TRADES AND LABOR ASSEMBLY

Regular meeting of the Newark
Trades and Labor Assembly was
called to order by Vice President VIM.
A. Archer promptly at nine O'Clock,
Sunday morning, Sept. 8.
Minutes of the previous meeting
We're approved as read.
Credentials of Bro. Jos. F. Leedy,
E. l.. Blackwell and Chas. Haines of
the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees
of America were received and filed.
Thos. o. Sattler, chairman of the
Labor Day committee, made partial
report which was accepted. Too
much can not be said in praise of the
Labor Day celebration, and Bro.
Sattler took the opportunity to thank
the members for their willingness to
work, which made Labor Day such
splendid success. Personally, the
writer thinks that a word of COM
mendation would not come in amiss
for each of the committee who had
charge Of the Labor Day affairs, and
starting with Bro. Sattler let me say
that it was largely due to his untiring
effort that the members of the COM
mittee were willing to work, for he
always set a good example, and never
requested the committee to do work
that he was not willing to do himself.
Brother Geo Hamilton, who had
charge of the Patriotic program GER
tainly needs to be commended for the
success of the afternoon, for all who
listened came away well pleased. Bro.
George is never happier then when
he is delivering a patriotic speech,
or doing something that will make
the world safe for Democracy Now
we will have to say word of praise
for our old friend, Bro. julius Juch,
who lets the public know that organ
lied labor was still in Newark, and
will continue to do so for some time
to come Bro. Juch had charge of
the publicity, and the little girls who
carried our Service Flag, and if you
don't think he treated the little girls
right just asks those youngsters. Now
comes our Bros. VIM. Deininger, VIM.
A. Archer and w. R. Jones who had
charge of the soliciting, and they
made a good job of it, for under
stand that when all bills are paid
there win not be any necessity
for any further donations. Bro. VIM.
A. Archer also had charge of conces-
sions. Bros. Deininger and A. G. (
Hampton, who had charge of the last /.
amusement of the day, certainly de-
serve a word of commendation, for
the huge Mardi Gras of the evening
was success from start to finish, |
and every one seemed to be well |
pleased, come again brothers, We'll |
have another Labor Day. And now
words fail me, for / do want to say
something about the brother, who
when we looked upon the floats, made
US feel and wish we had a thousand
lives to give in defense of Freedom,
Honor and Democracy. I'm speaking
of Bro. Jack Cantwell whose idea it
was, and under whose direction the
Floats were decorated. Bro. Can't
well, the fourth Liberty Loan Drive
is coming and think the committee
had better look you up, for your
Floats stirred up emotions that will
make the most hard-fsted old miser
shell out. Enough said" Labor
Day 1918 is past but it was a man.
moth success. At the conclusion of
Bro. Sattler's report the assembly ex-
tended to the committee a rising vote
of thanks. n
The Organization Committee re-
ported progress and hope soon to see
the lady clerks, from the different
store of the city, in the fold of or
ganized labor.
A Communication from P. P. Clax-
ton, Commissioner of Education,
Washington, d. c., was received, re-
questing organized labor's cooperation
in maintaining the public schools at
their full efficiency, both as to work
and attendance, during the war. The
