THE LEAGUE.
Secretary Treasurer.

daY .eveDing, the attendance at the
League was not large, though something
like one hundred braved the element
and were in the hall at o'clock.
After the opening song the resolutlo .
which was the subject for discussion was
read, 1t was as follows: Resolved
That through political action lies the
true solution ofthe labor problem"
In the early part of the discussion q
motion was made and carried, that, mas
much as the inclement weather had kept
many away and as the subject was one
of great interest, when the meeting ad-
iourn the question 60 over for furthe-
discussion next Sunday evening, and
that speakers be allowed twenty minutes
each.
Comrades Graves, Young, Collins,
Shove and Buchanan discussed the reso-
luton, the first three named taking the
affirmative and the others this negative.
The discussion was quite interesting
but as the argument is to be continued
upon next Sunday evening, and as no
decision was to be given on last Sunday,
it is presumed that the stronger points
upon both sides were held in reserve for
the final tusse.
Tomorrow evenings meeting will be
particularly interesting, and everybody
is invited to be present, particularly
members of labor organizations, as the
question of political actioni is one Of vital
importance to all such.
Remember the time and place:
o'clock D. N. in Neef's hall, 24l Fifteenth
street.
