THE EAST SIDE
ST. ANTHONY COMMERCIAL CLUB
MEN PLAN CAMPAIGN FOR
BOOSTING THAT SECTION OF
MINNEAPOLIS.

Forward the East Side'' was the
war cry adopted at the ST. Anthony
Commercial club last evening, where
$50 East Side business men gathered
to inaugurate boosting campaign for
their section Of the city. The meeting
was under the direction of the retail
merchants subcommittee Of the club
and was primarily in the interest Of
the East Side retail business, but no
single line of business activity was ad-
hered to and there was manifest will
to carry forward everything in sight.
The business session was preceded by
"a banquet, F. w. Campbell presiding
and acting as POSTMASTER. The speak
ers were j: G. Haynes, mayor elect,
Robert Jamison, Alderman W. E. Sat.
terlee, G. NJ. Way, A. n. Boyce and
A. G. Lennon. Mr.. Haynes called at
tentlon to some Of the new things that
are due to arrive in the East Side in
side the next year, announcing that
several large enterprises are to estab-
llsh there. Judge Jamison followed
the same general line urging the value
OF concerted effort and extensions that
will make the district more than ever
a popular trade center. ),
Ways and means for advancing. the
East Side cause were discussed by the
other speakers. Alderman Satterlee
spoke Of what the East Side may ex-
Pect from the city in the future. These
improvements include a new bridge at
Third avenue 8 connecting with First
avenue Sc. The paving Of University
avenue Sc to the city limits, and water
and sewer extensions for the benefit Of

STRUCTURES AT UNION STA
TON.

Both bridges across the railway
tracks at the union station Bridge
square, are in a dangerous condition
and thoro inspection is being made un-
der the direction of City Engineer An

they are. $780,. -

Clipped scales more than an eighth of
an inch thick off the floor beams and
rust from the iron work and conden-
sations from the smoke Of the locomo-
tives. When it was removed it was
shown that the iron work had been
greatly weakened by corrosion.
One Of the bridges spans the st.
Louis tracks and the other the Great
Northern. It was the latter which
dropped beam about two years ago
and let a trolley car partly thru. At
ter the accident the Great Northern
reinforced the bridge and made it TEN.
porarily safe.
Some time ago the company was di:
rected to provide a new bridge, and
in compliance with the order submitted
plans which were approved by City
Engineer Rinker. Shortly afterward
the city was notified that the iron had
been ordered.
Recently Mr. Rinker had occasion to
| inquire what progress had been made
on the bridge and was somewhat sur
prised to learn that construction had
been delayed until next spring, as the
railway company was unwilling to dc
any concrete work in cold weather.
AS the present condition of the
| bridges is not satisfactory to Mr.. Rim
| ker, he will order further temporary
strengthening if the results of the in
| spectlon will warrant such action.

.G0MPERS TO WRITE
HISTORY OF LABOR.
HE CLOSES CONTRACT WITH a
MINNEAPOLIS PUBLISHER.
Tho He Has Written Much In the way
Of Pamphlets and Magazine Articles,
He Says This Work Is to Be His one
Great Literary Effort.

No one incident Of the present con-
vention of the American Federation Of
Labor. now in session in MINNEAPOLIS.
will be of wider interest to the great
labor world than an agreement entered
into by President Samuel Gompers with
a Minneapolis publisher, Dugal Cree
Of the Cree Publishing company, where
BY Mr.. Gompers agrees to write for the
Minneapolis publisher a history Of Ia.
Dor and the labor movement.
President Gompers has been a pro-
hattering,o said Mr.. Gompers today. III
have been confined to labor pamphlets
| and articles on current labor topics for
the labor and general periodicals Of the
country. For years he has been re.
peatedly urged. by prominent labor men
| and by publishers to write a more pre-
tentious work which should be stand.
ard authority and history of the rise
and growth Of the labor movement.
"Tho these offers have been most
t1aterlng,''' said Mr.. Gompers today, ;" I
have felt that my time and attention
and that others might write the story
Of it. I have refused all offers M to
the present time, and Mr.. Cree here is
the only man who has been able to
bring me seriously to consider it, much
less enter into an agreement. This will
be the only pretentious work I shall
attempt. I do not know how LARGE 81
will be, but it will at least run into
several volumes in order to do Justice
to the movement under consideration.
sThe work will be. wide in its scope,
and, 1 hope, will be a credit to our
| cause. I believe it will be interesting
and it will at least be truthful. nv
hope is that it may prove Of value as
history Of labor and have value as
textbook for students Of economics
and sociology. I shall, Of course, con
tinue my current work for our publica-
tions, but this will probably be my
only pretentious effort''
Prominent labor men who are in Min.

President Gomperss will undertake this
work. He is believed to be the one

Turkeys are coming into the market
IN such numbers that there need be no
fear Of a turkey famine. The usual
rise in the price Of the holiday bird has
not developed, and turkeys Of every size
may be bought at reasonable prices.
Dressed turkeys were quoted yester-
day at from IL to II cents a pound,
only 21a cents higher than choice cuts

at the same rate charged for the best

rise in prices before Thanksgiving

there is a shortage and some families
