CASUAL LAB0RERS"
TO ASK IF WORK PAYS
Roboes VIII Thresh Out the Question
At Milwaukee Convention
Oa-Efiday.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 31.-Hoboes-
beg pardon, We mean casual labor
ers-are 10 hold national convention
here next Friday to discuss the prob
lem. Does IL pay 10 work."
The call for the convention has
been sent out by j. Eads How, presi-
dent, and James o'Neil, secretary OF
the Brotherhood Welfare association.
and reports from Milwaukee say that
Mayor Seidel Is preparing TO welcome
the voorhees, wanderers with open
arms.
When former conventions OF the no
boes were held the invitation usually
was sent out at least ak weeks In ad-
vance OF the meeting.
Some delegates attended from long
distances and were subject TO delay.
Freight trains were apt to be stalled.
ard walking isn't always good in the
wintertime.
All this has been changed since the
American Federation OF Labor at It's
last convention in st. Louis officially
recognized the hoboes and decided to
try TO organize them as casual Ia
bo-ers.
An invitation has been extended the
Chicago Federation OF Labor TO send
delegates TO the convention and their
expenses will be paid.
+. " Nockels, secretary of the Fed
Grafton, received the invitation. and
IS thinking OF attending as delegate
Il have pronounced ideas on the
subject which will come up for discus
siol," Nockels said. 1T does not pay
TO work. Men who never do a stroke
OF work come into this ONCE daily

the whole problem is now
10 get along without work for the first
year. as after that il is easy. | may
ge. some pointers from the hoboes. :"
The reason Milwaukee has been
chosen as the convention city is be-
cause the casual laborers believe
Mayor Seidel will prove more SYM
pathetic than did the mayor of Kan
sas City, where the last convention
was held He placed the delegates
in the undesirable citizen" class aud
opened the police station instead OF
the hotels for their reception.

According to their established
custom, the Directors OF The Ex-
change National Bank have paid
out to the bank stockholders a semi
annual dividend of 5 per cent as OF
date of July 1st., and have passed a
sum slightly larger than this into
surplus and undivided profit account
1t is custom with this bank that
is becoming we'll known and appre-
ciated for the Directors not to pay
out but small portion of bank
profits, but to allow larger portion
of each years profits to remain IN
the surplus account for the protec-
ton and use of the bank patrons;
this they do to strengthen their
bank. and make it more useful to
the people.
No change is made in the officers
and directors, and the officers
report that the first half Of 1911 was
by far the best six months in the
banks history.
The growth in deposits indicates
increasing popularity and the instl-
tuition ranks very high in point OF
strength and liberal dealings.
Probably not a bank anywhere
has a stronger set of stockholders
and a more experienced and careful
set Of officers.
