NO OUTSIDE HELP
DENVER MATERIAL AND LABOR
FOR REGENERATION CAMP.
Sensational Reports About Govern
ment Bringing Supplies and Work
men From Other States False.

Reports circulated in Denver the
past week that the war department
at Washington was going to purchase
material and secure workmen for the
army recuperation camp from other
states is entirely without foundation.
One hurry up order for door and win
dow sashes was let to a Clinton, Iowa,
firm which had stock ready for ship
ment. Over 600 Denver workmen are
employed on the camp grounds this
week, and the number is being added
to daily.
Announcement was made Thursday
that the recuperation camp would pro-
vide for 1000 beds, instead of 1000,
as intended by the original plan. This
will mean that expenditure for the
first unit is to greatly exceed ST.
O00, 900.
All heating, plumbing, electrical
work, and probably the plastering con-
tracts for the Denver recuperation
camps will be let in Denver, it was
announced Thursday by Contractor G..
S. Lambie. A full statement of the
future operations as regarding con-
tracts and men was made.
There has not been and will not be
a single outside man put to work on
the camp buildings. The contracts for
furnishing the cement have been left
open to two local firms until the com
pletion Of the work. when the amount
used is to be totaled up.
The McPhee & McGinnity Lumber
Company has been successful in their
bids for lumber. several million feet
having been already ordered. and, it
was stated. they would furnish the
lumber of thescamp until its compile,
tion. Terra Gotta work contracts will
be given TO the Denver Sewer Pipe
and Clay Company. The roofing ma
terials contract will also be let soon.

York Times last December a war map,
in five sections, one part each week
for five weeks. AT that time four
residents of the Home, John K. Cow
entry, member of Kansas City, Mo,
Typographical Union No. so; George
Plummer of Indianapolis, Ind, Typo
graphical Union No. L; John Paul of
Quebec, Can, Typographical Union,
and Walter Hammond of Toronto,
Ont, Union No. 81, began the diligent
task of placing the sections in their
proper places, and after completing
their novel and intricate labor of put
ting those parts together they had
the map mounted on oil cloth, then
stretched on a two-inch frame of
stained wood. The entire length of
this beautiful war map is enclosed in
the frame 60x50 inches. 1t shows the
battle lines marked with small flags
of all the allied nations and gives a
descriptive view of the complete west
ern front, from the North Sea TO
Switzerland, including every small vii
lage, as well as the larger cities in
every country. The announcement of
the war news, published day by day,
where the allied forces are located,
and its results, in their fighting ac-
tivities for all the forces keeps these
residents busily engaged changing the
lines.

STOP SETTING SALE PRICES.
Federal Trade Commission Rules
Against nufacturers.

The federal trade commission has
ruled that manufacturers cannot re
fuse to sell their products to retail
ers where the latter refuses to accept
resale price set by the manufac-
turcr.
The commission gives notice that
in the future action will be taken
against these manufacturers.
When once an article has passed
from the maker to the purchaser"
it is stated. "he owns it, and the
owner of such article may sell it at
any price that he chooses provided
he does not himself sell it at such
price as TO be below cost, and thus
thereby enter into unfair competition
with other retailers selling the same
article"
The decision will undoubtedly de-
velop a wide controversy because it
involves so many economic questions.

The Open Forum
OBSERVATIONS OF THE DAY
DENVER. Colo, May 16, 1918.

DENVER, Colo, May 16, 1913.
To the People of Our City:
Many things are wrong while we
live and should be changed by our
good thought. l certainly believe the
time has come when short hours un-
der all consideration should be the
pass word of life, and when you ac-
cou,plish this life will be worth while
to live. You can always expect prog
ress when you are not slave. How
can any city like Denver give to one
department without an election eight
hour shifts on the police department
and have the people believe that 1t re-
quires an election to change the fire
department The mayor can have the
city council pass on this, also settle
this matter, and grant our fire laddies
a wo-platoon system.
Don't have a movement started
thruout our state to have the capital
taken away to some other city. That's
more humane than to have Denver
take little London, or in other words,
Colorado Springs. They have two
platoon system and a little further
along the smoky city of Pueblo has
that same system. They are more
progressive than Denver town.
Tho concerns and corporations offer
less pay than any other city, why not
stay upon the map and progress with
all large towns of our country? A
reunion for all to meet and be one
grand family to help our fellow men
and uplift.
:. The teamsters of our city out on
strike are only asking for a living
wage. They barely make enough to
live on every week. They are entitled
to a raise to feed their families. Those
kind of concerns ought to be put IN
place of their teamsters-how quick
they would kick and want more pay
Those same fellows were employed IN
their time and always wanted more
Why don't they consider those en-
ployed by them now? They are Just
as deserving now as when they toiled.
They forget these things now that
they consider themselves the higher
ups.
There's nothing like that. We are
all human, one just as good as the
other fellow.
This idea because you have more
money or better educated and then
say you belong up in the four hun
dred: that's merely a name created.
You are not any better, and most Of
the time not as good.

AS STAMP RECORD

Nebraska people have pledged
themselves to buy S26,000,000 worth
of war savings stamps. They have
done better. They came thru with n
pledge to buy $50. 0.000.00 in three
months. and have actually paid in
cash 22,OO0,000 for war savings
stamps. They will "go some more"
too, before they get thru with the
game. Is it any wonder every galoot,
male and female, in Nebraska, is
mighty proud these days? Ward NJ.
Burgess is the boy who led the way,
but he gives the credit to the privates.
The part the unions took in this war
stamps work is most satisfying
thought to all of us. We cannot build
any ships out here in Nebraska, but
we are beating every state in the union
in shipping war stamp coin to Uncle
Sam to help pay the men who do build
the ships.-Omaha Western Laborer.

There are 100000 persons in Colo

tries. And there are altogether 23O,-
600 persons Of foreign extraction in

The figures, approximate ones, Of

task in the Americanization Of aliens.
They were cited by Prof George Nor

Americanization of aliens of the state
council Of defense. during an outline
of some Of the committees plans at
the state war conference.
America First societies are to be
formed in different parts of the state
TO interest foreigners in the govern
ment which is now protecting them.
Educational work of an extensive ma
ture is TO be undertaken. Prof. Nor
lin believes that the melting pot has
not melted" partly because Ameri-
cans have not done their part in ac-
duainting foreigners with American
institutions and ideals.

things that are distinctly American"

GETTING TIRED APoLoGIzING.

Clint C. Houston, editor of The Den
yer Labor Bulletin, was given tes-
timonial banquet by his home town
trade unionists when he returned from
New York, where he spent three weeks
knocking on booze in the recent cam
paign. Banqueting n dry labor editor
is something new, but it will be old
before the dry labor editors finish
the job of forcing the booze indus
try TO stop using organized labor as
n badge of respectability. No self
respecting organization in the country
fronts for the booze industry except
some trade unions, and the rank and
file of labor are getting mighty tired
of apologizing for the acts of central
bodies along this line.-Omaha West
