"Biddy" Dolan, machinist in the
Western Newspaper Union Office, is a
sure to goodness fisherman. From
over on the Gunnison, where he has
been trouting for the past ten days,
he sends a nice mess of big ones to
each member of the W n. U. chapel.
Pueblo Labor Advocate: Frank ].
Pulver. who has been in Pueblo the
past week, giving valuable assistance
to members of Pueblo Typographical
Union No. IT'S in the wage contro-
versy between the union and the Star
Journal, leaves tomorrow for his home
in Denver. At its special meeting
Sunday the union unanimously ex-
pressed its appreciation of Mr.. Pull
ver's assistance.
A. G. Thorson was elected chairman
and Frank Ward secretary of the
Times chapel this week. The finan-
cial report showed a deficit of ten
cents, and it was declared the officers
chosen must make a better record dur
ing their term. otherwise they need
not expect n return engagement

joined the Denver contingent on the
Morning Union at San Diego, Cal.
The typographical unions of Kansas
are working to defeat ex-senator Bris-
tow, who is now a candidate in the
Republican primaries of that state, for
the seat he once held in the national
Senate. There was strike on the
Salina Daily Journal, of which Mr..
Bristow is owner and publisher, back
in 1908, and since that time he has
seen fit to man his Office with non-
unionists. Every effort of Salina
typographical Union to square this
Office has failed. Representative
Gadd of Oklahoma City has visited
the Journal several times, but has
been unable to convince the manage
ment of the advisability of resuming
contractural relations with the local
union. The business manager refused
to give him an interview on his latest
visit little over two weeks ago.
The Pueblo Star-Journal and Typo
graphical Union No. ITS of that city
are having tilt" over a new wage
scale. The union demands $3.50 per
week increase and other conditions
The management modestly insists the
scale is now too high ($27.50 for eve
nj nd
cent reduction to. Local arbitration
was recently had and the fifth men,
Der awarded the local union 81 so per
week increase and back pay to Jan
uary /, 1918. Both the local union
and the publisher have appealed to
the international board at Indianapo-
lis. Fred B. Duvall has been elected
by No. IT'S to represent its interests,
and Frank S. Hoag, manager of the
Star-Journal, will appear for that pub
LEGATION.
Denver. Colorado Springs and Pue-
bio will be the only Typographical
unions of Colorado represented by del
egases at the forthcoming Scranton
convention. Wyoming may have one
delegate there, while present prospects
indicate Utah and New Mexico will
be unrepresented.
The Union Printers Home at Colo
RADIO Springs is fair sample of the
patriotism of the members of the In
ternational Typographical Union.
Many of the residents of the institu-
ton are tuberculars, others incapaci-
tated in various ways from following
the printing trade, few have any in
come, except meager pensions allowed
by their local union. These men and
women have so far purchased $4,000
worth of Liberty bonds and the cash
Ter of the institution has disbursed
more than 5000 in war savings stamps
to residents and employees of the
Home.
Typographical Union No. It's of
Pueblo has signed new contracts with
the book and job employers. The
new scale calls for S26 per week,
which is an increase of 50 over the
former agreement. Thru the efforts
Of l. T. U. Representative Frank ].
Pulver of Denver, the Pueblo master
printers added 81 per week bonus to
the above for the duration of the
war" This gives Pueblo jobbers an
increase of So per week-or $27 day
scale. Operators receive newspaper
rates. plus So per week for each ma
chine attended.
