DkTkOiT, MAeu.S may IL LOW
At the Philadelphia session Of the NstiOaal
Labor Union, it was decided that the next SEE
sion should be held in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Due notice is hereby given, that the fourth
annual session of the National Labor Unlon
will be held in the city Of Cincinnati, State Of
Ohio, on the third Monday, being the 18th gay
Of August, 1870, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon.
All Trades Unions, all Cooperative Asso6iA'
lions, all Labor Organizations Of every bsnd
win be entitled to representation
for we believe, that all departments of inAns'
try should have a common cause and interest
in all our efforts to elevate and improve the
condition Of the toiling masses-We, therefore,
invite to our ranks, al who BY physical o. in.
telleetual labor, contribute to the substantial
wealth Of the nation, be they male or female,
white or black, for this is a struggle for hbArty
and justice We have waited patiently for
promised reforms, but waited in vain I'VE,
therefore, have no hope in all party politicians,
We must think and act for ourselves, and pat .
stop to this thieying process of Wholesale
grants Of our public lands to monopolists and
souless corporations, and this system Of GLASS
legislation Of robbing the people Of hundreds
Of millions Of dollars annually IN building Up .
mOnied aristocracv. ard crushing labor to the
dust
Labor organizations are eDtitled TO REPRE-
sentation as prescribed IN the constitution; rs
follows:
SECTION 2-Every International or national
organization, shall be entitled TO three reNre-
sentaiives State organizations to two trades
unions and all other labor organizations to; one
representative in the National Labor Union I;
Provided, that representatives shall derive sheir
election from the organisation they claiHA to
represent Each international OsganiEstiOn
represented, is required to pay the sum of $lb
and eech National organization, 80; each 10.
cal union or labor organization Of any Find,
represented by delegate, il required 20 pay
one cent upon each member belonging TO such
Organi zation.
The coming Convention will be a very i'm
portsnt event in connection with this kreai
movement Of labor reform, therefore, 1 snakC
an urgent appeal to every labor organization Il
send a delC gate, that We may counsel togetheI
for the good and welfare Of our common hOun
