every legitimate means, the men out on
strike on the N Y. C. & H. r. r., passed
a series of resolutions which after re-
citing various acts of injustice com
mitted by the above corporation, made
| the following recommendations
1st-That we recommend to the
people and especially to all members

| thizers to use their political franchise in
such manner as to have the ownership
of railroads placed in the hands of the
people, instead of corporations or in.

| pendent pc.4Vicai action this fall.
2d-To agree upon the issues on which
the coming campaign is to be conducted.
In accordance with the above com
mittee of five was appointed; they com
municated with the Commonwealth
party and secured the appointment of
a like committee. This joint committee
met and organized and the Sec'y was
requested to extend an invitation to the
following bodies: The Socialist Labor
party, Anti-Poverty Society, Central
Labor Union, the several Districts of
the K. of L., and the Central Labor Fed.
Grafton, requesting them to appoint
like committee to meet in conference
Monday evening, Sept. 90, at the Cooper
Union, Room 27.
The concensus of opinion was that
! some effort should be made to organize
the various elements, which, if allowed
to act separately, would only result in
defeat, when by leaving aside all feeling
| and making united and harmonious
effort something might be accomplished.
1t is therefore hoped that you will use
all honorable means in your power to
have your organization take part and
see if some basis of agreement cannot be
found upon which all can stand and act
in this campaign. The new ballot re
form law gives us an opportunity this
year which we should take advantage of
and in order to make the effort success
it only requires united, intelligent and
determined action.
Hoping your organization will be
represented, we remain yours respect
fully. On behalf of Joint Committee,
DR.. EDw. MCGLyNN, Chairman.
