BENEFIT FOR
SICK FUND
LAUNDRY WORKERS ARE
PREPARING A PUBLIC EN-
TERTAINMENT TO PROVIDE
A NECLEUS FOR SICK FUND
OCT. 27 THE DATE AND
LABOR TEMPLE THE PLACE

The Laundry Workers are establish
ing a local sick benefit fund for their
members and ON Friday evening, Octo-
Der 27, will present the first of a series
of entertainments to raise necleus for
that fund An interesting program is
being prepared for the night of the 9th
and it will be given in the lower hall in
the Labor Temple. A twenty or twenty
five minute sketch will be presented by
the members entitled Morning Callers" :"
In addition a varied musical and lit
eraIy program will be rendered, 4 re-
freshment booth will be conducted by
the union and the men are given fair
warning that they are expected to lib
orally patronize it. \ small admission
fee of ten cents is to be charged to the
entertainment and certainly this sum
should scare nobody away.
The hall should be taxed to capacity
on that occasion. A really good time is
guaranteed to everybody and the pro
ceeds will be devoted to a particularly
worthy cause. This organization is
composed almost wholly of girls and
their earnings are not large. OF neces
sity their dues are small and when the
regular expenses of the union are met
but little remains in the treasury. When
their members fall i'll it is comforting
thing to know that there is little fund
in their treasury set aside to help them
through their time of stress. If every
body will turn out we will have the sat
of knowing we have helped the
girls little to realize their ambition in
to the pleasant evening that
will be enjoyed.

STATE LABOR COMMISSIONER

Chas. f. Hubbard, who is drawing
without earning) the salary of labor
commissioner is getting himself into a
peck of trouble by his discharge of Mrs.
Mason, the female deputy in his office
Hubbard has never wanted to enforce
the eight hour law and Mrs. Mason did
not "fall in" with his idea of law en-
forcement, hence her discharge. Hub
bard was appointed by ALBERT THE
WEAK at the behest of Ben Grosscup
who was the railroad boss in the state
at that time. Hubbard's job will end
with Hays regime. Forum.

LARGE FUND
IS REALIZED
MCNAMARA BENEFIT BALL
ATTENDED BY BIG CROWD
AND HANDSOME SUM IS
NETTED FOR DEFENSE
FUND.

Organized labor feels well satisfied
with the results from the Mcnamara
benefit ball of last Monday evening.
The net proceeds will total several hun
dred dollars but the exact amount can
not be determined until all the tickets
which were distributed among the vari
Gus organizations and given to individu
ais to sell are accounted for.
The dance itself was an enjoyable af-
fair. The big hall was crowded with
dancers from the time the band struck
up the first gay strains at 8 o'clock in
the evening until 2 o'clock the next
morning, when the weary musicians
played the Home" waltz.
The Label League booth was quite
well patronized and turned in neat
sum of money to help swell the fund.
In addition to dispensing refreshments
a box of cigars was ratified off The
holder of the winning number, $780,"
had left the hall when the drawing took
place. If he will present the number
the cigars are his.
The Trades Council is very gratified
over the whole hearted manner in which
all took hold of the proposition Spe
cial thanks are due the Musicians union,
which donated the services of twenty of
its members during the entire dance.
The Stage Workers, label League and
socialist local contributed greatly to the
success Of the ball as did many individ-
uals who gave time and attention to the
work of disposing of tickets and carry
ing out the various details.
The amount raised will be sent out at
once to those entrusted with the defense
fund.

A NEW ORGANIZATION.

A new union makes its bow to Or
ganized labor of Everett. Rather a lusty
infant, too. Its initial meeting three
weeks ago saw twenty eight names on
the charter roll and at the last meeting
Wednesday evening the number was
swelled to forty. You guessed it. It's
the gas workers. They have sent for
their charter and in the meantime are
perfecting their organization. A com
mittee has been appointed to work in
conjunction with like committee from
the plumbers in drawing up joint
gates have been elected to the Trades
Council and will present their creden-
tials tonight.

BACK FROM
CONVENTION
GEO. BOURNE HOME FROM
ELECTRICAL WORKERS
CONVENTION AT ROCKIES
TER, N. Y.-R REPORTS A
SPLENDID SESSION BUT NO
SETTLEMENT OF FAC
TIONAL TROUBLE.

George Bourne returned to Everett
Tuesday after six weeks trip through
the eastern states. Bro. Bourne was
sent as delegate from the Electrical
Workers Of Everett to the international
convention of the Reid faction in Ro-
chester, n. y. Side trips were made to
New York City, Niagara Falls and To-
ronto, while ten days was spent at his
home by way of the Canadian Pacific.
Speaking of the convention, Bro.
Bourne said: I'VE were in session eleven
days, most Of the time holding both day
and night sessions. The McNulty fac
tion was i'll session at Rochester at the
same time and a joint conference com
mittee met almost continuously but with
no final settlement Of the long standing
trouble. They wanted us to surrender
everything we have contended for, prac-
tically come in individually as members
Of their international, when all would
be forgiven. Our district councils,
through the medium of which we have
achieved so much, were to be abolished.
We couldn't see it that way at all and
the whole deal was off They made
much capital of the fact that they were
the only bona fide Electrical Workers
international recognized by the A. T. of
L. and had that fact pasted on a big
banner over their headquarters. The
relative strength of the two factions
may be readily seen when it is known
that though the NIcNuIty faction al
lowed one delegate to every fifty mem
bers while the Reid faction allowed one
delegate to every hundred, McNulty's
crowd had only IS delegates while we
had over 2fO.7
1t is about time that the American
Federation of Labor washed its hands
of the Electrical Workers scrap. 1t is
in hardly an enyiable position to be
upholdng the claims of an international
numbering about one-fourth of the or
ganized members of that craft. We
would rather see the A, +. of L. repudi-
ate the whole business and leave the
matter up to the boys themselves to
eventually settle than to keep things
split wide open by fayoring one faction.

'ALMSHOUSE MEAT AND
BREAD CONTRACTS AWARDED
Committee Selects Newark Beef
and Williams Bread Companies.

The poor and aims committee OF the
Common Council last night awarded
contracts for mea- ond bread for the
almshouse to the Newark Beef Com
pany and the Williams Bread Com
pany, respectively, subject to the APP
prevail OF the bonds by the Common
Council and the law department. The
figures of the two bidders for the
burial of the city poor were alike, and
the committee decided TO visit the es-
adjustments this afternoon and make
a decision as to who would get the
contract.
There were two bids for bread, of
which 300 pounds are used per day.
The Hill Bread Company bid 2h
cents per pound and the Williams
Company tx cents.
The meat contract was furnished
to the Newark Beef Company, despite
the fact that it was the highest bid
der. This company's price is IN cents
per pound and Charles Metzger bid 6s
cents. The committee felt justified In
doing this, however, because of the
fact that the Newark Beef Company
would furnish roast beef every Mon
day, lamb for stew on another day,
then soup beef, corn beef and beef for
stew for the one cent more. The fact
that the wholesale house agreed to
furnish roast beef decided the commit
tee in It's favor.
The bidders for tho burial contract
were A. j. & ]. Hole and William F.
Mullin. Both agreed to bury adults
for IS and infants for So. The contract
win be awarded to the firm that can
give the best accommodations.

ESSEX FREEHOLDERS
MAY GO TO SING SING.
Want to Investigate Prison
Labor in New York.

If the idea of the penitentiary com
mittee of the Board Of Freeholders
c~rystalizes into law, the sentence of all
prisoners to the Essex county peniten-
tiary will hereafter include at haro
labor" The committee met yesterday
with the Trades Council representa-
tives. and agreed with them that 1t Is
both mentally and physically democrat
Izing to the prisoners to lie idle In their
cells throughout terms ranging from
one to six months, and finally decided to
ask the board for an appropriation to
send the committee to Sing Sing to IN
vestigate the method by which New
York State arranges work for It's felons
without conflicting with union labor
principles.
It is Freebooter Gottlieb who has
brought the scheme to it's present pass.
But he pointed out to his fellow COM
mttteemen that the only labor at which
the men can be set, in harmony with
union views. is cracking stone or work.
Ing a farm, and pointed out that you
can't crack stones or even work a farm
when the snow flies, whereas there
ought TO be some way found to give
the prisoners stady work all the year
round.
Messrs Mclean and Reilly Of the
Trades Council declared union labor
would only protest when the articles
manufactured by prisoners were put
nto the market in competition with
free labor. They said they thought the
best scheme would be to work the men
at some employment the products of
which could go to the maintenance Of
other county institutions.
Both the committee and the union
men will ask their parent bodies for
further instructions at the next meet
ings.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and
Effectual Cure For II.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to lncurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings,
a formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing, headaches. tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general p~layed-out,
languid feeling
There is often a foul taste In the
mouth, coated tongue, and If the in
terror of the stomach could be seen 1t

ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble Is found in a treatment

cous surfaces of the stomach. To Sc
cure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the SAT-
eet and best a is to use after
each meal a tablet. composed of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Gold
en- Seal and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at all drug stores

Tablets, and not being a patent medi-
cine car be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion viii follow their
regular use after meals.
The plan of dieting is simply another
name for starvation, and the use OF
prepared foods and n~ew-fangled break
fast foods simply makes matters worse,
as any dyspeptic who has tried them
knows.
As DR.. Bennett says, the only reason
/ can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are not universally used by
everybody who is troubled In any way
with poor digestion is because many
people seem to think that because a
medicine is advertised or is sold In
drug stores or is protected by q trade
