and friends, who will take advantage of
the holiday to get away from the hur)y-
burly of the city and spend the day on
the banks of the old Potomac.
One of the hardest workers for the sue
cess of this outing is Mr.. Joseph Reilly,
business agent of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners. Mr.. Reilly
gained enviable reputation for his
square dealings between the bosses and
contractors and the workingmen he repre-
sents. Speaking of the business agent last
night boss carpenter said:
"Reilly's word is his bond, and he can
be depended upon for decisive and diplo-
matte action when an emergency arises.
He had the confidence of both sides of all
the controversies that have arisen in the
District between the journeyInen and their
employees The quick settlement of the re-
cent mill workers strike is an evidence of
how he does things"
