who had married the man of her choice made
the discovery. when too late. that she was
totally unfitted for the duties she would have
experience in cooking anything besides fry

family that she was unwilling to hand over
the reins to her daughter, although the latter
was quite ready to learn. The mothers ex-

CENTRAL LABOR BODY
ALLIED ORGANIZATIONS OF
MONTGOMERY TO MEET.
Clerks Union Invited Last Night to
Join Other Associations in
Movement to Control Affairs
of Workingmen.

"A central labor body to have general
Jurisdiction over all labor organizations
IN Montgomery will be organized Friday
night, August 1, in the carpenters hall
over the Western Union office, on Com
merce Street.
The organization of the body will be
effected by committees representing all
union labor organizations in the city.
The promoters of the central labor body
expect that the meeting will be attended
by committees appointed from the, Bar
tenders Union, the Machinists' Union, the
Clerks Union, the two local divisions of
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers.
the local Typographical Union, the Brick
layers Union and the Order of Railway
Conductors.
The proposed organization will seek to
make close the bond and alliance between
the different organizations. 1t is, in
short, proposed to make the central labor
body the head of an alliance of organized
labor in Montgomery.
All grievances will be reported to: this
body which will pass upon them and map
out the course to be pursued by the SUI
coordinate organizations. Differences aris-
ing between the members of any union
and its employers will be passed upon by
the central body before any action Is
taken. If, at any time, a strike should
be imminent by any branch of union la
Dor, the central body is to first pass upon
the question at issue.
IL Is said that the body Will be pri-
marily charged with the duty of seeking
to settle trouble peaceably and amicably
before a strike is ordered. The friends
OF the proposed organization claim for II
the united support of all labor unions In
any course it adopts.
It was claimed last night that between
1000 and 1900 wage earners would, In
labor matters, be under the jurisdiction
Of the proposed central labor body.
The fact that such an organization was
to. be organized developed last night at a
meeting of the Clerks Union. The clerks
met In the sheriff's Office at the County
Court House and there was. a good at
tendance in spite of the rain.
The meeting was an executive session,
but 1t is known that a committee from
the Machinists Union called upon the
clerks with fraternal greetings The ma,
chtnIsts' committee was given cordial
reception. The committee called TO notify
the clerks that general meeting OF
committees from different unions would
be held Friday night to organize a GEN.
trail labor body.
The clerks were invited to send COM
Iuittee. The invitation was accepted and
a Committee from the Clerks Union was
named to attend the meeting.
The question of Sunday closing was
also brought before the clerks in their
executive session. 1t is understood that
some dissatisfaction existed because OF
certain merchants keeping portion OF
their clerical force at work on Sunday.
While the matter was discussed, it Is
understood that no definite action was
taken. The question will not for the
nresent be the subject of any conference
hetween the clerks and the merchants.
