Plant Now Employs Men Sends Products All
Over the World Important Railroad, Mining Agricul
tural Center Beautiful Homes, Parks and
Churches, With Delightful Climate

Pueblo is the leading industrial and
manufacturing city of Colorado. 1t
is often called "The Pittsburg of the
West" by reason of the smoke which
ascends from the furnaces in the many
thriving industries.
Tremendous industries have located
in Pueblo and flourish there owing to
the fact that there they find possi-
BILE the cheapest production and the
easiest distribution of their product.
The city's pay roll is over $780,
900 per month, an army of 25,000
being employed in the various indus
tries. There is located the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company steel works,
employing 1000 men.
Great Mining Center.
The greatest coal mining districts
in the entire West lie within a fan
shaped radius of forty to seventy-five
miles west and south of Pueblo.
Three-fourths of the coal used within
circle of 500 miles comes from
Pueblo coal fields. Pueblo's fortunate
situation in this regard accounts for
the city's great manufacturing in
dustries and its reputation as "The
Pittsburg of the West"
Only a very small per cent of the
mineral resources of the state has
been touched. Within a very few
years the many mountain streams will
be harnessed, furnishing power to
hundreds of cities in the states to the
east, making Pueblo the gateway to
the great West.
Varied Industries.
Pueblo has large and successful
smelters, brick plants, saddleries,
candy factories, stove foundries, ma
chine shops, wire fence factory, i'm
plement factories, baking powder,
soap, cigar, druggist supplies and can
ming factories, photographic works,
tent, awning, mattress and broom
factories and a big packing house.
Extensive Merchandising.
An important item in Pueblo's list
of enterprises. Thirty-six jobbing
houses in widely varied lines do an
annual business of some sixteen to
seventeen million dollars. Merchants
from wide territory visit this mar
ket, and retail customers by the thou
sands come to Pueblo from $50 to
200 miles around, drawn by the ad-
vantage of buying from the large
stocks of all kinds offered at retail
here. The city's retail business is es-
timated at about $25, ,000, 900 per an
mum.

FROM A GERMAN DIARY.

In speaking of the apparent lack of
justice in the awarding Of decora-
tions, the anonymous English author
Of "a Generals Letters to His Son"
(Houghton Miff1inl- quotes the fol-
lowing delightful extract from the
dairy Of German soldier:
"Monday-It rained heavily and our
Lieutenant Muller was drunk.
"Tuesday-The English shelled us
and our Lieutenant Muller was very
drunk.
"Wednesday-The English shelled
US more heavily and our Lieutenant
Muller was drunk and incapable.
"Thursday-We were ordered to at
tack. Our Lieutenant Muller called
out to US from his dugout to advance
more rapidly.
"Friday-Nil.
"Saturday-Nil.

and no fogs, rs to S5 per cent of all
the sunshine possible in year, a eli
mate very delightful to live in and
health-giving in the extreme. Ask
the United States weather bureau in
any city to supply you figures COM
pairing Puebio's climate with that of
any other region in the United States.
Pueblo Financially Strong.
Few cities of equal size have as
many strong banks and financial in
stitutions as Pueblo. The city has
six banks, all of them growing and
increasing in business, and of course
there are reasons: An immense
amount of business is transacted in
the region tributary to Pueblo and
the banks of the city are the natural
clearing houses for the handling of
this business.
AS an index of the commercial and
financial greatness of Pueblo and the
Importance of her banking institu;
tions note that about one-tenth of all
the bank deposits in Colorado are in
the vaults of this city. In addition a
great chain of banks are tributary
to the banks Of Pueblo, capital from
this city controlling banks in Denver,
Florence, Trinidad, Lamar, Silverton,
Durango, Ouray and score OF other
cities in Colorado. Capital from
Pueblo finances cattle, land, irrigation,
mining and manufacturing enter
prises all over Colorado and the West.
An Industrial Center.
Inflexible commercial laws are
working to make Pueblo the indus
trial and commercial center of that
region between the Missouri river and
the Pacific coast. At no city in this
vast territory is there such a center
ing of trunk line railroads, Pueblo
having the Denver & Rio Grande,
Rock Island, Colorado & Southern &c.
B. & O., Colorado Kansas, Colorado
G. Wyoming, Missouri Pacific and
Santa Fe. Pueblo is the only natural
location for gathering raw material
in the Rocky mountain region, offer
ing as it does, a down-hill haul from
all points of production, and by the
same circumstances of location Pueblo
is the natural trade center of South
ern, Western and Eastern Colorado,
Northwestern Oklahoma, Northwest
ern Texas, Western Kansas and the
greater part Of New Mexico and Utah.
Pueblo's Public Schools.
Two splendid high schools make
unusually ample provision for Both
academic and technical instruction.
Their fine gymnasiums offer bathing,
swimming and all forms of indoor and

WAR POLICY OF
LABOR OUTLINED
tContinued from f.s. Ono,

mindful of the world relation of each
act.
The problem of production indis-
pensable to preventing unnecessary
slaughter of fellowmen is squarely up
employers. Production depends upon
materials, tools, management and the
development and maintenance of in
dustrial morale. Willing cooperation
comes not only from doing justice but
from receiving justice. The worker
is human being whose life has value
and dignity to him. He is willing to
sacrifice for an ideal but not for the
selfish gain of another. Justice be-
gets peace. Consideration begets CO.
operation. These conditions are es-
sential to war production. Produc-
ton is necessary to win the war.
Human Side of the War.
Upon the government and upon en-
ployers falls the preponderance of re-
sponsibility to securing greatest eff
cheney from workers. Standard of
human welfare and consideration Of
the human side of production are part
of the technique Of efficient produc-
tion.
Give workers a decent place to live,
take all their wages for bare exist
ence, give them agencies whereby
grievances can be adjusted and indus
trial justice assured, make it plain
that their labor counts in the winning
war for greater freedom, not for
private profiteering, and workers can
be confidently expected to do their
part. Workers are loyal. They want
to do their share for the republic and
for winning the war.
THIS is LABOR'S WAR. IT
MUST BE WON BY LABOR AND
EVERY STAGE IN THE FIGHTING
AND THE FINAL VICTORY MUST
BE TO COUNT FOR HUMANITY.
THAT RESULT ONLY CAN JUS
TIFY THE AWFUL SACRIFICE.
Cannot Meet Enemies.
We present these matters to the
workers of free America, confidently
relying upon the splendid spirit and
understanding which has made possi-
Bile present progress, to enable us to
fight a good fight and to establish
principles of freedom thruout the
whole world. We regret that circum-
stances make impossible continuous
close personal relations between the
workers of America and those of the
allied countries, and that we cannot
have representation in the inter-allied
labor conference about to convene in
London.
Their cause and purpose are our
cause and purpose. We cannot meet
with representatives of those who are
aligned against US in this world war
for freedom, but we hope they will
sweep away the barriers which they
have raised between US. Freedom and
the downfall of autocracy must come
in middle Europe.
We doubly welcome the change if it
come thru the workers Of those coun-
tries. While this war shall last, we
shall be working and fighting shoulder

SEE ACTION OF FRENCH
LABOR AS PROOF OF
UNITY OF ALLIES.

A cable dispatch from Paris says:
"The Congress of the General Con-
federation of Labor, after long and
animated discussion, has adopted, by
vote of 908 to 233, a resolution ap-
proving the adoption by the leaders
of the confederation Of the peace
principles enunciated by President
Wilson,"
Commenting upon this, Robert Mai
sci, director of the American Alli-
ance for Labor and Democracy, said !:
at is clear to anyone at all famil-
lar with the situation that there is
agreement between the workers of
America and of France and Britain on
far more points than there is dis
agreement upon.
Certain interests in America that
are either ignortant or purposely per-
verse, are seeking to make it appear
that there is a great gulf between
American workers and their brothers
on the other side.
"Also they are seeking to magnify
the pacifist, defeatist and obstruction
ist operations of a small minority.
"This vote of the French confeder-
alton is another indication Of the real
unity Of purpose between American
labor and labor in France and Britain.
The President of the United States, in
his Interpretation of the issues in
volved in the war and in his statement
Of war aims, has the support of the
overwhelming majority Of the work
ers of France, Britain and America.
"This most recent vote Of the
French workers is magnificent and Of
immense Significance.
81 hope its lesson will not be lost
on those who under the guise Of liber-
alism at home have been doing their
best to drive a wedge between the
workers of America and the workers
of our allied nations"

RECRUITING OF
LABOR FOR WAR
CONTINUED from Page one.)

CONTINUED from Page One.)
those whose prejudices have hereto
fore stood in the way begin to realize
that the problem can only be eff
GENTLY handled thru a common policy
emanating from a central directing
head.
Turnover Tremendous.
The turnover of labor in our coun-
try is tremendous. In normal times
it is nothing unusual to find establish
ments where the turnover is 200 per
cent or 300 per cent per annum. That
naturally reduces efficiency. There is
not only the loss of time incident to
the change of men, but no man can
be thoroly efficient on his job until
he has become familiar with his ma
chine, his shop, the characteristics of
his shop mates and foremen, and the
hundred and one other details that go
to make up the sum total of his shop
surroundings.
The turnover is the individualistic
strike. 1t represents the unorganized
workman dissatisfied with conditions
or the organized workman unable or
unwilling to interest his fellows in
collective protest. 1t produces in the
aggregate very much more loss of
time than is involved in all of the
strikes OF trade unions or spontane-
GUS collective protest. The remedy lies
in correcting the evil that results in
such tremendous turnover.
Victory Certain.
Since we have engaged in the war,
it becomes incumbent upon US to win
the war; and, while we may make
many mistakes, while we may from
time to time meet with disaster, there
can be but one ultimate outcome, and
that is victory. Under former meth
DDS of waging warfare an army, even
tho it might be an army of invasion,
very frequently lived upon the coun-
try thru which it was campaigning,
supplied only with arms and muni-
tions as the product of the labor of
the comparatively small number of
people at home. The warfare of to-
day is entirely different. The man
in the trenches is all-important. He
is making great sacrifices and taking
great risks. We are proud of him.
But the man in the shop has also
become an important factor in carry
ing on modern warfare, and our in
dustrial problems have become more
intense by virtue of the fact that the
man in the shop and the man in the
field are both vitality essential to the
successful conduct of our campaign.

aptly termed "The Valley of Con-
tent" This valley extends in ever

275 miles in length, from the world

cry, fruit, cantaloupes, melons, gar

farmers cash for their sugar beets

HoIco1nb Bows to Washington.

Hartford, March 21.---Right on top of the action of the Connecticut leg islature in providing for the votes of soldiers and sailors who are in war service, came last night the announce nent from Washington of the atti- tude of the war department against the taking of such votes in France. Legislative leaders were conspicuous by their scarcity by the time the news was received and they could not be asked what they proposed to do next, if anything, but Governor Marcus H. Holcomb was found and he was inclined to be philosophical over the situation, feeling that if Uncle Sam said there could be no vote in France, Uncle Sam, otherwise the war department, settled the thing and that there was nothing to do but
 to bow to the decision.
 When informed of the action of the war department, Governor Hol- comb said that the Connecticut legis- lature had devised what, in its opin- ion, was the best way for taking the vote. He added that the vote could not be taken, of course, if the war department was against 1t.
