Long Discussion-Trustee Dona-
hoe Resigns-No Turnout on
dewey Day"
The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly held a lengthy session yester-
day, whose length was responsible
chiefly to the discussion on a few Ques-
lions, and the trusteeship dIssension
stirred up the art of repartee to a
warm degree.

the stand against injunctlons taken by
Congressman Jett, of Illinois, The as

tiers, with which he was AFFILIATED, had
decided not to turn out, since many OF
the members would turn out with other
examinations, Similar statements were
made by other delegates. A motion
was adopted that Secretary Thomas

that a place in the line be given for
labor unions deciding to turn out, but
that n showing of any Importance was
unlikely since the fraternNl organiza-

The Women's Musical club gave its
February recital to an appreciative

one Of the very best prepared this sea-
son, and the organization, which stands
uniquely In this city, is to be congratu-

encourage longing for the higher
obligations and attachments Of life.
These musical afternoons and evenings
given under the auspices Of the
Women's club, when attended. at once
prove to the observant listener the
worth Of the venture and the advant-
ages Of membership. That the cultured
part Of the community is not yet all
embraced in the makeup of the club
after Ave years Of existence Is scarcely
explainable to the out-Of-town visitors,
coming from larger or even smaller
places, everywhere such a privilege be-

performers at the last concert notably
