Through the activity OF Vincent Avail
lone. primarily, there was a meeting OF
the master BARRIERS last night In Pales-
tine hall The meeting was announced

made a short address, the purpose OF
which was TO explain the meaning Of the

needs OF such an organization. Several
others OF the more prominent men pres
ent responded to the invitation to make

At the meeting last night nothing was
done relating to the future bearing OF the

was to organize and TO discuss the situa-
tion more lucidly. that action in the
future might be more concerted.
From the indications last night the
masters augur great prosperity for the
council and anticipate a rapid increase
In the membership. since many Interested
could not be present last night or have
not been approached on the subject as
yet Such an organization formerly ex-
listed In the city but the necessity was
not so apparent as now, so the masters
think. and after few spasmodic meet
ings enthusiasm waned and the organiza-
tion died n natural death.
II Is predicted that such a fate will not
attend the life OF the present body.
The BARRIERS union held an enthusiastic
session last night In their rooms at the
Labor Temple, with the president occupy
ing the chair. Several reports OF the va
rious committees were made which evok-
ed a voluminous round OF applause. This
was especially true when the Labor Day
committee made its report. So pleased
was the body with the report that from
recognition Of the fact that n great part
they voted 10 appoint n committee to pro-
cure a suitable token TO be presented 10

wah allowed the floor The purpose OF
Mr. Hackett's talk was 10 get the team
