HUSBAND’S UNION IS
HAVING HKCK OF A TIME
A hurried meeting of Husband's
Union, No., 13, formed at Seward
early yesterday morning, was called
by the chairman of the probe commit
tee at midnight. Trouble has started,
all due to the fact that ten of the ori
ginal 13 members have protested
against the temporary officers, Dr.
Romig, chairman, and F. B. Wood,
secretary and financial go-get-em. The.
ten members, after careful thinking,,
believed the doctor and undertaker .
were in a combine, to work together,
in case of accidents at riots which !
might follow when No., 13 is fully go
ing and becomes demonstrative. The
chief spokesman at the sudden meet- i
ing talked right ont in church. The
other nine patted him on the back and i
the conservation was so fast that Dr.
Romig and his alleged co-conspirator
had nothing to say. The matter was i
referred to a committee consisting of.
three men- it is no matter who
they are, for their wives don’t know
yet they belong to the union and there
is no use having a spilling time until
No 13 is fully armed, etc. Seven more |
applications for membership were re
ceived and they were’ handed to the
probe committee now considering 23
names. Fifteen minutes were spent by
the members present in dodging artic
les, supposed to he thrown by irate
wives. These articles were thrown by
an air device which has been pntentet
by a newly-wed at LaTouche and
brought to Seward on a seine boat.i
Cal. Brosius was nosing around the
sawmill last night, where the meeting
was held, but a mysterious phrase
whispered in his ear, caused him to
heat it quickly towards Resurrection
bay and his bunk. The chairman of
the probe committee will call the next1
when the matter of new members and
temporary officers will he reported
upon.
Late this afternoon Dr. Romig and
Mr. Wood handed a sealed communi
cation to the Editor of the Gateway. |
This communication purports to bo u
general denial of the charges made
and a plea to submit their case to ar
bitration or they will get an injunc
tion against using their names in the
manner done last night.
Oh yes, at the meeting last night,
the Editor was told point blank that
he could not join the union, if ho even
so desired, as he must ho a neutral
and the accredited go-between agent
in case of disorders in certain families.
