These employers did not overlook
the opportunity for free immigration
propaganda. They say an eight-houT
day means 10000 additional workers,
and these can not be found in this
country. A short time ago. when g.
100000 unemployed were in this coun-
try, the steel employers had other ex.
cuses. The report states that there is
less fatigue in a 12-hour steel mill
day, than in most eight-hour indus
tries. Then the steel barOns throw
this bouquet at themselves:
Show Paternaiism.
There is no concern of importance
connected with the iron and steel in
dustry in the United States that would
urge or willingly permit employees to
exert themselves to a point where
they would be injured physically, men,
tally or morally"
After these employers presented
their best defense of the long work
day, they declared the 12-hour day
can not be abolished "at this time. "
This is an anchor to windward, for
use when steel employees organize and
smash the 12-hpur day by the force
of their economic power In that
event. Judge Gary and associates win
accept the change as gracefully as
have other eighthour opponents.
The charge that the 12-hour day de-
MES a home life 10 steel workers is
an awkward one for the steel barons
70 meet but this Is how they gloss
over physical imDOssibility:
Whether or not, In the large ma
jority Of cases, 12-hOur men devote
less time TO their families than the
employees working less hours is per
haps, questionable
The report is an excellent argument
in favor Of trade unionism because ii
notifies steel employees, and the coun.
try as a whole, that the steel barons
will not yield an inch until they arr
forced to.

wages do not meet the rising costs Of
living.
The farmers will tell you that they
cannot sell their products at a price
sufficient to cover the expenses of
raising the crop.
That is saying the same thing in
two ways.
Zone works individually and calls
himself proprietor, while the other
works in a great organization and calls
himself a wage Garner, but that does
not change the essential truth.

.LABOR'S CANDIDATE
IS ELECTED MAYOR

DENVER, June {. with the forma'
endorsement Of organized labor. BeT
+. StapIet0n, Democrat. was elected
mayor OF Denver By a plurality Of
5000.
Among the defeated candidates was
the present mayor, Dewey c. Bailey
and former Governor George Carlson
who was made chief executive OF the
state by the Rockefeller interests in
1914 during the great coal strike.
Bailey was sponsored BY Lawrence c.
Phipps. Colorado's steel trust senator.
In addition, ne was handicapped by
the hostility he displayed toward un-
ion labor during the strike of the
shopmen and street car employees.
The election was of national interest
because the preferential system of vot-
ing was used.
Under the law each voter is permit
ted to indicate his first, second and
third choices. If any candidate Sc
cures majority Of all the first choice
votes he is declared elected. II no
one secures a majority the second
candidates are still without majority
the third choices are tabulated and the
man with the high vote is declared
elected.
Third Choice Votes
In the city's election, there were
eight candidates running for mayor.
Mayor Bailey had the support of the
machine and apparently had a ire
mendous campaign fund. He secured
28,105 first choice votes, while Sta
pleton received only 24,619 and Carl
son 15,400.
That made it necessary to count the
second choice votes. Bailey received
only 1.757, while stapleton got 1921
and Carlson $685. OF the second choice.
This put Stapleton in the lead. But
he did not have a majority, so the
third choice votes had to be tabu-
lated Bailey received 1,176, Staple
ton 3,171 and Carlson 2,468.
Thus on the final count Stapleton
had 1851, clear majority as only
69,8S3 votes had been cast. Bailey
got 31,037 and Carlson 24,823. The
other five candidates trailed behind,
badly beaten.
Baily has announced that he will
contest the result on the ground that
the preferential system is not con-
stitutional. It is clear from this con-
test that 1t is impossible for a ma
chine to win out by dividing its oppo-
nents. Under the old system where
voter had only one choice. Bailey
would have won by a plurality Of
1000. But the second and third
choices enabled his opponents to con-
centrate against him.

EXCLUSIVE GAMBLERS
 WEST" AT CAPITAL IS RAIDED BY OFFICERS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2s.-(Bv United Press)-Police today claimed they had broken up the most ex- elusive alleged gambling den of the nations capital, eThe Boar's Nest"
 As the result Of newspaper dis patches telling Of the huge stakes on the tables of the Nest" the po- lice today raided the place. Police assert that one senator and one con- gressman were caught in the raid
 Many others prominent in society are said to have been taken to the police station. where they gave fake names when booked as witnesses
 The gambling club is about block and half from the White House and the Department of Justice. About 50 men were caught in the raid. Pandemonium reigned when the po- lice broke into the Nest" the shut ters Of which are always closed. Some of the young society men are said to have slid water spouts from a second story window. It required five patrol wagons to haul the gam blers to the station.
 Police claim that about s25, 900 must have changed hands last night judging by the conversation they heard just before breaking into tn. rooms, which were luxuriously fur nished.
 Poker, with bets running into hun dreds of dollars, was the principal game of the Nest"
 John oToole, alleged proprietor. was fined $loo in poflee court to- day
 At the police station some of those caught in the raid were said to have jumped out of q window while oth- CTS were being listed as witnesses
 The raid was staged by Private N, F. Sagerk, who noticed several limousnes and snappy roadsters out side the club at a late hour last night. He summoned squad Of hluecoats, who forced an entrance into the Nest" by climbing up ladder to second story window Three of the gamblers tried to get under one bed, but were pulled out much dustier for their attempt.
 Many of those hauled to the police station were in dress suits.

DROUGHT CAUSES AVERAGE HIGHER IN WHEAT MARKET

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-With the gov ernment weekly crop report show ing drought in the west and south west. as well as damage elsewhere from the recent cold wave. wheat av- eraged higher in price today. Profit taking sales. however led to re- action at the last. Prices closed un- settled at A net decline to IS c advance, May $1.1S1a to s1.1S6s and July s1.15as to s11512. Corn fin ished unchanged to B higher, cats up $ to E 0 5s, and provisions vary ing from a setback of 5@7c to a gain Of %.
 On the upturn i'll the wheat mar ket, July and,September rose to with to Pc of the seasons high for new crop deliveries. There was rather persistent buying of both the new crop months. Expectance that farm legislation at Washington would be pressed quickly to a vote i'll the House had further bullish effect, as did predictions that farm deliveries for the next two months would be light.
 Reports that Germany had obtained sufficient wheat to last four months and that Russia was offering rye 5c to 5c cheaper than American offer ings were partly responsible Tor the late selling of wheat.
 Corn responded to talk of farm re- serves being light and to signs of better demand from the seaboard. Offerings of oats were meager
 Provisions were upheld as result of some lard buying on foreign ac- count.

V0lSTEAD WILL NOT
 CAPITALIZE HIS FAME
Ny FRASER EDWARDS United Press Staff COrrespOndeI

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Cashing in on hard words does not appeal to Representative Volstead, the man of Congress most cussed" by vets.
 The much maligned man from Min- nesota, it was learned today, l~ turned down d chautauQua offer Jt $l,000 night to strafe the synthetic Demon Rum"
 Instead of capitalizing his fame and carrying on for the dry cause when he leaves Congress on March 4, Volstead, who was defeated for re- election, is going back to his law office in Granite Falls, Mnn.. to practice his profession.
 By passing up the offer. NolR cad paves the way to his fondest hope to prove he is not professional prohibitionist.
 Destiny cold decked this quiet. kindly, serious minded Norseman-

whose friends swear by him not at him--by making him chairman of the judiciary committee just when a law was needed to enforce the eight eenth amendment. Since It was his duty, he drew law that holds water one half of l per cent being re- garded as such--in the courts.
 Vets made the welkin ring when he was licked. but they were not re- sponsible for his defeat. His district was drier than old Tut's tomb long before Broadway knew prohibition was not a breakfast food.
 Now that he has been licked, Vol stead has no hankering to return to the House to sit at the foot of the table. There is lure about the Senate, however. and provided Sen ator Knute Nelson does not run two years hence. Nolstead could be per suaded to get in the race.
