RED WING, May 10.-A meeting of some of
the employees of the different factories here
was called to devise some means to help fell
low-workmen when disabled by sickness or
accident. The parties who called the meet
ing, however, failed to appear, so nothing was
done. The impression has now got abroad
that the meeting was called to organize some
secret society. This is untrue, and a sub
scriber asks the GLOBE to make this correc-
ton. The city council, at their regular
monthly meeting, elected the following Off
