THE LABOR UNION CLUE of the sixth dis
triet met last night at John Wesley Church, on
Connecticut avenue, between l. and NJ streets;
NJ. +. Grant in the chair, and W. III. Stewart
secretary. MIR. l.. Bailey, from the committee
appointed at previous meeting to go before the
Board of Public Works in the interest of the
club, reported that the committee were received
IN very cordial manner by Vice President
Shepherd, who, after hearing what the commit
tee had TO say, informed them that the Board of
Public Works would give them contract pro-
viced that they could agree upon and select two
or three good and responsible men with whom
contract could be made. This was necessary
as formal papers had to be made and executed
which could not be done with a club or associa-
ton. Mir. Shepherd also told them that the
board had liked upon a standard price-list for
work and materials, ana they would have
more than they are now making at the pres
ent mode OF working under the Contractors
Mr.. Shepherd told them further that the board
had fully tested the days work system and II
was failure; that by IL the improvements cost
the district much more, which was very unsatis-
factory to the taxpayers, and 1t could not be
adopted generally, but the board would make
some arrangements by which the old men who
are unable to work with the pick and shovel can
work at something suitable for them, such as
cleaning the cutters, sc. He had also said that
he was opposed to persons from other cities
our own citizens. The committee had left Mr..
Shepherd with feelings of great pleasure at the
kind manner he had received them. On motion,
the report was received and a vote OF thanks
returned to the committee and to Mr.. Shepherd.
Several expressed their gratitude that Mr. Shep-
herd had determined that the old iahorine men
should DC remembered. After other business
bad been transacted, an election CT three suit
able persons was had TO represent their interests
before the Board OF Public Works.
