You see most of these organizers at

there are no rats to organize there.
Then this costly habit of sending
organizers residing in Toledo to
Dallas, and from Los Angeles to
Norfolk, etc., while letting the organ
izer see the country-and all the boys

means that the I. T. u. must pay the

of course must be paid.

doubtless.
George Wilson has been making
some comparative statistics on the
expense Of organization, and they
make mighty interesting reading.
Here are some of them: From June
1, 1904, to May 81, 1905-one year,
fifty-seven men drew $4,000 for do
ing the work Of organization. There
were organized new unions. includ-
ing members of reinstated unions,
total membership of All; member
ship lost through surrender of char
tiers and suspensions, 420, making a
net gain of 81 members. We paid
$4,000 to fifty-seven men to gain 81
members in the field of organization
less than one new member per or
ganizer, and at cost of 1888 per new
member. That's more than it takes
to convert a Chinaman to Christian
ity." -

eighty men drew pay for doing the
work of organizers, the amount they
drew being $4,000. Number OF mem
bers Of reinstated unions and men,
bers secured in the formation of new
unions, 500; members lost through

$40, making 1t net loss of 419 mem
bers. Forty-four thousand dollars to
eighty men with the result that we
lost 419 in total membership.
During the next year, June /, 1906
to May 81, 1907, we paid $45,3S9 to
eighty-two men engaged in the work
OF organization. The number of
members Of reinstated unions and
members secured through the organ
ization of new unions was 621; mem
bers lost through the suspension and
surrender OF charters, 1894, making a
net loss of 631.
Then Wilson goes back few years
and digs up some statistics of results
achieved under a former administra-
ton. He takes the years 1895 and
1896. when Prescott was president.
In those two years under Prescott the
sum Of $4,269 was spent on. organiza.

that there was a net loss OF 1882

1921 more than was spent in two years
under Prescott's administration. The

NO CONSPIRACY

The grand jury, as will be seen else
where in today's paper, brought in
their report to the Judge yesterday
afternoon. They, found true bill
against Homer Dean for. an aggravated
assault on Mr.. d. E. McIver They
found no true bill against Mr.. John d.
Robinson for conspiring with Dean to
commit the assault. The jury looked
carefully into all of the evidence and
examined all the witnesses, and came
tc the, conclusion that there was no
conspiracy entered into. This will
settle Mr.. Robinson's connection with
the unpleasant affair, and it is to be
hoped that the community will never
hear of 1t again.

LIBRARY ENTERTAINMENT
LAST NIGHT BIG SUCCESS

The entertainment in the Elks club
rooms last evening for the benefit of
the Ocala public library. was a big
success in allS Respects Financially
$40 in cash wasTealized TO go into the
library fund. The attendance was
good there being about 125 people
present, and from point OF real merit
there has not been such musical
Il eat in the city in a long time and
every person who attended was de-
lighted with the evenings program.
The ladies Of the library association
sre very grateful to the Elks for the
use of their rooms and service and
many kindnesses shown them by the
lodge and individual members.
The musical program was especially
enjoyable. This is the first time Miss
Minnie Gamsby has sung in Ocala in
long time and the people of the city
were again thrilled by her matchless
voice, which has lost nothing of its
sweetness for its long rest. There
were solos by Mrs. Mote. Mrs. ]. II.
Taylor, Miss Alice Bullock and Miss
Gamsby, all remarkably sweet and
greatly enjoyed. Mr.. Leon Fishel, a
finished pianist, and an Ocala boy al
ways willing and most capable Of de-
lighting his friends in home gather
ing, played several brilliant pieces to
the delight of all.
Mr.. Albert Gerig and Mrs. George
r. Mexican sang a duet that was es-
pecially sweet and well rendered.
Mrs. Notes singing was a great
pleasure to her audience. She possess
es sweet clear voice of unusual
strength and ii is always an exquisite
pleasure to hear her sing.
Two recent additions to the musical
world Of Ocala are the Misses Mary
and Rosalie Connor, the two attrac-
tive young daughters of Mr.. and Mrs
c. E. Conner. They played delight
full piano duet and one Of the sisters
performed very prettily on the VIOLIN
on which instrument she gives prom
isC of becoming a great musician.
Punch and cake were served during
the evening, Mrs, Geo. K. Robinson
Mrs. F. E. Schrieber and Mrs. G. T
Maughs serving the refreshments. Mrs.
Jake Brown. Mrs. C. H. Lloyd and
Mrs. J. j. Gerig comprised the recep-
ton committee!
Bridge was played, as was pool and
billiards by those who desired during
the evening. The score cards were
sold and billiard and pool cues charg-
ed for and those items brought in a
neat little sum. Mrs. C. Rheinauer
and Miss Emily Stotesbury financed
this feature Of the entertainment.
Miss Louise Gamsby, the faithful
and tireless librarian. put in hard
week on the entertainment. She was
ably assisted by Mr.. T. T. Munroe
who takes deep interest in the Ii
krary. and to these two was due a
good measure Of the success that at
tended the effort.
