1 have no doubt that every jobb:ng house
In the city will besglad to comply with this

in the day possible on Friday in order tn
avoid congestion in the afternoon, and all
shipments which can be delayed without
serious detriment to business, should be held
In order that some estimate may be made
Of the probable results of this plan, 1 would
like to hear from each house as to whether
an effort will be made in this direction and
If practicable, about what the probable de,

will be. Yours truly, &C. G. Townsend,
secretary.
1t is expected that all members of
the union will oblige the clerks by
getting their freight shipments at the
depots Friday, so as to relieve the
clerks Of the necessity of working Sat
urday. The railway companies have
manifested an interest in the picnic by
agreeing to close their general offices
Saturday, and thus. give as many clerks
as possible a full day off.
Trains for the Dicnic will leava CT
Paul at 7:30, S:15, S:45 a. m. and !: 80 p.
m. Saturday, and Minneapolis at 7:45
a. m. and 1:30 p. m. Saturday, on the

Saturday night the trains will leave
Maiden Rock at 5 p. M and up to

$3.50 Friday evening, and returning will
leave Frontenac at 1920 p. m. Satur-

Sunday. Tickets will be good for one
way on the boat.
The clerks have engaged STEMS or
chestra of twenty-seven pieces, and
there will be music and dancing on
the boat and at the picnic grounds.
FTontenac is the summer resort Of
