GETS MARCHING ORDERS
Philip Carlin, General Organizer, Takes
Trip for Carpenters.

A letter received by General Organ
izer Philip Carlin Thursday, from Gen
eral President William D. Huber Of the
International Brotherhood Of yCarpen-
tiers and Joiners. contained orders
which will send Mr.. Carlin on trip
which will consume several weeks.
He left Thursday evening for Grand
Rapids, Wis, where he will remain I'M
til about March, IS. From there he will
proceed to Oshkosh, Wis, Fond 'du Lac,
Wis, and Chicago. In the three latter
places two or three days will be spent
in each, after which Mr.. Carlin will go
to Sterling, ILL.,, at which place arrange
ments are being made for big open
meeting to be held the evening Of
March 81. Steps are being taken to
induce all non-union building trade
workmen to. turn out to the meeting,
and in addition the contractors have
been asked to be present and have one
of their number make an address. The
invitation has been accepted and the
secretary Of the Illinois Builders and
Traders Exchange has been selected
to talk for the employers. ~: s..
This is said to be the first move in a
plan to induce the contractors to come
into meetings of the workmen and set
forth their ideas as to what conditions
and wages, should be, and to treat with
the unions rather than to remain apart
and fight whenever something comes up
in the way of a demand on the part of
the men, which does not exactly suit
the emf loyers. It is said that this
movement has many s. friends both

ested and the employers, and assur-

Perhaps it is only fair to the mem

last Wednesday evening to say that the
resolutions were not adopted as they
were presented. The original contained
provision calling for an indignation

the remainder referred to the resolu-

There is feeling of dissatisfaction,
however, that the resolutions went thru

CARRYING LUGGAGE
Six Men in Minneapolis Transport
Cases of Travelling Men, Establishing
Steady Employment without Capital.
at Good Return.

Luggage carrying is getting to be
distinct occupation in Minneapolis.
Those stole figures which stand an sour
at time in front of jewelry stores,
smoking pipes, or occasionally cigars,
are luggage carriers, when they ARE
moving. Minneapolis has six, and
there is enough work for all.
The luggage carriers disdain carts, or
other accessories, for transporting their
loads Their sole capital is two
brawny arms, and an equally sturdy
pair of legs. With these they are able
to negotiate burdens that would make
an inexperienced man sweat and STUN
ble,. and finally give up.
While the members of the small fra
ternity place themselves at the disposal
of travelling statesmen in any line, the
iewelry men task the luggagiers with
the heaviest loads. Some of them
have four cases, besides the little hand
bag of valuable jewels which they deign
to carry themselves. When they start
out on their rounds of the stores they
call one of the luggage men. He picks
up the four sample cases as if they
were so much feathers, and drops in
behind the drummer. Sometimes he
keeps it up half day without rest and
then starts in again in the afternoon.
The cases required are carried into the,
store while the luggage man stands
guard outside.
Travelling men get SO that they in
sist on having certain men to do their
work. They have learned to know
them and in this way the luggagiers
estblish a line of custom just as news
boys do.

by the adjustment Of semi annual as
sessments. It is thought by the officers
that the dues will now prove sufficient
for all purposes, and that no further in
crease will be necessary. Eight mem
bers were added to the membership roll
last meeting night, and the prediction
is made that Minneapolis will soon be
