ENGINEERS PLAN TO
PERFECT THEIR UNION
CROWD HEARS ADDRESSES AT
BURBANK HALL
Shorter Hours Cry of Men Who Say
Their Lives Are Endangered by
Length of the Present
Shifts

Burbank hall, on Main street, was
nearly filled last night by an enthu-
siastic crowd gathered In answer to
call from organizers of the American
Federation of Labor to the stationary
engineers of the city for the purpose
of further perfecting the union of
this branch of engineering.
Among the speakers were the gen.
era1 president of the International Sta
tionary Engineers and the general Or
ganizer of the United Association of
Steam Filters and Plumbers, e. w.
Leonard, who made a most vigorous
and dramatic appeal for organization.
and elaborated in detail upon the fact
that only in Los Angeles are the sta
tionary engineers-especially In our
large public buildings, where they
have the lives of hundreds of human
beings constantly In hand-forced by
labor conditions to work twelve hours
a day.
In most other cities, he said, where
the men have organized, they have
increased their wages and reduced
their shifts to eight hours q day.
He stated that the law should make
1t criminal for stationary engineers,
who have so many lives dependent on
their clear brains and cool nerves, to
work over eight hours day. as work.
ing longer than this they did not get
the proper amount of sleep, rest,
recreation and time for study and ed
ucation In their own profession.
Among others who addressed the
meeting, and who was received with
great enthusiasm, was the general Or
ganizer for the American Federation
of Labor, William E. Terry, who paid
The Los Angeles Herald many COM
pliments, stating that it was the only
paper in Southern California, as he
believed, which had had the courage
to denounce the printed falsehoods
sent broadcast from this city to the
east concerning high wages and plen-
tiful work in Los Angeles.
Thanks The Herald
He dwelt at some length upon The
Herald's attitude in this manner,
lauding 1t as the truest champion of
the laboring classes. His~words were
received with much applause.
THE Herald has shown itself our
friend in this as in other matters, 3"
glad to take this opportunity to ex-
press my appreciation, just as I am
glad to find that there is one paper in
the city which is not afraid to brand
a falsehood and declare the truth"
Mr.. Terry urged upon the stationary
engineers present the necessity of or
ganization, and cited conditions in Los
AnSPltS do tOnlpditu with tnOSC Ill
other large cities of the east
Several applications were received
at the close of the meeting, and 1t was
announced that another meeting soon
would be held. at which it was prom
Used by the engineers present there
would be a much larger representation
of this trade.
Cigars and refreshments were served
incidental to the speaking, and aside
from the business of the meeting a
good time was enjoyed by all present.

numberless homestead rights forfeit

ditions at the time they we're filed.
Some years ago when there was a
rush in this direction, entries were
made on lands that we're totally
unfit for the use the locator had in
view at the time the entries were
made. but this knowledge came often
times too late to save the rights of
the entrymsn for future use To the
knowledge of the writer there are
many such people in Arizona to whom
the reinstatement Of their homestead

Bisbee daily review., 1908-01-24
OFFERING BARGAINS.

The reason why people send their
money away from home to make pur-
chases from mail order houses is be.
cause they desire to get the most pos
sible for their money but they do not
always do this. in all the cities OF
any importance during the recent
years it has become the universal Gus
tom OF merchants in almost every
line of trade to. from time to time,
offer extremely low prices as a
means Of lessening stock at a time
when the room is need for more sea
sonable goods or those of later fash.
ion and style. At these occasional
bargain sales goods are always of.
fered at much lower prices than
could be secured at any mali order
house in the country.
Few things are ever bought away
from home which could not be sc.
cured in the home town at prices
fully as advantageous If advantage
was taken of the opportunities of.
fered by the local merchant from
time to time.
The local merchant can do much to
stop the mail order business by a
persistent system Of advertising any
special bargains which, they desire
to offer the public. It is not enough
to announce that Dry Goods & Co.
have an excellent line of ladies'
cloaks at discount of 20 per cent"
or that Groceries & Co. are Offering
canned goods at cost" An advertise
ment to be effective must, from day
to day, name and describe jhe bar
gain article, giving the price. All
PfOpAC w nut wait LIlS same JnluS
at the same time and this is why it
becomes necessary to keep up the ad.
vertising continually One lady may
not want a dress today. but others
will; dress bargain sale will be in.
teresting to all the ladies who are
contemplating buying dress; it is
the same as to laces ribbons cloaks,
hats, furnishing goods, etc.
We are living in an age of pub
licity and the man who undertakes
to do business without it will not
meet with the measure of success
that is possible for him.
The local paper is always loyal to
the community where it is published
and it offers the best and only effec.
tive means for the merchant to head
off the mail order business from his
community.
