that the mover would permit the resolutions to
come before the meeting as be did not believe the
Journeymen House Carpenters would disgrace
themselves by permitting the resolutions to be
ADOPTED Under the circumstances the resolutions
were allowed to come before the house. Mr.. Rus

location had said that be did not know the mean
