FOR A LABOR TEMPLE
Unions May Try to Secure the OIL

Unions May Try to Secure the Old
City Hall.
For some time past there has been talk
in labor circles of an effort being made
to secure the old city hall building as
headquarters for the various labor
unions of the city, and the matter took
definite shape this week when the Union
into the feasibility Of such a. scheme.
Wednesday night the Trades Council took
similar action and named a committee of
seven to aid in the work. Whatever may
be said for or against the acquisition of
the old city hall as labor headquarters,
there has been a feeling among trade
unionists for some time that the present
locations of vast majority of the local
unions were undesirable and that a change
should be made. The committee met yes
terday at Alexander's hall and after dis
cussing the project decided to submit
the matter to the unions interested for
decision. The Union, the official organ
Of the State Federation Of Labor and of
the local Trades Council, in referring to
the matter, says editorially to-day:
There are many reasons why the old
city hall would make a good building for
labor headquarters. 1t is within a
couple of blocks of nearly every street
car line in the city. and many pass di-
rectly by it, It could be easily arranged
to accommodate all the unions, and there
could be one large hall which would ac-
commodate any convention or special
meeting which would call together un-
usually large crowds. It Is conspicuous,
and would add largely to the prestige Of
organized labor if 1t. could be said that
this building, one of the landmarks Of
the city, was controlled by organized Ia
Dor. 1t is near the industrial center of
the city. and there could be established
and maintained an employment agency,
either under municipal control or by the
organizations themselves. which would
put stop to the impositions of private
employment agencies The large unions
could have room for their business agents
offices. and the smaller unions could find
first-class accommodations at reason
able rental. There is no monument which
would speak better for the progress of
our city than labor temple devoted to
the interests of the workingmen, and all
classes should assist in advancing the
movement ''ssz&t 7sfs IS

Mill Owners xatIsfied, -

The union officials here say that the
mill owners seem to be very we'll satisfied
with things locally and that all is peace
full and harmonious on both sides.
The officers of the international union
are as follows: John M. Finley, president
and A. E. Kellington, secretary-treas asurer
both of Minneapolis; George Snyder, first
vice president, Murphysboro,. ILL.,; G. Is.

ecutive board is composed Of John M. Fin
ley, A. e. Kellington, G. p. Darth, William
A. McNair, w. J. Martin, Joel Bishop and
Thomas Curran, all of whom are residents
of this city. The headquarters Of the
international are at room 122, Corn Ex-
change. 49, .~,
Already the mill employees are making
prepare tions for their first annual conven-
ton. which will be held in this city the
week of June 1920. A large attendance
is expected. On the evening Of June 10 it
is the intention to hold a mass meeting, at
which President John Mitchell or Samuel
Gompers will make an address, and Satur-
day, June 20. will be the date of the an
nual millers' picnic, which will close the
week. The conference committee has
these matters in hand, and nothing will
be left undone which would add to the
success Of the occasion. - -: ~. 4

for# this reason he said it would be a

a KICK THAT BOOSTS
A Man That Is Perfectly Satisfied with the
Andrews Home Heater.

T. B. Fredenal Of Eaton, Colorado,
takes novel way to express his satsfac-
ton with the heating plant sent him from
Minneapolis He writes: I'VE are hav-
ing so much comfort with the Andrews
Heater recently put up in our house, that
I feel like having my say and registering
my kick. The*s'kick' is this: vs.
Il don't believe 1t is possible to have
a. house with a more even temperature in
extreme weather Will an equal amount Of
fuel, and no trouble or annoyance, by any
ether heating method. It is Ill I looked
for and I expected q great deal. will
be glad to tell the truth and nothing but
the truth to any one interested in q
heating plant. !"
Now this is a good sample Of what
many others write and say. If you want
to know more about the Andrews cele-
brated system Of hot water heating for
