met last evening at 430 Sth street northwest Mr.
A NJ kenaday presiding, and S. E. Boyce secre-
| tary.
Mr.. Gabriel Edmonston, OF the National Broth
erhood of Carpenters, stated that he had submit
Ted to the Congress OF national and international
trade unions, recently held In Cleveland, Ohio a
1ull statement Of the proceedings of the Washing
ton Federation In connection with the resolution
or the Senate last June calling for an investiga-
tion OF the existing relations between capital and
labor, and explained in detail the course pursued
which met with hearty approval. Mr.. Edmonston
was selected as member of the standing commit
tee on legislation OF that body, and on the organi-
cation thereof he was elected vice president and
In that capacity he advised the local organization
to continue in the same direction heretofore pur-
sued In the good work they had naugurated. He
thought the expense attending a general conven-
ton OF congressional district representatives
would deter many organizations from sending
delegates to Washington, but he Thought the ut
most confidence prevailed everywhere In the in
t2grty and zeal OF the Washington Federation
VINO may regard themselves as fully authorized to
initlni I'm the position they assumed ut the time of
the passage OF the Senate resolution.
Mi. A. NJ. Kenaday, president OF the Federation,
stated that the Senate committee on education
and labor, through their clerk, Mr.. /. KimbalI jr
had recently called on him the names or on
ctr5 and prominent labor advocates throughout
The country known to the president personally or
by name, and that he had partially complied with
their polite request by sending up three hundred
or our hundred names in the several states of the
Union, ana that he still holds in reserve perhaps
2OGO more representative labor reformers IL they
should be needed. Dir. *. thought the committee
would, by direct correspondence with these par
teS elicit variety OF views on the different Sub
JectS OF inquiry referred to the Senate committee
Mnicn WOULD oe uSciui IN making up their reports,
but it would be proper and in accordance with the
plan adopted to have a select committee or board
OF directors representing the labor cause to supply
the committee with any further data they NAV
wish during the progress or their Investigation.

advisory committee OF the Federation and all dele
gates OF labor organizations in the city would be
