RETAIL CLERKS SESSION.
Things among the unions will now begin
to boom for the next few weeks for the
reason that as the year is about to come
to close the most OF them are electlng
the new officers who will bear the brunt
OF the struggles OF the individual or
ganizations for the next year.
There are only a few OF the orga 1iza-
tons that do not choose officers some time
during this month This the Carpenters
viii do, the Retail Clerks. tho BARRIERS,
and in fact with but few exceptions all
the unions of the city. Owing II the fact
that but recently there was sucn q large
meeting or the Retail Clerks when that
union meets tomorrow night there viii
be much 10 come before Il for discussion.
One OF the main bits OF business that
will be disposed OF will be the nom'na-
fions for the officers To be elected mt
subsequent meeting
There Is always much interest manifest
cd In these nominations and this year the
Interest seems TO be greater for the rea-
son. that the membefship has Increased
- marveiously that there ara now
greater number in the organzation w',o
take active part In the workings OF the
union One OF the other things that will
come before the body will be the hear
ing of the report OF tho entertainment
committee that 30 ably cared for the
guests OF the union upon the occasion
of the open meeting that was held. There
will also be an unusually large number
OF candidates to be considered at the
meeting since none have been taken in
TOR month now.
Taken altogether one of the most in
teresting meetings OF the month will be
that OF the Clerks TO take place to-
morrow night in the hall occupied by
that body at es weybosset street. Since
the open meeting that was held few
weeks ago many OF the clerks OF the city
who had paid no attention, or but little
20 the workings OF the order have ex-
pressed desire 10 become identified with
the movement and II Is very likely that
a number OF them will be initiated when
the session convenes tomorrow evening.
One OF the most interesting things con-
utCicu Win tne history or the body ie
the fact that 80 many OF the ladies' who
are employed I'm the capacity OF clerks
among the city stores are becoming
members OF the organization.
