The get-together meeting of union and non-union labor held in the court house last night was a rousing suc cess. The entire court room was packed and jammed from the judges stand to the back of the building; the windows were filled and the majority of the standing room was taken. The meeting was held for the pur pose of discussing ways and means by which labor may co-operate in the work incident to the reconstruction period and to rub shoulders with, one another and have a general good time. And to say they did this would be expressing it very mildly. The meet ing was , filled with a patriotic spirit and a feeling of good will toward every one and every interest existed. Short talks were made by F. B. Love, of Miami. Fla., and Mr. White, of Brunswick, Ga., who are employed at the T.ibertv shipyard. Their addresses were filled with interesting informa-J tion for both union and non-union la bor. Before the meeting was adjourn- Picked Up Around Town Examination For Carrier.

"Members of the committees ex pressing themselves were under the impression that the city council had gone on rtcord against the appearance of carnivals in Wilmington and had taken official action in regard to the matter." The council chamber was well filled with men and women, the majority of whom were there to enter protest against the attraction and to give moral support to the spokesmen. Fol lowing Secretary Cowan, Mrs. J. M. Solky protested in behalf of the Sorosis society, stating that she heartily en dorsed every word contained in the. preceding communication. Mrs. S. Solomon, interested in the Mothers' Boys' work, and Mrs. W. B. Cooper, representing the rescue com-mittee, argued against the coming of the carnival. W. H. Sprunt and J. Allan , Taylor j were among others who voiced their j disapproval of having such an attrac- j tion visit the city at this time. Mr Taylor argued from a health stand point altogether and said that no busi ness interest should be taken into con sideration when it was a matter of health at stake. He told bow the disease could be easily spread through the congregating of people in carnival tents and on the grounds. But as be considered it a matter of public health that should be passed upon by experts Mr. Taylor recom mended that it be left with the board of health to decide if the carnival should fill the engagement next week. Upon this recommendation a motion was made referring the matter to the board of health with request that a special meeting of that body be called tn rtass on it. Among those who spoke favorable for the carnival coming here were J. H. Stone, local organizer for the Amer ican Federation of Labor, and a rep resentative of the company that is to show here. The latter stated that the engagement had been made, trans portation arranged for and that from a business standpoint he felt that his comnanv should be allowed to fill the engagement. He also explained the sanitary conditions of his shows and invited the health authorities to make a general inspection, and the police authorities to arrest any person en gaged in a business at his carnival that was conducted in violation of state or city laws. It was stated by a member of the board of health following the meeting yesterday that some definite action would be taken today but he jwas un able to even intimate wliat this ac tion will be. It is the general opin ion, however, that it will be adverse to the carnival interests. &aDdinews! attached to this theory. "PRETTY BUTTERFLY" PLEASES Show at Academy Last Night Full of Snappy Humor. "Pretty Butterfly," presented at the Academy last night by the Marcus Musical Comedy company, proved to be from the shipbuilders and from the city in general. m OFFICERS COULDN'T FIND STILL GODWIN REPORTED Made a Thorough Search Yesterday Morning But Without Result.
