Some time ago interested enough
of my fellow workers to form a union.
We did so, starting with Is. One
house in which some of us are en-
ployed is unionized throughout-cooks,
bartenders. walters and Mattresses.
Out of this little handful of men have
come some truly wonderful changes.
We have our own meeting hall where
we have weekly meetings, and once
every month general discussion of
things pertaining to the good of the
service. You can imagine the i'm
proyement there has been in that house
alone; and 1t has been diffused around
through the other houses, because we
have members in every house in the
Twin Cities that employs colored
walters, as we have a membership of
something near one hundred now. But
the two things that have impressed
me most are the harmony which ex-
lists between the different working de
partments and the change in working
conditions
organization. But | don't believe we
can hope for anything by going alone.
We must join hands with the white
man who is working in our same
crafts, and together we can become
a powerful forcs-alone we can never
do much
The educational part of our little
local and the Improvements it has
brought about for us in our work and
general conduct, have been worth
the time and trouble it cost to bring
us into existence. And so, if the
young men in Kansas City, who are
fathering this movement, will give
this their earnest and honest thought,
they will see that an affliation with
this international would be far the
more effective.

The woman was found dead in the
road with her throat cut few days
ago. Schiter was arrested as sus-
pect after sensational chase.
He confessed to the sheriff that he
had heard that the woman always car
ried money. He lay in wait for her,
accosted her at lonely spot, threw
his right arm about her shoulders and
deliberately cut her throat.
He then searched her clothes for
money and finding none assaulted the
dead body. He says he threw the knife
into clump Of bushes beside the road.
He is a tall, powerful man.
The murderer does not appear at all

have decided grievanc against the
man who told him that Mrs. Page al
ways carried large sum of money

its violation in the event that business
