It is the hope of the members of the trades unlons and of all reasonable citi- zens of this republic that the hour may not be long deferred when happiness. will be a synonym of prosperity and when wealth is recognized only for the good it can and does accomplish, In the evening the members of the Labor Council enjoyed the vaudeville show in the theater.
