Waists, nearly all sizes, colors and quality of men's and boys' Clothing are included in this sale.

and wear will be equal to that of a garment you would pay full price for. This sale is attracting more
than ordinary attention and the lines will be closed out soon. Anticipate your clothing needs and come early.

CHURCH-LABOR MASS MEETING
Rev. Charles Stelzle Tells of a Big One
Recently Held.
One thousand delegates from every
part of the world attended the annual
convention of the Presbyterian Church
at Columbus, during the latter part
of May. They were the most repre-
sentative and the most Influential men
in the church.
The greatest meeting of the conven
tion was that held on Sunday after
noon in the interest of labor, and
which has the hearty co-operation of
the ; Columbus Federation of Labor.
The' Ohio State Journal gave, in part,
the following account of this great
gathering:
"Yesterday afternoon's assemblage
in Memorial Hall was at once the
greatest labor meeting and the great
est church meeting ever held in Co
lumbus, and probably the greatest
church-labor meeting ever held in any
city of the world. Upwards of seven
thousand persons gathered there to
hear Rev. Charles Stelzle of New
York, Superintendent Of the Presby
terian Department of Church and La
bor, in his address "Labor's Champion,"
and the success of the meeting was at
tested not alone by mere numbers
present, but : by the deep Interest
shown and the applause which greet
ed the speaker's remarks. The meet
ing can not but make a profound im
pression wherever the relation of the
laboring man, the church and the na
tional well-being is a subject for consideration.
"With the 'balcony packed, every
seat downstairs occupied and hun
dreds of persons standing. Memorial
Hall yesterday housed a more cosmo
politan crowd than ever before as
sembled in the city.
'"Rev. Mr. Stelzle- is known as the
champion of labor, and not only organ
ized but unorganized labor was repre
sented as it never before was repre
sented in a meeting in Columbus.
Fully three-fourths, perhaps, four-fifths
of the great concourse was composed
of men, the majority of whose toil is
with their hands. Scattered through
the hall were hundreds of others,
distinguished clergymen, eminent law
men, educators, professional and busi
ness men.
"The two locals of the International
Association of Machinists and Pattern
Makers' local and the, clerks, marched
to the hall in a body and were given
seats in the reserved space. This
reservation was found necessary long
before the time for the meeting to
open, as the crowds began arriving
early and kept coming until every inch
of the vast hall was filled. The follow
ing union labor leaders had seats on
the platform: J. D. Pierce, national
organizer for the American Federa
tion of Labor; Secretary W. F. Hauck
of the Columbus Federation of Labor;
J. D. O'Day and P. H. Mann of the
Columbus Central Body;' William
Hartman of the , Stage Employees;
Business Agent George Ertley and E.
P. Hawley of the Machinists' Union;
Leroy Osier of the Retail Clerks; C. B.
Knox of the Grocery Clerks; Albert
Seddon of the Plumbers'; Ira Hatton of
the Printers; John McManee, Cigar
Makers; Frank. Dennison, Iron and
Steel Workers and treasurer of the
Columbus Federation of Labor; Wil
liam Ritzman, Stationary Fireman and
John Ferson, Stationery Engineers. v
"Governor Harris was there and was
flanked by prominent , business men
and educators of the city. Music was
by a band composed of fully fifty mem
bers of the Musicians' Union and the
Cambria chorus of forty Welsh sing
ers. Mr. Stelzle -was introduced and
held his audience captivated by the
magic of his words:; It was evidently
a union audience as was testified by
the favor with which sentiments favor
ing organized labor were received."
TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.
Meets in Regular Session Next Sunday
at Bohanon's Hall.
Lincoln Typographical Union No.
i209 meets in regular monthly session
next Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The meeting will be held in Bohan
on's hall, South Tenth street. The
executive committee is still hunting
for permanent headquarters, but has
not found anything to suit.
President Coffey tried to go to work
last week, but found that his injured
hand was still out of commission. So
he packed his grip and .went to the
Oklahoma ranch to put in the time
until his hand is again all right.
Ollie Mickel drew his card last week
and for three or four months will
travel around the country, playing ball
and otherwise amusing himself.
Members are agitating the erec ion
of a suitable monument on the Union's
burial lot in Wyuka. The idea is a
good one, and next Memorial day
should see' a handsome stone marking
the last home of the union's mem
bers. At the conclusion of the memorial
exercises last Sunday a Lincoln busi
ness man approached a member of
the union and said:'' "I learned some
thing today. I supposed that your
union concerned Itself only with the
living. I supposed, too, that your un
ion, like the government, had no use
for a man after he was too old to pay
dues. The vast sums you have" ex
pended for the relief of your sick, for
the burial of your dead and for the
care of your, indigent and disabled
members was a revelation to me. 1 anj
E'.'ng to post myself on tnis trades
union movement. Such organizations
as yours are deserving of all praise
and the support of intelligent people."
There are less than lunlon print
ers in Lincoln. In the last eighteen
months they have expended more
money fori the good of their fellows,
for the advancement of the toilers and
for the alleviation of distress, than
any ' one church in " Lincoln has ex
pended in the same length of time.
Can you blame the man who wears a
Typographical Union button for being
proud of It? .
