IN LABOR CIRCLES

Two recent happenings in the local
labor field have demonstrated the good
fellowship that exists. rule. among
those who figure prominently in the
councils of the organized workingmen in
the District of Columbia. The first Of
these was the testimonial dinner given n
honor of Sam De Nedrey. editor of the
Trades t-nionist The other was the fun
fest of the bookbinders. At the former
function while the labor editor was
auded for his work as delegate of the
Central Labor Union. those present fa-
vored harmony in the fullest measure
within the ranks.
Let bygones be bygones, and let US all
pull together for, the general bettermen
of our fellow workers and our cause,
was the sentiment spoken by Emmett L..
Adams of the machinists, which was re-
the after-dinner speakers.
At the successful function given by
Bookbinders' Local there was manifested
the same ''get-together'' sentiment.
Charles Conner, the presiding officer, in
his opening address, urged that the men
who deserted the union some time ago
and refused to pay certain assessments
come back into the fold. Other speakers
favored killing the tabled fatted calf
upon the return of the recalcitrants, and
hoped they could be induced to come
home and be good
The formation of the Workinglnen' 5
Social Club at the De Nedrey dinner was
declared to be step in the right direc-
ton.

Some time ago u movement was started
TO have erected in this city a memorial to
the late Milford Spohn. The proposition
seems to have gone gGmmering,
which condition brought forth the remark
yesterday from veteran carpenter that
the truth of the saying of Rip Van Win
kle about soon being forgotten when one
is dead finds apt illustration. In these pip
ing and strenuous twentieth century days
Milford Spohn was one of the most active
and conscientious workers in the local la
bor field for many years. He was known
as the father of the Central Labor Union.
and was ever ready to undertake any
service assigned to him In the interest of
organized labor.
In his day and time he was called upon
to confer with cabinet officers and others
high in authority on labor matters. but
it is said of him that he never shrank
from any task. He was the counselor of
his own craftsmen, the bricklayers. and
could always be found at his post in the
BricklayerS Union, except when Illness
nterfered. On the floor of the Central
Labor Union he was a power and, as
friend expressed, he was sure he was
right. then he talked straight from the
shoulder.
II hope the veteran carpenter said,
his feloW-workmen of the past will yet
rear in this city a testimonial to this
brother. who was always in the front
rank in the fight for humanity

WOMAN BUILT A BUNGALOW.


Had No Assistance Even in Placing
the Big Heavy Rafters.
A neat little bungalow located in
the outskirts Of Long Beach, built by
pretty little woman, is attracting
attention. The builder is Mrs. Frank
Nottingham, who is a prominent work
er in the Y. w. G. A.
Miss Gertrude Gilbert, matroa for
the Y. w. C. A., wanted a home, owned
a lot and had about $120 with which
to erect, house. She knew this
would be impossible if she were com.
PEELED to hire carpenters at So day.
Mrs. Nottingham talked the matter
over with her and finally said she
would undertake to build it and would
not charge her a penny for her labor,
Though she had never built so much
as chicken house before, the plucky
woman was confident. Armed with a
rusty saw, hatchet, plane and level,
she started to work. She devoted ex.
actly 100 hours to- the undertaking,
and short time ago turned the house
over to it's owner. The bungalow i.
18 by 20 feet in dimensions, and con.
tains seven windows and two DOORS
Mrs. Nottingham had no assistance,
placing the big heavy rafters alone
and performing feats a carpenter
would shun.
my mother was handy with ham
mer," said Mrs. Nottingham, "bu:
other than this I cannot explain my
ability to drive a NAIL"
