Denver labor bulletin., 1918-05-25

Full of patriotic pep and fixed de-
termination to go out after the ship
building record, another big bunch of
metal craftsmen left Denver Wednes-
day afternoon for the government ship
yards at Seattle. The party totaled
seventy and occupied three Pullman
coaches which pulled out of the pas
senger station over the Union Pacific.
Every man in the party is an ex-
card. Most of them have been on
strike at the thirty Denver contract
shops for a wage basis fixed by the
United States labor board, and which
the employers, influenced by Herb
George, the Moocher, have refused to
pay. Earl R. Hoage of the Trades
Assembly, recently appointed federal
labor examiner by State Director of
Labor Ready Kenehan, was in charge
of the expedition. A few of the men
came from Pueblo, Colorado Springs
and Trinidad.
Labor Responds Promptly.
When Director Kenehan announced
that the government expected Colo
RADIO to supply a certain number of
expert mechanics for shipbuilding the
men in a spirit of patriotism re-
sponded instanter, as organized labor
in Colorado is trying to make a speed
record for itself in filling calls from
the government as fast as they
come in.
A number of the best men in the
shops of Colorado Springs, Pueblo and
Trinidad grabbed clean shirt,
jammed an extra collar into their coat
pockets, and hoped on the first train
for Denver. Some Of the outsiders
had to run to catch their trains, and
arrived in jumpers or oyeralls, their
faces and hands stained with grease
and the CRIME of the machine shops.
Within forty-eight hours of the
time that the message calling for an
emergency gang from Colorado was
received, the seventy men had been
assembled, and all left here over the
Union Pacific at l o'clock Wednesday
afternoon.
A large crowd Of relatives and
friends. fellow workmen from local
shops, and a number of prominent la
Dor leaders were at the union station
to see them off, and when the word
passed around that there were at least
three men in the bunch whose pre-
vious records for speed gave a fair
basis for the hope that one of them
might break the worlds riveting rec
ord in Seattle, the throng waxed en-
thusiastic.
Coloradoans Watch for Record.
From now on the eyes of Colorado
labor will be fixed on this body of
representatives in the Puget Sound
shipyards, for the winning Of such an
honor means glory for the state all
over the world.
At intervals cables from London
have borne news of new rivet records
set by the drivers in yards Of the
United Kingdom, and there has been
the keenest rivalry between the men

STATE FUND BEST
GIVES GREATER PROTECTION
THAN PRIVATE COMPANIES.
Official Canadian Commission Says
State Insurance for Workers Com
pensation Safest, Less Expensive.

That exclusive state insurance funds
for workmen's compensation provide
greater benefits at less cost to injured
workers and their widows and children
than can be secured from commercial
insurance companies, is the official
testimony now coming from Canada.
A commission appointed in New
Brunswick to investigate workmen's
compensation reports:
at has been found, broadly speak
ing, that the commissions have trans
acted the business at much less cost
than the insurance companies. F"
In the province of Ontario, where, of
course, the income of the commission
is large, the cost has only run to about
Az or per cent of the assessment,
whereas the ratio of expense of insur-
ance companies is probably not less
than 35 per cent 1t is therefore clear
that of the total amount collected by
a commission, much larger amount
is returned to the employees than is
returned by the system at present in
force"
These findings confirm recent Off
cial reports in the United States,
which organized labor has found help
full in its campaign to have CONNER
cial companies excluded from the field
of workers insurance. In Ohio, for
example, under exclusive state fund
insurance for workmen's compensa-
ton, insured workers and their de-
pendents received last year $4,000, 900
in compensation benefits at an admin
istrative cost to the state of only
S312,279, whereas if carried by pri-
vate insurance companies S5,333 900
would have been the mere admins
trative cost of conveying the same
$4,000, 900 to the injured workmen and
their families.

Plant at Philadelphia to Give Mas

March Past Independence Hall.
Especial to The Bulletin.)


PHILADELPHIA, May ALTO
show that the shipyard workers of
the nation are as full of loyalty to
the nation as are any other classes
of workers, the mechanics of Cramps
shipyards are working like beavers
on a parade demonstration thru the
streets of this city May %.
Nine thousand men will be in line.
Each section will be led by the heads
of their departments. The officials
of the big yards will parade in line
with the men who are making it pos
sible for the soldiers to get across
to win the war.
Forty floats, depicting different
stages of shipbuilding and models of
the smaller crafts of the navy will be
in line Exhibits of every line of work
in the big yards will be demonstrated
in the affair.
AS proof of the interest of the
workers in the yard monster BAN
quet was staged last week in Moose
hall. President keenan, of the Cen
trail Labor Union and leading labor
men addressed the union shipward
men, as did the officials of the Cramp
Company.
A new spirit has taken possession
of the officials and employees in this
big concern. The only interest any
one in Cramps has these stirring
days is for maximum production. If
the war can be won by the Cramp
employees they have decided to win it.
Today the proud boast of the men
and the officials at Cramps is that
the ward is 100 per cent unioniZed.

Getting What is Coming to Them

The Germans have started the use
OF practically every hellish and In
human device employed In this w7c
and they are eating the bitter fruit Of
their own starting. In the Pipp let
ter which we are publishing the fact
Is brot out that the Germans used
gas at first not counting the cost in
the end. The wind blows from the
west In France much more than from
the east and this gives the Allies the
advantage In the use Of gas; also the
Germans are short Of rubber and II
takes rubber to make good gas masks.
For these reasons the Huns were will
ling to give up the use OF gas. a
news report states that on July Is
the French used gas on the Germans
in such great quantities that two di-
visions were practically destroyed
and the gas WAS SO strong that 1t kill
ed the vegetation where the Germans
were camped-Hayden Republican

THE WAR

Of war progress, the Americans, aid

strong st. Mihiel salient and took
over 10000 German and Austrian

Allied victories Of the war.
This week the British furnised the
thrill, when in their work Of invest
Ing st. Quentin, they captured $4,000
German prisoners and large num-
Der Of heavy guns.
The British and French are closiug
in on Csmbrsi and st. Quentin.
During the week the Americans
rested up a bit after their st. Mihiel
victory.
There are indications that Marshal
Foch is about to turn the British

the American In Alsace.
