Resolved That Ia our resolution tolrrating
filler breaking, that was passed by vote Of
IA t. L. Is enough o. condemn the whole pro
ceeding, both III and out Of the State u New
York. for there is not a clty or town IN or out
Of the nited States, where 1t exists, but that
the trade Is IN the most deplorAble and de
graded condition
And again, fellow craftsmen We call your
attention to Art / Sec. ?
The so-called State Union allows local
unions to make laws to govern themselves
nU matter whether it conflicts with its neigh
Dor OF not and the State Union supports it.
And again, Art. 5, See. ?, pledges its OH
ce's and members to support the state mon,
and Inter- atlonal Constitution, where
no such constitution can exist as each
local union governs itself and IL IN direct vio-
| latiOn Of the Int. Constitution that We now
acknowledge only To convene and pass such
resolutions and make such laws as has been
made by the so-called Cigar Makers Union Of
the state Of New York.
The Union IN England has done away with
| filler breakers for number Of years. The
| Belgium cigar makers had protraeted strike
| two years ago against the same principle, and
at present the men IN Holland are making a
stand against the same, indirectly, and ask
ing America for aid, and Germany to-day is
ruined by the system.
And, fellow craftsmen. shall we, by &C
knoWledging such laws as the State Union
has Just passed, inaugurate a system Of ruin
alton to ourselves as Europe is now struggling
to throw of We shall emphatically say
mo-
III unions ~ syinpathy with US will please
take prominent action III the matter and cor
respond with Union No. . without delay.

INDIANAPoLIs, July S.-At n regular meet
ing held July l, the books were closed for the
space Of six months; cause-nO money
bursements exceed receipts, consequently we
can't loan any more We would inform the
travelling portion of our craft that there are
no Jobs, and trouble ahead, and those stop
ping here will do 50 At their own risk And
those indulging in the idle hope Of having q
collection taken up for their benefit Will have
the consolation to know that there are fifteen
railroads leading from this city, and they can
have free pass to walk over any OF thoss
tracks on condition that they get Of when the
tram comes. Neighboring Unions viii Obhge
this Union by keeping trAmps informed OF the
fact that no Jobs money are to be obtained
at this place. Z. BEHR, Cor Sec
