TRADES COUNCIL
Tht Co-Operative Trades and Labor
Council met Tuesday night in regular
session. President Charles Hosea
presided, and forty delegates answer
ed the roll call.
The minutes of the previous meet*
ing were read and approved.
Several bills that were presented
and allowed.
A
communication was read from
Wm, Green, president, and Frank
Morrison, secretary of the American
Federation of Labor. The communi
cation states that reports from many
sections of the country show that
some corporations and some employ
ers of labor are actively engaged in
organizing company unions and are
soliciting their emplpoyes to become
members of these hastily formed com
pany unions. Following the enact
ment of the industrial recovery act,
the spirit of organization has been
aroused among unorganized workers.
The workers are desiring to become
members of bona fide independent un
ions identified with the American
Federation of Labor. The officers and
members of the federation are ready
to render service to the unorganized
workers and calls upon all trades
organizations to assist.
On motion the communication was
received and ordered complied with.

reported that their organization is
getting along fairly well, and with a
small increase in membership.
Metal polishers report working con
ditions slow and only six members
working.
Musicians reported Ladies' Band
continues to be non-union.
Plumbers reported few members
working and requested that when
having plumbing done, make some
effort to see that they are union
plumbers.
Printers report conditions fair.
Street and electric railway em
ployes reported that they have ac
cepted a seven cents per hour cut
in their salary. They also reported
that the company promised to in
crease their wages in the event the

Delegates of the Label League re
ported organization in splendid con
dition.
Delegates of the building trades
reopened the discussion as to the re
port made by Trades Council's com
mittee after meeting with the Gimble
Motor Company and the Fisher
Hardware Company. On motion both
places were considered non-union.

ical committee reported that they
have discontinued their meetings un
til the next sessions of congress and
the state legislature.

in regard to the Grigsby-Grunow
Company of Chicago, manufacturers
of radios and refrigerators. Several
discussions by the council's delegates
concerning this company have been
held in the past several meetings

had progressed
so
far
that they became the envy of the bar
barians beyond their frontier. The
emperor saw the danger signal,
and
decided to build the great uncllmbable
wall from the sea to the farthest west
ern corner of his empire.
He assembled 300,000 workmen, and
forced them to work night and day to
build the giant barrier against Inva
sion. His workmen tolled unceasingly
for 15 years. He had the foundations
built of granite, and Into the wall,
made of bowlders and burnt bricks, he
threw the bodies of 1,000,000 of his
subjects—"to make It strong." He
built 25,000 towers and 15,000 watch
towers, which he manned with a newly
recruited army. Many of those towers
today are being used for their orig
inal purpose—to keep out the invader.
The wall Is twenty-five feet wide, and
crosses mountains more than a mile
high. It begins 200 miles east of Pei
plng, on the coast of the Gulf of Liao
tung, and stretches westward to the
edge of the Gobi desert. The giant
barrier varies from thirty to sixty
feet In height, and has a massive par
apet on each side.—Montreal Herald.

There are a number of pen portraits
of
Thomas Jefferson. Here Is one
drawn by Judge Joseph Story, in May,
1807, when Jefferson wa8 half way
through his second term as President
of
the United States.
"Jefferson is tall and thin,
of
a sal­
low complexion, with a fine, Intelligent
eye. He conversed in a very easy, cor
rect, and pleasant style. His language
Is
peculiarly appropriate, and his man
ner very unaffected. The negligence
of his address a little surprised me.
He received us In his slippers, and
wore old-fashioned clothes, which were
not in the nicest order, or of the most
elegant kind a blue coat, white
worked cassimere waistcoat and
cor
duroy breeches (small clothes) consti
tuted his dress.
"The President
Is a

In his first address, but you are im
mediately at ease In his presence. His
manners are inviting and not uncourt
ly and his voice flexible and distinct.
He bears the marks of intense thought
and perseverance in his countenance."

College of the City of New York: "We
will never bring disgrace to our city

nor ever desert our suffering comrades

revere and obey the city's laws aud
do our best to incite a like respect

are prone to annul them and set them
at naught we will strive unceasingly
to quicken the public's sense of civic
duty and thus, In all these ways, we
will strive to transmit this city not
only not less, but greater, better and
more beautiful, than it was transmit
ted to us."

Animal Lore for Offspring
Mother animals love their offspring,
but only for short periods, says
a
writer in Tit Bits Magazine. During
the period when their kittens or calves
or puppies or foals are helpless, moth
ers will fight to the death to protect
them. Mother love, however, is not
a
lasting emotion. Yet It would seem
that animals are not such "dumb"
beasts after all. They think, they learn,
they rage and fear, they Buffer from
Jealousy and grief, and they love.
