OF years, been antagonisttc to the Printers
Union. For the last few years. however, there
had been cessation of hosttlitles; But, five or
six weeks ago, Storey, becoming alarmed al the
general uprising OF worknemen throughout the
country, and particularly the printers, in regard
to better organization. issued an order to
the foreman Of his composing-room forbid
ding the employment OF Union men. He further

Chicago Typographical Uniun, or any other
Printers Union. and tha. have no sympathy or
further swear that while am employed as COM

shall remain out Of the Union. will form no con-
nection with any such organization. To all Of
which solennly swear. with 40 mental 7eseruG-
ton 1chaterer.
The oath was heard with significant Kisses.
Mr. Streeter, continuing, commented on the
test, particularly the stringent provision that
its subscribers should forswear allegiance to
the Printers Union, and that they should never
think about it, and never let their
HEARTS GO OUT IN SYMPATHY
to the members OF that Union. Was not this

without a protest from the workingmen and
worklngwomcn Of Chicago, tile time would
come In the near future when workingmen and
workingwomen would be unable to gather
themselves together, because they would be
bound down By their employers. CAppfause.l
A resolution of the Trades Council extending
their thanks to Congressman Murch, of Maine,
for bis introduction Of a bill for the creation Of
National Bureau Of Statistics, was read.
Mr.. Schi!ling moved to pass the Storey reso-
luton.
Mr.. 4. B. Ada!r, a member Of the Printers Un-
ion, did not think that anything he could say
would make this man appcar NOR. detestabfe
in the eyes of the audience than they alrcndy
held him to be. He then discussed the eight
hour question at some length, and pronounced
the movement great and beneficial one.
Returning to Mr. Storey, he said that that
gentleman was an old man, standing with one
foot on the earth and the other in perdition.

III. Adair also referred TO the California rsso-
lutons, and strongly advocated their adoption.

Storey had no regard for human rights. Ho had
violated all human rights, but he had not rio-
lated anything in reference to his position as an
employer. The speaker did not blame him in
this last regard. but he did blame him for Vto-
1ating the rights OF men, and was in favor OF the
adoption Of the resolutions. Before he sat
down, Morgan again set himself right on the
eight-hour question.

some debate Murch was so1emnly thanked.
i motion was made to adjourn, when John
McAuliffe rose and, In IN excited manner, de-
manded to know what was the meaning OF an
invitation sent to him to speak at tine meeting.
He proclaimed, amid great confusion, that the
frades-UDion men dared not let him speak,
but would throw open their meeting to every

It was clearly lost, but everybody seemed to
have had about enough OF talk for the day, and
