LABOR MEN OMITTED
One OF the Jokes being handed about
amor z the members OF the unions OF the
city Is the carefuness Of one OF the local
papers I'm omfttlng The names OF those OF
the leaders in this city from the list o.
those invited 20 the platform 20 hear the
speech OF Mayor Dunno last evening
The men are all saying that the omis-
sion OF the names was OF little concern
10 them. as they are not particular as 10
whether the publication ever mentions
them or not. but they laugh at the evident
pains taken 20 exclude them from among
those present. The only labor man there
whose name escaped tho eagle eyes Of
the man with the pencil was Mr. r. \.
Ripley. and he is having the laugh on his
friends.
There ware a number Of the labor lead
ers on the platform. both from this city
and from Pawtucket.
