Labor Reform Convention last evening, and
the session has adjourned. 1t is understood
that tho session was by no means harmonious,
and that the Eastern section failed in its OBJ

industry, of no matter Of what description, are
inseparable and unit, and being the highest
interests IN the world, require the first consid;
GRAFTON Of Governments.
2. Resolved, That this conference, which
springs from the anti monopoly convention at
Harrisburg, requires in the labor movement no
sectional or selfish interest, but the aspiration
on the part of the producers to substitute ultra

considers that all industrial organizations are
patiently giving practical expression to that
aspiration.
j. Resolved, That we denounce all special
legislation, by which privileges and imfnuni-
ties are granted to corporations that are not
accorded to individuals, thus enabling the COR

and absolute repeal OF the Resumption Act Of
1875, and the repeal Of the National Banking
Law. ana thai the Government shall supply

interchangeable for registered bonds, drawing

ally, at the option Of the holder OF the bills.
