The East Side Labor club is so well
pleased with the result of their last
open meeting that another will soon be
held in the same hall. A number of
membership propositions have been re-
ceived lately, and the club is beginning
a season of it's old-time activity.
The transfers have one of the largest
assemblies in the city. The members
attend meetings faithfully, and take the
liveliest interest in all the con-
Germs of their craft. Just now
they are booming the Twin City
transfer line and ali the other organi-
cations are helping. At the same
time the proper committee doesn't forget
to interview the city fathers early and
often in order to secure the street
sprinkling and hauling of pipe during
the coming season. There is senti-
ment among the aldermen in favor of
the contract system. but the transfers
are determined and hope to gain what
they ask, for the simple reason that
nearly every teamster in the city be-
longs to the assembly, whether he owns
his own team OF not, and contractors
will have some trouble in filling con-
tracts, even if secured, because the
transfers are in position to fix their
own wages, and will use such strength
to the best possible advantage.

spoke on the needs of the craft and
measures to be taken in order to protect
themselves during the coming busy sea-
sob. The carpenters are earnest advo-
Gates of the eight-hour day, and will
put forth their best efforts to attain that
at the appointed time.
