III an arrangement to give away. alb
solutely FREE, an elegant Piano to
some lodge, church, school, club or
other organization of the county.
The plan is a novel one and at once
commends itself to the public, there
being no outlay on the part OF anyone
other than the people who are doing
this to stimulate cash trade and at
the same time popularize their place
OF business and bestow a lasting and
valuable gift that will be a perma-
nent advertisement for them.
Briefly stated the plan is this: Each
firm who is interested in the contest,
is provided with voting tickets, and
foreach ten cents worth OF goods pur-
chased or work done, issues a ticket
emitting the holder to one vote. The
ticket can be voted for the church,
lodge, society orclubof the purchasers

ties to one vote, twenty cents to two
votes, fifty cents to five votes, one
dollar to ten votes, five dollars to fiji
ty votes, and so on. These tickets
should be filled out in ink or indelible
pencil, the merchant filling in amount
of purchase and number of votes, the
customer filing in forw which church,
lodge or other organization the vote
is to he castand name of voter. There
must be no erasure or alterations on
the tickets. They can only be had from

have been suggested, but officials say that
there is no possibility of removing the ex-
ecutive offices from New York, as that Is
not only the most central city of the union,
but the greater center of the trade. The
backbone of the garment workers is in the
East, and the proposition to bring the head
quarters to indianapolis does not meet with
favor. The union has a membership of
5000, distributed over the United States
and Canada in 255 local unions.
The finance and credentials committee,
composed of John Il. Lawrence, of New

transacted all business preliminary to the

and an address of welcome will be given

affair will surpass anything the local bar

include either Secretary w. b. Wilson or
Vice President T. b. Lewis of the United

GARMENT WORKERS.


Beginning tomorrow morning and con-
tinuing throughout the week, the United
Garment Workers of America will hold
their annual convention in the assembly
hall of the Claypool Hotel. About two
hundred delegates from all parts Of the
country mainly from the East. have al
ready arrived, and are stopping at the En-
glish, which will be the headquarters of
the visitors. The remainer Of the delegates
will arrive to-day. The executive officers
reached the city Thursday and Friday to
make preliminary arrangements for the
convention. They are: President b. A.
Larger, of CINCINNATI; General Secretary
Henry White, of New York; Treasurer A.
Bromley, of Utica, N. Y. Auditor j. Crouch,
of New York, and G. Z. b. Member Abe
Gordon, of Boston, and Trustees Hertfelder,

The convention will be the largest ever
held by the garment workers, and num-
ber of important questions will come be-
fore ii to be settled, among them the ques-
tions of biennial sessions, the increasing
of per capita tax and local dues, the
establishment of the sick and death benefit
system, and uniform system of work for
the tailoring branch of the trade. The cleo
tion of officers, however is considered the
most vital question of the convention. The

The Garment Workers have decided that
they will not ride in cabs and will not par

take more union cabs than the local union
could furnish to provide for all the garment
workers, so that the latter's decision set
ties a question which has been worrying
the cab drivers for some time
1t has been decided that the parade will
form on West street, resting north and
south of Washington street. The parade
will be in seven divisions, an aid to each
division. The Cigar Makers have been
given first place in the parade. The aids
were appointed as follows: Charles Roster,
