adjourn until Miss RUBBISH was through
speaking. Miss RUBBISH began in a strong
but distinctively feminine voice, and i'm
mediately plunged into the subject The
men all listened attentively while she told
of the help woman is to a man, how they
assist the organized labor movement by the
label system, and ended by saying, 81 am
proud to know that my sisters are organic
ing leagues"
She left the room and was loudly APP
plauded. Soon after a beardless youth
made his way to the platform and Presi-
dent Gurley introduced him as Miss Ru-
BUSH" For a time the men could not be-
lieve their eyes. Some had gone so far as
TO cast sleeps eyes at Miss RUBBISH" At
length the joke was appreciated when the
lad spoke in the voice of Miss Rubbish and
smiled, displaying the same dimples in the
cheeks. His name is Lewis Gates, and his
father is member of Typographical
Union.
President Gurley delivered the first adj
dress. He gave q review of the organiza-
ton. He said that two years ago the ma

some distance and the Lambert girl was
thrown alongside the track and her right
arm was crushed by the wheels.
