back of Huber's garden, which is one of
the most delightful picnic grounds in the
vicinity and readily accessible by street

to endeavor to make arrangements with
one or more we'll known SNEAKERS who
are prominent in labor movements to be

grand industrial parade that will eclipse
any former attempt in that line
L. A. Fender, j. w. Cavanaugh and
Harry Bostock were selected to make
comprehensive arrangements in regard to
reduced fare on the different railroads,
and it is thought that a rate sufficiently
