and Messrs. Thomas Graham and


the use of the upstairs room at the
old Delmonico for the regular
meetings. The committee appointed
to draw up the constitution was
discharged. The relief committee
recommended that each case re-
quiring relief should be considered
on its merits. The treasurer reported
that eighteen members had signed
the new roll. The Secretary rcpor.
ted chat SO had signed the original
roll, which Mr.. Carson had not
handle d to him, according to promise,
before he left the city.
On motion it was resolved that
500 copies Of the constitution and
bylaws be printed. Messrs.
Cavanagh, Crowley and Kohm were
appointed an employment committee
to cndeavor to assist men seeking
work and employers seeking labor.
The chairman thought that some
action should be taken with reference
to Mr.. Carson, who might represent
himself in America as prominent
member of the Union. On motion
it was resolved that the secretary be
instructed to communicate with the
editor of Truth in San Francisco,
and inform him of the organization
and proceedings of this Union, and
of the Infamous conduct of Mr..
Carson, in order that his actions
might be widely circulated.
Mr.. Dover said that he had been
nearly 20 years in the country and
was surprised at the orderly and
advanced state of affairs he saw. He
urged them to proceed with their
work and their numbers would in
crease and he knew of 20 who would
join at once when he told them of
the harmony and success of this
meeting.
Mr.. Crowley said that he disagreed
with the idea promulgated by Mr..
Kohm of making the Union benefit
society only, his idea was to enlarge
and expand the organization besides
extending a hand to those in need
through sickness.
Mr.. Kohm recommended that the
Union be secret society.
Mr.. Crowley said that secret
societies of working men were dis
trusted; he remembered the time
when an English parliament would
not recognize trade unions and he
had watched their development,
especially the eight hours movement
in Australia. Ii they enlisted pub
. lie sympathy, were based on good
principles and their requirements
were made public, then they would
be more sure of success. IF they
were a secret society, shut up in the
armory with $4,000 worth of arms
and ammunition, what would the
powers of the land think.
Mr.. Kohm reported two cases for
investigation. The first was that of
two boiler makers who had been
engaged in Sydney, by the chief
engineer of the Zealandia, to work
in the foundry here, and who, after
five days work, had been discharged.
The second case referred to a
paragraph in the advertiser, saying
that the wives of the German
= laborers, now in prison, were desti-
tute. Messrs. Dainelwitz, Crowley
and Cavanagh were appointed a
committee to enquire into these
cases.
Several remarks were made that
the German residents here did not
: assist their fellow countrymen, and
, that, in one instance in particular,
some German laborers had received
the cold shoulder when seeking work.
After some remarks from Mr..
{ Murray, the question of forming a
secret organization was postponed.
The Secretary stated that Mr..
Brown, reporter of the advertiser,
had called upon him and said that
that paper was not now unfavorable
to the Union and had asked for notes
OF the meeting.
