A mass meeting of all the union members of El Paso will be held at labor union hall on Overland street Saturday even- at which plans for the political campaign will be discussed by the labor leaders. The unions have been preparing for their fight for several weeks, and one of the first moves was to arrange to have the members of the unions pay their poll taxes and receive credit for this amount on their union dues.

The Typographical union has had this plan in effect for the past two weeks and when the poll tax receipts are shown the holder Is given credit for $1.75 on his union dues. Other unions are using the same plan for getting as many poll taxes paid among their members as possible. One man said Saturday that if the plan was carried out of the unions, there would be more than 1400 labor votes at the primary election. Think They Are Grieved. Some union labor folks believe they have, a grievance, and they are planning to center their attack on the ring caucus candidates for nomination, they say.

Adrian Pool, candidate for recorder on the administration ticket, is a man who has leanings toward corporations, they say. He Is also a man without family. Both of these good reasons, the union men say, for union labor opposing his nomination. Jones Is a laborer, a carpenter, and may get support for the office. Around mayor Kelly the unions say they will center their fight.

Kelly to them is the ring and the ring has not dealt fairly with the union workers of the city, the union leaders declare. The mayor is the head of the party, for these conditions and they wish him dethroned. Aldermen Blumenthal and Clayton come in for a share of the union opposition. part In the hiring of the Mexican band for the summer con- Is one reason why he Is opposed i ty the union men, who claim that mu- from Juarez are employed by the city In the Municipal band. Alderman Clayton is held responsible for the maintenance of nonunion municipal blacksmith Some More Grlfivances.

The printing of the stationery and supplies In a nonunion shop Is still another grouch the union men have against the administration individually and collectively and the refusal of the city council to consider the petition of the unions for cheaper gas at the Thursday council is yet another reason they are complaining. A labor union ticket has been sug- gested but the union will be cast for the men who announce themselves in opposition to candidates, it is said. This vote, augmented by the anti-ring vote In general should be enough to defeat any of the candidates, the agitators of the movement declare. All this and more will be discussed and rediscussed at the mass meeting Saturday evening at which only union men will be admitted. launch, cigars and beer will served free One Legislator Is Accused of Purposely Delaying Printing a Bill.

This and a check for 15 cents which was at the First National bank for payment complete the sum total of the strange occurrences in El Paso on the supposedly fatal day. The local city ticket offices were evidently under the spell of the day, for there were but three tickets sold at one of the biggest offices Fridfy, and they were for Saturday trains. The postoffice receipts were normal, no one hesitating to send or cash money orders. The banks did the usual brisk business Friday, checks were fered and )iald, notes were taken up and no paper received. Racing I iilucky.
