to the ordinary running expenses, were

They know that the few hundred or thousand dollars that are given by labor organiza, tions will not go far to sustain their locked out employees, and they are wait ing like sharks for their victims to fall at their mercy How different it would be, how quickly those heartless employ CTS would surrender, if they saw every worklngman pledging himself to pay weekly certain sum so long as the lock out would last! move that sub scription lists for weekly contributions be immediately opened in every shop under the control of the unions repre- sented in thls Central Labor Fedora. tion."
 The motion was immediately seconded by every delegate and adopted unanim- ously.
 The action of the Eight Hour Confer ence of the $. L. P. concerning the aid to be given to the locked out laborers of Hamburg, Germany, by circulating sub- scrlptlon lists, was endorsed.
 Aug. Delabar then remarked that it would be good to arrange parade on Labor Day, and an eight-hour mass meeting in the evening. It was decided to act together with the Eight Hour Conferen?e, and committee of eight was elected composed as follows: Della bar, Stotfers, Kurzenknabe, Jablinowski. Gabler, Waldinger, Boehm and Buck sath.
 The delegate of the Bartenders report ed that Mr. Baertz, 166 Allen street, is a strict union hall.
 The delegates then proceeded to the election of officers. Ernest Bohm was elected Corresponding Secretary. Aug Waldinger, Financial Secretary H. M. Stotfers, Treasurer Hecker, Kurzen- knabe and Delabar, Trustees. John Lehr, Sergeant-at Arms.
 The election of a Record ng Secretary was postponed to the next meeting.
 Bucksath, Sass, Lorenz, Thimme and Flierl were elected as Credential Con- mittee. The election of further com mittees was postponed for one week.
 Under the head of thew business" it was decided that the Central Labor Federation should issue the lists for the cloakmakers themselves and deliver the collected money to the cloakmakers.
 Cigarmakers' Union No. 90 reported that 1000 members were on strike; 42 strikes were won and none lost; 600 members were gained and the wages will be raised from one to two dollars during the next month.

WTHnRAW FROM THE c. L. U.

Inv gate Your MisIeaders-They Are
 fficient. Partisan and Corrupt-They
 cad You to the Grave in Misery and
 Slavery.
 The following is the text of the appeal issued by the Central Labor Federation to the organizations that are still repre- sented in the Central Labor Union.
 NEW YORK, July 3. 1890.
 FELLOW WoRKINGMEN: -- Compelled by self-respect to withdraw from the Central Labor Union, we appeal directly to you.
 For it is of the highest importance that you should know the plain truth, in order that you may forthwith take steps to preserve the integrity and unity of Organized Labor.
 We are all wage-workers, and no schemer who in some way has obtained a position of prominence and responsi- bilty in our councils should be permit ted to disgrace or divide us.
 Any man who, trusted as delegate by his organization, proves a stumbling block by his inefflciency or dishonesty, should be promptly removed and con- signed to obscurity.
 For years there have been men in the Central Labor Union, who, instead of attending exclusively and conscienci- ously to the interests of Labor, have notoriously neglected or betrayed those interests and unscrupulously acted as the direct or indirect agents of the poodle political parties.
 Prominent among men of this charac- ter stands James P. Archibald, who, from the very seat of Recording Secre- tary which he still occupies, openly boasted of having received $6O for his services to the Democratic party.
 And instead of expelling him with contempt, your delegates not only sustained him but expelled the reporters of the only labor papers of this city be- cause these papers contended that such a man was not fit representative of Labor.
 This they did, as they said, "to spite the Socialists" thus pandering and ap pealing to the worst prejudices that were ever fostered by the enemies of | Labor.
 And they call themselves the "conser vative leaders" of the Labor movement Such men conserve nothing but evil and lead you to the grave in misery anC slavery.
 Under their control the Central Labo Union has taken no steps to organiz'

Proceedings of the National Executive
 Committee.

The Board met on July 6. Comrade Kuhn was in the chair. All the mem- bers were present, except G. Schwep- pendick, who was seriously ill. Com. Pattberg acted as Recording Secretary.
 Nat. Secretary B. Gretsch reported that he had called meeting of the Executive Committee on Tuesday last in New York upon request of the New York Central Committee. All the mem- bers of the Board were of the opinion that such an action was uncalled for and regretted that they could not respond to the wishes of the Eight-Hour Con- mittee concerning the assistance which it was proposed to give the locked-out workingmen of Hamburg. A committee of three, composed of Scbaefer, Patt- berg and Forker was elected to explain the position of the Executive Committee in statement.
 A correspondence was received from Cleveland, where new American Sec. ton is about to be organized. The same is expected in Greylock, Mass
 Section St. Paul will hold festival on the 18th of July for the benefit of the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE.
 Section Derthick, O., sent $3.00 and Section Albany $500 to assist the party press.
 Section Buffalo complained of incor- rectness in the books of the former Executive Committee regarding their accounts, but after close investigation of the books, the bills in question were | found to be correct.

new unions or to strengthen those al- l ready in existence.
 Its valuable time was wasted in perso. nal wranglings, chicanery and poodle politics.
 The grievances of Newspaper Printers Union No. against the World in a plain case of injustice and tyranny were farci- cally referred from one committee to another and finally received no consi- iteration whatever.
 The boycotts officially levied against employers of non.union labor-such as the pool beer breweries, the scab bread bakeries, the halls where scab segars and scab beer are sold, and where non union walters are employed-were utterly disregarded and openly violated.
 The elght-hour movement was treated with the utmost contempt. In the first place, mass meeting called by the Central Labor Union, owing to the most obvious indifference and misman- agement of those who had charge of it, proved a scandalous failure. Then se- veral members of a committee appointed to assist the Eight Hour Conference in arranging demonstration on May 1, never attended either the meetings of the conference or the demonstration.
 The great international movement in favor of establishing Labor Day throughout the world was similarly ignored.
 Now, fellow workers, we expect from you that you will act the part of free and intelligent men, opposed to bossism and corruption in the ranks of organ ized labor.
 We expect from you that you will immediately, in your respective organ izations, consider these grievances and redress them by withdrawing from the c. l.. U.
 We shall expect you also, in the fu- ture, to exercise the utmost vigilance, without which our common interests must always be in jeopardy. Investi. gate your own leaders. Never allow a delegate to vote upon important matters without or against your instructions. Insist that they shall report to you fully and truthfully. Hold them at all times to a strict account.
 Above all things exact from them that they shall take no part in politics, except by order of their organization when the latter will deem it right and proper to take part as a body in bona, fde politi. cal movement of labor, having in view the emancipation of the wage-working class.
 On these conditions alone will you be well served On these conditions alone can labor be united, strong and progress sive.
 In conclusion, let us assure you that our most earnest wish is for harmony and co operation. But, as the c. l.. IT., once powerful and respected body, is now sunk hell deep in corruption and infamy, we do not believe that it can long survive it's disgrace. We therefore invite you to send delegates to the Central Labor Federation as soon as you will have withdrawn your present dele gates from the Central Labor Union.

 Weavers of Basic Call an Inter-
 national Congress.
 The following call for an international textile labor congress has been issued by the Weavers of Basic, Switzerland, to all the Societies, Fraternities, Unions and Leagues of the textile and kindred industries, such as weavers, dyers, spin- ners, embroiderers. &c.:
 DEAR CoLLEAGUEs:-All trades of the world suffer under the pressure of capital. But if the workingmen are desirous to ameliorate their lot then a strong organization must be placed in opposition to this mighty capitalistic power. As the power of capital is an international one so also must be our organization. Remember the well ltried war-cry:-"Woorkingmen of all coun. tries unite" Only with closed ranks victory is possible. We therefore ask you to discuss thoroughly this proposal, and let Us know your decision so as to enable us to act.
 Our American colleagues lave already ucNhuCu " ocbu o itp tpiOocutotifC to tic Congress if it meets. It is therefore for our friends on tIis side of the ocean to say if our recent exertions in this direc- ton are to be crowned with success or not. We trust, however, that the workers of the Old World will not re- main behind those of the New World. Prove by acceding to our proposition that you have understood our position and are decided to take a part in the great struggle for the improvement of our existence.
 We include in this invitation those workers living in places where as yet no organization has existed, request ing them to name man who has their confidence, to represent them. As soon as we are in receipt of those addresses we will communicate with our friends and let them know our further inten- | tions.

 Whereas, The working people of this city are and have long been anxious for independent political action, through which alone they can secure an honest administration of public affairs, and economic improvements of a permanent character;
 Whereas, The antagonisms and preju- dices which have heretofore divided them into rival organizations in the eco- homie field, and arrayed them against each other at the polls, are still operat- ing in such a manner as to prevent the mass from unanimously responding to the call of any faction for the purpose of political independence and co-opera tlon;
 Whereas, The Nationalist Clubs, as the latest product of popular aspirations, and from the nature of their member ship, which includes some of the most deservedly respected men in the liberal professions and in the various organiza- tions of labor, constitute at this time body sufficiently free from the aforesaid deplorable antagonisms to justify the hope that an appeal from them may be responded to by all; and,
 Whereas, The cooperation of all work CTS, citizens of this country, regardless of nativity and language, is not only desirable but imperatively demanded by economic and political conditions; there fore, be it
 Resolved, That we request the Organi zation of Nationalists of this city to issue g. call for convention, to be hold in this city on the 10th of July, 1890, to devise means whereby perfect co ope ration of all workers and good citizens, as aforesaid, may be effected, regardless of nativity and language;
 Resolued, That the call as drafted be first submitted to this body for its ap- proval before being sent to the organiza- tjons for their action;
 Resolued, That these resolutions, signed by the secretary and all the members of this Conference, be forwarded to the Central Organization of Nationalists of this city, and be printed and sent out as part of the call.
