to buy 5000 stock in the Majority

Interesting Session

A most interesting session was held
by the members Of Bartenders No, 292
at Turner hall last Sunday afternoon,
which was also the occasion for en-
Joyment on the part of many who are
actually bartenders, but who were
fortunate enough to be guests Of that
organization on that day.
Al The occasion was the installation
OF officers 70 rthe ensuing year. AL
though the Bartenders face the end
ing OF their present occupation in six
months they bravely face the future.
ana realize that they will still be
wage workers, even after that date.
and that the protection of unlonfsm
that has been such a help to them in
the past will still be their protection
in the future. So they are going
about 1t with theAfuff determination of
keeping up their union.
The installation of officers was fol-
lowed with banquet. The Majority
man intended giving list Of the good
things set out to eat, but, after using
up all his paper and borrowed pen
CHS, decided that it would be quicker
to give q list, of the things they did
not have. The menu reflected abound
ing glory upon the committee and the
caterer, George Fullerton, former
bartender who proved that he and his

UP TO DATE PRESS FOR MAJORITY -.
ASSURED BY ACTION Of COAL MINERS

That the miners of Sub-District 5
are determined to help the Majority
get a new press is being proved by
the action taken at the meetings, so
far visited by the Majority repre-en-
tauve, and while they are practically
unanimously voting to buy stock in
the company they do not overlook
to take as large a block of stock as
their finances viii permit them. And
the chief reason for that, is their de-
termination to buy enough stock so
the Majority Company villa be enab-
led to get a press big enough to print
daily newspaper when the proper
lime comes.
~We want daily paper is their
unanimous cry, and suiting action to
words they do their best to get it,
by investing in the Majority Company
and if the local unions that are yet
TO be visited, will do as well as those
that have been visited, there is no
doubt but that the Majority will soon
be in position t. print daily pa
per. Since last report, considerable
progress has been made, and that, in
spite of holidays and the fact that
most miners are only working part
ime at present.

New Year was No. 2276 at Klee and

Sunday being the first Sunday of the

Each year the Assembly is born
anew, new delegates being obligated
on the first meeting of the new year

reactionary but who will nose as con

That this will have any real effect
is not feared by the active and sin
cere workers in the local labor move
ment. They believe that the time has
long since passed when the workers

do not believe that the march that
the local hosts of toilers are now max

by any trickery, but that instead it

The hardest part Of the organize

In the Electrical Workers hall Wed
nesday night, when the beginning
was made to take care Of the details

lnasmuch as this is to be the great.

mattee has determined that its foun.
cations must be laid with the greatest
care. and the Wednesday night meet
ing was devoted to the most careful
planning Of details.
It has definitely been decided to
open permanent headquarters, a place
that Will be open day and night, SO
that every wage worker who does NOT
belong to q union will know where to
come to learn all about what union
ism has to offer to him or her. It has
also been decided to keep up the
visitation Of local unions by the COM
mdttee until every one is In line and
backing the movement.
+ The attendance was large and the,
enthusiasm was more marked than
ever. Probably no other movement
ever undertaken by organized Labor
has ever undertaken has met with
the ready responses that has greeted
this movement. And it spells success.
