Northern Yards under the present onesous and
oppressive regulations Of these Yards, both as to
decrease Of pay and increase Of the hours Of labor
1.-THE latter only, CT which has as vet affected the
employees Of the Washington Yard) deem Il
highly imprudent to follow In their steps and
carry their opposition to a striker Therefore,
RsSolred, That when we consider the difficulty
Of the times, our inability by such hasty and i'm
prudent steps to achieve the object which we de-
sire, and that we have not as yet made an appeal
to the proper authorities for mitigation Of the
evils Of which we so justly complain we consider
1t more prudent and wise to first attempt an anne
Iteration by such appeals, and therefore suggest
that joint committee Of ssven az be appointed
TO petition Congress that the 9Th section OF bill
entitled " "A bin to increase the efficiency Of the
army and navy" be repealed.
The preamble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted, and committee was appointed In &C
