ers yesterday and presented letter, request
ing permission to use one of the portcos of the
City Hall for the purpose of mass-mccting
next Friday evening, when the eght.hour law,
contract system, and other matters would be
discussed. The application was referred to
Major Morgan, who required that it be jp-
dorsed by some responsible parties. Mr.. Cohen
took the paper, and not long after returned
with the signatures of Messrs. T. j. Durant, A.
c. Richards, A. r. Shepherd, J. ii. Crane,
Francis Profit, aud George j. johnson upon it,
and it was returned to the Commissioners.
They answered that they did not have any
control over tho City Hall, aud could not give
the permission MS asked. He was further in
formed that the order to prevent holding meet.
ings in the streets or upon reservations is still
in force. If Mr.. Cohen wants to hold II meet
ing it can be done in n hall or upon unoccu.
pied private lots, with the owners permission.
