LABOR DAY IN GALVESTON.
No Procession but Everybody Kept
Holday.
Galveston Texas. Sept. B. Labor
day was celebrated In Galveston in a
manner that was distinct and different
from celebrations of former years In
thai there wua no narade. The day
however was observed by a complete
shutdown of all forms of labor in
which union men are employed and
that Includes about 9!) per cent of
Galveston work. There are some few
trades which were forced to labor a
part of the day but these had part
of the time at toast. The printing
trades or rather the members en-
gaged on the daily papers had to be
on duty part of the time the barbers
made it a half day cloning at 12
o clock and the restaurant men di-
vided shifts so that all could get a
part of the day to themselves.
Along the w harf front the backbone
of Galveston labor everything was
quiet about all the work that was
done being the docking of one or two
vessels. This done the men promptly
knocked off and let It go for the day.
None of the stores opened for busi-
ness and the market closed at noon.
The city employes with the exception
of the police and fire departments
were off and except for the holiday
spirit (lalveston would have been as
quiet as Sunday.
CELEBRATION' AT PARK.
Although as stated there was no
parade there was a demonstration of
organized labor which every visitor to
Denver Beach park saw. Here the
union men and their families had
gathered taking w ith them their lunch
baskets and their hammocks. At an
early hour special cars were put on
the Denver Beach line and the crowds
began to gather early. A meeting of
the general committee having the cel-
ebration In charge was held Sunday
morning and it was found that" every-
thing was In readiness. The park was
a surprise to all visitors and It had
been fixed up In a manner that made
It a delightful pace to spend a day.
Two commodious dancing pavilions
had been built and two orchestras en-
gaged to furnish music for the young
folks Inclined to the tcrpNchorean art.
Swings for the children games In
which they took part and furnished
amusement for the older people had
been arranged and a program which
lasted an hour or more was carried
out in the evening.
While many were disappointed In
not having a parade most of the dis
'appointed ones were among those w jjo
I would not be expected to cover fifteen
to twenty-five blocks marching
through a hot sun.
Organized labor showed Its strength
by the fact that all work closed down
and that the doors of stores and of-
fices were closed.

COUTRUCT LET FOR I
UWIIII
Eight Bids Filed and Contract Went
. to J. 3. Harrison of Waco
for $129750.
College Station Texas Sept. 6.
Yesterday afternoon the board of di-
rectors of the Agricultural and Me
chanical College of Texas opened bids
for the erection of the two dormitories
which are to be constructed at one
from the funds arising from the pure
food tax which was recently voted to
the college for permaueut improve-
ments by the special session of the
Thirty-first legislature.
This la a pretty big contract. In
volving as it does something in the
neighborhood of a hundred thousand
dollars and over and there has been
a great deal of Interest In the bidding
by the contractors of Texas. The
work on the two buildings Is to be
carried on at the same time. That
la the contractor gets both buildings
and the foundation work Is to be done
on one. and while construction men
are at work on that the foundation
w III be started for the other. The con
tract calls for duplicate orders of
steel for two buildings duplicate or-
ders of brick etc. all through the en-
tire list of material.
The plans for these two buildings
were prepared in the department or
architecture and drawing of the col-
lege under the direction of F. E.
Ciesecke the professor In charge. The
buildings are to be of reinforced con
crete the exterior faced with old gold
mottled brick. There will be a court
faced with sand lime brick. The
buildings will fc 13 feet 6 inches by
'M feet in size four stories. The court
will be 2Sx4S feet In size. The trim
niings will bt of artificial stone. There
will be one hundred and two rooms
In each building. In the center of the
court will be a brick stack Is which
will be toilets and shower baths. The
ground floor wlir have twenty-four
rooms and on each of the other floors
will be twenty-six rooms. The rooms
will be 14x15 feet in size and in each
room w ill be built a gun rack for the
rifles of the cadets a closet for
clothes and room for two trunks two
beds a table and washstand. The
buildings are to be heated from a cen
tral plant
l-uder the military discipline of the
college it is found best to allow the
minimum of intercourse between stu-
dent during "call to quarters" when
they are at study hour. The West
Point plan Is to divide the buildings
into sections with fire walls. This
does not work well in Texas because
it interferes with ventilation so In
planning these two dormitories. Mr.
Uiesecke has separated each story or
floor of the building from all the
others. There will be no communica-
tion between any two floors and
there will be separate entrances for
each floor. This will give free ventila-
tion through the the entire building.
There will be 27.1 windows in each
building.
The two sides of the buildiugs wil
be identical with entrances on each
and the two ends will be Identical.
Entrance to the ground floor will be
on the ends by large doors and in the
sides will be three doors one for each
of the other three floors.
The two new dormitories will be j
hurried to completion so as to accom-1
modate the student body this session. '
There are now as many students reg-
istered as were at the college any day :
last session in fact more than at any j
one time and with three weeks be-
i fore the session opens it is confidently
relieved the tofal will reach a thou -
sand. With the dormitory room on
the campus and the new dormitories
tbere will be sufficient room for eVery
. . .
studert. No boy will be turned away.
