Industrial Commission Law.


Much bitterness and i'll feeling have
been caused by the industrial commits
sion law, sections 20 to "a inclusive.
As they read at this time they can
never be accepted by organized labor.
"Involuntary servitude" are the words
that have been rightly used to describe
section 90. We have worked in vain
for the repeal Of this law. Is it not
possible for US to have the objection
able sections amended so that the law
will be of benefit to all? think that
it is. II the industrial commission
was made a board Of mediation and
conciliation, then it would be power
for good. AS the law is at present the
very nature of it tends to create sus-
picion, and it can never command the
confidence and respect Of labor.
recommend to this convention that
you instruct your president to appoint
a committee of five, this committee to
RADIO to appoint like committee, as
suming that the governor will grant
the request, and this committee Of ten
to be empowered to take up the legis-
lative matters presented in this report
and prepare bills to be presented to
the next legislature. Bills thus pre-
pared would have the Recommendation
that should insure their adoption:
In closing let me say that my heart
is in this work, and, while fully recog-
nizing my own shortcomings. I know
that l can and will succeed II you all
will help me. Let us all work together
to bring hope to the hopeless. To me,
organized labor is almost religion, for
is il not serving the Master to teach
His children the way to a better and
brighter life? The better and brighter
life that comes to the toiler comes only
thru his union, which gives him oppor-
tunities he could never gain alone. Sin
cerely hoping this convention will work
in harmony and that our deliberations
will be of benefit to all who toll, l
remain,
Fraternally yours,
w. H. YOUNG. President

JUST AMERICAN.

Just today we chanced to meet
Down upon the crowded street;
And wondered whence he came,
What was once his nations name.
So I asked him, Tell me true,
Are you Pole or Russian Jew,
English, Scotch. Italian, Russian,
Belgian. Spanish. Swiss, Moravian,
Dutch or Greek or Scandinavian"
Then he raised his head on high,
AS he gave me this reply,
What / was is naught to me,
In this land of Liberty.
In my soul as man to man,
1 am just American" .

we stand united as one man for the
prosecution of this war, in which we
ask for nothing except assurances of
the liberty of mankind, to a victorious
conclusion.
We read of the heroic fighting Of
American troops in the recent counter
offensive on the Marne- It thrills the
blood to think that these boys Of ours
are fighting and dying so gallantly
for ideals of democracy-not for ter
ritory, not for money, not for the ag-
grandizement of America, but for the
liberties of the world. Let US all save
our quarters and buy thrift stamps
and war stamps so that the millions
we are sending to the front may know
that the millions at home are behind
them to the last atom of strength and
to the last penny. By all means con-
tinue the war savings drive.

Membership.
Our membership in good standing
on August 1. 1918, is as follows:
Number Of local unions. 191
Membership ..-..-. II ,23S
During the past year we have only
had two Withdrawals from affiliation.
The Painters and Decorators, Local
No. Ill, and Plumbers and Steam Fit
ters, Local No. SO, Of Colorado
Springs.
Permit me at this time to express
my opinion as to the progress Of the
labor movement and especially Of our
State Federation Of Labor. It will
progress just as rapidly and to the
extent that the membership will sup
port the movement by their full CO.
operation. have made the assertion
many times during the past year that
the laboring man who ID . member Of
tho union Of his craft has not done
his full duty when he withholds his
moral and financial aid and influence

have been a boon to the workers. But
the federal employment system will
be able to do much more good than it
is possible for the state to do. The
proper distribution of labor thruout
the country is now made possible. I
look for such good results from this
system that the country will wonder
why we did not have such a system
before.
Educational Committee.
This committee will present a re-
port that should be of great interest
to the delegates. The start we have
made has commanded the attention Of
many thruout the country and our sue
cess or failure will be noted by many.
We should do all that we can to assist
the committee and make its work a
splendid success.
Legislation
Owing to the war, it may be best
for US to confine our efforts to such
matters as we feel are most urgently
needed at this time.
Labor can never regard the con-
stabulary law as anything but a club
held over its head. We must do all
in our power to have this law re-
pealed. The reasons, given at the time
the law was enacted, do not exist now
and there is no valid reason for con-
tinuing the expenditure of money in
maintaining the constabulary. We all
must work for the repeal Of this dam
gerous law.
Colorado's Workmen's Compensation
and Industrial Commission Laws.
The compensation law is crude and
inadequate in many respects. The Pc
riod of fourteen days before compensa-
tion is given is too long and should
be changed. Many believe that it
should be reduced to seven and in this
opinion ! most heartily concur.
Placing the insurance with COM
panies who nght paying the policy on
the slightest pretext is another OBJ
jcctionable feature. State insurance
would be the proper remedy. in my
opinion

Reports From Local Unions.
Early in May l mailed to all afil-
lated unions report blank, with a
request to all secretaries to furnish
me with such information as to men,
bership, wage disputes, dues, sick
benefits paid, Liberty bonds subscribed
for by the union and individual mem
bership, ETC., as might be Of interest
to this convention. While the returns
from this inquiry have not been all
thdt had been hoped for, it has shown
that large per cent of our affiliated
unions realize that n general dissent
mating Of the benefits secured thru
organization could only result in great
benefit to the trade union movement
Of this state, as it will not only give
information ms to the progress made
in the past, but will serve as an in
spiration for still greater effort in the
future, and that Il would present to
the world comprehensive review of

BLIND MAN ENJOYS FLIGHT
Appreciated the Thrill Of Intricate
Aerial Maneuvers Performed by
Experienced Pilot.

Thomas d. Schall, the blind con-
gresham from the Tenth Minnesota
district, made flights with Col. Charles
Lee of the British royal flying corps
In Washington recently. It was the
first time he had been up In an air
plane.
Congressman Schall was not salts
fed with the plain 'joy ride" Colonel
Lee had given him. When they re-
turned to earth after circling we the
city at an altitude of about two thou
sand feet, the blind representative
asked for more thrills.
"Ffnel F1nel" he exclaimed, as the
machine came to a halt. 'But, Colonel
Lee, If you wouldn't think me a nui-
sance. l would like to go back up and
turn over"
The biplane was wheeled into posi-
tion again, and off II shot on a trip of
real sensations. Climbing rapidly to
about two thousand feet. Colonel Lee
started the machine into a series of
dips and dives, spirals and other aerial
antics calculated to make ones hair
stand on edge. To complete the thrills,
the airplane was made to roll over
sideways and then drop into a beauti-
full nose spin.
The passengers slghtless eyes were
blinking with delight when his wife
ran onto the field to assist him from
the machine.

HUNS. ARE SPRINTERS
Georgia Lieutenant Gives His
Estimate of Enemy.
Over the Boche, He
Says.

Atlanta, Ga.-"Don't worry about
me, mother; I'll be better In a few
days than before because of a good
rest" wrote Lieut.. L. V. Stephens to
his mother from "over there after he
had recovered from a gas attack and
shell shock during the big drive start
ed July IS. He longs to GO back into
action. Describing the Huns fighting
ability Lieutenant Stephens says:
"What a treacherous, cowardly lot
they are" he said. They'll blaze
away with their machine guns and do
their best to kill all the Americans
on earth, but when we get to within
a hundred or two yards of them, out
they come with absolutely no weapons
on their persons, their hands high In
the air and calling for all they're
worth: 'Kamerad, Kamerad.' With
some few exceptions they absolutely
will not mix 1t with the Americans.
This is no exaggeration at all, but a
simple fact. I went over the top with
the infantry with the exception of the
first all through the drive until I was
sen back to the hospital. and therefore
/ know what I am talking about. l tell
you, man for man. the American has Il
all over the Boche. AS long as they
are massed they fight. But get them
separated, even a little, and they are
through.
"T am inclined TO believe that the
Boche have changed their opinion in
regard to the amateur soldiers and Of
ficers of the American army"

STATES TWO FRENCH KINGS
Both Louis xiv and XIV Ruled Over
Domain That Included Great
Western Commonwealth.

There we're but two French kings
who ever ruled over Missouri. observes
the Kansas City Star. The first OF
these was Louis XIV, for whom La
Sale took possession Of the Missis-
slppi river and of all the country
drained by its tributaries. La Sale
named the country Louisiana In honor
of his king. For governmental pur-
poses the whole Of Louisiana was at
tached to new France and Frontenac
became the first governor, ruling e
the largest domain ever under the
sway of one man on this continent.
France owned the central part OF the
continent from the Gulf to the polar
seas Thus FrOntenac became the first
governor Of the region that Is now
Missouri.
But 1t was I'm the reign of Louis XIV,
who succeeded Louis XIV, that Mis-
souri, received from France the first
vivifying touches of civilization. Un-
der this reign the city of st. Louis was
founded and was named, not In honor
OF Louis Nv, who was no saint, but
In honor 6 Louis TX, who then had
been dead 500 years, and who was the
most sanity king France ever had.
New Orleans was founded, too, dur
ing the reign of Louis XIV, and was
named for the duke OF Orleans, re-
gent for the young king. who was
crowned at five years old.
