Our esteemed and worthy vice-pres-
ident, George Chapeloni, was obliged
on account of the absence of Presi-
dent Peterson, to take up the reins of
government at our last meeting, WELD
ing the gavel in his usual efficient
manner.
Several applications from different
parts of the country asking for in
crease in their bills We're acted upon
favorably.
The unfortunate matter of our Sc
cession element in Chicago and New
York was given some attention at our
meeting. None of the cities west of
Chicago have so far been affected,
and it is hoped that an early adjust
ment of their difficulties will be made
which will be in the interest of union
ism in our trade.
Ed L. Doyle was granted the floor
to more fully impress upon our men,
bers the necessity of pledging them
selves to certain amount of war saw
ings stamp investments the balance
of this year. Ed is a convincing
talker and was attentively listened to.
Blank forms sent out from our in
ternational office for record of pur-
chases of first, second and third Lib
erty bonds by our members will be
taken in charge by our officers and
shop committees and definite figures
furnished for this record.
Tony Vokolek reports that he had
the misfortune to break one of his
fingers while at work on his ranch
near Littleton one day last week. The
nature of his business, however, will
not interfere with his work for any
length of time. He will draw full sick
benefit in the meantime.
We still have about half dozen
members on the out of work list, but
prospects are good for all to be at
work soon.
Two of the non-union machine, cheap
labor cigar factories that have been
operating here in the past year or so
have gone out of business for want of

Our May report shows a loss of
three members over the April report,
which is very good, considering that

placing thousands of workers in a
position where they can now develop
themselves as American citizens.

WOMEN CONDUCTORS STRIKE.

The Wisconsin Gas and Electric
Company has been shocked by walk
out of women employed as conductors
on it's street cars. Kenosha was among
the first to employ women conductors
and now these women have joined
with 100 male employees who stuck
to enforce a wage demand of 35
cents an hour. The distressing fea-
ture of this situation is that the prob
lem of finding a conductor who will
work for low wages and who refuses
to strike is still unsolved.

BORING TUNNEL
MOSER AND MITCHELL RETURN
FROM WASHINGTON MISSION.
Denver Representatives Well Received
and Prospects for Government Ac-
tion Promising in the Future.

Helping to bore the Moffat tunnel
thru James Peak is a job worth while.
1t means more employment and
greater wealth for Denver, the state
OF Colorado and the assurance of an
unfailing supply of coal. Hence, the
mission which recently visited Wash
lngton to present this matter before
the National Railroads administration
were in the nature of pathfinders to
prosperity and comfort.
Ralph G. Moser and J. H. Mitchell.
who represented the Trades and Labor
Assembly on this mission of represen-
tative citizens, returned to Denver
Tuesday, well pleased with the prog
ress made. After the hearing before
the railroad administration the labor
members of the group sought the CO.
operation of President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor. Then
they had conference with William
S. Carter, president of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen, who represents labor on the
administrative board of the National
Railways.
"Mr. Carter is well acquainted with
the Colorado railroad situation" said
Moser, in talking to a representative
of The Bulletin. Ellis business has
called him to this state frequently, and
he spent months vacation hunting
and fishing in Routt county a few
years ago, has Travelled over every
foot of the Moffat road, and knows
its Importance to this community. He
assured Brother Mitchell and myself
that he would do all he could to adj
vance the interests of the people of
Denver. Of course, before the govern
ment gives serious consideration to the
tunnel proposition it will be neces-
sary for Director McAdoo to take over
control of the Moffat road. This has
been prevented or delayed by reason
Of the existing receivership. l be-
lieve this will be done shortly and
then the boring of the tunnel has a
good chance of receiving favorable
consideration at Washington"
