Evening Socials and Labor Meeting Report
A Thursday party at Mit Car re Bauer in the East End featured Prof. Green’s music and a lengthy social wind down with many attendees. Friday marked Henry Helmbright’s fiftieth birthday celebration at his Market and Sixth Streets residence with a large family gathering and supper. A major afternoon assembly at Trades Assembly Hall discussed organizing nail plate workers into the Amalgamated Association to enable collective bargaining for prices, with a committee appointed to approach unorganized crews including heaters, rollers, and helpers. President William Weibe led the session and outlined the plan to extend organization to other unorganized groups once the nail plate department is aligned.
