At the last meeting of the local executive committee of the Labor Sports Union it was decided to stage a combined mass meeting and athletic exhibition during the latter part of May.
This affair will have a two-fold purpose: to raise funds for the work of the Labor Sports Union, and to bring the members and friends of the various affiliated organizations together, and to familiarize them with the principles and role of the Labor Sports Union.
This athletic exhibition probably the first of its kind to be staged by a labor organization in this city, promises to be an entertaining and exciting affair. A wrestling match between two burly and highly skilled Finnish members has been arranged for. There will also be pyramid building, jumping events and gymnastic drills and stunts. The Nature Friends band will furnish the music.
With the large Finnish, Czech, Hungarian, German, and American sport groups backing this affair it is certain that it will turn out to be a big thing. The time and place and other details have not yet been decided. They will be announced later in the week.
