Painters

The Painter and Decorator congrat-
ulates scenic artists in New York
theaters who organized and in one
month raised wages to a $42 weekly
minimum and secured agreements
with theatrical managers. "These
visible, material and substantial bene-
fits" says Editor Skemp, more than
compensate the scenic artists for the
loss of dignity they feared might fol-
low their becoming part of the trade
union movement and being associated
with men who are not ashamed to
fresco a barn roof or to camouflage a
tight board fence, provided they re-
ceive the union scale and are not asked
to work more than union hours. We
congratulate the scenic artists. They
are now in a position to present to
the management of the house or
studio convincing arguments in sup
port of their demands for proper
recognition of their skill and labor

Cigarnakers
BY J. w. SANFORD.

At our Tuesday evening meeting
our worthy vice-president, George
Chapeloni, better known among his
shopmates as "Chappie," took up the
gavel on account of the late arrival
of President Peterson, who, on seeing
the able manner in which he conducted
the meeting, permitted him to retain
the chair thruout the evening. We
take this opportunity of announcing
"Chappie' for one of the vice-presi-
dents of the Colorado State Federation
of Labor at the coming referendum
election.
Jacob ]. Lieberman, representing
the Buy Colorado Products League,
was granted the floor and gave US a
very interesting four-minute talk on
why every loyal citizen should buy
home goods. Price and quality, of
course, being equal. The saving of
useless transportation and giving the
space to Uncle Sam'for war shipments
was strong point made by Mr.. Lieb
erman and should be considered by all
Mr.. Whitmeyer, proprietor of the
Overland Bowling alleys, wants to
interest a team from the Cigarmakers
for the coming winter season. The
matter was referred to our commit
tee on sporting events Harry Rosuck
and Tommy Bartle.
Communication was received from
the Workers Cooperative store, To-
Gated at 1927 Lawrence street, solic-
iting our cooperation and patronage.
The successful operation of a store
of this kind would be to the advan-
tage of our members and will be in
, vestigated.
Just received a card from F. A.
Mangini, dated Paris, France, August
25, stating that he is in charge of
transportation work for the Knights
of Columbus war activities and that
he may soon be sent to his native
land, Italy. Fred says that all of
the men are at the front and that
he has no protection against the
hordes of pretty girls left behind. We
know Fred is mad about this.
Charles Hornburg is home again
after a four weeks sojourn in Chey-
enne He says that 25 cents a shot
for booze and 10 cents for a small
glass of worse than near beer has
converted him to the dry side of the
question, almost.
Information received this week from
Tony Bajeck at Plattsmouth, Neb.,
saying that John Uhlik, known as
spot" among fans, met with an ac
cldent last week that resulted IN his
death. Uhlik worked in Denver sew
eral years up to couple of years ago.
The Friedland Cigar Company has
moved to new quarters at 1912 Market
street, where they will put on several
more cigarmakers to supply the in
creasing demand for the NJ. G. o.
brand, which they have taken over
from the Cuban Cigar Company.
All cigarmakers are working full
time just now and some jobs open.
Letter sent out this week to unions
in state calling attention to our label,
also to the three small non-union fac
tories in the city, should be given
the "once over" and complied with
as far as practical.
If you cannot go 100 per cent on
the purchase of label goods go so per
cent. That will help a whole lot, and
the habit is likely to grow.

MAILERs NO. 8.

Mailers Union No. is seriously
handicapped by lack of men. The
draft has taken nearly 25 per cent
of our members and higher wages in
other cities have attracted few. Any
mailer desirous of finding work in this
city should communicate with Secre-
tary-Treasurer Wiker of the News
chapel.
J. H. Robinson is now working on
the Cheyenne, Wyo., Tribune. He took
traveller from No. and deposited it

w. c. Davis is now on the Chey-
enne Leader, but still holds his mem
bership in No. 8.
w. c. Southall and NJ. L. Long of
Atlanta Mailers No. "a have deposited
travellers here recently. Southall is
working on the Post, while Long is on
the Times force.

efficiently by r, w. Berbower and a
crew of three men.

News of the Labor Unions
Printing Trades

Warren Willard, son of Frank Will
lard of the News proof room, who en-
listed in the navy only three months
ago, has been selected by his superior
officers for six months technical
training course in Harvard Univer-
sity He was six months under the
draft age when the first registration
for the national army was made, and
later decided to voluntarily enlist. He
stood an examination with sixty other
young men, five of whom were to be
selected for special college training,
and young Willard stood highest in
the test. He left San Diego Monday
of this week for Boston to enter the
university. Lee Willard, a younger
brother, well known West Denver
High athlete, entered Boulder Tues
day to take an engineering course, eX-
pecting later to join the navy, having
already enrolled for this branch of the
service. Still another brother, Frank
Willard, Jr., now located in Espanalo,
n. NJ, will have his hat in Uncle
Sans army ring at the first oppor-
tunity. Frank Willard, senior, sure
is doing his part to help win the war.
The Western Newspaper Union is
now operating day and night shifts in
its stereotyping department, making
plates for Fourth Liberty loan adver-
tising, war labor service and other
publicity matters for the government.
Sam Frey is foreman of the day shift
and R. NJ Darwood on the night side.
The latter, who has been foreman of
the department for some time, expects
to go to his ranch permanently when
the war work eases up.
Tom Reynolds of the Omaha Stereo-
typers and Electrotypers Union was
elected for the 'steenth time as pres
ident of the Nebraska State Fedora
tion of Labor. His continued re-elec-
tion to leadership of the Nebraska and
Omaha labor movements is remarka-
BILE. In thirty years no man has con-
tinued to hold the confidence of the
unions as Tom Reynolds has. Twenty
years ago a man rarely headed the
movement more than two successive
terms. Usually the second term was
a battle, and the third his finish. But
without half trying the title of presi-
dent trots right along with Tom.-
Omaha Western Laborer.
J. E. Cheely, president of Colorado
Springs Typographical Union No. 80,
sends a renewal and advance sub
scription to The Bulletin and says:
81 wish The Denver Labor Bulletin,
Colorado's great labor paper, contin-
ued success in the field it so ably and
thoroly covers"
A. E. Wahlmark, a former well
known Denver printer, who went to
California two years ago for his
health, writes The Bulletin from Los
Angeles that he has greatly improved
and is now able. to manipulate limo
type with old-time regularity.
G. r. Merritt, foreman of the Chey-
enne Daily Tribune, accompanied by
his wife, was visitor in Denver this
week and made call at The Bulletin
Office to see our model printing plant.
Mr. and Mrs. Merritt were en- route
to their former home, Memphis, Tenn,
to spend rest vacation with relatives
and friends.

Letter Carriers

Last Saturday evening the Labor
Day committee attended a meeting of
Denver Branch No. At, National Asso-
citation of Letter Carriers, and pre-
sented the silver loving cup donated
by the News-Times for the organiza-
tion making the best appearance in
the parade. The meeting was held in
upper Howe hall, 1913 California
street, and large number of men,
bers were present. During the pre-
sentation ceremonies brief addresses
were made by S. P. Oplinger and P j.
Devault in behalf of the committee,
and by Clint c. Houston of The Bulle-
tin, on the great progress being made
in the American labor movement, so
well exemplified in the Labor Day pa
rade here.
President James R. Wheeler on be-
half of the Letter Carriers Associa-
ton, responded to the presentation
speeches, as did Frank NJ. Newman,
prominent member of the organiza-
ton.
This was the first year the Letter
Carriers had ever participated in
Labor Day parade and the members
were as much surprised as they were
gratified when the judges awarded
them first prize for best appearance.
The entire carriers force turned out
in their regular delivery uniforms and
presented fine marching appearance.
The committee of the association
which had charge of the arrangements
for the parade were J. C. Alderman,
chairman; Frank M. Newman, John
H. Rhinehart, George d. Durham, F.
A. Fisher and MI. Butler.

WOOD WORKERS ARE WINNING

Several wood working plants of

MANY WOMEN FILL MEMS JOBS

Thirty-six per cent of the employees
of the government of Great Britain,
outside the munition factories, in jan

an announcement by the department

stepped in to fill the depleted ranks
of industry, and nearly three quarters
of this number work for the govern
