THE EIGHT HOUR QUESTION
Discussed at Central Labor Union Hail
Last Evening.

Discussed at Central Labor Union Hail
Last Evening.
The meeting of the Carpenters
Union n. 50, at Central Labor Union
Hall last evening, was largely attended.
The union is in healthy and growing
condition. The membership of the
union has largely increased during the
last few months, and the members are
active and full of enthusiasm for the
success of the cause of the working
man. The membership fee now re-
quired for admission to the union is 81,
and the recent rapid growth Of the Or
ganization has placed it IN position to
use more money, SO the question
of raising the fee to $40 was
proposed but not settled. The
question will be revived at the next
meeting. The meeting was attended
by several delegates to the labor
convention who made brief addresses
upon the subject of "Fewer Hours for
Days Work and How to Secure
Them" The following delegates adj
dressed the meeting: President J.. f..
Tossy. of Detroit; Delegates, John Keys,
of Bay City; Chas. Miller, of Detroit;
Mctieary, of Muskegon; Taylor, of De-
troit; Chas. Erb, of Detroit, and Thos.
ORourlc, of Detroit. The speakers
all advised individual efforts on the
part of the members, and unanlmltv
among the various trades unions
throughout the State, to accomplish
the desired result. The meeting was
decidedly harmonious and interesting,
the speakers being frequently inter
rupted by applause.
