WANT SALOONS
ALL To CLOSE
ON LABOR DAY

Labor men are uniting this year 10 have
all the saloons in this city closed on
Labor day.
The labor day committee will ask all
the saloon men TO close, and will also
agitate the question among the people so
that there may be none open.
In years past the saloons have been
open all day. and many have deplored
this fact. This year II is hoped TO make
the day in every way an ideal one for
the celebration. and In their efforts the
labor men expect TO have the aid OF the
clergy.
The question OF tho best methods to
adopt was 10 have been taken up at the
meeting OF the committee last evening,
but was deferred 10 the next meeting.
The labor men feel that II they can ac-
complish their purpose they will have
achieved something much 10 the general
good OF the city as we'll as TO themselves.

Every captain was given to understand
that he will be held rigidly responsible for
his district. and must hold all OF his sub
ordlnatcs likewise.
IL there are illegal sales OF liquor in
drug stores, lodging houses. boarding
houses and third class hotels. they must
be slapped, or the captains and those who
fail TO report and to stop such lawbreak-
Ing will hear from the commissioners in
no uncertsin tone.

captains in the chiefs Office half an hour,

When seen by a representative Of the
News-Democrat just after the meeting,
Chairman Luther said:
I'VE discussed local conditions general

:, The bosrd has understood for soma
time that certain persons were taking ad-
vantage OF the fact that the commiss,yn
was occupied with the consideration Of
the Cristy- Matthews case. and were evad-
ing or cefying the liquor laws OF the
state.
This applied particularly. as we under
stood IL TO certain drug stores, lodging
houses. boarding houses and third class
hotels, We Rave had talks with the pro
prietors OF some of these phases. and

be dealt with severely unless they obey

The hoard has issued general instruc-
tions TO the chief OF police 10 look after
these matters; and II will hold him very

The members Of the unions in the coun-

SOME FRICTION OVER
LABOR DAY MARSHAL

Quite hubbub has been raised over
the manner OF election OF chief marshal
for the Labor day parade; and all sorts
OF rumors are flying.
BY agreement made several years ago.
It was decided that the Building Trades
council and the Central Labor union
should alternate from year 10. year In
the selection OF the marshal Last year
the secretary OF the Central Labor union
sent letter 20 the council stating that
his body would waive the right 10 nomi-
nate at that time and asking that the
council name two candidates, but allow
the central body the right TO cast vote.
This was done; and the two bodies
through their delegates voted, both can
cidatex being from the council.
This year II was understood that the
council would place no candidate IN the
field. and before the time FOR the noni-
nation an those who desired 70 be cam
didates from the Central Labor union
were named.
AT the last meeting OF the centrai oooy
the nominations were made, and severai
ca andidates declined in favor or George
