Many were the expressions of appre-
ciation received from Galveston folks
when The Galveston Shopping Guide an-
nounced some days ago that it would
hold a Carnival of Food and Industrial
Show under the personal direction of
Garnett B. Clarke. Mr. Clarke has con-
ducted similar shows in Galveston in
1923, 1924 and 1925. So, people who re-
member those past shows can be assured
of many unique events, beautifully as-

Hi
issue of the Union Review we made a
special plea to the Musicians and the Ho-
tel and Restaurant Employes to have
some one at the meeting, so that we
would not make a mistake, and would
be able to keep up efforts in the straight
and narrow path.
Because we had a tip that the music
at a certain place was not right, and
because the place might not be in line
with the Restaurant Employes.
We want to extend our thanks to the
president of the Musicians, who was with
us, and who assured us that the rumor
was false. But it is to be regretted that
the Hotel and Restaurant Employes did
not take any notice. If our eats should
happen to be pullel off at a place that
was not just right, there would be a
mighty kick by his excellency the mighty
Monkey Monk. We are sorry. We
thought we had revived a spirit of en-
ergy at our last eats, but it soon wore
off.
He may be a firm believer- in the
Lord, but we would like to put him next,.
and advise him that the Lord takes care
of those those take care of themselves.
One of our members explained to us
that some of the union men thought
more of fraternal organizations than
they did of the union that was support-
ing them and giving them their bread
and butter, and the wherewith to keep
up their membership in the fraternal
organizations.
A member of the Metal Workers was
with us as a visitor. He didn’t seem to
’ be very favorably impressed, but said
that he thought it was what was needed
in the union movemnt. He said he would
try and have a few metal workers at the
next meeting if he could interest them.
Take it from me, brother, it’s going to
be worth while.
Now before we go into any details we
want to call your attention to a few
things that might have escaped your ob-
servation. At the meeting at Gaido’s we
elected a vice-president and four mem-
bers of the executive board. Article VI

souvenirs and samples from various

The program for Tuesday night is

sented Tuesday afternoon, under the di-
rection of Mrs. Julia B. Clarke. Some
25 children under eight years of age will
take part. Other details of the program
for the week will be announced later.
Merchants who have taken booth space

The Carnival of Food and Industrial
Show will be held in what was formerly
known as the Ott Marble Works, 2111
Avenue 1. The building is 125 feet in
length and two full lots in width, and
will be large enough to house over thirty
exhibits and take care of some two
thousand persons at one time. It con-
tains a fine, unusually strong mezza-
nine floor, where each evening dancing
will be permitted and plenty of seats
will be placed for those who tire of mill-
ing around the exposition hall. It con-
tains many large and quickly accessible
exits, has a large arched skylight roof
which -will afford an open-air daylight
effect, and furnish plenty of fresh air,
or the building at a few moments’ notice
can be heated should cold weather pre-
vail during the show. It is but one-half
block from the 21st and 25th car line,
33rd and Depot car line, and Avenue L
car line, so one can easily reach the ex-
position building by transferring from
any car line in the city.
Here’s the building that will have thousands of Galvestonians visit it during the week of February 27 to March 3. It is
located at 2111 Avenue I (formerly known as the Ott Marble Works), for in this suitable and attractive building will be
held the GALVESTON SHOPPING GUIDE’S Carnival of Food and Industrial Show.

something for once that will astonish the

it is accepted by the Labor Council, it
behooves us to give it the same atten-

it. We must map out a plan of procedure
and it’s going to be lots of work.

Washington, D. C.—“Courts are
more eager to protect property than
man,” said Frank Morrison, secretary
A. F. of L., in urging the Senate Ju-
diciary Committee to favor the Ship-
stead anti-injunction bill.
The trade unionist reviewed the his-
tory of the A. F. of L.’s long fight
against the labor injunction. He recalled
that in 1907 President Van Cleave of the
National Association of Manufacturers
called upon that association to contribute '
$500,000 a year for three years to fight
trade unions in the courts. In that year,
he said, three officials of the A. F. of
signed to do and any one that feels that
it’s just a matter to be elected to some-
thing and then forget it, has arother
guess coming. This is just a little re-
minder. This new venture expects to
do some business. It is not the Labor
Council. The members will have to
wake up. They can sleep when they
come to the Labor Council. The secre-
tary is trying to do’ away with this sys-
tem even in the Labor Council and wants
more interest manifested in the work. A
union should send its full quota of del-
egates.
The meetings last night went on rec-
ord favoring Labor Day and a parade
for that day. Just what that means you
can readily understand and we want this
committee or board of directors to do
its full duty. The secretary will advise
you to come at an early date to make
preparations.
The next eats will take place Friday
night, March 2nd, 1928. The place is
still to be selected and you will be no-
tified. We desire to make a change in
diet and w want every member to at-
tend .
Speakers have not as yet been selected,
but there will be some and they will have
to come across just the same as any-
body else. No free tickets.
We were informed last night that it
is impossible to interest union men in
their union. You can interest them in a
fraternal organization, but a union,
never! They won’t take any part in
things that are to their interest and
wouldn’t pay two bits to improve their
5% on Amounts under $500.00
6% on Amounts of $500.00

self.
We also extend an invitation for the
Metal Workers to realize how you feel,
but take it from us, boys, it will pay to
get in and help manage the affairs of the
organization.
The Hotel and Restaurant Employes
can do better and we are looking for
them to do better. Just let’s see if there
aren’t two more men in the union that
are capable of taking this employment.
Supposing your delegate were to die.
Did you ever look at it in that light?
One of the members at last night’s
meeting said that the members that were
absent probably thought-that after they
paid their $1.50 that was all there would
be to it. They thought that after pay-
ing three months dues all things would
be brought to them on a platter. Well,
you sure are going to be disappointed.
Like poor old Rip Van, Winkle, when
you wake up from your long sleep things
are liable to be considerably changed.
Eats on the 2nd day of March, Friday
night, 8:30 p. m. You will be advised
when and where and how much of the
necessary you will be required to have.
Monday, March 9th, will be the busi-
ness metting at the Carpenters hall.
The Labor Council meets Monday,
February 27th, 1928.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE DEOBSTRUENT.
Vice-president, N. P. Blakemore; first
board member, Alex Yurash; second
board member, Martin Ohnstein; third
member, Otta Hausler; fourth member,

Denver, Colo.—The State Industrial
Comission is holding hearings on the
coal strike in this State that was origi-
nally called by the I. W. W. but who
have been pushed to the background.
The Colorado Labor Advocate, official
paper of the State Federation of Labor,
has charged that the coal operators im-
ported I. W. W.’s to foment trouble
and make the presence of troops neces-
sary. The labor publication now points
to the brotherly feeling between the I.
W. W.’s and the coal operators before I
the commission.
“I. W. W. leaders who are attending I
the hearing avoid asking any questions I
which might enibarras the operators, ” |
says the labor paper. “There seems to
be a deliberate attempt upon the part of !
these leaders and the operators to dis- !
credit the United Mine Workers as much |
as possible.”
The president of one coal company ।
declared that coal operators of this state ।
believe in collective bargaining “provid- (
ing that no demands are made on the j
coal operators and employesr are not al- ।
lowed to strike.”
