OF LABOR

Last night the most enthusasuc meet
ing among the Labor Unions was that OF
the plumbers that was held In the Labor
Temple The masor portion OF the even
ing was spent in transacting the regular
routine affair pertaining TO the body.
There were several OF the reports OF the
committees that were full Of interest and
aroused much discussion. The report that
aroused the most enthusiasm was that or
the ball committee. This committee re-
ported that all the plans were maturing
fast and the time came for the entertain-
ment there would be everything provided
that would make the heart happy. A
competent orchestra was engaged and all
who attended would be guaranteed an en-
joyable evening.
The matter OF the election of business
agent was deferred till the next meeting
Mr.. Mccormack had turned all his books
and matters pertaining TO the union over
TO Mr. Dunn and he is now acting In that
capacity. At present there are two or
three candidates for the position but only
one OF them seems 10 have anything ike
q sure thing in the election. His name
cannot be mentioned but OF all those de-
sirous OF having the position he shows
the most ability, 80 those who are In au-
thority seem 10 think. At any rate the
contest will be somewhat warm and only
the best man Will win.
The members OF the union are JubDant
over the placing OF the name OF one OF the
prominent members OF their union on the
ficket for assemblyman. They say he
is bound 10 win not only because re Is
a member OF their union but because he ts
a good man for the position, and .epre-
sentative one.
1t is reported that the Apprentices union
IL proving a great success and greater
boon TO those who are members OF II. 1t

older organization and is looked after by
that body. They met the other night and

follows: President, Frank Donnelly: vice

OF the members OF the organization 20
