The Typotheta and typographical
unions of the Twin Cities are talking of
getting up Joint picnic at some of the
lakes in this vicinity.
The Knights of Labor Building asso-
citation directors held their regular
monthly meeting last Friday evening.
No business of Importance was trans
acted. The committee on picnic re-
ported that they have decided to hold
the annual picnic Sunday, Aug. IL. The
decision in regard to the day was made
| because there are so many who are un-
able to leave their work on any day dur
ing the week. and the building associa-
ton wish to give all the workers full
opportunity to enjoy the day. The COM
mlttee on location finally decided yes
terday to hold the picnic at Cottage
Park, White Bear lake.
The Ladies' Protective association
will attend lawn social next Thursday
evening at the residence of Mrs. Matt,
1929 East Twenty Fourth street.
The Nationalist held an interesting
meeting last Tuesday evening at the
residence of Mrs. Davis. A select read
ing from Looking Backward and dis
cussion by all present made the evening
pass pleasantly.
Labor day will not be generally OBJ
served in this city. The cigarmakers
and possibly some other unions will hold
a picnic.
The employees of the Chicago, Mil
waukee &, st. Paul railway plcnicked
yesterday at Lake Minnetonka with a
large crowd in attendance, who en-
ioyed the games and dancing provided
for their amusement.
M. W. O'Gara left on Thursday for
New York and other Eastern cities, in
tending to be absent aboutthree weeks.
The Minneapolis Industrial Exchange
is having its bylaws and articles OF in
corporation printed. One of the incor-
| porators has already solicited consider
able stock in the southern portion OF
the state.
The latest advice concerning the
| locked-out granitecutters is that they
will resume work tomorrow at noon.
| Several conferences were held yeSter-
| day between Mr.. Baxter and commit
| tee from the union, and it is understood
| that compromise has been effected.
Mr. Baxter does not like to be consid-
cred harsh or tyrannical employer. he
has concluded that there is no objection
| to the formation of union, and that he
is willing to do what is fair i'll regard to
wages, but would like to have the men
approach him in conciliatory spirit in
stead of making demand, or seeming
to dictate the conditions under which
they will work; but now that his Of
Tended dignity has been soothed, there
is really no occasion for quarrel. The
men seem satisfied with the prospect,
but say that the granite is being cut for
the new court house, and the contract
specifies that the stone shall be cut in
Minneapolis. They think this clause
has its influence in making Mr.. Baxter
amenable to reason.
The coopers hold their annual picnic
at Spring Park next Saturday, Aug. g.
A pleasant programme is being ar
ranged for the amusement of guests.
Games, dancing and boat riding are
among the features.
The girls employed in one of the
candy departments at II. f. Lllli-
bridges are receiving large amount OF
discipline, and have ample opportunity
to learn the virtues of patience and sub
mission. A new forelady has been in
stalled with full power over her help.
While good discipline and exact habits
are commendable things to inforce, yet
it struck an unprejudiced observer last
week that this forelady was making life
miserable for the girls. and treating
them in way which, in the long run,
makes help more liable and careless.
No doubt her intentions are good, but
that doesn't lessen the discomfort OF
the girls who are under her jurisdiction,
and have no appeal from her authority.
Sanitation for Our Public Schools.
Minneapolis Labor Department of the Globe.
Within the past few days contract
has been awarded for the erection in
this city of a bubble school building
(Clinton). the plans and specifications OF
which call for the use throug bout the
plumbing of the patented traps and fix
lures knows as "Sanitas." and without
a system of ventilation for the same.
Somewhat over two years since,
mainly through the efforts of practical
talent, the city council passed an ordi
nance requiring that plumbing work in
all buildings thereafter to be con-
structed, conform to the provisions of
SAID ordinOnce, and which, if carried
out, every practical:man is aware, will
insure thorough safeguard to sewer
gases and its dangers, as the scientific
and practical men of the age are cog
INFANT of, and which nearly all cities of
any Importance In the country had pre-
viOusly adopted; but. in the ordinance
as passed, there was a prOviSO made,
that, if in the opinion of the building
inspector, special permit for special
fixtures was necessary, he was empOw-
cred to grant it, and there comes the
rub.
The manufacturers of the articles be-
fore mentioned, claim that, with the use
of their traps. ventilation, with It's ad-
ditional expense. is entirely useless,
and. as our building inspector has seen
fit to grant a special permit, emitting
ventilation in all cases where these APP
planes are tn be used. the projectors
of that article must certainly have con-
WINGED him of the stability OF their
claim, which is. that, Without a system
of ventilation, their CONTINGENCIES are
perfectly free from any danger of sy-
phonage or breaking the water seal of
its traps. and inSuring perfect system
of plumbing at much reduced cost,
and which last claim may as well be
disposed OF right here, as the increased
cost of their patented articles will not
admit of it.
We are all aware that the present city
administration has endeavored to re-
duce expenses in all possible ways, or
at least, have the public imagine so,
but as this article is not dealing with
that phase of the matter, it is only men-
toned as possible solution of the rea-
son actuating our building inspector in
granting these special permits; but if
not. would like to hear from him, as the
writer of this article stands ready to
practically demonstrate to him, or any
one who has been induced to use these
"Sanitas" traps and appliances, that,
without a system of ventilation, such as
our ordinance calls for, the seal OF these
traps can be broken as readily as any
other trap under like circumstances,
and thus permitting the access of sewer
