tee for extending them an invita-
tion to attend their little gathering
which was a real treat. Some of
the members of the Bartender S
Local were called upon for short
talks and many of them did so in
grand style. The recitation en-
titled John Bart" by Edw. Peter
son made hit. This was followed
up by popular sayings from Cotton
Soehner Harry Swain, Harry War
dell, Ben Gratwohl, Henry Evans,
Bob Duellman, Charles Strayer,
Major Roll, Russell Best, Ducky
Welsh, Pete Koenig, Ike Bartlett
ard bunch of others too numerous
to mention. The Butcher quartete
was in evidence and rendered many
beautiful selections but this was
not until late in the afternoon
Business agent John Gfroerer
was asked by several ef the mem
bers to address the boys of his craft
and in his talk which was very in
teresting, informed them of the
many difficulties business agent
Experiences while doing work for
the organization. We must say
that Gfroerer has made good busi.
ness agent for the Bartenders' Un-
ion and he should receive all en-.
couragement possible from the
members.
One of the things at this gather
ing that is worthy of mention is
the thoughtfullness of the bartend
ers in remembering their brothers
Roy Stillwaugn, Ernst Geier, 10
seph Shinkle and Paul Conlin who
were recently I'M ured in the un
fortunate automobile accident
Shinkle and Geier are still in Mercy
Hospital.
The bartenders' had one gooc
time and the manner in which they
Icorducted their social session is {
credit TO the members and their or
ganization and it goes to show
that bartenders are not the sort o
rough stuff that some people thinl
they are. About the only place OF
earth that a bartender can hnc
sympathy is in the dictionery. bu
the little gathering last Sunday
demonstrated that they are crafts
men like all other working men.

was paid in the broom factory and
much less in the purse factory
The contractors were given free
heat, light, power and rent. A
committee of the Federation of La
Dor began an active campaign some
months ago, and demanded that the
system be abolished and that the
prisoners be employed in the man
ufacture of commodities needed
for city use. 1t was also urged
that more convicts be employed in
the stone quarry supplying crushed
stone for city use and in the dis
posal of city garbage. As a result
of this agitation a subcommittee Of
the City councils finance commit
tee has announced that all contrac-
tors would be notified to vacate
their plants at "the Bridewell," !" by
May ! and that the inmates would
be employed as suggested by the
Federation of Labor.

The Cigarmakers held prelim-

neon, and it was decided to hold a
Booster meeting on next Monday
evening, in which all manufacture
ers and cigarmakers of Hamilton
will participate, their object being
to demand of the retailers that
Home Product be given a Letter
consideration. The merchants of
Hamilton are asking the citizens
to purchase at home while thew
themselves are buying cigars made
out of the city and it is known
fact that the business men here are
loosing from 81, 200 to ST. 500 each
week which would be paid out III
wages, these figures taken accord
ing to other cities, where the city
had population of II, 600, it had
just three times as many cigarmak-
.ers as it has today This condition
does not show very good business
ideas upon the part of the merchant.
