bor Day article especially written fol
The Bulletin by Frank P. Walsh, joint
chairman of the national war labor
board. 1t is highly important docu-
ment and should be read by every
working man. In letter to the editor
Mr.. Walsh says: 81 have received
many invitations from different parts
of the country to make addresses on
Labor Day. On account of the press
of my duties on the national war labor
board it is impossible for me to accept
any invitations. In lieu thereof,
have attempted to write concise arti-
Gle fitting the day, which I am mail
ing herewith to The Bulletin, and you
are at liberty to make such use of as
you desire" Frank P. Walsh is per-
forming a service to the nation and
| to the wage earners which will be
| given a proper measure of recognition
/ in the years to come. AS a matter
of fact, the work being done by the
/ national war labor board is so revo-
lutionary and broad in scope that few
of us today can comprehend its i'm
portance to the industrial life of the
nation. His selection as joint chair
man of the board with former Presi-
dent Taft has been of immeasurable
benefit to the working people of the
| United States.
THE FOLIO WING LETTER
from State Senator Francis j. Knauss
of Denver concerning The Bulletins
editorial on the conviction of 100 I. W.
w. brigands in Chicago is reproduced
here because it expresses the views
of many who have hitherto compli-
Gated this band of sabotagers with the
union labor movement of the country:
Denver, Aug. "a. 1918.
"Mr. c. c. Houston, Denver Labor
Bulletin, Denver, Colo.
my Dear Sir: 1t was with con-
siderable interest that 1 read your
editorial in this weeks issue of The
Bulletin entitled Conviction of /. W.
W. Leaders in Chicago 1 am quite
sure that the sentiment expressed in
dicates the attitude of labor thruout
the country, because l have had am
pie opportunity to observe the pa
triotic sentiment expressed by the la
Dor host, particularly in Colorado.
Having participated in every Lib
erty loan, Red Cross and war savings
stamp campaign, and having served
on legal advisory boards and draft
boards, as well as speaking under the
auspices of the -Four Minute Men, /
have been profoundly impressed with
the sincere and devoted attitude of
the working man and his great desire
to be entirely loyal and of a maximum
service to the country in the present
world crisis.
Whatever may have been the ac-
tion of the /. W. w. leaders which
eliminated in their conviction in Chi
cago, feel sure that their acts are
condemned by all of the union labor
people, and your editorial is a very
timely statement of this position.
"Very truly,
JUDGE WILLIAM D. WRIGHT
candidate for one of the five district
judgeships on the Democratic ticket
in the primaries September 10, is a
man The Denver Labor Bulletin feels
it a privilege and duty to recon-
mend to the men and women of labor
IN Denver. He served a. term on the
district bench, but was squeezed out
Two years ago by the political ma
chine. Be it said to the credit of
Judge Wright, he holds that Judge
should not make deals that might tend
to warp or overbalance the scales OF
justice. Judge Wright is ar old-time
printer, being Appointment member OF
the Colorado Pioneer Printers, and has
been resident of Denver for thirty
years. In the West Side court, where
he dealt with criminals of every de-
gree, he took pains to hand out real
justice rather than punishment, and
brought about the reformation of
many young men, who were put on
the road to becoming useful citizens
A vote for Judge Wright is a vote to
put the right man in the right place
He has always been a sincere friend
and advocate of the wage-earnine
class.
