previous conventions appeared to
have quite an audience, but the attend
ance at the concerts this year did not
warrant the continuation of the music
al brigands' performance. The dele.
gates were surely there for business
and while it may be noted from a
laws were promulgated, they were
such laws as the organization really
needed, and it is safe to assume If the
general membership will but give the
amendments to the constitution the at

One Button for All.
The idea for a button for all union
members, which has recently beea
presented by John G. Rossow of Chi
cago, is attracting the attention of a
large number of labor union men CT
this country. The suggestion offered
by Mr.. Rossow provides for revcrs-
IDLE button, one side to mean Il am
working" and the other to indicate
81 am looking for work." 1t is the
opinion of Mr.. Rossow that there
should be a uniform button worn by
the organized labor men throughout
the United States and suggests that
one side be white and the other red,
and that the members of the local I'M
ions be instructed that the wearing of
the white side out significant that the
wearer is working and the red side
worn out that he is hunting employ
ment 1t is also suggested that each
international union adopt some appro-
pirate inscription, one of the main OBJ
jects being the making of rendering
assistance much simpler.
1t is stated that the suggestion of
Mr.. Rossow will probably be offered to
the American Federation of Labor for
consideration. -
Trades and Labor Assembly.
The next regular meeting of the
trades and labor assembly will be
held on Wednesday evening, June %,
at which time the semi-annual cleo
ton of officers will take place. All
delegates of affiliated organizations
are urgently requested to be- present.
The assembly has large amount OF
business to transact and requests the
different unions to see their full dele
cations in attendance. The labor day
committees will report together with
many other committees. Probably the
most interesting meeting of the assem-
bly, will be held on that evening. iig
