Hassler was approved.
The seriousness of the situation
and the need of immediate action to
relieve conditions was largely re-
sponsible for the step taken by the
committee in meeting to-day and de-
Gliding to help city authorities to
provide for the water department
improvements it was said.

The Kreuse Zeitung o. Berlin
prints an abusive article regarding
the strikers who, it says, are behaV-
ing as though on a holiday. Great
numbers of them, according TO the
newspaper, gather at kempnskis a
famous Berlin restaurant and 1t is
the class of which the strikers form
a part that makes up u large pro-
portion of the patrons of the opera,
the most frivolous theaJers, the vine
shops, moving picture houses ami
dance and music halls.
Declaration of martial law in the
great ports of Hamburg and Bremen
and a lack of definite news concern
ing the progress of the strike move
. ment in Germany indicate the posi-
. bility that the authorities have taken
sstern measures TO deal with rhe dis
contented workmen. Belated reports,
however, show the movement has
spread widely since Monday.
Some correspondents in Holland
believe the situation has grown worse
owing both to the efforts of the Ger
man government to min:Tize the inn
portance of the strike and to the
scarcity CT news. While "A report from
Copenhagen says that all the Social
list leaders have been summoned to
Berlin to discuss political questions
advices received in Amsterdam arc
to the effect that Chancellor Won
Hertling, following the example of
Mini.ter of the Interior Walraff. re-

Z Fatal Clash With Police

clash between the strikers and the

reported to have occurred n other
sections as well as in the suburbs of

~. HSS9r7dkeR PreSS -,l-...a
Will the Alaeyican. Army in
France, Thursday, Jan. S1.-Condi-
tions were quiet in the American
sector all day to-day because of the
fog, which tonight showed no sign
of abating. Beyond few shots from
both sides at registered targets there
was very little artillery firing. There
was virtually no infantry activity.
Additional details of yesterdays
raid show only the alertness of the
platoon in the trenches nearest the
listening post raided prevented the
enemy from entering the trenches
and, perhaps, capturing prisoners.
AS soon as the barrage fire lifted
the platoon came out of its dugouts
ana stepped to the firing platforms.
Their rifle fire held off superior
number of Germans who tried to
approach. When the enemy saw the
Americans were determined to hold
the position they withdrew into the
fog. Later number of bloody
enemy rifles and other equipment
were found beyond the American
positions.
American officers at the front
have come into possession of docu-
ments said to have been taken from
Germans opposite our positions and
which deal with the treatment to
be accorded prisoners. The docu-
Inents say all prisoners, including
commissioned and noncommissioned
officers, after being captured are
to be kept in cages for four days
without food and compelled to stand
all the time. At the end of the four
day period only small quantities OF
food are 20 be given.
Although. definite information on
the point is lacking, some American
officers to-day expressed the belief
that the order resulted from the diff
iiculties the Germans probably ex-
perlenced in extracting information
from the first American prisoners
captured in November. Such treat
ment of prisoners, it is felt, could be
designed only to make them give up
military information.

Italians from their new,y-won posi-
ton on Monte Di Val Bella, the war

AS the Italian brigades which took
Fart i'm the fighting reassembled, il
developed that their losses were
comparatively small, the aggregate
being considerably less than the
number of prisoners taken from the
enemy.
But the enemy losses were ex.
tremely heavy as is shown by the
number of dead left on the field and
the reports of prisoners. 1t is esti-
mated that the total enemy loss
without counting the prisoners taken
by the Italians was between 5000
and 5000.
The result of the action is having
an effect on the morale of the en-
emy, according to reports of prison
ors. The Austrian winter campaign
in the mountains has stopped entire
ly as it was concluded that the diff
culties of snow and ice and the i'm.
terruption of roads and transport
supplies had made operations i'm
possible. These conditions were eX-

Rather than let Harrisburg homes

be cut off from the city's Industrial
plants, Ross a. Hickok. fuel admin
istrator for Dauphin county, del
clared to-day.
While Mr., Hickok declared that
he did not believe it would be neces-
sary to divert fuel from industries,
he said the action would be taken
with the approval of State Admins
traitor Potter in case of extreme
need.
Warned in Philadelphia that the
coal situation in this state may be-
come acute during the next two
weeks, Mr.. Hickok will take eX-
treme measures, if necessary, to pro-
vide heat in Harrisburg homes
Conditions Are Bad
In Mechanicsburg, it is claimed,
that more than a hundred families
are without fuel, and depend upon
more fortunate neighbors for a
meager supply of coal. Similar con-
ditions exist, it is said. in other
towns in this section. Railroad men
agree that another severe snow
storm within the next week will dis
turb all plans for coal relief.
Following visit to Philadelphia,
Ross A. Hickok, local fuel admin
istrator, announced that more than
forty cars of coal will be started for
Harrisburg to-day or tomorrow.
This coal will be used to relieve
distress in private homes. Ten cars
of bituminous will h delivered to
local public utilities companies.
Nearby points in the county will
also be relieved with shipments from
the operators.
Conditions Are Bad
Conditions in the city during the
rest of the week will remain acute
