STONE CUTTERS MEET.
The session OF the stone cutters that
WAS held last evening was very largely
attended and there was much business
transacted Tho meeting was called 10
order and the regular preliminaries OF
such a session begun.
The minutes OF the last session were
read and approved by the body and then
the reports OF the various committees
were I'm order The first OF these was
that of the membership body, which rec
onln' ended the names of several appIi-
cants for membership be taken under ad-
visement. This the union did imme-
dintely with the result that all OF them
were taken into membership and ini-
tiated. The reports OF the other com
mittees then followed. These showed
that the union was recovering from the
rec,rt strike OF some OF its members
in very creditable manner. All the
men that were out recently have now re-
turned and everything Is working very
smoothly.
A very interesting report OF the dolngs
at the convention IN Boston was had and
Il is thought that before all the delegates
leave for their homes those In attendance
that are connected with the Stone Cutters
union will be had In this city In an open
meeting OF the body II such thing
can be done the union feels that II will
be doing nothing out OF the way TO give
them a very hearty welcome and TO ex-
tend themselves In the entertainment Of
the guests. Nothing definite I'm the mat
ter can be done as yet for the reason
that N IL not certain that they will be
able 20 stop over here.
There were a number of other things
done at the meeting but they were OF a
nature not 10 be given out 70 the public.
After all the matters that were up
come before the body were disposed OF
the meeting adjourned.
CAR REPAIRERS,
The meeting which the Car Repairers
OF the city held In the hall OF that body
at the labor Temple was full Of interest
but OF short duration.
Tao meeting was called to order by the
president OF the body little after eight
o'clock and the minutes OF the last ses-
sion called for and read Then the other
items Of business were taken up and dis
cussed at some length. The discussions
were full OF interest and were more like
Joint debates than anything else. but they
amounted TO nothing IN the way Of busi-
ness The report were all OF a nature TO
show that the union though young Is fas
growing and gives every promise OF be-
ing one of the most lively OF the city.
After the disposal OF all the business that
was to come before the body the meeting
adjourned
