Letter from our old friend, Fritz
Faust, dated April 81, at Charlotten-
lund, Denmark, came to hand a few
days ago, after being Investigated by
the censor en- route. Fritz, among
other complaints due to war condi-
lions, says that John Barleycorn has
been given a knock out blow and will
be out of the game shortly "over

Communication from the war saw
ings department of Colorado asking
our cooperation was laid before our
members, who will give all the sup
port possible based on the amount of
employment that they enjoy during
the year. One from the council of
national defense, asking our cooper
alton in the conserving of health of
our men and women in industry and
the child life in the homes and en-
dorsed by President Gompers, chair
man of the committee on labor, thru
plan described by Miss Valid, relating
to the employment of nurses in indus
tries and homes in rural districts es-
pecially, was given consideration and
will be complied with when possible
by our members.
E. S. Lynn, a charter member of
No. IL, is trying his hand at the oc-
cupation of Waterman at one of our
war material. Sam reports no en-
counters with ro-Germans so far.
Several cigar dealers make the
charge that non-union cigars are be-
ing consumed by union men in Den
yer. However, we believe that the
dealers are the most to blame, for
the reason that the non-union goods
are handed out and the union prod
ucts held back. Some smokers are
timid about demanding label cigars
and take whatever is offered. The
dealer makes a little more profit on
the scab goods, but the smoker pays
the same.
Ranger, High Altitude, Sierra Cruz,
Flor de Chiolero and a few other
brands of cigars are made by ma
chimes and cheap labor. Ask for
cigars bearing the blue label if you
would maintain the principle of
unionism and at the same time get
quality goods.
Our members endorsed the action
of the Trades Assembly and Label
League in placing the Dutch Mill on
thC lloI anu Will IelIdlu lTOIu

as the place becomes fair.
F. A. Mangini, an old time member
of No. 129, who has held almost every
office in the union from president
down, has his application in with the
Knights of Columbus for appoint
ment in the field service cover there"
and expects to be on his way shortly.
We know that Fred will make good if
accepted.
Eli M. Gross, formerly active men,
Der of No. 129, but now located at
the capitol building in the building
and loan department of the state,
dropped in one day this week to see if
our department was being efficiently
managed. Eli left a few verbal in
structions which will be complied with
in proportion to the feasibility of the
operation of his ideas, which in the
past have always been practical.
The Hamburg Company has taken

brands. Watch for them on the mar
