Central Labor unIan

A largely attended meeting of the Painters
Union was held last evening at the Central
Labor Union headquarters. The object of
the meeting was to induce non-union men
to join the union.
Mark Courant, the noted labor organlzer
spoke OF the general labor movement. He
spoke OF the great change In this CITY made
within only little more than year. The
labor movement here is now well advanced
the Central Labor Union has accomplished
much needed work, and labor is generally
organized as never before. Mr.. Courant
spoke of what organization has accomplished
here as well as elsewhere, and pledged him
self to do his best for the common cause.
James Kelley and w. Fl. Fitzpatrick fol-
lowed Mr.. Courant. Both gentlemen spoke
of the value of labor organizations, and the
necessity of bringing all classes of wage
earners into the local unions. The good
effect of organization here WAS pointed out,
and it was added that encouraged by the
success of the Portland organization, the
painters of Bath formed local union In
that city, and blamed an advance of %
cents day.
Several joined the union last evening after
listening to the speeches. and more are ex-
pected to follow their example. Judging by
present indications the painters of Portland

TIME old fashioned
i bathing suit was a
distressing affair.
When it became wet the
man inside of it felt as if he
had on a parlor stove and
weighed a ton. To get any
fun in swimming about
with such a rig on was a
waste of honest but misdi-
rected energy. But the old
time bathing suit has been
filed away and in its place
is a costume that fits and
does not get 'loggy" in the
water.
It may be rather early to
talk about these things but
the days for playing with
the waves are not far off
we venture to give you a
tip in advance of actual
needs. Our workrooms are
busy now on bathing suits
for stock-making up a
supply for the breathless
rush that's sure to come
with the opening of the
beach season. Our custom
order department is ready
to take orders for suits to
be made to measure, and we
suggest that you anticipate
the season a bit and order
a bathing costume now.
