 McPherson declared that the pool beer boycott could not be enforced, as most union men preferred that beer to union beer.
 A motion from Delegate McAdams to table the motion was declared out of order by Chairman Conklin.
 Delegate Lloyd then made speech, stating that it was the fault of the "So- cialists' if the pool beer boycott was not carried out; he reminded the delegates of the boycott against Peter Doelger, which had been won triumphantly by the c. L. U. He also assured the Brew CTS and Walters that the Building Trades were ready to go on strike for them whenever that should be necessary.
 Delegate Archibald also made a long speech, reciting the history of the pool beer boycott, and trying to make it ap- pear that the resolution ordering strike of the Brewers and Walters had been adopted in all sincerity.
 Delegate Kurzenknabe replied that the c. l.. U. had been load of lead upon the Brewers Union in its fight against the bosses pool; but the Union would, nevertheless, fight until victory was won.
 A motion to lay over the resolution in regard to the strike of the Brewers and Walters was then adopted by a vote of A against 43

 Resotued, That the labor press be again allowed into the sessions of the Central Labor Union and be it further
 ReSOlUed To forward copy of the above resolutions to the Central Labor Union on Sunday, June 15, for action thereon.
 Delegate Doyle of the Progressive Club of Cigarmakers stated that the resolution had been adopted unani- mouslv by the Miscellaneous Section, and that it was shame that the labor press had been insulted.
 Delegate Sullivan of the Slate and Metal Roofers raised the point that the Sections had no right to make motions, and, again, Conklin decided the point "well taken"
 An appeal was taken and the decision was reversed by vote of A against 40
 In the course of the discussion dele gate OConnell, of the Cigarmakers' Progressive Assembly, said that "a con- spiracy had been entered into by the Volkszeitung, Timothy Putnam Quinn and Tammany Hall to destroy the infu- ence of James P. Archibald and other members of the Central Labor Union. and to prevent the workingmen of New York from taking independent political action" The letter written by Mckenna, he said, had been dictated by Quinn, | who had been seen in conference with the editor of the FolkSzeit,ng on the previous Sunday.
