Commercial Club Luncheon
Yesterday.

81 hope that at some not far dis.
tant time I may be back in your hes.
pitable city, either in command of the
forces here or as a resident,' said
Brigadier General Pershing yesterday
concluding a happy address made be.
fore the members of the Commercial
Club, following the midday luncheon.
rigadier-General Pershing was the
guest of the club yesterday, although
he stated that the pleasure of the occa.
sion was taken away from to a very
large extent because he knew that he
would be called upon to speak. As
he illustrated this position of his with
witty story, he was only laughed at.
There was not large number of
members present at yesterdays lunch
con, but those who were there applaud
ed the graceful welcome given the
guest of honor by E. c. Brown, presi-
dent of the club, and the tribute paid
him as a soldier and comrade in arms
by Brigadier- General Davis, U.S.A., re-
tired, who introduced General Pershing
to the members.
General Davis made a neat address
when called upon by Mr.. Brown, stat
ing that he had been the one to recon-
mend General Pershing for promotion
at time when the young commander
was distinguishing himself against the
Moros of Mindanao, being at that time
the senior officer of large force, al
though ranking only as captain. At
the time General Davis made the recon-.
mendation to Washington he was him
self below the rank he recommended
for Pershing.
81 do not believe that nay recon-
mendation brought about his promo
tion,' said General Davis, although
he tells me that it did,
General Pershing replied by thanking
the people of Honolulu, as represented
by the members of the Commercial
Club, for the welcome they had given
on this and ON former occasions. He
referred briefly to the fact that the
strategic Importance of the Islands had
been finally recognized by those in au,
thority, as it had always been recog-
nized by those who had studied the
military situation of the country, and
concluded by expressing the hope that
some day he might be stationed here

COMETS TAIL WILL
DUST THE WORLD
That Is What Will Happen in May
Next, Say Astronomers.

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, Sep
TENDER 30.-The calculation of Frank
Z. Seagrave of Providence that Hal
ley's comet will be nearest the earth
on May 10, 1910, is confirmed by Rev.
Father George Searle of New York,
superior general of the Pauiist fathers
and widely known as an astronomer.
Father Searle basis his calculations on
observations made at the Lick observa.
tory on September y, IS and IA, and
on the elements given by Professors
Cowell and Cromwell in March last.
Father Searle states that on Nav %
the earth and the celebrated comet will
be in heliocentric conjunction in longi-
ture, the longitude being 236 degrees
rs minutes. The heliocentric latitude
of the comet will be minus seven min
utes. Father Searle says that there
will be no actual transit of the comet
over the sun disk according to those
elements, but that a slight change
might produce one
''At any rate he said, est seems
probable that on Nav Is we shall be
inside the comet s tail. -

ASSEMBLING BUILDING TRADES
UNDER ONE DISTRICT HEAD

The work of reassembling all of
spokane's building trades under
one head has almost been COM
pleted. The painters union was
taken into that department of the
American Federation of Labor last
night, and only a few more unions
entitled to affiliation wit hthe de-
partment, by merit of the bylaws
of the A. F. of L., renal noutside.
Even the plasterers, bricklayers
and masons, whose international
unions are not affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor,
hence not entitled to the protec-
ton Of the entire alliance in a
national labor movement, will like
ly take seat in the local alliance.
The work so far done shows a
greater success by far than was
expected when the work of reas-
sembling the building trades crafts
into one department was begun by
G. F. Staub a month ago.
The third meeting of the differ
ent unions was held last night for
the purpose Of getting together
again. All the IS unions entitled
to a seat in this department were
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-11-04

formerly in what was called the
Spokane Building Trades Alliance,
but when Staub began the work of
rebuilding it, nearly all the unions
had dropped out because of lack
of interest. @ ~
According to a statement made
by Staub this morning, the pur-
pose of gathering these different
unions under one head again is to
make it easier for the various un-
ion workmen's differences with
their employers to be settled with
out pulling men off the work. On
the contrary, an attempt will be
made in each instance OF trouble
to arbitrate.
This alliance, when full yorgan-
lied again, will control between
5000 and $500 union workmen of
the city. Officers will likely be
elected at the meeting next Tues
day night, when the bylaws COM
mittee will make it's final report.
This committee will make final
preparations to file their last re-
port at a meeting to be held in
Staub's rooms at S19 IL Riverside
avenue, next Sunday afternoon at
2 O'Clock.
