OUTLOOK
For 1aChinists Is
Good.

Fred w. Griffith, general organ
izer for the international Associa-
tion of Machinists was in Hamilton
this week and he has said that the
outlook for the machinists in the
Miami Valley looks good to him.
He has been attending the NEE ings
of the different organizations from
Springfield to Hamilton and all are
taking in new members very rapid
ly. Work Is plentiful and the
shops are receiving large orders
but the wages are the lowest in the
country and the hours the longest.
At the meeting held in the German
home Wednesday night nearly two
hundred machinlsts were present
and many new apple atoms were
received Griffith attended a meet
ing in Springfield, Ohio, Thursday
night and the hall was packed
H also said that the machinists
we're beginning to realize that to
get more wages and better condi-
tions it was necessary for them TO
become members of the oiganiza-
ton. He will arrive in Hamilton
again Saturday to take up the work
of getting all the local machinists
into the union.

A MUSICIANS MEAL.
One Time When Meilhao Paid For HIs
observation-disclosures.

Absentm ndedness.
The celebrated French composer
Meilhac was one of the absentminded
genfuses. He was also a man of sim
pie tastes In the matter Of food. 1t Is
related OF him that on an occasion
when one Of his operas was being pre-
sented he entered IN evening dress q
fashionable restaurant and threw him
self down at table, thinking earnest
ly about the musical event of the even
ing and about nothing else.
A waiter brought him a bill of fare,
and M. Meilhac quite abstractedly En-
dicated with his finger the first dish on
the bill that his eye had struck. 1t
happened TO be the most elaborate and
costly dish on the bill, and when the
waiter went to the kitchen with the
order there was commotion.
The proprietor himself arrived, and
he and the chief cook devoted them
selves to the preparation Of the famous
dish. One man was sent for this choice
ingredient and another for another.
Meantime NJ. Meilhac waited, absorbed.
At last the dish was brought with a
great flourish, and the proprietor stood
not far away TO observe the result.
When it was deposited on the table
Meilhac looked at it with an express
sion Of melancholy interest.
did order that?' he asked
Certainly, monsieur"
do you like II?
"But-but yes monsieur
Then please take it away and eat 1t
yourself" ordered Meilhac. "and bring
me two fried eggs"
The order was carried out and the
proprietor wondered If he had mad
man to deal with.

LABOR DAY.

was started by the Knights OF
Labor by a street parade in New
York city in 1882 This was fol-
lowed by another in 1884 and by
general movement of labor I'M
ions to have the day made a legal
holiday. In 1887 the legislature
Of Colorado passed a law desig-
mating the first Monday in Sep
tember of each year as a public
holiday, to be known as Labor
day. Colorado was the first
state to pass such law, which
now exists in every state in the
Union. The establishment of
the holiday was not so much the
suggestion of any individual, but
as a result of changing condi-
tions and social progress.
