News of the Labor Unions
Meat Cutters

The first annual ball of Meat Cut
ters Union No. 634 will take place
next Wednesday night, February 13,
in Caldwell hall, 1247 Broadway. Con-
siderable work has been done by the
committee to make this the one big
gala event of the labor union social
season, and a good time is assured all
who attend. Tickets are 60 cents per
couple and 80 cents for extra lady.
The dance committee consists of Roy
Coltren, D. Brown, Billy Vaughn, W.
H. Westbrook, Ed C. Pottruff, H. F.
Pettgross, Jesse Grow and Jack
Brooks. Tickets may be purchased
from members of the committee or at
the hall on night of the ball.
Members of the Meat Cutters
Union are sufferers from the meatless
Tuesday ordained by the national food
administrator. The shops are closed
on that day each week and the men
docked one days pay. This week a
committee of the union took the mat
ter up with State Food Administrator
T. B. Stearnes, asking that all this
loss not be imposed upon the en-
ployes. At Tuesday nights meeting
of the Trades and Labor Assembly a
motion prevailed instructing the me-
diation committee to cooperate with
the butchers in an effort to have the
employers go at least fifty-fifty with
the employees in meeting the patriotic
demands of the government.

The United States army recruiting
office in Denver has some amusing in
cidents. One day this week Daniel H .
Rhodes, a machinist from Moark, Ark,
entered the office to enlist Just as
Rhodes was about to take the oath of
allegiance he asked, in the easy man
ner customary to Arkansas travellers:
81 have always been union man and
! want to know whether | work eight
hours day in the army or not"
After having been assured that he
would undoubtedly be allowed to work
at least eight hours out of the twenty
four, he signed up for service with
Uncle Sam.
Peter Doull, member of Denver
Machinists Union No. At, died Jan
uary 20. His widow was entitled to
a mortuary benefit of 5000. A check
for this amount reached Business
Agent Evans office Wednesday morn
ing, February 6, from l. A. of NJ.
headquarters in Washington. This
shows the promptness with which the
International paws burial benefits of
members.

sented District 81, comprising the
state of Colorado, Utah and Idaho, at
the triennial convention of the Jour
neymen Stonecutters Association of
North America at Indianapolis, has
returned to Denver after being snow

The meeting was the largest attended
and most interesting in the history of
the organization.
Samuel Griggs of Cleveland was re-
elected president; Arthur Dougherty
of Chicago, vice-president, and w. w.
Draper retained as secretary-treas-
urer with no opposition. The old eX-
ecutive board was reelected with eX-
ception that Thomas Dougherty de-
feated Walter Thomas in the New
York district.
Henceforth the application fee of
foreigners will be $50, and those COM
ing with transfer card S25, and in
both instances the applicant must de-
clare purpose to become a citizen of
the United States.
A proposition was adopted favoring
abolishment of the air hammer in
cutting stone. This instrument is now
vented by sixty-four The United
States government is now making an
investigation of the injurious effect
on workers. Its constant use is said
to cause paralysis. The A. F. of L.
also is asked to assist in having the
hammer abolished by stonecutting
firms thru state and national legisla-
tive acts.
A referendum vote is to be taken
before September l on a closer affilia-
tion with the Bricklayers and Masons

BARRIERS

BARRIERS in Denver and thruout the
state are considerably exercised over
the maliciously false statements made
by James F. Moran of Iowa, acting
president of District Is, U. NJ. W. of
A, at the recent miners convention
in indianapolis. When John R. Law
son had disclosed the crooked tactics
pursued by Moran and his ''organ-
izers" in an attempt to rape the State
Federation of Labor election, Moran
arose and said that if there was 'any
Justification of return sheets it was
done by Secretary Ed Anderson"
president of the Denver Journeymen
BARRIERS Union. Moran further said
the BARRIERS counted the chairs, porters
and bootblacks in casting their votes
for State Federation candidates. Then
Moran turned to John McLennan for
verifcation of these statements, and
John complacently complied. Thus
the lame duck appointive official of
the miners who came to Colorado to
run the labor movement continues to
get deeper into his own mire.

forming an army.
"lt Is by no means a hopeless task"
an officer working among the peasants
told the correspondent, "but it takes
time. In the meanwhile. the thin line
of the Allies and Russian volunteers
arc holding territory larger than
France and Germany combined against
superior numbers Of Bolshevik troops"
The story of one company Of former
Russian officers, many Of whom are
row privntcs, rivals that of the French
Foreign Legion. Nearly half of them
escaped through the Bolshevik lines to
enlist. Two Of them, once captains. ar
rived recently. They fed from Moscow
late in August when threatened with
death by tho Bolshcviki. They secured
bogus papers and reached point near
Vologda. Then they walked 200 miles
through the swamps and forests to the
Allied lines. The majority Of this COM
pany received highest decorations from
the former Emperor for their bravery

They have stripped these from their
uniforms and are pledged to wear no

was not settled to-day.
The tax on sightseeing autos was
changed from 10 per cent of the gross
receipts to $40 per car. Taxicab own
ers will pay tax of $40 car. The
House finally let them off without any
tax.
The paragraph imposing a tax of
$1,000 on any person carrying on n
liquor business in n loca ity in which
such business is prohibited was
stricken out.
SO far as the Finance Committee is
concerned, the farmer day ceased to

to make him subject to the occupa-

that Congress delay in enacting the
sluggishness Of the loan. So, accord
ing to this view, Congress having
failed to act promptly in she matter of
taxation may have to impose heavier
taxes in consequence.
Committee Fully Awake
The Finance Committee is fully
awaks to the further danger that in
equitable taxation may not only fail to
produce adequate revenues, but may
restrict production. The committee
listened very sympathetically day to
Mark L. Requa. chief of the oil division
Of the fuel administration, when he
pointed out how discouraging the pres
system of taxation is to the OIL pros
pector. Increased oil production is an
urgent war necessity. but even as
amended the present bill, Mr.. Requa
said, was positive deterrent to in
creased production. Even the broad
amendment that the committee has
peen considering ulu not suit MIN, ana
he was asked to draft his own amend
|, ment for the consideration of the com
mittee.
AS automobilists will be asked to keep
their cars motionless as much as pos
iblc, it will be come satisfaction to
them to know that the finance commit
tee voted to-day to cut the users tax
In two. This means that the owner of
small car will pay $ Sand the owner
fthe most powerful car only $25, with
intermediate grades of $40 and s15.
Motorcycles will get off with tax Of
$3.50.
Brokers' Tax Reduced
Another change in the special taxes
reduced the brokers' tax from 500 to
$50. If the broker is the holder of a
membership in an exchange he will
