AIMING the many OeleSateS TO the l.. L.
U. convention which is meeting in Wash
ington this week there are men who have
come from distant parts. and not few
that have had many adventures. Guy c.
Harris. delegate to the convention from
Galveston, Tex, went through the great
flood there a couple of years ago.
Mr.. Harris was the secretary of his local
union at the time of the flood His home
was one of those which were completely
swept away, and he lost nearly every
thing he had In the world hor
three weeks he had to sleep without q
bed, wherever he could find a place to Law
his head. OF course, all of his stationery
was lost, too-that is all except four or
nve sheets bearing the uniol. letter head.
These Mr.. Harris kept very carefully. and
at the earliest opportunity wrote short let
tiers on them to some of his typographical
brothers In other cities. These have been
saved as fine souvenirs of the awful flood
as Mr. Harris intended.
On Mr.. Harris card this year is a pic
ture of a section of the new sea wall that
Is being raised around the city of Gal
weston.
Miss Cathcart Is the only lady who has
presented credentials a regular delegate
to the 1. T. U. convention. She Is not a
member Of the Ladies' Auxiliary, but q
OF st. Joseph. Mo- There have been ladies
at several previous conventions. but their
number has been SO small that their pres
ence is still regarded as an interesting
innovation.
Taylorsville sends a delegate renresen+-
ing smaller number Of men than anv
delegate in the convention. TaylorsviIIe
Union has only twelve members. Cripple
creek, Col, comes next. with fourteen and
after that Meridian. Miss, with twenty
three.
