Special permission of the war de- .

tournament, and Major General Bell
has ordered these 8000 soldiers to .
pitch a model army camp on the
for it.
An excellent orchestra had been
engaged for the occasion, and
throughout the evening there was
plenty of good music. The chairs
were moved back against the wall,
the center rug was taken up, and the
members and their guests had all
the dancing they cared for.
And- through it all pervaded an
exceptionally good spirit. Every-
one was feeling good and everyone
was bent on having a good time.
After the first round of refresh-
ments and dancing, President Lud-
gate called the house to order, and
introduced to those who did not al-
ready know him, William Laws, the
red to Commissioner Sappington for
investigation and report at the next
meeting, it being indicated that the
additional amount will be forthcom-
ing. In the meantime, it was decided
that Contractor Max Levy should
wait at least a week before begin-
ning the work of installing the four-
light system that was first author-
ized.
A claim for $2000 for the company
erecting the old crematory was pre-
sented to the board by an attorney
representing the Houston firm. The
board firmly declined this claim and
the attorney advised that he will sue
for the amount. Mayor Fisher stat-
ed that he did not believe the city
owed this amount, that rather the
company owed the city, for the cre-
matory had never operated to the
capacity it was guaranteed.
A petition was presented for the
construction of an amusement pavil-
ion on the northeast corner of 25th
and Boulevard. The matter was re-
ferred to Commissioner Norman and
City Attorney Royston to draw up
an ordinance permitting the use of a
part of the sidewalks in this, the
ordinance to be published ten days
before becoming effective.
Bids for constructing new sewer
laterals were received and referred
to Commissioner Shay and City En-
gineer .Dickey for tabulation and
report. They were as follows:
Hunter & Hunter, Houston—1,549
lineal feet of 8-inch pipe at 40c per
lineal foot; 1,549 lineal feet of run-
ning board at 2%c per lineal foot;
tees, ells, curves and other special,
50c each; manholes, $20 each.
Freund & Quay, Galveston—Pipe,
42c; running board, 2%c; specials,.
60c; manholes, $24.
A. C. Falligant, Galveston—Pipe,
| 46c; running board, 2c; specials; 30c;
manholes, $27.
A bid received from J. J. Kane of-
fered $100 for two oil tanks that
have been taken out of service at
the city pumping plant and the mat-
ter was referred to Commissioner
Shay, with authority to dispose of
the tanks in question.
Commissioner Shay asked author-
ity to advertise for bids on a new
2400-foot air compressor for the Alta
Loma pumping plant, to cost about
$11,000. This proposition has been
before the board before and not def-
initely settled.

themselves more than welcome by

ent at the meetings which are held
every Saturday evening at 7:30
o’clock at the rooms of the Labor
Dispatch.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to look after the interests
of Messrs. Campbell and Crowley,
selected and endorsed by the coun-
cil for the legislature: Messrs.
Young, Anderson, Potts, Wallace
and McNally. The secretary was
instructed to get all information rel-
ative to the 8-hour law in regards
to the custom inspectors, and to
write letters to Fred C. Pabst, col-
lector of customs; McAdoo, secre-
tary-treasurer; Representative Gregg
and Congressman Culberson for its
enforcement.
The Hotel and Restaurant Em-
ployes’ delegate, Mr. Lusk, reported
that a new restaurant had opened
up at Twenty-fifth and Mechanic
streets, called the Santa Fe, where
you could be served in first-class
style at moderate prices, and also
that the only union houses on the
beach were the Snug Harbor cafe,
Breakers cafe and Beacon hotel.
The following officers were nom-
inated, and if elected at the next
regular meeting will serve the Coun-
cil for the ensuing year: President,
J. W. Young; first vice-presidents,
T. J. Anderson and J. F. Young;
second vice-president, B. Michau;
recording secretary, J. P. Walsh; fi-
nancial secretary, J. McNally; treas-
urer, Wm. Windmeyer; reading

All differences between the Gill
Engraving Company of New York
City and the Photo Engravers Un-
ion, have been satisfactorily adjust-
ed, and on July 9th an agreement
was entered into for a period of
three years. This marks the end-
ing of an industrial conflict of six-
teen years’ duration, and which re-
ceived considerable prominence vy
reason of the recent litigation where-
in the Photo Engravers Union was
endangered by both federal And the
New York state anti-trust laws.
Mr. Matthew Woll, president of
the International Photo Engravers"
Union, reports that all differences
and difficulties have been successful-
ly overcome; that an agreement as-
suring union conditions for the next
three years has been signed; that
the Gill Engraving Company has
been granted the use of the I. P. E.

tion has ended.
A letter has been sent to Mr. Sam-
uel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, ex-
pressing appreciation -for the assist-
ance given the photo engravers by
the officers of the A. F. of L. and
organized labor, and requesting or-
ganized labor to hereafter support
the Gill Engraving Company the
same as all other fair concerns.
The adjustment likewise removes

allied printing trades union label,
as the Gill Engraving Company is
now entitled to the full protection
and to all advantages and benefits
of the allied printing trades union
label, the same as all other union
photo engraving establishments.
While Thursday’s meeting of the
'board of city commissioners was
one of the briefest held in several
weeks, there were many matters of
importance given attention during
the evening, chief among them be-
ing the proposition to close 7th
Street at the Broadway intersection,
deciding whether to pay a claim on
the incinerator and consideration of
a new air compressor for the water
pumping plant at Alta Loma.
During the past few weeks there
have been numerous petitions be-
fore the board asking that 7th Street
be closed at its intersection with
Broadway in order that a contin-
uous park may be formed from 8th
Street to the Seawall Boulevard. Dr.
H. O. Sappington, commissioner of
srteets and public property, last
night recommended that the request
be not granted, and the board adopt-
ed his recommendation. Still an-
other petition for the same thing,
however, was presented at last
nights meeting and referred to Com-
missioner Sappington for investiga-
tion and report.
A committee from the Galveston
Automobile Club, consisting of Ma-
co Stewart and Ed Lasker, was be-
fore the board to report on the mat-
ter of lights between 21st and 29th
Streets on Broadway. The commit-
would sue for the amount of fran-
chise tax claimed.

The Twenty-fifth anniversary of
the organization of Local 526, Unit-
ed Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America, of Galveston,
was fittingly celebrated by some
four hundred members of that or-
ganization at their Postoffice street
meeting hall last Tuesday evening,
when an Anniversary Social and En-
tertainment was given. The attend-
ance of more than 400 members, be-
sides a hundred or so contractors
and other friends of the members,
was the least thing about the cele-
bration, for it was a real success
from-start to finish, and altogether
one of the most enjoyable affairs
held by members of organized labor
this year.
Regular weekly meeting of the
Carpenters was held, beginning at
8 o’clock, but the routine business
was rushed through, and at 9
o’clock adjournment was had and
the social started. The hall was fill-
ed with carpenters and their friendc,
ed with carpenters and their friends,
most prominent ' local contractors
and other friends of the members of

Immediately the social session
was started, several members vol-
unteered their services, and the serv-

thing is in readiness for this great-
est of all Galveston’s festivals. No
detail that might make for the suc-
cess of the event has been left un-
done, and although it is still hold-
ing regular meetings and giving at-
tention to matters concerning the
big annual celebration, the Cotton
Carnival committee has about com-
pleted its work. The program, as

Next Saturday is election
day! -
Cast your vote early.
We connot urge to strongly
upon our readers the import-
ance of using their vote on this
day.
Never before have the issues
been so clearly defined. Never
have the opposing candidates so
cleanly represented the friends
of labor on the one hand and
the foes of labor on the other.
We must elect to office those
who are friendly to our cause if
organized labor is to progress
as it should during th next two
years.
Organized labor holds the bal-
ance of power at the polls and
if those candidates who are
friendly to labor are not elected
it will be because our members
have not voted.
Every vote counts and every
vote is needed!
Be sure that yours is cast ear-

the friends of labor!
will undoubtedly retain their place :
as the greatest drawing attraction,
visitors to the Cotton Carnival this
year will have a chance of viewing
a tournament and exhibition that is
seldom given in this country. In
fact, the military tournament that
8000 soldiers of the United States
army will give here during the car-
nival, is something that has never
before been done in history of the
nation.
In this tournament the army en-
camped at Galveston and Texas
City will be sent into action August
5th to 10th, inclusive, just as if it
were ordered into actual warfare,
only there will be no blood shed.
The program of this tournament
and exhibition, given by command
of Major General J. Franklin Bell,
has been announced by Major
Charles B. Hagadorn, Twenty-third
Infantry, the officer detailed as di-
rector of the big army tournament.
The spectators who see Uncle Sam’s
soldiers in action on the parade
ground of Fort Crockett will come
nearer seeing actual warfare than
many of the men now at Vera Cruz
awaiting the call to action. The
proceeds of the big tournament go :
to the Army Aid society for the ben-
efit of the widows and orphans of '
soldiers throughout the United i
States.
