THE VOICE OF LABOR.
TcosrgrBuTEp.l

pleasant reunion last Friday evening.
Addresses were delivered by @. E. Fiske,
Homer @. Katz, NJ. A. White, nj, NC
Manus and others. The speeches were
interspersed with songs and inssru-
mental music, together with refresh
ments, LIQUID and solid. This union is
in thriving condition and increasing
in numbers very rapidly. Their union
button is receiving proper recognition
at the hands OF organized labor and will
materially assist the waiters. The craft
is compelled to work from IL to IA hours
a day and seven days in a week. An
one OF the early considerations in this
city. The white walters have succeeded
in unionizing the New York Kitchen
aud the Nadeau cafe, and expect to In
crease the number of union restaurants
in short while.
The colored walters have been ten.
dered the use OF the white walters halTf
on next Friday evening for the purpose
of completing the organization OF COL ,
ored walters union.
The Clerks association will commence
to circulate petition this week Tor the
passage of an ordinance prohibiting the
opening of all business on Sunday ex' (
cept hotels, livery stables, drug stores
and cigar stands. All OF the Main street
merchants except Fl. Klein, A. Klein,
Bedrock Auction company and the Poor !,
Mans Friend have agreed to close at !,
O'Clock. An effort will be made to in
duce the stores mentioned to fail IN line.
The laboring community OF this city =
are red hot over the Times editorial al.
vising the transportation to this city OF I
the unemployed men Of Colorado, sug-
gesting that they could be used for fruit
packing. California is overrun with |
idle men already, and the importation
OF thousands OF others would mean star- !
walton to many. An official denial OF
the Times statement will be cent all
over the east without delay.
The Sailors union at San Pedro indig-
nantly deny that union men were the
cause of the recent disturbance at San
Pedro. and claim they were misrepre-
sented in the accounts sent out from
that place. 1t is natural for deep water
sailors who come ashore after a long sea
trip to become loaded with San Pedro
whisky, and "a O result much Trouble
ensues. But it is utter folly to hold the
Sailors union responsible for every petty
street brawl in San Pedro.
The Bricklayers' union has been per-
manently organized, with 80 members,
and expect to soon have l00tin its ranks.
The following officers were elected:
Carl Robinson, president; VIM. Lam
ersen, vice.president; N. r. Bradley,
recording secretary; VIM. Godfrey,
financial secretary; Thomas Magee
treasurer; VIM. Taylor, sergeant-at
arms. Board Of trustees, George Walk
er, Jack Delaney, Sam Duncan.
The union will assemble hereafter at
8 O'Clock every Monday night for execu-
tive business.
The object OF tho organization is the
PRONUNCIATION of the eight-hour Lew ana
the general benefit OF those connected
with the union. f,
The thanks OF organized labor are duo
to the HERALD and Express for their
denunciation OF the Times head lines
designating the unemployed cf Denver
as "live stock" The brutal woEis q
the Times ars an Insult to every WORK
