Milwaukee Labor Temple Proposal

FROM the American Industries we learn that the Federated Trades Council of Milwaukee, as representatives of the wage-workers of the city, has adopted a resolution demanding that the city set aside a sufficient sum to buy real estate for, and to build, a centrally-located temple, to be the property of organized labor and to supply the unions "with high-ceilinged, well-ventilated, and well-lighted meeting rooms and business offices, and to include also a large assembly hall, to be used for mass meetings of citizens as well as for union purposes." Until such a structure can be built and furnished, the city is asked to grant the use of the Common Council Chamber and the hall of the school committee in the city building to the unions for their meetings on stated evenings of each month.
