It is about time the citizens of East

Chicago would get up in arms and abolish the cement nuisance under

which we are suffering. Carpets, furniture, draperies and floors are being ruined, not saying anything about the

health of the people. The housewife

must go over the daily task of clean

ing not once, but two and three times

a day and then at the end, what is the result? Cement all over. Why not

let our citizens go to the council meet

ing and have Mayor Schlieker act.

There must be a city ordinance or

what do we pay taxes for? Something

must be done and soon. A CITIZEN.

other, I do not think it out of place

to apeak on behalf of organised carpenters of this city. Aa business agent may cay; I am now serving my fourth term of office and third ln succession, and believe I have a very many good reasons for being a union man. I will give you.

Ten good reasons why we who are

members of the United Brotherhood of

Carpenters and Joiners of America should be true and loyal to his local and obligation, for when rightly understood it la love to all and malice

to none. 1. Because each member that is

truly organized not in word only but

ln deed and in truth, is better off than he ever was, before to support his family. 2. We encourage an apprentice sys

tem which has a tendency to produce better workmen. 3. To cultivate a true feeling of brotherly friendship, among the craft, and among all men. 4. To further assist each other to secure employment, so far as is possible. I

8. To reduce the hours of our dailywork. Some of you, remembering working ten hours per day for $1.57 to J2.00. 6. To secure a fair days pay for an honest square days work, not forgetting that we hold It as a sacred principal that trade union men above all others, should set a good example as good and faithful workmen, performing their duties to their employers with honor to themselves and their or

ganization.

7. To furnish aid in case of need or Ickness, thus you lay up for yourself.

against a rainy day, which will come at one time or another, and when you

at least expect It.

8. In case of death for this above

all other is a time when help is much

needed, you leave a funeral allowance, however little that may be, it is a help. And that little is worth more than a great pile, of so-called pity. Tou may go right up to the throne of God, but I cannot see how that man will or can be everlasting and un-1 speakable happy up there as some-1 times is said having died with a full knowledge that his family , wa In

want. If he ln life had the .opportunity to provide, but did not.

9. To stay right by all legal and

proper means to elevate the moral In

tellectual, and social condition of all.

as a member of this lne great family.

10. Hold fast to what we have

gained in the past, we have lost nothing, it may at times been going up hill, but each step has been a victory

ln diminishing the hours of dally la

bor. With an advance of pay, you are now in a position to explain what the union Is and what it can do. If

we as men, play the part, of men, It

means the act of joining two more

things into one. A combination of

workmen, a trades union. Especially among themselves, in their own interest, also concord, or harmony, that Is in harmony with our neighbors, our employer and so far is in our power lay, with all men.

A new issue has been injected Into

Indignation meetings, and it is said

that some of them threaten to boycott

The men are also taking a hand and

the following petition is being clrcu

to see this city as a desirable place

for residence, as well as a place to wiork. "We the undersigned legal voters of East Chicago, regardless of past or present political affiliations, do hereby agree and pledge ourselves that we will not vote for any candidate for mayor or alderman until he has publicly pledged can to remove the present unsightly billboards from all residence sections of the city, and do all within his power, if elected, to adopt an ordinance preventing any future erection of large bill boards on vacant lots ln residence sections." The movement for the petitions was started last night by residents in the vicinity of Forsythe avenue and J4Sth street and according to those responsible for It is being taken up by others.
