ual Implications
Labor requires Fundamentally not
fuller pay envelope but fuller op'
portunities. Labor seeks not a living
but life. But these aims are, | as,
sert, the high aims of education and
correspond to human aspiration when

''rhe wages for the year 1920 con-
stitute the peak and high water mark
of-wages ever paid to iourneymen
bakers" says the board. They are
frequently referred to as war
wages 1t was these wages that the
reactionary employing element con-
centrated all their attacks ON in an
effort TO break them down, and
against which militant resistance was
maintained by our local unions during
the pats three years.
This attack of the reactionary en-
ployers utterly failed. One hundred
and thirty-one of our local unions
have succeeded in maintaining their
1920 wage and 81 of them have sue
ceeded in increasing these minimum
wages by an average of 9.65 per cent.
Only 43 local unions had to contend
with decreases averaging 10 per cent
During the last IL years the daily
work day has been reduced from the
standard of 3 and 10 hours to that of
the uniform S-hour day, with a few
exceptions where the SO and hour
day still prevail, offsetting which are
a number of localities that now have
the and 712 hour day.

formed all the duties of life in a
manner that must have been much
satisfaction to him as he prepared to
close life's books
He was married in 1868 in Che
banse, Illinois, to Miss Isabelle Will
son. and to their union were born
seven children, five of whom survive
both parents. Mrs Mckee passed
away in 1919 One daughter, Mrs. j.
r Corbitt of Parlin, and four sons, w.
w. F. d. and A. d. of this place, and
f. E. of Pinedale, Wyoming. also two
sisters. one residing in Oakland, Cal
.ifornia. and one in Illinois, survive
him The sister from Illinois is ex-
pected here for the funeral which
will be held Saturday from the Com
munity church. f. E. Mckee of
Pinedale. Wyo, and the sister of Oak
land, Calf, cannot come.
Very estimable people indeed, were
Mr.. and Mrs Joseph Mckee. Much
of this county's history was made
while they lived here and in all parts
with which they were connected the
work was worthily done. A splendid
family of children who survive and
mourn the passing of the father, live
to emphasize the worth of this fam
lily to the community. 1t was our
privilege to know Mr. Mckee very
well for the past thirty years, and
like several other of our old time
citizens we shall miss him greatly.
Death has been very busy among
the fine old citizens of this county
for the past two years and the ranks
of those who helped to build what we
have here in the shape of common
wealth are becoming very thin.
To the bereaved ones who have the
sympathy of all, should come the
comfort of knowing that a worthy
man whose work was finished, has
come into his natural reward.

Public Health

The State Board of Health and the
Board of Child Welfare would be
consolidated into one department,
called the Department of Health. un-
der the administrative code proposed
by Governor Sweet
AS in the Department of Public
Welfare, it is proposed to have, as an
aid to the commissioner. an advisory
council of public spirited citizens,
serving without pay and appointed
by the governor Four divisions are
proposed in this department-Vit
Statistics, Preventable Diseases, Child
Hygiene. and Sanitary Engineering,
1t is estimated that s53,377. 90
could be saved in this department
yearly under the new code.
The present system under which
the functions of many state officers
are combined with those of the city
'of Denver. would be done away with.
Many city officials, drawing two sal
aries, one from the state and the
other from the city, are giving but
part time to the work
Savings to the state under the pro-
posed system are estimated as fol-
lows:

came to Edgar Bissell and wife, of
the sudden and entirely unexpected
death of their son Fred in Detroit,
Michigan, which occurred on April 2,
1923. after an illness from pneumo-
mia Of but three days This boy, aged

Kansas, and with his parents had
lived in Gunnison during twelve years
of his youth.
He was young man of excellent
promise. bright and industrious. A
lovable boy in every way, and his
sudden passing away is most dis
tressing blow to his parents, brothers
and sisters. His brother John, now

to Gunnison where the funeral was
held Saturday last at two o'clock.
Rev. |. f Jones conducted the SER
vices which were very largely at
tended by friends and acuuaint-
ances of the young man. Undertaken
Adams had charge.
1t is we'll that we have faith and
truly believe that this bright young
Ire is not ended but merely trans
ferred to a higher, more advanced
and happier existence. but even that
knowledge goes but a short way in
assuaging the heartache of loved
ones left on this side. The sympathy
of all is with the bereaved ones
