Committees Have Been Working and
Are Making Good Progress.
The Labor Day committee met Tues
day evening, and the reports of COM
mittees showed that preparations for
the proper observance of the day are
going forward at rapid rate. Every
committee reported progress, the pa
rade committee reporting the compile
ton of all its work pending the ac-
tual start of the parade. The sports
ing uo list of contests that would at
trac! great attention, and the prize
committee reported that it would have
prize list ready for the sports commit
tee at the next meeting.
The dance committee has everything
ready for the favorite pastime and
this feature OF the celebration will be
doubly attractive because of the good
music that will be provided, the dane
ing floor and the attention given to the
comfort of the dancers. The grounds
committee reported the contract en-
teed into with the management of Cap
ital Beach, and the contract ratified.
The printing committee will have the
window cards out this week, and the
big tri-colored posters will be ready
by the first of next week.
A request from the Master Horse
shoers' union for place in the line
was discussed at length. This is an
association of employers. The mat
ter was referred to the blacksmiths'
union.
The committee will meet at the old
C. L. U. hall, 1884 o street, next Mon
day evening, at which time it is ex-
pected that every committee will have
a report ready.
Word comes from Beatrice that the
union men of that city are figuring on
celebrating Labor Day in Lincoln, and
it is likely that committee will be
sent down from Lincoln to confer with
the Beatrice unionists.
The indications now are that the
1908 celebration of Labor Day in Lin
coin will be the greatest in the his
tory of trades unionism. The unions
are taking hold of the matter with a
spirit of energy that is highly pleasing.
