In 1881 I was selected to organize the
Roller Makers and Iron shipbuilders'
Union, between Chicago and the At
lantic. This society has since spread
all over the states (and Canada). the
last convention being held in the old
Capitol building, st. Paul, last June.
when over two hundred delegates were
in attendance. I came to Minneapolis
in 1884 and from 1886 to 1889 was
alderman Of the Seventh ward. This
was three-year record devoted to the
interest Of the toilers: Championed the
Gibson S-hour law, abolished the city
contract system. and got wages in
creased in general; was county COM
missioner from 1891 to 1895, and again
voted in the toilers' interest whenever
my vote would help them; took up the
street railway employees battles, and
was presented by them with a hand
some smoking chair for my stand for
conductors on street cars. And filed
for congress to give the working peo-
pie the chance to vote for a working
man IL they want to.
l have always been a Democrat. I
am heartily in favor Of the Democratic
national platform. and with the vote Of
the working people can be elected to
congress.
Will you please hand this to another
workingman.
Yours truly,
THOS. P. DIVER.
