TO PROSECUTE THEM,
Bogus Picnic Ticket Sellers Will Have to
Keep Shy in the Future.


Keep Shy in the Future.
A committee from Harmony Lodge
No. Is, of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron and Steel Workers,
called at THE DISPATCH Office last
evening in relation to the bogus tickets that
were sold for supposed picnic alleged to
be given by the lodge. They say the men
have collected $50 from friends of the men,
bers of the association, and they will prose-
cute them for obtaining money under false
pretenses.
The Harmony Lodge met last night, and
determined to stop the business. One of the
committee stated that a few people are
in the habit of getting up faxed
balls, picnics, etc., in the alleged
interest of labor, and then they divide the
money among themselves. They propose to
put stop to such work in the future.
