WAGE EAHNEHS' CLUB.
At the last meeting OF the Centrai
Trades and Labor union, which was held
i'm Labor temple. there was receievd
communication from President Gompers,
I'm which he advised that the men who be-
long TO labor unions join hands In the
coming political campaign and insist ON
representation on tickets OF one OF tho
big political parties. In years past the
influence OF the labor organizations has
been largely I'm favor OF the Socialist
Labor party in this section. at least, al
though this influence has not been ex-
erted except as each individual saw fit.
Apparently President Gompers believes
that more satisfactory results can be Sc
cured 20 the cause OF labor by taking an
active political interest and he has thus
advised
1t is intimated now that at the next
meeting OF the union in this city this let
ter will be taken up and a movement Will
be made TO organize a wage earners club,
which shall become an active factor In
the fall campaign. II the plan is car
ried out the club will give its support 10
that political party whose platform best
meets its ideas OF what is right and then
will do what IL can TO secure one or more
OF it's representatives on the legislative
ticket when that ticket is made up. Such
a cluD ought 10 prove cOnSlucIdDlt tl I
factor in the campaign In this city and
IL will be interesting TO see Of which OF
the two big parties IT will give its sup
port
MILITIA NOTES.
Lieut.. Brit OF Troop A was quite badly
injured by a kick from the horse OF one
OF the troopers while on the way 10 Paw
tucket from Quonset Point last Saturday
afternoon. There was a halt OF the troop
on Benefit street, Providence, and Lieut..
Brit has dismounted and was standing
near the animal when without any warn
ing he let drive. II was a matter OF good
fortune that no bones were broken.
Several OF the members OF Troop A re-
ceived slight injuries during the week at
Quonset This was chiefly caused by the
horses some OF which developed consid-
erable viciousness.
The men belonging TO the three militia
in this city, in common with
those Of the other commands OF the state.
will now have a rest from drill duties
for the next two months. An order 20 this
effect is always issued by the brigade
directly following the week
at camp and II will be sent out I'm few
days. The only military duty which the
militiamen will have to attend TO this sum
mer will be at the state range. where N
is expected that every man In the COM
mand will spend n sufficient length or
time TO qualify I'm at least n marksmen's
class. Gen Tanner requires this OF every
man I'm the brigade and unless IL is done
the man Is not wanted in the service
