On Monday evening next the friends
of the late Jack Hayes will give
benefit ball in behalf of Mrs. Hayes,
who has been sick for some time past.
Every union man in the city should
buy ticket and help this good move
along. No. .~
Jack" Hayes was at one. time the
leading spirit in local labor circles. A
great deal of the success of the labor
organizations of today resulted from
the earnest and sincere work performed
by Mr.. Hayes. Mr.. Hayes was
drowned two years ago. and his wife
and baby were left kthout any means
of support.
The unions have never, really showed
their appreciation of Mr.. Hayes efforts
now is good time to do so. L ct
every union man in the city buy tick
ct at this time. 1t costs but fifty
cents. ~ se&

before day break this morning were
quite successful in getting men to quit
work and join the strike. No overt
acts were committed by them, how

however, in rather a sullen manner and
some of them somewhat angrily dis.

Rioting in previous miners strikes
usually resulted from the acts Of
marching bodies of strikers, and the
sheriff. being apprehensive, is endeav-

campaigning. $st s

Shall the city have the power to con-,
tinue the operation of the free ferry to
Park Point or not? That is the ques-
held in November the people of the
city will be given all opportunity to
vote on it. This was decided by the
charter commission, which met in the
city hall last night for the first time
in eight months. The members met as
the result Of petition presented
them, containing the signatures Of 400
voters, asking that they submit to the
people at the coming election an
amendment to the charter, giving the
common council power to provide by
contract, or otherwise, for the operation
Of free ferry across the ship canal. !
The commission met promptly at s
O'Clock and was called to order by
Chairman Greene, who read the petit
ton and counted the names to ascer-
tain if it contained one-fifth of the
number voting at the last election.
After a very short discussion as to the
commission power in the matter, "a
motion carried that the desired amend
ment be drafted. 1t was accordingly
drawn up and signed by all the COM
missioners present, and it now goes to
the mayor, Who will have it placed on
the official ballots. .s
There was some slight reference dur
ing the meeting as to the advisa bility
Of submitting other apparently neces-
sary amendments to the people at the
same time, but fear was expressed that
the Importance Of other issues at the
election would overshadow the amend
ments to such an extent that it would
be impossible to inspire enough inter
est to carry them through. The low
limit OF the lighting fund, and several
clerical errors in the copies Of f the
charter, were the sections particularly
referred to. There was a disposition
among some Of the commissioners at
first to hold the ferry squest ton over
until the spring election, but In view Of
the fact that it was petitioned for, II
was held by 81 the ma jority that they
would be working contrary to the
Democratic spirit OF the charter that
the people should make the laws they
wanted II they deferred action.

At a meeting Of the Trades and La
Dor assembly last evening the commit
tee having charge Of the Labor day
program, and all the sub committees,
made their reports, which proved very
gratifying to the assembly both from
financial and social standpoint. A
vote of thanks was rendered to the
committee, the city officials, policefde-
partment, merchants and others or as
sistance in making the day successful.
Considerable routine business was
transacted by the assembly, and upon
report of committees it was found that
one or two barber shops and one black
smith shop are unfair at the present
time. In the case of the barber shop,
belonging to Mr.. Wilson, the assembly
voted to endorse the action of the bar
bers' union in placing a boycott upon
it: It was decided to give the commit
tee on grievances further time in which
to investigate. the matter of Mr.. Duffy,
who is also said to be unfair. #
The committee having in charge the
financial end Of the Labor day program
reported to the assembly that the total
poses were $S86.25. The total receipts
were $1,25S.39, leaving a. banance on
hand Of $372.14. A small part of that
amount is still unsolicited but is con-
sidered good. -. ~ $s..JH5
f. j. Dow, delegate from the station
airy engineers to the assembly, with
drew as delegate for the reason that
it has been impossible to get the en-
gincers together for about six months.
gret and vote of thanks was rendered
him for the efficient work done during
his several years connection with the
assembly. ~ -:#:t =.
Resolutions of sympathy were adopt
ed and ordered spread upon the records
of the assembly, in the case of the
death of Mrs. F. E. Grant, wife of a
former president of the assembly. A
copy of the resolutions was ordered
sent to the family. = n. ~.
A committee of five was appointed to
Investigate the charges preferred
against members of the flour handlers

ployed by an organization which is I'M
friendly to union labor. t =. Es@. ~
AS a result of the resignation of F. J.
Dow as a delegate to the Trades and
Labor assembly another memberao of the
free employment bureau will be APP
pointed by the assembly, as the bureau
