Reception to Labor Leader
And an ELOQUENT Address

One Of the largest and most represent
atiye la Dor meetings ever held in Tucson
occurred at Odd Fellows hall last Satur-
day evening. The occasion was recep.
tion of Grand President George Estes of
the. United Brotherhood OF Railway En-
ployes, by the local lodge.
All of the local unions were invited to
attend the meeting. Mr.. Estes gave a
lecture to laboring men, and this no
doubt was the drawing card. Mr. Estes
bis most pleasing and interesting talker
and his lecture was full of interest. It
was certainly appreciated by those pres
ent, for he held the attention of his
audience for two hours. Mr.. Estes will
give another lecture on labor topics in
the near future. His talks are very
profitable for the laboring classes and
should be largely attended.
After the lecture last Saturday even
ing the local lodge of U. B. of Il. +.
gave short entertainment for the guest
OF honor. A banquet was served later
in the evening.
A branch office of the e. B. OF r. f..
will be established in Tucson and Viii
Harris, secretary OF the local lodge will
have charge of it. He will also be made
organizer for the S. P. line from Yuma
to Ell Paso. This lodge is one of the
most progressive in the city. 1t now
contemplates organizing trades council
in the city. A trades council is COM
posed OF one or more representatives of
all local unions. This body is, as it
were, a board of directors for all labor
organizations. Its formation, no doubt,
would strengthen unionism in the city
and be productive of much good.
