Teeth
One hundred Omaha shoe clerks,
headed by JE. L. Livingston of the
Drexel Shoe company, paid an infor
mal visit to the Walkover. Shoe com
pany store last night 'at 6:45 o'clock
to ascertain why their request to close
at 6 p. m. had not been complied
with.
Instead of meeting a rebuff from
Managers E. C. Thompson and W. H.
Slaughter they-were invited to take
chairs, after which cigars were passed
and formation of a union was planned.
The Walkover management had in
vited Secretary Wangberg of Central
Labor union and David Couts. editor
of the Labor Unionist to attend, who,
following the suggestion of Messrs.
Thompson and Slaughter, advised an
organization as an auxiliary to tha
labor federation, which could suggesKj
a specihe plan for all retail mer
chants. An eight-hour day was also
included. ,
At the suggestion of the Walkover
management a resolution was passed,
dflling a meeting next Monday night
at 8 o'clock at the Labor Temple to
organize a union, to elect officers and
apply for a charter.
A paper, endorsing this action was
signed almost unanimously and the
Walkover company pledged itself to
the amount of $2a toward a fund to
complete arrangements.
