ers met last evening in its regular
session just the same and every
chair in the Cooksand Waitershall
was filled,and in each chair was en-
thusiastic loyal union man . Every
officer was present and all were
there promptly when the gavel
dropped at eight o’clock. We have
been bragging on our meetings of
late for the way the business is
transacted and last evening was ex-
ceptionally to the good. Secretary
Carthy had his desk piled high
with business, and each and every
item was given careful attention
and consideration and disposed of
in a prompt business like manner
A hearty interest was taken by all,
and all matters disposed of with
absolutely no rag chewing innings,
no ill nature and all with only the
organizations best interest in view.

Stole Nine Passes.
The NewsTuesday morning says:
On a charge of theft the police yes-
terday arrested Oscar Forrest, form
erly an employe in the Santa Fe
general offices here. In the com-
plaint, which is signed by Serg. D.
Curtain, is alleged Forrest stole
nine railway passes, the same being
the property of the Gulf, Colorado
& Santa Fe Railway and being of
the value of $100.
This is another sample of the
brand of cattle being imported by
Clarke & Courts to take the places
of the striking printers. This fel-
low was imported some time ago
and employed by the above firm as
a printer for quite awhile. Thus it
is, ever. Any old thing is import-
ed and the Galveston people are
compelled to associate with them
just to gratify the whims of a man-
ager who is opposed to fair condi-
tions in his composing room.

Progressive Cohen.
Though progress on the new
Robt. I. Cohen building has delay-
ed somewhat, this up-to-date cloth-
ier and gents’ furnisher is using a
part of the new store’s interior,
thereby handling the wants of their
customers with little or no incon-
venience .
Eighty-one members in good
standing is the tally now, and
eighty-one boys pushing for 585 is
the watch ward, so why should we
not be jubilant?
Bro. Trousdale as business agent
made a most gratifying report and
he was continued for another two
weeks.
Six new members took the obli-
gation and several applications are
on hand, and more are to follow.
An appeal for help from El. Paso
met with a financial response and
a well wish from the local.
One of the union firms of the city,
Cordua Adv. Co. sentacongratula-
tory letter to the local which was
well received, and the business
agent says all bosses talk the same
way.
Two hours was our time limit and
in that time several of the boys
made good union talks for union
good, and all went home feeling
glad they had barred the storm to
be present. Long winded nothing
accomplished, rag chewing meet-
ings are now a thing of the distant
part in 585 and the results of such
meetings as we are having is all to
the good. No. one is sick, and all
are working every day and a few
getting in some overtime.
There are still a few non-union
men in Galveston, and we hope the
time is not far distant when we can
write “solid union” after the name
of Galveston, we have nothing
against those men and we speak of
them in our meetings as we would
our own brothers, only we want
them with us for ours and their
own mutual good and betterment of
our craft and social positions.

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Ny one Studying the History of Galveston can readily see the brilliant future for Port Bolivar—Not many years ago Galveston had no deepwater and onlv one railroad, and
A; the Territory upon which she now depends for her greatness was then sparsely settled and unproductive of export commodities and consumed little of imports, yet
♦ 1 ♦ Galveston today is ranked among the greatest ports of the world—Port Bolivar is the natural outlet for a vast territory thickly populated and producing an enor-
...2 mous amount of export commodities, such as corn, cotton, cotton seed meal, cake, live stock, etc,, aside from nature’s bounteous yield of lumber, logs, ores, and pro-
ducts of the mines. The region consumes a large amount of commodities also.
This enormous amount of shipping necessary to supply this great territory and population with port facilities must of necessity be at Port Bolivar, where the neces-
dlin storing checking and transporting will create a pay roll of larger proportions, which added to rice mills, boat building plants, sawmills, and wood working plants,
faryall of which Port Bolivar is a logical location, being the base of supply for raw material, cheap fuel and the advantages of cheap water rates. All the industries will furnish
prfitable employment to a large number of men and it, is a proven fact that where there is a large pay roll there is a city.

In Memorian.
Wm. L. Nelson, a well known
member of the Screwman’s Bene-
voent Association, I. L. M. & T.
A., No. 317, age 66 years, died af-
ter a short illness, at his residence
No. 1403 Thirty-sixth St., April
25th, 7 P.M.
Deceased was born in Tunsberg,
Norway, April 2nd, 1841. His
early career was a sea-faring man,
until the late 60’s, when he visited
the States,.and later became a resi-
dent of Galveston, where he has
since remained for nearly forty
years.
A man of cheerful disposition, a
kind word for every one, with ma-
lice toward none, and especial love
for his family, his sudden death is
a sad blow to his friends and asso-
ciates. An abundance of floral
tributes at his funeral bore evidence
of the high esteem and regard in
which he was held.
Galveston Local, No. 317, which
honored him in the days of his life,
gave him all the honors it could at
his death, and escorted the remains
to his last resting place in Lake-
view cemetery, April 27, 1907. De-
ceased is survived by a widow and
two sons, William and George.

O. A. Anderson.
The Labor Herald, of Savannah,
Ga., pays Brother O. A. Anderson
the following nice compliment:
Eighth Vice President O. A.
Anderson, of the International
Longshoremen, Marine and Trans-
port Workers, visited our city and
remained here for several days,
looking over the situation and ad-
vising the local unions of long-
shoremen what to do.
Brother Anderson is a practical
man and a hustler, he is a also a
forceful and convincing speaker,
and his addresses before his locals
and the mass meeting will long be
remembered by all who heard him,
who have been both strengthened
and instructed by his visit.

Their record is a guarantee for the fu-

building of our city. Under the most
adverse conditions they have given Gal-
veston its best city government. Every
citizen who has the welfare of Galves-
ton at heart should vote for their re-
