The San AntaniO Labor Union,

The supporters of this movement met on
Saturday evening at Scholz Hall.
The president (Mr. J. w. Cartwright, hav-
ing called the meeting to order, asked to be
excused attendance; and this being agreed
to, and as Vice President Beckmann was
absent Mr.. McAllister was by vote appointed
chairman for the evening.
Mr.. McAllister, having thanked the meeting
for the honor, called upon the secretary, C..
de Were, to read the reports of the treasurer
and of the committees on meetings. The
former was adopted, but consideration of the
latter was deferred until later on.
The secretary, on behalf of the amended
committee on constitution and bylaws, report
ed that the committee had met at Alderman
Copeland's Office. on the previous evening,
there being present Mr.. West (chairman),
Messrs. Heiligman, Cummings, Meunch,
Copeland, Ryder-Taylor, and c. de Were
(secretary); absent, Vice President Bcckmann
and McAllister. He proposed to read what
had been done by the first committee and
then the alterations effected by the amended
committee, and, as instructed, to ask for more
time for consideration. Mr.. Heillgman OBJ
jected to the reading of the work of the
original committee; as it had not been pre-
viously before the union, the reading was
neither pertinent nor useful. But ultimately
the secretary's proposal was adopted.
The constitution as proposed was formally
read and suggestions made upon it, and ulti-
mately it was referred back to the committee
for further consideration, as requested, with
instructions that further report be made at
the next meeting.
Vice-President Beckmann having by this
time arrived Mr.. McAllister vacated the chair
in his favor.
A vote of thanks was passed to the COM
mittee on constitution and bylaws, which was
suitably acknowledged by Mr.. West.
The secretary made an announcement that
Mr.. Copeland, now thoroughly understanding
the object of the union, felt that he had no
real right to become a member of it, and he
therefore withdrew. Mr.. Heiligmann thought
that Mr.. Copeland should have attended per-
sonally and explained his altered views, or
have written in such terms, but the resignation
was accepted, and Mr.. F. Locker appointed
10 fill his place on the constitution and bylaw
committee.
The meeting then proceeded to the further
consideration of the report of the meeting S
committee, which showed the following quo
tations for the hire of the city halls for four
meetings each month Strive, S.. 50; Mey-
er's, 81; Scholz, 5; Nights Mission Garden,

selection of hall, the numbers were for
Strives hall, 10; Niggli's Mission Garden
hall, q; Scholz's hall, 3; Meyers hall, I.

of meeting, and Monday night as the night on
which the usual meetings were to be held.
The vice president, in accordance with the
vote of the meeting, named Monday, the 9th
of February, as the date for the next meeting
to be held at Strives hall.
