o~rganisstion) for = short time only.
The News had been run in this manner for
. couple Of months or 20. when the Leader
once was removed to another building. Then
another violation Of our laws occurred; In
such Q name how ever, that the general
public could not understand 1t without an
explanation. The printer on the News was
put on the press work for both papers, the
work on the Leader taking about half his
time. The apprentice was still retained on
the News. the manager claiming that he was
entitled to him on account Of employing .
permanent printer on the paper. We claim
that it was . misrepresentation. whereby less
than the established rates were paid, the per.
msnent printer only having time to work on
the New two or three hours . day. Then the
printer on the News took offense at some
thing and threw up his situation, whereupon
the News ran along for three or four Gays
without any printer. when the Unions atten-
ton was called to ii A committee Of one In
terviewed the manager in regard to what he
was going to do. He informed the COMMITTEES
that he wanted to do what was right, but that
he could not afford to employ . man on the
News. The matter was laid before the Union.
The Union, knowing that the News did not
own material enough to publish its own
paper; and moving, also, that . wrong was
existing, immediately adopted the following
preamble and resolutions in regard to it,
which lie the cheapest way it could possibly be
run according to our laws
whereas, The Ruby Hill Mining News has
been granted great and unusual privileges by
this Union, and to some extent these privileges
have been abused and disregarded, and believ-
ing that the manner in which said paper is
now being published Is contrary to the rules
and regulations Of typographical Unions,
therefore be It
Resolved, That from and after Monday,
Nov. %. 1883. no matter whatever shall be
printed in 50 Ruby Hill Mining News that
has been set up for and printed In the Eureka
Evening Leader. and vice versa, unless II shall
be paid for twice-such pay going to the men
employed on "case" in the Eureka Evening
Leader ofice.
Resolved, That the manner Of the publica-
ton of the Stafford Express by the Eureka
Sentinel is familiar to most of the members of
this Union, and such printing and publication
shall be taken az q basis by which the Ruby
Hill Mining News may be printed and pub
lished in the Eureka Evening Leader once,
and that such 10 the intent and purpose Of the
foregoing preamble and resolutions"

The manager did not see fit to abide by our
laws, and consequently RATED" the two pa
pers.
Subsequent to this. and while the whole
some laws enacted for orr protection con-
tinued to be set at defiance, and while, also, we
had satisfactory assurance that the manager of
the Leader and Mining News was deliberately
at work to undermine rs, we were still
nifty to treat us fairly. All of our efforts to
bring about q quiet and satisfactory adjust
ment to him and 20 US were either ignored or
repealed. At last, - . final resort, our Board
Of Directors held . meeting to consider the
manner in which our resolutions of Nov. rs,
1883. were being carried out. The result Of
this meeting is formally given In the an
nexed report:
EUREKA, New, Dec. 2, 1888.

trary to the spirit and intent Of the resolution
adopted at . special meeting Of the Union,
NoY. IS. 1883. and also In conflict with our
Constitution and Bylaws; therefore be 1t
Resolved. That unless the Eureka Evening
Leader complies fully with the resolutions be-

Being forced into the fight. we are In to stay.
We know our remedy and we shah not hesitate

steps to publish the two "rat'' papers every

East. We call upon all labor organizations 10
stand with rs; for where labor 10 degraded
and insulted In one department Of work. the
strength of labor generally is 30 much weak
ened and will be 30 much the less able to cope
with the common enemy in the grand contest
which threatens, to-day, more than any other
issue, the welfare and peace Of this entire
nation. We may lose, but II we do. We
shall 60 down with flying c~olors. and our very
defeat will be IN Encouragement 70 our
