Active Members Plan
Mass Meetings

The Independent Shoe Workers
Union which is now undergoing a
period of reorganization of its forces
had meeting of all the active work
ers Wednesday at the union head
quarters, 16 w. 21st St.
The general report was given by
j. Magliacano, acting now as gen
eral organizer of the union. He re-
viewed the past and present situa-
ton, and laid out a plan of future
work, which must be started i'm
medlately in order to insure the sue
cess of the reorganization campaign.
The plans include the activization
of the various committees. such rs
the finance, membership, publicity
committees, etc. A wide distribu-
ton of leaflets dealing with the gen
eral situation as we'll as in the vari-
Gus shops must be started at once,
also shop gate meetings. Mass meet
ings are to be held more often in
the different sections of the city.
Shop committees are to be built in
the open shops.
Speeches from the floor pointed
out that the objective situation
among the shoe workers due to the
wage cut and the worsening Of the
conditions in general are such that,
if the plans of the union are prop
erly carried out it will undoubtedly
meet with great success.
A small group Of disrupters led
by the Lovestonites such as thinner
man and Jonas tried to disrupt the
meeting by attacking the policy and
the leadership of the union. AS q
remedy to the situation they pro-
posed to go back to the American
Federation of Labor, which, in this
case means the scab agncy that goes
under the name of the Boot and
Shoe, and-bore from within.
Needless to say, the workers
branded them as disrupters and
laughed heartily at the proposal of
the two "saviours" of the shoe work.

Gil shoots the bull by saying it is

foreign trade fell off S290,000,000
in the first three months of 1880,
and if it falls at that same rate
throughout 1880, instead of $780,
100000 for 1890, it will have about
S1,160,000,000. The councils Off

THE generally accepted idea that the cost

organizations that idea would hardly be found
to be supported by the facts. When worker

activities may be in the light Of the whole

taken from the job, some one must take his

But all names in German art pale into in
significance at the mention Of Albrecht Durer,
who was born in the quaint old city Of Nurenn-
berg in 147l. As his father was q goldsmith
the youthful Albrecht worked at the same craft
before he became proficient in painting and
engraving. Living in the days Of Martin Luther
Durer seemed at times to come under the great
leaders influence; one can see by his engravings
that he was deeply stirred by religious thought,
for. from his hand have come some Of the
worlds most beautiful pictures of the Nativity
It Is frequently said that Durer was the repre-.
sentative man Of his day-that he was the Ger

has been acclaimed Is one Of the greatest
masters. In addition to his wonderful line

machine guns and service revolvers
from the Coast Guard headquarters in
this city, the officers, IS in number
were released tonight. Comdr. M. w
Rasmussen, in charge Of the station
has submitted to Washington a full
report Of the affair and Is continuing
his investigation in the hope Of defi-
nitely fixing the responsibility.
The commander 10 convinced the rob-
berry was q Combination inside and
outside job" that Is, one or more Coast
Guardsmen conspired with q person OF
persons outside the service for the re-
lease Of the weapons.
The most mystifying angle in the
theft Is the removal Of an entire case
containing the machine guns from q
busy part of the main building. These
guns are thought by this time to have
reached the hands Of running
gang operating on Lake Erie or to be
in the possession of other racketeers.
It was said that while the machine
guns probably were not expensive when
purchased, they can be legally obtained
only by Government or law enforcing
agencies. Gunmen and racketeers nay
high prices for such weapons, due to
difhculty in obtaining them.
The investigation was continued
throughout the night. each one Of the
IS men under arrest being questioned
at length.
