by G. B. Cuneo, still living here at the
age of Sc.
Mr.. Noce himself is among the pio-
neers. A native of Genoa, Italy, he
came to this country in the early SOS.
He has for forty-seven years been a
member of the International Typo
graphical Union and is a pensioned
member of that organization. He has
''stuck type" for every newspaper pub
lished in Denver. Thirty-seven years
ago he Joined Denver Typographical
Union by transfer card, and in 1912
he organized the Colorado Pioneer
Printers Association, in which none
are eligible for membership but men
who were engaged in the printing and
newspaper business here before 1886.
He is also the father of Colorado's
Columbus day bill, and in 1885 founded
the first Italian newspaper in Denver,
La Stella.
The history of the Italian people is
published in the English language.
The military features of the book,
especially those which bear on Ital-
ians already in the military service
of the United States government, have
been given special care-in fact, the
publication date was delayed in order
that they might be completed. The
authors son, Captain Angelo Daniel
Noce, graduate of the West Point
honor class of April, 1917, is now in
the army service as field engineer and
bears the unique distinction at %
years of being the youngest Ameri-
can captain of engineers. Seven other
near relatives are also in the service.
According to the history, there are
about $4,000 Italian citizens in Colo
RADIO, about 5000 of whom live in and
around Denver.

NEW JERSEY LABOR
HAVE AGREED ON
POLITICAL ACTION
SEEK NOMINATION OF
UNIONS FRIENDS.
Fifty-eight Trades, Eighteen State
Organizations, Thirteen City Cen
tral Unions, Twelve Building
Trades Councils Represented.

NEWARK, N. j., April 15.-Five
hundred representatives of organized
labor in New Jersey, in state conven-
ton April 7, unanimously adopted
loyalty resolutions and platform of
principles of public policy" upon
which labor will stand in the politi-
cal campaigns and work together to
defeat its enemies and reward its
friends in public office.
Political action, it was decided, will
mean efforts to secure the nomination
in primaries of friends of labor-but
not as the action of labor unions as
such.
Among the demands included in the
platform are public ownership of pub
lie utilities; at least 80 per cent tax
on excess of profits; establishment by
the state of workmen's health insur
ance, without profit and with provis-
ions for sickness prevention; opposi-
tion to a constabulary, and increasing
the workmen's compensation scale to
two-thirds of wages.
The meeting was an expanded ses-
sion of the joint state labor legisla-
tive board, including the four railroad
brotherhoods, which carries on the leg
islative work at the state capital.
There were represented fifty-eight diff
ferent trades, eighteen state organi-
cations, thirteen city central unions,
and twelve building trades councils.

FLASHES FROM
AN A D d r E SIS BY
JOSEPHUS DANIELS.

In the last analysis, it is the man
who labors, who bears the heat and
burden, who chiefly wins or loses any
great war
In this war, in it's work, in its toll,
in it's sacrifices, there is no monopoly
to any class.
Men in overalls are wearing a uni
form as honorable as the men who
march down the streets in khaki
No mans dollar is worth anything
if this war is lost, and therefore,
profteering is not only crime, but
a comedy.
Evils have grown up among us;
privilege has been enthroned, and ia
voritism and unequal opportunity
have cast a blight upon world democ-
racy. We shall end it with this war.
Labor's fighting to win the war for
democracy, and when it is won it
will win its war.
Let 5000 men strike tomorrow. 1t
is worth scarehead in every paper in
America, and many people-without
refection-hold up their hands and
say that labor is not doing it's part
to win the war, when 100000 of
them are working day and night.
There is no news IN diligent toiler.

THOMAS J. MOONEY
SENTENCE is AGAIN
DELAYED COURT
WILSON REQUESTED Gov
ERNOR TO INTERVENE.
Defendant Recently Denied New
Trial, but Attorney Thinks There
Is Chance to Stop Pro-
nouncing Judgment.

The re-sentencing of Thomas J.
Mooney, preparedness parade bomb
plot defendant of San Francisco, to
pay the death penalty, has been post
poned by Superior Judge Franklin
Griffin until April 27, at the request
of his attorney, Maxwell McNutt, who
stated that he thought there still was
some remedy which would avail to
stop the pronouncing of judgment.
1t is presumed that McNutt referred
to the likelihood of the granting of a
reprieve by Governor Stephens. 1t
had been rumored that the governor,
altho requested to intervene by Presi-
dent Wilson, would not act until after
Mooney had been again sentenced.
Mooney recently was denied new
trial by the state supreme court.

ideals of justice and humanity and
liberty, the principle of the free self
determination of nations, upon which
all the modern world insists, can play
no part. They are rejected for the
ideals of power, for the principle
that the strong must rule the weak,
that trade must follow the flag,
whether those to whom it is taken
welcome it or not, that the peoples of
the patronage and overlordship of
those who have the power to en-
force it.
That program once carried out,
America and all who care or dare to
stand with her must arm and prepare
themselves to contest the mastery of
the world-a mastery in which the
rights of common men, the rights of
woman and of s-i who are weak, must
for the time being be trodden under
foot and disregarded and the old, age
long struggle for freedom and right
begin again at its beginning. Every
thing that America has lived for and
loved and grown great to vindicate
and bring to glorious realization will
have fallen in utter ruin and the gates
of mercy once more pitilessly shut
upon mankind!
The thing is preposterous and i'm
possible; and yet is not that what
the whole course and action of the
German armies has meant wherever
they have moved? l do not wish,
even in this moment of utter disillu-
sionment, to judge harshly or un-
righteously. l judge only what the
German arms have accomplished with
IMPLYING thoroness thruout every
fair region they have touched.
tN do
self, l am ready, ready still, ready
even now, to discuss fair and just
and honest peace at any time that it
is sincerely proposed-a peace in
which the strong and the weak shai
fare alike. But the answer, when l
proposed such peace, came from the
German commanders in Russia and /
cannot mistake the meaning of the
answer.
l accept the challenge. l know that
you accept it. All the world shall
know that you accept it. 1t shall ap-
pear in the utter sacrifice and self
forgetfulness with which we shall give
all that we love and all that we have
to redeem the world and make it fit
for free men like ourselves to live in.
This now is the meaning of all that
we do. Let everything that we say,
my fellow countrymen, everything
that we henceforth plan and accom-
plish, ring true to this response till
the majesty and might of our con-
certed power shall fill the thought
and utterly defeat the force of those
who flout and misprize what we honor
and hold dear.
Germany has once more said that
force, and force alone, shall decide
whether justice and peace shall reign
N nf
as America conceives it or dominion
as she conceives it shall determine the
destinies of mankind. There is,
therefore, but one response possible
from US: Force, force to the utmost,
force without stint or limit, the
righteous and triumphant force which
shall make right the law of the world
and cast every selfish dominion down
in the dust

WOMAN'S 8-HOUR
LAW CAUSE OF
MANY QUERIES
COMMISSIONER SECURES
OBSERVANCE.
Law Is Penal One and Must Be
Construed Strictly and Only
Applies to Establishments
Named in Statute.

Deputy Labor Commissioner w. L..
Morrissey receives many anonymous
inquiries and complaints concerning
the woman's eight-hour law, to which
he is unable to reply, not having the
names or addresses of the writer's.
The latest is from "a Lady Barber"
who complains of the long hours she
is compelled to work. She wonders
if the law applies to women in all
trades"
The attorney general wrote an opin-
ion on the law, in which he states

to establishments named in the
statute.
The law makes it unlawful to work
females more than eight hours during
any twenty-four in any and all man
ufacturing, mechanical and mercantile
establishments, laundries, hotels and
restaurants.
The commissioner is doing his best
to secure law observance and has been
very successful in his efforts, but
cannot extend the provisions of the
law to industries to which it does not
apply. Every complaint and inquiry
is given attention, but it is impossi-
BILE to answer questions asked by per-
sons who do not sign their names.
There seems to be fear that the
names will reach the employer, but
this is unfounded, for all matters of
such. nature are held strictly conf

MINERS ARE IDLE.

State Labor Commissioner w. L..
Morrissey is in receipt of letter
from Governor George w. Hunt of
Arizona, in which the governor con-
firms the reports that there are many
idle miners in the Globe Miami dis
trict and that there is no work for
men brought into the district because
the mines must, under the agreement
which ended the recent strikes, give
preference to former employees. Gov
ernor Hunt declares the migration of
miners into Arizona should be discour-
aged. Mr.. Morrissey asked Governor
Hunt for information regarding the
mine labor situation following the ap-
pearance in Colorado of an agent of
the Arizona mines who is seeking to
induce miners to go to Arizona.

1.-The Early History of Italians in
Denver" is the title of book just
off the press. The author, Angelo
Noce, for thirty-seven years men,
ber of Denver Typographical Union,
is an authority of high degree on the
subject of which he writes.
The work is now at the state mu-
scum, in the hands of Jerome C.
Smiley, historian and curator, for re-
view.
Much of Noce's historical work was
done in cooperation with Joseph G.
Brown, the well known newspaper
writer, now attached to the official
staff of the Colorado state library.
Absence of all ceremony is notice
able in Mr. Noce's work.
Over 700 Italians are included in
the list of men eligible in Denver un-
der the selective draft, according to
figures prepared by Noce. Of this
number a great many are already in
the service, and more are being added
to the honor roll every month.
The book, in which full list of
names of the Italian registrants will
be published, is virtually ready for
the press. Its compilation has occu-
pied the last four years of its authors S
life, and is as complete as infinite re-
search can make it.
A large portion is taken up with
sketches of the Italian pioneers in
Colorado. The first Italian settlers,
according to the authors investiga
tions, were the Garbarino brothers,
Joseph, Antonio, Louis and Charles,
who came to this state in 1859. The
first Denver settler was A. Capelli,
who was followed within few weeks

PRESIDENT WILSON'S BALTIMORE SPEECH

Fellow Citizens: This is the ami
versary of our acceptance of Ger
many's challenge to fight for our right
to live and be free, and for the sacred
rights of freemen everywhere. The
nation is awake. There is no need to
call to it. We know what the war
must cost, our utmost sacrifice, the
lives of our fittest men, and, if need
be, all that we possess.
The loan we are met to discuss is
one of the least parts of what we are
called upon to give and to do, tho
in itself imperative. The people of
necessity of it, and are ready to lend
to the utmost, even where it INVOLVES
sharp skimping and daily sacrifice
to lend out of meager earnings. They
will look with reprobation and con-
tempt upon those who can and will
not, upon those who demand higher
rate of interest, upon those who think
of it as a mere commercial transac-
ton. l have not come, therefore, to
urge the loan. / have come only to
give you, if l can, more vivid con-
ception of what it is for.
The reasons for this great war, the
reason why it had to come, the need
to fight it thru, and the issues that
hang upon its outcome, are more
clearly disclosed now than ever be-
fore. 1t is easy to see just what this
particular loan means, because the
cause we are fighting for stands more
sharply revealed than at any previous
crisis of the momentous struggle. The
man who knows least can now see
plainly how the cause of justice
stands, and what the imperishable
thing he is asked to invest in. Men
in America may be more sure than
they ever were before that the cause
is their own, and that, if it should be
lost, their own great nations place
and mission in the world would be lost
with it.
l call you to witness, my fellow
countrymen, that at no stage of this
terrible business have l judged the
purposes of Germany Unexpectedly.
/ should be ashamed in the presence
of affairs so grave, so fraught with
the destinies of mankind thruout all
the world, to speak with turbulence,
to use the weak language of hatred or
vindictive purpose. We must judge
as we would be judged. have sought
to learn the objects Germany has in
this war from the mouths of her
own spokesmen, and to deal as frankly
with them as l wished them to deal
with me. l have lald bare our own
ideals, our own purposes, without re-
serve or doubtful phrase, and have
asked them to say as plainly what it
is that they seek.
We have, ourselves proposed no in
justice, no aggression. We are ready,
whenever the final reckoning is made,
to be just to the German people, deal
fairly with the German power, as
with all others. There can be no diff
ference between peoples in the final
Judgment, if it is indeed to be
righteous judgment. To propose any
thing but justice, even-handed and
dispassionate justice, to Germany at
any time, whatever the outcome of the
war, would be to renounce and dis
honor our own cause, for we ask
nothing that we are not willing to
accord.
1t has been with this thought that

ALL BOYS SHOULD REGISTER

wants to know as quickly as possible
the number Of Colorado boys who have
registered for farm work this sum
mer. This information must be sent
to Washington within the next few
days so that the national government
can tell what food production Colo

up to the boys to register at once.

that those who have not done so and
can should enlist promptly with the

l have sought to learn from those who
spoke for Germany whether it was
justice or dominion and the execution
of their own will upon the other ma
tions of the world that the German
leaders were seeking. They have an
swered-answered in unmistakable
terms. They have avowed that it was
not justice, but dominion and the un-
hindered execution of their own will.
| The avowal has not come from Ger
many's statesmen. 1t has come from
her military leaders, who are her real
rulers. Her statesmen have said that
they wished peace, and were ready to
discuss its terms whenever their op-
ponents were willing to sit down at
the conference table with them. Her
present chancellor has said-in indefi-
mite and uncertain terms, indeed, and
in phrases that often seem to deny
their own meaning, but with as much
plainness as he thought prudent
that he believed that peace should be
based upon the principles which we
had declared would be our own in the
final settlement.
gates spoke in similar terms; pro-
fessed their desire to conclude a fair
peace and accord to the peoples with
whose fortunes they were dealing the
right to choose their own allegiances.
But action accompanied and followed
the profession. Their military mas
ters, the men who act for Germany
and exhibit her purpose in execution,
proclaimed very different conclu-
sion. We cannot mistake what they
have done-in Russia, in Finland, in
the Ukraine, in Rumania. The real
test of their justice and fair play
has come. From this we may judge
the rest.
They are enjoying in Russia a
cheap triumph in which no brave or
gallant nation can long take pride
A great people, helpless by their own
act, lies for the time at their mercy.
Their fair professions are forgotten.
They nowhere set up justice, but
everywhere impose their power and
exploit everything for their own use
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and the peoples
of conquered provinces are invited to
be free under their dominion!
Are we not justified in believing
that they would do the same things
at their western front if they were
not there face to face with armies
whom even their countless divisions
cannot overcome? If, when they have
felt their check to be final, they should

with regard to Belgium and France
and Italy, could they blame US if we
concluded that they did so only t
assure themselves of a free hand in
Russia and the East?
Their purpose is, undoubtedly, to
make all the Slavic peoples, all the
free and ambitious nations of the Bal
tic Peninsula, all the lands that Tur-
key has dominated and misruled, sub
ject to their will and ambition, and
build upon that dominion an empire
of force upon which they fancy that
they can then erect an empire of gain

pire as hostile to the Americas as to
the Europe which it will overawe-
an empire which will ultimately mas

the Far East
