ticularly strong appeal to working
men and women.
Her appearance in Denver is being

Of which Senator E. ". Dunklee is
meeting here. Members of organized
labor and working people generally
are invited to attend.
Comtesse Madeleine de Bryas is

EMPLOYMENT BUREAU MOVES.
Now Occupies Twelve Rooms in Bar

Need for larger quarters has
caused the federal employment bu-

postoffice building to the Barclay
block, corner Eighteenth and Larimer
streets. Twelve upper rooms and a
large ground floor space has been Sc
cured and are being fixed up to meet
requirements.
Ready Kenehan; federal director of
employment for Colorado, is in charge,
and has as his assistants Earl R.
Hoage, l. H Fitzgerald, Thomas P.
Rodgers and Walter S. Matthews. A
number of clerks and stenographers
are to be engaged to handle the large
volume of business.
1t is planned to divide the work
among the several examiners, who will
be separated among the twelve rooms,
so that each class of work will have a
separate department.

entire revenue accruing from the in
creased rates that will be available to
the company in an advance of wages.
1T will be appreciated that, with
such an enormous organization thru
out the entire country, it will neces-
sarily take some little time to work
out the increases in a systematic and
equitable manner. It is hoped that this
entire question can be disposed Of
within period of thirty days.
However, the employees will not
suffer in consequence of this delay,
inasmuch as all increases when an
nounced will be made to take effect
from July 1, 1918.
None of this money will be used
to increase the salaries of the higher
paid men or the officials of the COM
pany.
THE additional revenue accruing
from the increased rates will be dis
tributed upon the basis of doing the
greatest good to the largest number.
1T is hoped that the use of this
money exclusively for the purpose Of
increasing the salaries of express
workers will encourage them to do
everything possible to insure an inn
proved service to the public"

Philadelphia, where she spoke to
thousands Of workingmen at Chester
and Hog Island, and other plants.

committee on devastated France, and
also for the Red Cross. The Commit

her to make an extended tour thru

French woman to take up work along
these lines. In 1915 she founded an
organization called "le Bon Cite"
which is the largest French organi-
cation doing relief work in the de-
stroyed villages. On behalf Of the
Bon Cite she made lecture tour in
Southern France, raising funds for
the society, then the French govern
ment sent her to Spain to lecture for
the French propaganda in 1916.
