The Hotel and Restaurant EN-
ployees' International Alliance and
Bartenders' International League Of
America was reorganized in 1890.
The growth of the organization in the
past two years has been phenomenal,
over 500 charters having been issued.
There are at present 766 locals, Of
which number more than 500 are
composed of bartenders. The annual
convention will be held in Rochester,

Minneapolis Bartenders' Union, No.

growth Of the local since last March,
when there were but thirty members,
to 400 during the year, is due to the
hustling qualities of the officers.

The Garment Workers union is also
wrestling With an employers associa-
ton in Philadelphia, where serious
trouble is Threatened. In Buffalo, N.
Y, the union and the Clothiers' ,asso-
citation have reached a temporary
agreement regarding the difficulty be-
tween the manufac turers and the I'M
ion, and this may result in peaceful
relations for some time to- come., s.,,-a
The declaration of a large clothing
manufacturing establishment in Min
neapolis for the "open shop is so
fresh in the minds of local unionists
as to need no comment here. 3..1
But the Garment Workers union is
not the only organization which is re-
ceiving attention at the hands of the
employers associations. Detroit, Mich,
building contractors and some of the
building trade unions have locked
horns, and a letter received by a To-
cal official of the Painters union
states that Detroit employers say they
are carrying out a national agreement
| among the building contractorssi re-
fusing to consider any compact which
does not carry with 1t provision for
the "open shop" The communication
asked for information regarding the
attitude of local contractors in the
building trades lines toward the I'M
ions, and particularly, as to whether
the "open shop" issue had been forced
upon Minneapolis unions. = p,
| Taken as a whole the outlook is
somewhat unfavorable at this time
but the average labor leader in Mime
apolis believes that the opposition be-
ing encountered by the unions just
now will serve to stimulate them to
keep pace with changing conditions.

The Advocate, published at Port

and is always interesting. The edi-
torial writer has evidently had some
experience in politics for he writes
like a veteran. Under the caption
You Boys" he describes the glad
hand to CT He says:
"The glad nit is always out and
each expression is begun with you
boys" You boys" are in line right!
You boys have your present posi-
tions by the grace of the present ad-
ministration, you know Yes, and
we know some other things. Senator
Mitchell is not the issue, and well do
we know it. In the city and county
administration what positions do we
hold? What do we owe the city and
county administrations? We have
had the worst of it from start to fin
ish. The silk stocking gang has hand
ed the whole community a warm
bunch, and rely upon a grin, a strong
grip and the howl of you boys" It
is not the question of what the re-

the war, it is not the question of what
the so-called Mitchell forces did 20
