HIS REMOVAL.

II repeat that your reputation as a

Meeting of Many Representa-
tiVes in the Times Building.
SELECTION OF COMMITTEES
Funds VIII BE Raised by Grand Fair.
The Question Also EnthusiasticaIl
Further Action Against the Ecking-
tonund Belt tLines-TailOrs'M Meeting.

The preliminary meeting Of the committee
composed of a representative from each
local labor organization was held in The
Times building last evening TO take under
consideration the ACCESSIBILITY Of estab-
fishing a labor bureau and workingmen's
library. Mr.. Josep h b. FeDton was elected
temporary chairman and Mr.. L. j. Rea
1 temporary secretary.
The idea OF establishing the labor bureau
originated with Mr w. .H.G. Simmons and
he was called on to outline the objects to
be attained by it Mr.. Simmons reviewed
at length the benefits to be derived from
such a bureau and stated that it would
create many opportunities for employment
and would offer great advantages both to
employer ana employe.
Each trade or calling would keep
register, where unemployed men could write
their names and addresses.
EMPLOYERS BENEFITED.
The fact that such a bureau was in ex-
istence, that it would be widely advertised
and be connected with a telephone, would
be readily appreciated by ali classes. The
occasion often arises where the employer
needs skilled and uuSldlcd workmen, and
the necessary work goes undone for the
lack Of information wnpFe 10 obtain such
labor.
The expense to be incurred in establish
ing such an institution was carefully con-
sidercd Several methods for raising funds
were discussed, but the one generally
favored was that OF giving a fair. 1t was
thought by the representatives present that
they could get liberal assistance from The
business men OF the city, for while they
had been asked by numerous secret So
cieties to assist them in time OF need,
they had never been appealed to by organ
Ized labor The local merchants have al
ways been very liberal in patTonizing any
thing for the good of the city, and ii is con-
fIdently believed that this appeal Will
not be made IN vain,
HALL FOR HEADQUARTERS
The scheme OF establishing the Institution
was freely discussed, following which
committee 10 ascertain the cost OF obtaining
ball for headquarters, committee TO
procure the necessary books and commit
tee to gather statistics were appointed
After some discussion on the appointment
OF a fair committee, it was decided TO let
that matter go over until the next meeing,
which Will be held in The Times building
next Monday.
The members OF the comittees appointed
were requested to lay the matter before the
respective unions, and the temporary sec
retaFy was directed TO notify each local
labor organization, and urge upon 1t the
necessity OF attending the next meeting OF
their appointed delegates. The meeting
