Mass Meeting of Carpenters Walt In VAL
for Seer etary r j. RfeGuire

P. J. Mcguire, secretary OF the Carpen
ters and Joiners OF the United States, and
OF the Federation of Labor, who was to
address the carpenters of this city in
Odd Fellows Hall, did not come here last
evening
He had promised the committee who
visited him In Philadelphia that he would
be present last evening and address
them, and also to take some steps to form
an organization here
He sent postal card to Ezra Lukens
saying that he would be present. aud If
possible, bring another speaker with
him, and he would arrive here few
minutes before o'clock.
Two of the men met three trains from
Philadelphia, but he was not on any of
them.
The men remained In the hall until a
telegram was sent to Mcguire, but after
waiting about thirty minutes, most Of
the men went to their homes.
Many of the men think that Mcguire
was paid to stay away, while others
think that he would not come here, as
this was the worst city in the country in
which to try to form q trade organiza-
tion. About $50 men had been present at
8 o'clock, but as soon as IL was ascer
tanned that Mcguire had not come on the
train, which was to bring him here, the
men began to leave the hall
The failure of Mr.. Mcguire to be pres.
ent will likely end all efforts to make an
organization of this trade in this city. A
meeting will be held In the Philips &
Kane building, at which all wood work
ers are invited to be present.
One of the strikers from Philadelphia
and-a man from Wilmington became in
volved In an alteration as to whether
the Wilmingtonian could go to work In
Philadelphia. The Philadelphia man
said that II the other should 20 to that
city and take the place Of one OF the
strikers, he would have his head knocked
on. The Wilmingtonian however de.
clared his intention Of going and said he
would take all risks.
