The Committee on claims and griev-
ances, submitted the following report.
CALEDoHIA HALL, BosToN, MASS.
September s. 1871.
To the Officers and Members OF the Inter
national Union:
| CONTAMINATION Committee on claims
and grievances would report that they
have carefully examined the grievances
presented by the different Local Unions,
would respectfully submit this report for
your consideration:
4. In the case of Cleveland (Ohio) Union
A No. IL, against Lafayette Ind. Union No.
90, we find that the Lafayette Union being
duly notified of the claim of Cleveland
Union gave H. Ballet q clear card. We
therefore hold the Lafayette Union respOn-
sible for the five dollars, (f5) and it
should be paid over to the Cleveland
Union.
2. In the case of Grand Rapids Union
No 12l against Elias Goldberg, it ap-
pears that the said Goldberg was working
under the Jurisdiction of Union No. l2I
and he failed to pay the two dollars per
week assessment to assist in sending men
out of town when the Union was on q
strike. We therefore recommend that the
Grand Rapids Union be sustained.
8. In the case of New York Union, No.
Is oersus Westfield Union, No. %, it ap-
pears that John Irwin made application to
Join the Westfeld Union, the Westfeld
Union having duly circulated him, but
New York Union failed to send in their
charges in the proper time. We therefore
recommend that the Westield Union be
sustained.
4. In the case of Dayton (Ohio) Union,
No. IS, against the Cincinnati Union No. 4,
ii appears that Dayton Union No. IS loaned
Il
dollars. Union No. 4 granted clear card
to the said Valentine Hoanhouser. We
recommend that the Dayton Union re-
ceive the balance $2.5O from Cincinnati
Union.
5. In the case of Baltimore Union No /
persus Washington Union No. 100, we re-
commend that the Washington Union pay
the amount of &l.85 due Baltimore Union,
and also recommend that Washington
Union be censured for violating the law in
regard to the depositing the ten dollars
$1,000 as prescribed in Art. x Sec. g.
6. In the case OF Dillchunt versus Balti-
more Union No. we recommend that his
case be referred TO the next Executive
Board on account Of their not being any
evidence from Washington Union.
PROTKsTKD.
z. In the case a. Dayton Union No. So
versus Lafayette Union No. 30, would
recommend that the Chicago Convention
be sustainded In regard TO the VIM. Miller
case Of Dayton Union versus Lafayette
Union.
8. In the case of John Kenning against
