| Mark Boyd of the Pioneer Press lob chapel
| yesterday received letter from G. H. Kohl
man, who left for Palmer, Fla, about six
| weeks ago. At the time Of writing Mr.. X.
says mercury ranged from 10 to so degrees.
and that the coolest weather experienced
| while there was but 40 above zero, in early
morning; trees dressed in green, birds
| plentiful and the truck farmers were busy.
All he liked about the country. however, was
the climate. His brother-in-law being sick,
| Charley compelled to do the chores, and
also acted as postmaster. In about ten days
he will leave Palmer for Atlanta Ga. where
he will probably take up his permanent resi-
dence. Mr.. Kohlman will give his impress

A few wekes since the executive officers of
the National Theatrical Stage Employees
union notified the affiliated unions that from
and aftler Jan. l the members of the local
organizations would not be allowed to handle
scenery painted by non-unionists. At its last
meeting the st. Paul union received a COM
munication from President Charles r. Nor
man to the effect that the order had been
rescinded. This action meets with the ap-
prevail of No. 20, a prominent official of
which states that the enforcement Of the Or
der would have been the cause of the precipi-
tation of numerous strikes and the engender
ing of considerable ill-feeling.
Friday evening, at Assembly hall, The
atrical Stage Employees Union No. 20 will
hold it's fourth annual ball. Gardner's or
chestra will furnish the music. The men,
bers of the union are extremely popular
with the laboring element in the city are
what is termed as 'hustlers," and it is a
foregone conclusion that, with the Colonel
actively interested, the result will prove
financial success.
Two applications were received by the cleo
trical workers union Monday evening, and
two members admitted. The union is
enthusiastic over the prospective holding of 4
series of mass meetings by the Trades and
Labor assembly, and, to show their faith
in the enterprise, the members purchased ff-
teen tickets. at a cost of $780, to the ball to
be given by that organization on Jan. II. A
practical discussion electricity was taken
part in by several of the members, which
proved to be very interesting. dance will
be given by the union in the near future,
probably in January and a committee ar
engagements will be chosen at the next meet
ing.
Members Of the organization committee Of
the Trades and Labor assembly, in compliance
with instructions received from that body at
its last meeting appeared before Tailors'
Union No So Monday evening to see II some
thing could not be done to secure a recon-
sderation OF he vote by which the union
withdrew from the International Journey
men Taiors Union of America. The COM
mittee courteousy received, and were al
lowed to present the case as they saw it.
1t was suggested that the union appoint
committee to draw UP it's grievances against
the International. and after several men,
bers had spoken for and against the idea,
motion was made and carried that the presi-
dent select committee Of five to inform the
assembly as to the reason for withdrawing
This entirely satisfactory to the com
mittee. and they withdrew feeling we'll salts
fed with the result.
Tuesday evenings meeting Of the plumbers
union brought together large number OF
the members. The most important business
related to the appointment of a plumbing in
spector by the building inspector Of the city,
for which position the union voted TO recon-
mend one of It's own members. The selec
ton will be made in January, and the union
will put UP an active fight in behalf Of one
Of it's most capable men. The Trades and
Labor assembly will be asked to Its in
fiuence in behalf of the candidate advocated.
