 The Amalgamated Society of Engi- neers, Blacksmiths, Toolmakers, Pat tern Makers, etc will hold an open air meeting on Grand street. between Bank and South Main streets on Monday evening next. All engaged in any of the above named crafts are invited to be present.
 Tickets@for the delegates endorsed by the Economic league to be voted for at the primaries on Monday after noon will be found at Buffers and Polishers' hall tomorrow, and can De secured by those desiring to use them. Of course they will be also be found at the voting booths in the various wards on Monday
 A regular semi-monthly meeting or the Central Labor union will be heid on Monday evening at the usual place. As there are several new delegates to be seated and the different unions will report upon the arrangements they have made for the Labor day parade the meeting is expected to be an un- usually interesting one.
 A meeting of the general arrange ment committee of the Central Labor union for the Labor day picnic will be held at Buffers and Polishers' hall to- morrow at II a. m As Labor day Is now only little over week away and much of the most important busi- ness remains yet to be attended to, it is hoped that every member will be present.
 The controversy between the Bak- ers' union and the South Main street baker still continues. The action of the local bakers in placing the bakery upon the unfair list has been endors- ed by the Central body of the city. As this is the only non-union bakery in Waterbury it is to be hoped that the difficulties may be adjusted without resorting to extreme measures.
 Tickets are going rapidly for the l Bartenders' clam bake at Moore's grove, North Main street on Sunday, August 24. The committee, owing to the season being further advanced can l furnish numerous delicacies and i'll q l fresh condition which was impossible l at their first bake. AS the number of tickets is limited it will be case of first come, first served and those de- siring to attend should get in their ap- plication for tickets early.
 The forthcoming Labor day souv- enir program promises to be credit l toNboth the Central Labor union and the persons who have 1t in charge. The business men of Waterbury have been very liberal in their patronage and it is assured that the book will be gotten out in a first class manner. It will consist of AS pages, printed on book paper and will contain histories of the different unions, cuts of off cers of the same and many other mat ters of interest. It will be we'll worth preserving.
 John Daly, William Flynn and John Flanagan were among the local repre-. sentatives at the International conyen- tion of Metal Polishers, Buffers, Plat CTS, Brass Workers and Brass Mould CTS held at Bridgeport this week The convention was conservative in its methods, but like other bodies of the kind was outspoken ill its demand fol shorter work day. The reduction ot hours from 10 to 9 has already beer accomplished for a large number oi it's members and it is expected that the latter will be the time set for al
 before another year passes. f The arrangements for the Labor
 day picnic and parade are progressing
 slowly but surely and in a manner
 satisfactory to those most concerned
 The bar privilege for the grounds has been let to Louis Orlando and til, privilege for games to Joseph Brusso : both at a considerable advance ove last years figures. One firm an
 nounces that they already have up wards of 60 contracts for decoratin; \ with bunting etc, which shows tha ; the business men propose to do thei
 share to make the day success
 Lines of business that formerly kep ? their places open on that day unti noon have signified willingness t
 close q couple of hours earlier il
 order to permit their employees to pai
 ticipate in the parade. Both evenin
 newspapers will suspend publicatio
 and nearly if not all of the factorie
 will shut down. Every union in tow
 will make an effort to turn out tn
 largest possible percentage of it's men
 bership and several will appear in uni
 forms purchased expressly for tn
 occasion. At least five bands will b in line and more than that numbe
 of drum corps, so music will not b
 found lacking. More complete plan . for the day will be arrived at at tn . arrangement committee on Sunda and at the Central Labor meeting o . Monday evening, and these will al pear in the daily papers during th !. coming week.
