MACHINISTS UNION

The regular meeting Of Licking
Lodge No. 80, l. A. of NJ, Tuesday
evening was we'll attended and an
unusual amount of important business
was transacted.
A communication from lnterna-
tional President w. M. Johnston stated
that the men were standing shoulder
to shoulder all over the country ano
that a favorable settlement OF the
trouble was assured.
The local outlook is favorable, pub
lie spirited citizens and majority OF
the merchants are favorable to the
cause and all assisting by making
liberal donations of cash and mer-
chandise, as are also many OF our
farmer friends who are bringing IN
large quantities of vegetables and
fruit for our commissary department
Many of them, while not personally
acquainted with the men, take this
means of expressing their sympathy
for the strikers and boosting the cause
along. JOHN bOoh'

TRADES AND LABOR ASSEMBLY Y

The Newark Trades and Labor AS
sembly met in regular session Sunday
morning with thirty-eight members
and five visitors present, and was
called to order by President Victor
Walk.
The credentials of Bros. E. F..
Monohan and Elmer E. Leedy, repre-
senting Electrical Workers No. 1105,
were received and accepted, and Bro.
Monohan, being present, was obli-
gated.
From all reports that came in from
the various affiliated Local Unions a
large turnout can be expected in the
parade on Labor Day. The delegate
from the Ladies Auxiliary l. A. of M.
reported that they expected to turn
out 100 per cent strong; this will be
a new feature of Labor Day parade
in Newark. The writer hopes that in
the near future there will be more
Auxiliaries organized, especially a
Womens Trade Union Label League.
The Labor Day Committee reported
that arrangements were going along
fine. They expect to give prize for
the best float in the parade and every
one buying a ticket for the Labor Day
dance will get a chance on large
combination range, donated by The
Wehrle Co., and a fine electric port
able lamp, donated by The Kelsey Co..
Various communications were re-
ceived and disposed of as the case
warranted
At this time the members were ad-
dressed by Congressman Bro. VIM. M.
Morgan, who briefly related some Of
the things that had transpired since
he became a member of congress. He
also stated that he considered no
honor greater than that of being a
member of organized labor, and ad-
monished the members of the Assem-
bly, to continue militant in the Labor
movement because he considered the
Labor movement a work that at all
time had the welfare of the masses
in general at heart.
All those that desire concessions for
stands on Labor Day should make ap-
plications at the office of the Leader.
First come first serve.
Meeting closed at II o'clock with
the time well spend.

LADIES' FEDERATED SHOP
CRAFTS AUXILIARY

The Ladies Federated Shop Crafts
Auxiliary was organized at the home
of Mrs. Myrtle Sisk, Tuesday evening,
August 18th, 1922, with twenty-five
members present. The meeting was
opened by Mrs. F. M. Howard, who
explained that the object of this or
ganization was to get together the
shopmen's wives and stand pat with
their husbands at this time of need,
and to uphold the unions, buy only
union articles, and patronize union
men and friends of organized labor.
Mr.. J. H. Sharritt, A. F. of l.. Or
ganizer, gave the ladies a talk on
unionism, and what it meant at this
time when things were most serious.
He also told them at this time he
thought the best name for their or
ganization was Ladies Federated Shop
Crafts Auxiliary, which was adopted.
Mr.. Sharritt told the ladies he hoped
to see one of the largest bodies Of
women in the Labor Day parade that
was ever held in Newark, and to this
response every one pledged their best
support.
The business session was then
opened and the following officers
elected
Past President-Mrs. F. M. Howard.
President-Mrs. Daisy Winters.
Vice Pres.-Mrs. Myrtle Sisk.
Secertary-Mrs. Laura Howard.
Treasurer-Mrs. Hazel Keller.
Chaplain-Mrs. Lula Wolfe.
Inner Guard-Mrs. Viola Sprouse.
Trustees-Mrs. Pearl Powell yrs,
Mrs. Lucy Smith, 2 yers., Mrs. Louise
East, l yr.
A committee was appointed to look
after banners for the Labor Day
parade, and we earnestly hope every
woman who is shopman's wife will
be in line on that day. We are look
ing forward to this Labor Day as be-
ing one of the most successful that
was ever held in this city and each
and every one of US should do our
part.
A motion was made that we leave
our charter list open until the 10th of
September, and expect to have every
lady in the Ladies Federated Shop
Crafts Auxiliary. Those who were
unable to attend the meeting on Tues
day just hand in their names to some
one who was there, or give it to our
secretary, Mrs. Laura Howard. We
will be glad to take care of you.
Much credit is due Mrs. Sisk and
Mrs. East for their efforts in getting
together these women, also to Mrs.
F. M. Howard for helping them to or
ganize. We wish to thank them for
all they have done.
The time for our first regular meet
ing will be announced in the Leader,
so please watch for it. The meeting
will be held in the Trades and Labor
Assembly Hall on West Main street.
We want all who can to attend this
meeting, as we expect to make final
arrangements for the Labor Day
Parade.

LABOR DAY
To be Biggest Event
of the Year
Monster Parade, AmuSe-
ments All Day

From present indications the COM
ing celebration of Labor Day will be
a grand success, and will surpass it's
predecessors in every way. The COM
mittees are working hard, and prom
ise many new and attractive features
for the amusement of the crowd.
This year the celebration will again
be held on the streets surrounding the
square, and there will be something
doing all the time. The complete pro-
gram has not as yet been arranged,
but surprising stunts will be put on,
and many games, sports and contests
will keep things moving all day.
In the afternoon several noted
speakers will deliver appropriate ad-
dresses, among them being Jas. c..
Shanessy, of Indianapolis, Ind, Gen
eral President of the International
BARRIERS Union, and C. N. Fullerton,
of Washington, Ind, General Chair
man of District No. 20 l. A. of M.
In the evening a grand ball will be
given in Woodmen hall on the south
side, the tickets for which while SELL
ing at nominal price, will entitle the
holder to a chance on fine enameled
combination gas and coal range, do
mated for the occasion by the Wehrle
Co., and an elegant electric portable
table lamp given by the Kelsey Co.
1t is not necessary to attend the dance
IN order to participate in the drawing
OF these gifts, neither is the number
Of tickets sold to one individual limit
ed, so you may purchase as many as
you desire.
All Local Unions, so far as heard
from, have promised to turn out 100
per cent strong and the prospects are
good for an unusually fine parade.
There will be at least four bands, and
number of floats and other attrac-
tive features. The line of march is
short and the column will move at ten
o'clock sharp. So get busy and be on
hand in time. 1t is not necessary or
expected that the bodies will be in
uniform, that is optional; all that is
necessary is to get the boys together
in their everyday working clothes so
we can show the sidewalk bunch some
thing worth seeing.
Formation of Parade
The delegates to the Trades Assem-
bly, will meet at Labor Hall at 9:3O
and proceed in body to their posi-
tion at the head of the parade; men,
bers of local unions will report at
the same hour at the position assign
ed to them in the order of formation
