the initiation ceremony. The follow
ing officers were elected: President, J..
P. Schmltz; secretary. A. E. Sewrey {;

tary, w. E. Tenvoordie; delegates to

charter and by Laws will be voted upon.
The directors and officers of the Ste
phens Library association meet to-mOr-
row (MOnday) evening In the library
rooms at the Labor Temple. An i'm
preston prevails among the working
should he opened at the Labor Temple.
Some measures will probably be taken
to bring the matter before the library
board.
An open meeting of all assemblies of
the K. of l.. will be held at the Labor
temple this evening, instead OF after
noon. as stated by an evening paper.
The meeting is called by the K. of L.,
but all are welcome, whether belonging
to organizations or not. A general dis
cussion of interesting topics will he
held. The CT urtrSy of the floor will be
extended to all desiring to speak and a
pleasant meeting is expected.
The typographical union meets at the
Labor Temple this afternoon. The
election of officers and delegates to the
International convention will take
place, and lively session is expected.
The Scandinavian branch of the
Brotherhood OF Carpenters and Joiners,
last Wednesday evening, met at Dania
hall. G. Gjertsen, G. K. Campbell and

eral applications for membership were
received.
The painters and decorators union
met at Labor Temple Friday evening,
with good attendance. The trade is

will he apparent within the next six
weeks.
The state elght-hour league meets
Sunday, March 9. at Labor Temple at
2:3O p. m. The meeting is looked for
ward to with great interest. as the state
league is the recognized head of the
eight-hOur movement in this state. The
plans formed at the last meeting in re-
gard to open meetings and distribution
of literature are being so succesSfullycar-
ried out that the league will probably he
justified in making the educational work
still more general. The present rapid
growth of public sentiment in favor of
the eight-hour movement is largely due
to the quiet but thorough work of the
state league for nearly year.
The trade and labor assembly holds
its regular meeting at the Labor Ten.
pie next Friday evening. and will have
many interesting measures up for dis
cuSSiUn.

COMING EVENTS.

The stonemasons have been doing
some active work during the last two
weeks. A meeting for the purpose of
organizing as branch of the Stonema-
sons international union Will be held
next Wednesday afternoon at labor
Headquarters. 20 East Seventh street.
All stonemasOns are invited to be pres
ent. An organizer will be there, and it
looks as If the stOnemaSOns will reOr-
ganize on solid basis. 1t has been
suggested that the Afternoon meeting
I've adjourned until 8 o'clock the same
evening. This Will be decided at the
afternoon meeting.
The painters and decorators are about
to reorganize, and will meet tomorrow
evening at labor headquarters. All
painters are invited to be present,
whether they have ever belonged to an
organization or not. The painters have
formerly been organized, both in K. of
l.. society and small branch of the in
ternational union. The assembly lapsed,
but the union still holds its charter.
The form of the coming organization
has not been definitely determined. But
the painters are determined to thor
Oughiy organize for the season, which
will soon commence:
L. A. 1898 holds its monthly open
meeting next Wednesday evening at
Labor headquarters. The subject for
debate is: "Dnes Unrestricted Imml-
grafton Prove Benefit to All Under
Existing Conditioner The Industrial
union of this city is specially invited to
attend and participate in the discussion.
The committee in charge OF the meeting
has desired the invitation to the Indus
trial union to be made through the labor
department of the GLOBE. The recent
discussion in regard 10 encouraging im-
migration makes the subject selected
by l.. A. 1898 one of special interest at
present. The working people and en-
ployers seem somewhat divided in Opin-
ion and doubtless frank discussion be-
tween them would be interesting and
instructive to both sides.
The typographical union meets this
afternoon. The principal business of
the session will be the nomination of
officers for the year and delegates to the
international convention. Among the
candidates for delegates are G. Quincy,
of the Dispatch, Greenlee. of the GLOBE,
and Wilson, of Ramaley's. A special
meeting for election of officers will be
held Thursday evening, March q.
The delegates to the cooperative hall
board meet tomorrow (MOnday) evening
at Labor headquarters to audit ac-
counts and settle general business for
the preceding month. All delegates
are requested to be present.
