UNION BANQUET HELD.
Members of the Various Unions Are
Banqueted at Eagle Restaurant. :'
That Will Maupin of The Wage-

was demonstrated to the Central" Labor
Union lf.st Monday night when its
members, to the number of a dozen or
more, Vere feasted by the Wagework
er's representatives at the Eagle res
taurant. . Th3 function was an Informal one,
but the spread was sumptuous, and in
stead of toasts the members present
ably discussed the affairs of the vari

for their upbuilding.

ideas and the consequence of opinion
was that renewed and greater effort
should be made to increase interest
and membership in the several unions
in the city.

Why EVerybodyWork8 But the "Head"
of the Family.
There, is a topical song greatly in
vogue at present which is rather xough
on the head of the family. It goes,
something like this: . - ' " ;
"Everybody works but father,
, . He stays it home all day;
Sitting around the fire,
Smoking his pipe of clay.
Mother takes in washing.
So does sister Ann;
. Everybody works but father,
My old man."
But "father" has yet to tell his side
of the story. It will be found in the
reports of the various factory inspect
ors, and it shows that father deserves
pity instead of ridicule. His side of it
may be also told in doggerel:
Mother works in a sweatshop,
Jenny goes out to spin;
Kit is ''cash" in a department store
-! Gee whiz, how the money comes in.
Jimmy picks slate in, a breaker,
"John i9 a "blower's dog;"
Everybody works but father,-'
A "chink's" got his job.
This would hardly run the gauntlet
of, a literary critic, -but it is, a mighty
powerful, showing why father does net
work, and if the exclusion ' bars are
let down; more an? more white fathers
will' "sit around ail day,' and ."chinks"
get father's job.--Mine Worker.
A PALPABLE HIT.
Union Man Hands a Clerk a Hot One
r . ' .'
on the Union Label.
Louis Connolly of the stereotypers
recently, handed the moat expressive,
convincing and sharpest reply to a
fresh clerk who knocked on the label,
that we ever heard In our lives. Mr.
Connolly had asked for the union la
beled goods, and, as usual, was getting
the customary advice from the clerk
as to what he ought to buy. Finally
the clerk thought he had one that
would floor ; big-hearted and honest
Lotils Connoily, when he asked " tlie
question: ."What is the-difference be.
tween the labeledarticle and the ar
ticle without the label?" "The differ
ence." snapped Connolly, as his eyes
shot fire, "is the same 'as between
yonr salary and mine" and the clerk
vent down behind the pasteboards i-i
confusion. - Keep 'Connolly's flash in

THE TEAMSTERS,
Still Hammering Away and Keeping
Up the Good, Work.
Despite manifold discouragements
the Teamsters' Union continues to do
business at the old stand. A renewed
interest is being' manifested in the
work of the union, anif it has been de
termined to make an -effort to secure
the co-operation of the ice .men and
the transfer drivers. j;An especial e:!j
fort will alscvbe made to secure the
co-operation of the men who drive the
brewory wagons.
The Teamsters have not received
from other unions the help that they
deserve. If Union men and women
will insist on h&ving union Teamsters
deliver their coal and. building ma
terial, and will insist on having their
household goods transferred by union
men, it will be a splendid help to the
Teatnsters' Union. And the union de
serves this support.
