A WEEKS LABOR NEWS.
The Coach Drivers Union Asks
Organized Labor's Aid.

The Coach Drivers Union appeal to
organized labor of Hudson county to aid
them in their struggle for living wages
and reasonable hours of work. They ask
union men to patronize coaches driven by
union drivers and avoid those members
of the Undertakers' Association who will
not recognize the right of the men to
| combine as well as the bosses. The de-
mands of the coach drivers are for $12 q
week and twelve hours work day.
Another hard working class of organ
lied labor pleads for assistance. The
Bakers Unions, of New York, Brooklyn
and Newark, are fighting manfully to
maintain their existences, and, unless the
brethren in other trades come to their
succor, the bakers and their families will
suffer many privations, and organization
among them will be at standstill for a
while.
Labor men of the county are greatly
elated over the prospects for ballot
reform which their work has ensured.
They justly take credit to themselves for
pushing the question into the domain of
practical politics.
Carpenters Union No. 4S2 commenced
the missionary work of the season under
most favorable auspices. President
James Anderson wants the non-union
with the brethren in unity.
BUILDING TRADES.
The Building Trades Council will not
hold its usual weekly meeting on Tues
day night. In view of possible election
excitement among the delegates it was
deemed advisable to defer business for a
week. The council is making efforts to
secure representation from the brick
layers and plasterers. Both these trades
are strongly organized in Hudson county
and generally hold aloof from the con-
certed affairs of other crafts. This line
of policy, it is said, had something to do
with the defeat which New York brick
layers lately sustained.
Secretary James t. Moran, of the Build
ing Trades Council, expects to be the
chosen Freebooter from the Seventh dis
trict. His chances appear very favorable,
as the citizens of the Seventh have
watched with pleasurable pride Jim
mics" ever ready usefulness in labor and
social circles.
Tomorrow night the Painters Union
of this city Will hold regular meeting,
at which important business will be dis
cussed. Work among painters and
decorators is fair.
Typographical Union No. 81 has post
poned its regular monthly meeting Tues
day on account of election. Newspaper
printers work that night on the extra"
election editions.
Personal NOTES.
Joseph Fullem predicts success for the
ball of the Pavonia Horse Railroad em
ployes at Oakland Rink tomorrow night.
Delegations from a number of the unions
have promised TO attend with their fair
friends, and il is rumored that some of
the Hills prettiest girls will be there.
Frank Il. Vreeland stays home at
nights more frequently now. All sum
mer long he was out every night actively
engaged in labor work. That Carpenters
Union No. ass has made Bayonne a
thorough union town for their trade is
largely due TO the uutiring exertions Of
Mr. Nreeland and others like him.
A carpenters union will shortly be in
stituted in Greenville. IL is proposed TO
improve the condition of the carpenters
in that place, who are working ten hours
u day. Union carpenters only work nine
hours and are paid by the day. They will
not work BY the piece or hour.
The Painters Union OF Bayonne Is
preparing TO extend Its work this winter
