Stage Employes
I '■ ■■
The ball! The Stage Employes* hall! j
Can you imagine it 7 We have held j
them for 20 years under all kitnW of
administrations, but were turned?.down ,
b\ our present ruling city fathers- and
mother. Another 8150 is lost to the
city's much depleted treasury, be- des
a SIOO labor bill to the musicians, the
printers and various other accounts. All
this because the Stage Employes ~tyle
their annual festivity "A Masque Car
nival” and obscure the bridge of their
shapely noses with a mask. Great,
isn’t it? Breadth of mind is the dom
inating characteristic of the superb rul
ers of the good ship City of Denver. But '
what’s the* use? Impractical legislation, !
ill-advised and arbitrary judgment- by 1
unfitted legislators are destined to carry j
poor old Denver to a much lower plane
than that on which she now stand- lie
fore an improved readjustment of our
municipal government can take r placc. 1
First we must find the man, the real j
man, such as we have had lief ore. A )
strong individual that will refuse to be ;
dominated by illusionists and so-called
heaven begetters; a person who will •
rule by the law as it is written, one
who will do big things and leave the
pretty but useless fancy work to our
many fad-ridden reform advocates that
are doing so much to put Denver off the |
map and then turn around and <tv:
“The f»oor are always with us; but. 10.
we have nothing to give.” And the
stage hands’ ball shall not be; for, even
a well-condueted mask ball, sans Hquor
and properly conducted, is an unholy
thing.
In spite of all that was wished on i
their dear old heads the Samuels Broth
ers’ tonring company lias returned to it- ■
native heath safe and well.
Earl Copping, as head of the Tiilnir
“prop” department, is breathing easily I
after two very strenuous weeks on the
big time. What with “props,** permits
and the next week’s show, he had pi. nt\ |
to do. He now finds time to wash hi*
face every day and look like a human
being.
Joe Harkins, the ever-improving sup
port of Bert King, complains that the
old F does not correspond regularly and
requests that the secretary use pressure
to remedy this matter at once. Secre
tary reports through this medium, re
quest complied with.
The T. M. A. desk is now peopled
by a rising young citizen, u member of
the Empress Five company. He is very
attractive, is doing good work ami we
feel sure will bring the great
order to a much greater elevation and
usefulness and do much to direct it to
n greater eminence than even the en
viable position it now holds.
Cigarmakers
E. J. Scanlon, a prominent memlier of
local Cignrmakers’ Union, is confined to
his home with a sprained ankle, negoti
ated in alighting from a wagon after
a trip to the country.
N. L. Davidson, former treasurer of
No. 129, left this week for I’uehlo to
take a course of baths at Clark*.- min
erul wells.
George Meyer, an oldtiine member of
the local union, was reported on the sick
list at last Tuesday night’s meeting.
Boston Cigarmakers’ Union No. 97
wants the A. F. of L. to take over all
the functions of wealth production, and
at a meeting held in that city January
22 adopted the following preamble land
resolution:
Whereas, The American Federation of
Labor recognizes the right of every
working man and woman in this coun
try to work in the fields of wealth pro
duction, to maintain and sustain their
everyday life for themselves and their
dependents; and
Whereas, The above organization is
the greatest organized movement in this
country today based upon the co-oper
ative movement, which represents jus
tice to all und special privileges to
none; and
Whereas, In wealth production the ob
ject must be to make the laws so that
production and consumption shall meet
on an equality, so that every producer
shall receive the full Value of their ef
forts given to society in the change and
interchange of commodities; and 4
Whereas, The hours of luhor will
have to he reduced in pro|>ortioii that
every man and woman wishing work
shall huve the right, whether native or
foreign born: therefore, be it
Resolved, By Cigarmakers’ Union No.
97 of Boston, in meeting assembled, that
the only solution of this great question
lies in the abolition of the exploitation
of all labor by the inauguration of law
along the line of allowing the American
Federation of Labor to take over all the
functions of wealth production and the
ushering in of the nation’s common
wealth of these United States of Amer
ica, where -life, liberiy and the pursuit
of happiness will be real, and settle the
Oriental question.
