deal of space to such conferences on
that day For a time these Sunday
convocations used To be known as
Platts sunday school class" It was
in somewhat the same way that the
"amen corner" originated. II came TO
be the custom for Republicans who
called at the hotel to exchange notes
with others or to ask Mr. Platt's in

man" by the Curtiss Co. last night
augurs a healthy prospect for the
enterprise. Central Labor union
delegates attended in a body and
the house was filled with union Ia
Dor men and their friends. In ad-
dition to the interest demanded by
the bill, warmly contested tug of
war match on the stage between
the electrical workers and the
Building Trades alliance team gave
the evening a strenuous feature.
The electrical workers won, but
they lost so much skin from their
hands in doing it that they will
not be able to keep their engage

union team. If possible another
match will be arranged today. One
of the best spectacular features of
the play Is the anvil chorus. The
