THE WRoklNc MEMS UNION.

The regular meeting took place
on Tuesday evening. One new
member was elected.
The executive committee reported
that the application, in the case of
the German laborers, for a man.
damus to allow an appeal, from the
police justice at Koloa, to be reheard
in the Supreme Court was dismissed.
Mr.. Ward appeared for the appellant,
Karl Klemme, and Mr.. Whiting for
the Attorney-General. His Honor
heard the case on its merits though
it might have been dismissed on
technical point. The appellant had
not complied with the forms neces-
sary to secure an appeal, through
ignorance of the law, and because
he had no legal tender coin to pay
the fine and costs of the appeal.
The committee recommended that
the work of the Union should be
chiefly educational in future and
that they should try to supplement
\ the present institutions by something
useful which was not yet provided.
A letter, from Mr.. E. IF. Ward,
was read, concerning the case of the
Germans.
The employment committee re-
ported that the labor market was in
deplorable condition, that there
were fifty applicants for one job.
This was substantiated by Mr.. Wise
man. That ten men from Koloa had
tried to obtain work but seven or
eight had returned.
Mr.. Ward asked if the committee
of German residents had paid for the
expenses of the women while in
charge of the Union and why the
committee had not reported.
The Committee were instructed to
report at the next meeting, especially
as to the recoupment.
Special votes of thanks were
passed to Mr.. Gartenberg for the
use of his hall on two evenings; to
Messrs. Hebbard and Ashley and
Messrs. S. M. Carter & Co., for
their free carriage of the baggage of
the German women; and to Mrs.
Jarret for her donation of lamp
and table.
1t was agreed to send copies of
the resolutions to the German syndi-
cate.
1t was decided, in consequence of
the small attendance, owing to the
inclemency of the weather, to post
pone the nomination of officers till
Goth Inst, when they would be
elected, due notice to be given and
the candidates to be elected by
ballot.
Mr.. Crowley hoped to make the
Union of an educational character,
he would like to see the walls hung
with diagrams, and desks round the
rooms during some evenings and, on
others, to have interesting discus
sions ON entertaining topics. Work
ing men were competent to impart
instruction beneficial to artisans and
would do so. He recommended men
to join the free drawing class at the
Y. M. C. A. He referred to the
Trades Union in Melbourne, which
now had splendid building and
taught young men who were credit
to the institution.
Mr.. Cayenagh desired to have
classes and thought they had as
much ability as the Y. NJ. G. A.
Mr.. Kohm Was hard to beat in draw.
ing, and, if Mr.. Sherman taught
native, he would be on the same
footing as the chief justice.
Mr.. Ward thought that Hawaiian
and figuring were most necessary,
the former so as to get on in this
country, and the latter to assist
them in getting into the Government
when they would be able to under.
stand figures pro and con.
Mr.. Marchand recommended the
appointment of doctor to examine
members before their admission to
see if they had tongues. 1t was moi
fair for few to do all the talking.
Mr.. Crowley hoped that, at the
next meeting they would elect al
entirely fresh set OF men. They had
raised the number from five to its
present strength, but many causes
had himdered their growth, chiefly
the German business which they had
never contemplated. He then re-
ferred to his being called an Austria
lian agitator by the aturdoy Press,
He had written to the proprietor and
editor, but had received no reply.
He had never been an agitator but
had never hesitated to put his hand
to what he believed to be good and
true. He would always stand to his
post and act his part as man.
The meeting adjourned to 26th
