abolition; for the appointment
OF guardian of apprentices
In each county, whose duty Ii shall be
to hear all complaints CT apprentices,
and IL wrong is being done them to re-
port the facts TO the county Judge,
who will be given power to punish by
imprisonment; for legislation giving
county commissioners power to reSu-
late i'll ventilated and filthy workshops;
protesting against the presidents neg
lect to appoint commissioner OF labor
statistics under the law passed by
the last congress. This caused con-
siderable discussion, its opponents
holding it i'll advised, as congress
would probably recommend a man for
that position.
1t was finally passed. Resolutions
were adopted for the appointment of a
state mine inspector; for putting into
effect in all branches of labor the eight
hour law May L, 1886, throughout the
United States and Canada. This caused
an extended discussion. The oppo.
nents made the point that it was
too soon to pass such resolution, be-
cause majority of the laborers of the
country were not members of any
trades union and could not be relied
on to stand by government. When
put to u test the resolution went
through by heavy majority. Ad-
journed.
