MOOCHER HERB GEORGE ASPIRES TO

Burdens Mails With Circular Letters Calling Employers Re

Moocher Herb George, who poses as
president of a phantom employers
Association" Denver's crudest pest
and repudiated by employers gener-

cular letters attempting to lay the
foundation for Bolsheviki movement
in Denver. Moocher George gathers
inspiration for this new treason thru
the election of Greeley w. Whitford as
one of the district judges for Denver
county.
In this connection the moocher says:
"The election of Greeley Whitfcrd in
dicates that at least 65 per cent of de-
cent unionism has refused to take or
ders of the mouthy gang of agitators
like Houston, Anderson and others"
Moocher Herb further says the ''re-
pudiation of Wilson gives him conf
dence in speaking his mind without
fear of being interned for sedition."

The special committee of the Den

organization, has called a meeting for
next Monday evening, November IS, in
Nachinists hall, 800 Enterprise build

A meeting for this purpose was
originally set for October 7, but could
not be held on account of the ban

holding meetings as usual.
Circular letters have been sent to
about l 900 telephone employees and a
largely attended meeting is expected.
This includes the operators, linemen

crisis. It's high crime, AYERS the
moocher, for men to leave cheap joints
like the Chemical Works and go to
Virginia for employment in war in
dustries at double and triple the
wages received in Colorado.
The moocher calls for employers
everywhere to organize Bolshevik as
sociations like the one he is trying to
form in Denver and put the screws
to labor.

will be quick to take care of such

is 'Stand pat against union labor and

story. but he admits that The Denver

An important conference of organ

is being held in Laredo. Texas, this
week. The principal object is the
formation of reciprocal confedera-

Secretary of Labor William B. Will

the American Federation Of Labor ad-
dressed the conference Wednesday,
urging n general confederation of la
Dor in North and South America.
The formation of such confedera-
ton. it was pointed out by President
Gompers, would be the first and chief
step in the organization of the forces
of peace and humanity that would for
ever prevent repetition of the at

according to Frederick C. Howe,

Just what the immigration situa-

said Mr.. Howe. There will be mil
lions who want to come to America
from other countries, and many from
this country who will be anxious to
get to Europe. There are, however.
several hurdles which they will come
up against. In the first place, our
shipping will be mortgaged for a long
time to come in getting our boys back
from the front
Then economic conditions probably
will be better in Europe than they
have been, wages are likely to be much
higher. and there will be need of
workers in the countries which must
be rebuilt. Many foreign residents

PLAN FOR RECONSTRUCTION.

President Wilson, says a Washing

the appointment of a reconstruction
commission TO develop a comprehen-
sive program for the nations CONVEX
sion from war to peace basis
The commission would be advisory
rather than executive in functions and
the plans developed and co-ordinated
by it would be carried out by existing
government departments and agen-
cies.
As now considered the commission
would be representative of CONNER
cial, industrial, labor, agricultural and
social interests; its membership would
be small and it would deal with all
phases of the great problem of easing
the country from war to peace.

and that fact will make it impossible
for them to come to America under

immigration to Italy has been par
ticularly large. There are more peo-
pie in Italy today" said Mr.. Howe,
than there were before the war. The
Italian losses have not been so heavy
as those of France and Great Britain,
and there were hundreds of thousands
of Italians who went from the United
States to Italy at the start of the war.
