Rulers Are Reading
 Signs of the Times

1DY making concessions to the peo- lO pie whom they have duped into the greatest of all wars, will the mili- tary leaders of Germany and Austria be able to stem the tide which has set so strongly against them? Events swiftly forming will give an answer to this question.
 The population of Germany was made a pawn in the game in which the Kaiser and the militarists played for world dominion When the war began civilian was treated as an in- ferior by man in uniform, and felt himself so. The militarists were su- preme-in absolute control of Ger many's people and resources.
 Both have been squandered with a lavish hand. The man power of Ger many has woefully deteriorated, there is 8 shortage of the bare necessities of life and materials essential to cary rying on the war and the government is bankrupt-unless it confiscates the newly acquired fortunes of it's war profiteers.
 The Kaiser and his advisers in Ger many are expanding toward the com- mon people as they have never done before. The same thing is happen ing in Austria.

RADIO by acting officials, organizers
and representatives of the Interna-
tional Executive Board, United Mine
| Workers of America, are arousing in
| dignation among union miners thru
out the country. Several letters from
other mining districts expressing con-
demnation of Moran, Pippin, Hayes
and their hired disturbers, and indicat-

| ing viciously prosecuted by the pres
ent reigning czars of the U. NJ. W.

The Bulletin herewith prints two of
these letters, one from Indiana and
the other from Iowa, as indicating the
feeling among miners in other sections
| of the country.
Letter From Indiana.
Following is a letter from ]. L..
Sims, secretary of the Central Labor
Union at Linton, Ind, and promi-
nent member of the Miners Union:
LINTON, Ind, March A, 1918.
"The features of the recent Mine
Workers election in District Is, as
related in a recent issue of The Den
Importance to this great union. The
printed report and statement of Doyle
and Lawson over signatures carries
, to the membership of the mine work
ers a chill
"The Mine Workers have seen fiji
to criticize the Rockefeller welfare
plan in Colorado. In all the unwieldi-
ness of that tottering organization,
there never has been the lowering of
lower and darker cloud over it than the
one now threatening to entomb the
U. NJ. W. of A. in Colorado. 1t is
fast becoming the topic for discussion
even in the most isolated mining camps
in other districts. 1t is furnishing
food for criticism for the deriding ele-
ments outside our ranks. 1t is en-
dangering the good name of this great
union and to say the least, it has very
damaging effects on the organization,
and places us in a strata far below
the high ideals of democratic princi-
pies on which we are founded-'justice
to all and special privileges to none
"If the Mine Workers of Colorado
have suffered under the reign of Off
cials not chosen by the rank and file
it is high time that they take over
the reins and select their own lead
ers. The theory of one man rule
should and is being buried beneath
the ruins of the past.
Was Ludlow in Vain?
"In view of such an unwarranted
event occurring in Colorado that sets
aside the fundamental principles and
renders fruitless the high ideals of
democracy for which we have fought,
ble1 and died, radical action is neces-
sary.
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-03-09

"In passing let me call your atten-
tion to the glowing tribute erected by
the workers at Ludlow in memory of
some of our brothers who gave up
their all to this great organization.
"If this great organization is des-
tined to obtain the full measure of
freedom for the workers for whom it
was founded and are now enrolled
under its banner, it will be necessary
for the guilty ones to be sought out
and held up for publicity as warn
ing to those in the future who would
so condescend or stoop so low.
"The Mine Workers of Colorado are
now budding and in the near future
will be in full blossom, and will set
aside forever such events that now
mar and dwarf their district organi-
zation.

organization. / see for them a place
that will be envied by other districts.

Iowa Miners Convinced.
A letter from Des Moines, Iowa, the
home town of James F. Moran, says:
Il was in the U. NJ. W. of A. con-
vention at indianapolis and heard John
R. Lawson tell of the frauds COM
mitted by Moran and Pippin in the
Colorado State Federation of Labor
convention, and was convinced, as
were hundreds of others, that he was
telling the exact truth. In The Den
yer Labor Bulletin of February %
read that similar, and even more flag
rant frauds were perpetrated in the
special election of District Is, U. NJ.
w. of A.
Something should be done to clear
the good name of Iowa union miners
of the odium cast upon US by James
f. Moran of Iowa Such men as he
and Pippin of Kansas are a discredit
to any organization. ! am sending a
resolution to our district convention
demanding an investigation of the
Colorado miners election. Wish you
would send me about thirty copies of
The Denver Labor Bulletin, issue of

Dear Sirs: We. the members of
Local 31O2, U. NJ. W. of A, located at

experience as broom manufacturer
and for some time past having sue
cessfully conducted small plant at
1888 South Broadway, is organizing
a stock company to produce brooms
on a large scale under union condi-
tions. The Ben S. Price Broom Com
pany, with an authorized capital of
$4,000, par value 81, fully paid and
worcestershire, is offering for quick
sale $4,000 of the capital stock at 81
a share.
The concern is already a going
proposition and making a substantial
profit. Investors will find this stock
an opportunity for securing a good in
dustrial stock that will undoubtedly
return at least per cent, and posi-
bly, very considerable more.
The factory has a present capacity
of about fifty dozen brooms a day
more of the cheaper grades, less of
the better grades. Owing to lack of
capital to buy raw materials and to
finance operation and deliveries to
merchants Of good credit rating, the
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-03-09

actual output is only about twenty
five dozen a day now.
The addition of five winders at a
cost of $500 will increase the capacity
of the presens plant to 100 dozen a
day.
The money received from the sale of
stock is being put into the business
to increase the capacity, buy raw
materials and to extend the trade of
the company thruout Denver's trade
area.
Ben S. Price, president and general
manager, has been resident of Den
yer for many years. He began to
learn the broom business in 1885, at
Ii years of age, in Omaha, Neb.
In 1896 he came to Denver and was
connected for several years with the
Craffey Broom Works of Denver and
is well and favorably known to the
trade thruout Colorado, Wyoming,
Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, New
Mexico, Kansas and Nebraska.
Eight years ago Mr.. Price started
small broom factory with one ma
chine and only one man.
He called his product Dry Climate
Brooms and has made them so well
that the demand has grown until now
the plant has capacity of fifty dozen
day and is unable TO supply more
than one-fourth of the demand.
The brooms are all sold under the
brand Dry Climate, and this name has
come to mean to housewives -"brooms
that stay pliable and durable and
sweep well until worn out"
Brooms are made here in all de-
sirable qualities, from the cheapest
that's worth putting out to the highest
grade than can be produced. This
means brooms for all purposes and
of all weights.
Dry Climate Brooms means brooms
especially made to stand up under the
drying and shrinking effect of this
| western climate.

"Up to the present it has been very
hard to get our people to consider the
home garden seriously as a real sub
stantial factor in food production with
the consequent saving Of money that
went for food supplies at the store
Unless we are much mistaken the
home garden will from now on be
taken as seriously as any other par,
of the farm work.
"A quarter to half acre devoted
to variety Of vegetables liked by the
family can be kept going nearly the
whole year in the South and give its
owner as much as the product OF two
or three acres of cotton, even at pres
ent prices, will buy at the store. The

abundance of healthful food during

At this season of the year fires are
more likely to occur than ordinarily
An ounce of prevention may save
several thousand dollars. The fol-
lowing facts, found in circular is
sued by the Western Reciprocal I'm
derwriters, are worthy of note:
Five hundred dollars minute
that is the cost in money of fires in
the United States.
Fifteen hundred people are killed
and five thousand are injured an
nually-that is the cost in human
life
The cost of fires each year is ap-
proximately one-half the cost of new
buildings erected.
The fire waste exceeds the annual
value of wheat, hay, rye and oats. 1t
is twice the annual value of the cot
ton crop.
Two thousand business men will
see the best efforts of lifetime vast
ed by fire this year. Fire insurance
will return to them large part OF
their actual property loss, but it can
not repay for equally large losses in
lost profits, interrupted operations
and general business Generalization.
Carelessness is responsible for flf-
ty per cent. of fire losses.
1t is the duty of each of you to pre-
vent fires on your own property. 1t
is also your duty to prevent fires on
neighboring properties.
Therefore, you should report to
the proper authorities any unusual
accumulations of trash or waste and
any actions of suspicious character.
Preventing a fire is better than
extinguishing one.
Act neutrality-suspicious. the fire.

The Germans are worse than bar
barians. The American Indians, in
their fighting days, never perpetrated
the inhuman practices and barbara
ties that we know the Germans have
wreaked upon those who have fallen
into their power What they have
done that is not known is doubtless
worse than anything we know Of, for
they are polite enough to hide their
deviltry as much as possible. There
was a time when we thought the
German nation should be treated as
a civilized country when peace ne
gotiations are concluded. We have
just about ceased to think this should
be. We are rather of the opinion
that for the good of the balance OF
the world it ought to be wiped off the
face of the map as nation. If you
don't kill a rattlesnake when you
catch one, the next best thing to dc
is to pull out it's fangs. AS long as
Germany is allowed to exist with the
power she now possesses, she will be
a menace to the world.
