Hailed by Committee at
Yesterdays Meeting.

'T worked one day for the coliseum
did you?"
This is the latest and most approved
plan for raising the funds necessary for
the erection of a coliseum for st. Paul.
Briefly the plan is to set aside a day,
preferably in May, on which every man,
woman and child in the city, will turn in
his or her days wages to the coliseum
fund.
The idea was presented to the execu-
tive committee at the meeting held yes
terday afternoon in the Commercial
club rooms by Valentine Heinrich. Mr..
Heinrich suggested that every person in
the city give one days income and re-
ceive in return a badge bearing the
words quoted above The plan proposes
to secure the interest of every organi-
zation in the city, fraternal, labor and
the like and to have them handle lie
funds from the members Of each organi-
zation. The city is to be thoroughly
canvassed and every person from the
highest to the lowest is to he asked to
give up the proceeds of one days labor
for the coliseum.
