All delegates were" requested to be
present at the next regular meeting
of th Assembly, at which time full
particulars will be had as to what
rates can be secured for the excursion
to Port Arthur on Labor Day. It is
thought that the Interurban Company
will place on a reduced rate for that
day. The Port Arthur organizations
have already taken up the rate propo-
sition with the railroad companies and
the members interested here will take
the matter up with the Interurban
company.

for such co-operation among the ap-
parently well-to-do, there must be a
greater necessity for families of labor
who feel more keenly the hand of de- l
pression and let me make a suggestion, I
we have a member of sterling honesty
and business ability that the weight of
years has somewhat incapacitated for
the hard work of our trade. The plan
is this, suppose we start him in the
grocery business to begin with and I
suggest this plan, that we pay each of
us one week’s grocery bill in advance,
which will capitalize the business with-
out capital and I suggest this plan.
Have scrip printed and each member
say five dollars worth of scrip at 12
per cent or pay $5.60 for five dollars
worth of scrip. When this scrip is
presented by any holder, he gets the
goods for actual cost, the profit al-
ready having been paid. Now 10 per
to go to Port Arthur on that day. Del- i
egate Maitrejean stated to the A_sem- i Secretaric re Eegneste Zcp
bly that a Labor Day ediion of the !
Labor Dispatch would be printed and |
the advertising- which would be print-
ed in same would help defray the ex-
penses of the celebration. He request-
d the Assembly to endorse this Labor
Day edition and furnish the solicitor
with credentials to solicit advertising
in Beaumont for that purpose. This
the council agreed to do as the cele-
bration in Port Arthur will be just as
much for Beaumont organizations as it
will for Port Arthur’s. The Secretary
was instructed to writh the credentials,
place the seal of the Assembly on same
and mail to the Port Arthur Trades
and Labor Council. President C. A.

Painter? Local No. 243 held their
regular meeting las Wednesday night.
Only the regular routine of business
was transacted at this meeting. Bro.
Ward deposited his card after a brief
stay in Houston and is again working
. in the city. The friends of Brother
Bud Williams will be sorry to learn
that he has returned to Houston to
enter an infirmary, as he has been ill
for sometime on account of his back.
Brother O. Lodoric of Houston is
doing the decorating on Dr. Richard-
son’s residence, being in the employ
of Contractor Reeves who has the job.
Brother C. Tolle is working on the hos-
pital job. Brother C. formirtlu want

reaux, Financial Secretary; Sam Rut-
ledge, Recording Secretary; Gus Van
Wiesberg, Treasurer; E. Hurst, Con-
x ductor, Wm. Gonzales, Warden. This

Carpenters.
Local Carpenters No. 823 met in
regular session with all officers pres-
ent together with a good attendance
One member was received by initia-
tion with other applications pending.
The proposition of Labor Day vzas up
for consideration but was deferred un-
til the next regular meeting night and
all members were notified to be pres-
'ent. Local 392 met on Saturday night
with all officers present, attendance
small. Three members were admitted
by clearance card and the action of
Labor Day, the same action was taken
as was by 823. The next regular
meeting a good attendance is expected
to be present.
Under the good of the order, a num-
iber of splendid talks were had that
were appreciated. After duly consid-
ering conditions and prospective work
it was decided ot reinstate the Busi-
ness Agent and Brother Robert Deans
was elected for the position. As polit-
ical discussions are debarred from our
■ meetings (and unwisely so) we have
' severed our affiliation from the State
FFederation of Labor, for an affiliation
with a political body, when discussions
are discountenanced is inconsistent.
Building activity seems to be at a
standstill although Dame Rumor ever,
alert says activity ■will soon over-
whelm us. From reliable information
cwe are informed that a Housewives
association has been perfected and
tbat as a result of its co-operation the
cost of living has been materially re-
duced. Now if there is a necessity
