BAKERS GOOD MEETING.
There seems TO have been new impetus
| given to the meeting of the Bakers union
! from the number attending and the en-
thusiasm manifested last Saturday even
ing at the session.
very large number OF the members
were on hand and took a very lively inter-
eat In the business TO be transacted.
There were several matters 10 come be-
| fore the meeting relative TO the strength
ening Of the body. and all OF them met
with the general approval when put be-
! fore the house.
II had been noticed that the strength
, OF the local seemed 10 be falling of n
little, and efforts are now being put forth
| 20 have the local take tho prominent place
! II formerly held.
To do that several propositions were
made and adopted last Saturday tending
/ 10 that end.
| When all OF them had been put I'm opera
| tion IL Is thought that the local will be-
come far greater power than hereto
] fore.
The report OF the delegate TO the Central
body occupied great part OF the atten-
| ton Of the body and was discussed at
some length. The matter OF the extend
| ing OF the use OF the label came up and
several plans were started with that end
In view.
Several new members were added and
/ when all the business was concluded the
! session ended.
/ BARTENDERs TO NOMINATE oFFI-
GERS.
At the meeting OF the Bartenders' union
| yesterday afternoon there were many
| items of an interesting nature TO come
before the meeting and when the session
! closed there was not one OF the members
| present who could say that he was not en-
tertained with the discussions as well and
| given a good insight into the workings
| OF the body.
The first thing done after the calling
! OF the meeting to order was the report
| OF the membership committee and the
| business agent.
From the report II was seen that there
were four men ready for initiation and
six applications 20 be placed at the mercy
OF the body till the next session.
The report was received with welcome
| and the committee congratulated. The
next subject to como before the meet
| ing was the coming smoker 10 be held on
! the evening for the installation OF offi-
GERS.
At the next meeting the nominations
| will he In order and every bartender will
be expected to be in attendance.
The committee appointed for the smoker
has for It's chairman Mr. William j.
| Power; Michael Nay. secretary, and
/ Messrs. John Thompson, ]. J. Dolan J. r.
Hayes. Phil Agnew and p r. Bowen.
/ II Is thought that this will be enlarged
| 10 about 25 by the time the event comes
| to pass
The reports OF the committees then oc-
| cupied much OF the time. That on de-
| ceased members stated that within the
| past two weeks three OF the members
! had died and proper action taken Since
| the announcement was made last evening
another has been added TO the list.
| The delegate TO the Central body made
report. showing what action was taken
| on all matters OF interest 10 or pertain
| ing to the working OF the Bartenders'
| local. The delegates were given a vote
! of.'hsnks. The committee on the several
! grievances that have arisen In the past
/ few weeks made a report as to the
! progress made.

the settlement of the matter with the
| Shepard company stated that Mr.. Tisdale
| the manager. had not been seen yet and
