Every delegate should endeavor to

Several of the striking buffers and
ppolishers from the Clock shop have
left town to accept more remuneratfve
positions Others still remain here,
firm in the belief that an grievances
viii be satisfactorily adjusted in the
near future.
The Amalgamated Society Of Engi-

viii hold their regular business meet
Ing this evening in Foresters' hall, ISL
Bank street at p. m. All members
are requested to attend as there will

The Retail Clerks union appears to
be in q prosperous condition at this
time, no doubt largely through the per-
sistent efforts of President Black.
With so able and energetic executive
in control IL needs but the cooperation
of those engaged in this line OF BUSH
ness to make this one of the strong
est organizations IN the city.
There will be a meeting Of the Troll
leymen's union at Buffers and Polish
ers' han tomorrow, Sunday, at 10 a.
m. sharp. One of the members Of the
union states that business Of more i'm
portance than the settlement of the
trolley strike will probably come be-
fore the netting" If this is true there
should be a large attendance.
The union printers are making every
endeavor to make success Of their
clambake on Sunday September 6. The
affair is not run for the purpose of
making money, but merely to have
splendid time for themselves and in
vited friends. But SO tickets were
printed and when these are exhausted
the 'tpoI1s are closed" and no more can
be secured at any price.
Officers of the Barbers' union deny
emphaticaIIy that there is any truth
in the story that union shop proposes
to give reduced rates for shaves bought
by the month and paid for in advance.
AS those high in authority in the Bar
bers' union disclaim any knowledge
and members of the Master BARRIERS
association talk in the same manner
tits strange where the rumors came
from.
The strike of the buffers and polish
ers at the Clock shop remains about
the same as last week. The strikers
admit that they are running about the
full quota. so far as members go, but
claim that the output is far below
what it was before the strike. or Of the
liz
confident that there viii be develop
ments in the>near future bv which the
old hands win return to their former
positions.
Richard White Of Buffers and Pol
ishers' local, Ne 81, and Jeremiah Scul-
" OF Brassworkers, No 1856, returned
from their international convention on
Tuesday. They report very interest
ing meeting at which much important
business was transacted. John T.
Daily of No 81, and third vice-president
remained to attend the meeting of the
executive council and is expected home
to-day.
The Bartenders'. clambake ON Sun
day was one of the most largely at
tended of any Of the bakes ever held
in or about Waterbury and those pres
ent speak in the highest terms OF the
manner in which they were treated.
While the number present considerably
! exceeded expecta tons. an guests were
amply provided for the members of
the union refusing to partake OF the
good things in evidence until all others
were satisfied.
As was expected the meeting Of the
Central Labor union on Monday night
was largely attended. Preparations
for Labor day was the order of the
hour and to Judge from the reports Of
The various Delegates Of the affiliated

viii be held on Monday night at which
fine complete details viii be given
for the observance OF the day.
The president has ordered that all
employees of the public printing office
who have not done so must take the
oath of allegiance. Twenty-Five heads
of departments at once took the oath
