FELLOW WORKERS.


The American Federation of Labor is breaking
up As we all well know, many of the locals in the
Garment trades withdrew in 1912 and formed the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers. The taking of
the Charter from Local 460 |. A. of NJ, Of New
York City, caused many other locals of machin-
lists throughout the Country to withdraw and
form the Amalgamated Metal Workers. Old Local
72 of Textile Workers after a long and successful
strike against not only their employers but also
their labor officials, together with many others
throughout the Country brought about the birth
and growth of the Amalgamated Textile Workers
The stand taken by millionaire officials of the
railroad Brotherhoods has caused the formation
of an outlaw railroad union. The failure of the
machine controlled United Mine Workers to pro-
tect and advance the interests of it's dues paying
members has led to an insurgent union movement
among the miners
The above, Fellow Workers, merely records a
few of the many failures of the A. F. of L., but
before we dismiss the matter with smile of con-
tempt for the organization which has long misled
the workers, it might be we'll to ask ourselves
question: care we, as we stand now, any better
able to protect and promote the interests of the
workers" Undoubtedly, different from the A. F.
of L., we are sincere. Our sincerity is not even
questioned, but what is absolutely open to ques-
tion is whether we have the economic power to
protect our workers. in view of the conditions
which will be hereafter set forth. The answer is
that we have not!!! We cannot as Amalgamted

That is the story Edgar Buchanan,
lawyer-ranchman brings to Durango
from his ranch a fcW miles west OF
here on Hermosa Creek.
The Buchanan ranch, including
large orchard. is tucked up against
the hills over which roam large herds
Of deer. Every fall, after the hrst
frosts. these animals have made 1T n
practice TO come down to the Buchan-
an ranch and got "souscd' on decay
ing apples lying on the ground after
the harvest. This year Jack Frost
caught more apples than usual.
Apparently the frosted apple that
has started to decay contains a kick
as delightful to the deer family as
was the old-fashioned 10O-pruof Ken

In the days OF yorc. The animals
munich the fruit for a time, then go
on ecstacics, rompinE through the or

Stunned the title OF President for
nearly three years, but he was an
early victim TO the power habit. a
civilian himself, he had no real hold
on the army of its leaders. HIS days

campaign was initiated by the Con-
