NEWARK TRADES AND LABOR
ASSEMBLY
by II. w ay.

The Newark Trades and Labor As
sembly has been successfully aiding
organized labor in Newark for nearly
thirty years, having been organized
on May 8, 1892. Under the old
system of independent locals COM
posed of different bands of workmen,
a selfish desire for individual gain
sometimes interfered with united ac-
tion for the advancement and benefit
of the workers as a whole. The
aggregation of industry brought
about by the machinery and force of
this new world has brought those
small bands of organized workmen
so close together that they must have
some central point of contact These
are found in the American Federation
of Labor, the State Federations of
Labor, and local central bodies of the
various industrial centers. Without
a conservative central body, it often
happens that local unions will enter
into an indiscriminate endorsement
of acts which sometimes prove of
more damage than benefit to the
wage earners. With a central body
the grievance committee must make
an investigation and report before
action is taken. The Newark Trades
and Labor Assembly has never die
tated any action or assumed any
power over local unions.
1t is non-political and non-sec-
tartan, and questions on these sub
jects are barred at its meetings. This
year, however, it has united with
every similar body in the country in
the great non-partisan movement to
elect to office those men, regardless
of political affiliation, whose record
proves their friendly attitude to la
Dor, and to retire to private life all
who oppose its principles.
The local body meets on the second
and fourth Sundays of each month
at 9 o'clock a. M, and all union men
are welcome. The present officers
are:
VIM. H. Cocanour, President.
E. H. Franklin, 1st Vice President.
Jesse Shimmel, End Vice President.
]. Oscar Juch, Financial Secretary.
Gottlieb Zinn, Recording Secretary.
Thos. o. Sattler, Treasurer.
Nick Emmert, Guard.
J. 81. Sharritt, Chaplain.
Robert Williams, Julius Juch, VIM.
Archer, Trustees.

Carrying Concealed
Weapons Deplored in
High Court Decision

Lincoln, Feb. 2s.-(Special. -
Supreme court opinions today in
Guided the following:
While one may be justified under
certain conditions to carry con-
cealed weapons, if arrested it is up
to him to show the justification.
This in substance is the opinion OF
the supreme court in a case brought
from Wayne county, in which John
Nugent had been found guilty of
carrying concealed weapons. The
upper court holds that proper justi-
fcation was not shown in this case
and deplores the carrying of the
same as tending to provoke murder.
In an action of a wife for aliena-
ton Of affections of her husband il
is an error for the court to instruct
the jury that "the wrong of the one
who succeeds in withdrawing the
husbands affections from the wife
is almost impossible OF measure.
ment."
| The case is one in which Grace
Hanna sued Thomas Hanna in the
Dawson county court, father of the
husband, David w. Hanna, for $780,
600 for alternating the affections OF
the,husband, alleging that he did so
by comparing her aud her work
with that of former sweethearts of
her husband. The jury gave Mrs.
Hanna a verdict of $4,000, and Mr..
Hanna appealed. The, case goes
back for new trial.

Money Went to Right Name,

Columbus, Neb., Feb. 2S.-(Spe-
cial.) - Similarity of names has
caused an unusual tangle in the set
tlement of an estate. About 10
months ago Roger Breheny died
at the home of his niece. Mrs. Peter
Noonan of Humphrey, Neb. Among
the requests was one of $500 to a
niece, Mrs. John Dyer of Seattle,
Wash. :.
The executor RENTED the $500 to
Mrs. Dyer by mail several months
ago. The letter was delivered to a
Mrs. John c. Dyer of Seattle. The
receipt was returned, properly
signed, and the error was not discov-
cred until a few weeks ago.
Now the wrong Mrs. Dyer re-
fuses to part with her unexpected
money. The matter has been taken
up in the federal, courts to deter
mine whether she committed a
breach of the postal laws in re-
ceiving and retaining a remittance
addressed to another person.
