 The boodlers in the New York Central Labor Union have suffered defeat last Sunday. Their edict against the ever watchful labor press has been annulled by the progressive delegates, who were in their seats when the meeting was called to order Although the delegate of the Bakers Union No. 93 had the choice of chairman, that gentleman neglected to avail himself of his right, and thus it came that Ed. Conklin was named as chairman by the delegate of the Onward Labor Club.
 Delegate A. Jablino Sski then pro- tested against the adoption of the min utes saying that several resolutions, in- cluding that against the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE and Volkszeitung had been passed illegally. But the Chairman would not hear the protest, declaring that it was "out of order" There was nearly scrimmage, several delegates from the Building Trades bouncing upon Jablinowskl, among them the gIgantlc Sergeant-at-Arms, Edwards. Yet, order was restored and the following resolution was read:
 "The United Upholsterers' Union herewith emphatically protests against the action of this body on last Sunday in eXpelling the reporters of the YolkS- zeitung and WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE from ths floor, also against the illegal de cisions of the chairman of that meeting, who seems to be void of all decency, sense of justice and right. We further more protest against the motion rail roaded through, prohibiting brewers, walters and barkeepers to work on boy cotted goods, as long as organizations of scab halls and their members drink pool beer and smoke scab cigars. We there- fore move that these two motions be erased from the minutes"
 Chairman Conklin again ruled that the resolution was out of order, as only delegates and not any organization had a right to make any motions. Delegate Dampf raised the point of orGer that the Chairman had made an unparlia- mentary decision, but Mr Conklin did not entertain the point made by Mir. Dampf Instead of that he decided a point "well taken" made by delegate Mckim, holding that no protest could be raised except at the meeting where the motion had been made.
 Delegate DaCosta appealed from the decision, which was upheld by vote of 56 against 90.
 Upon request from the Housesmiths Delegates Culver, Gray and Ryan were pponted as committee to ask Chaun- t,y M. Depew to see that union men Nemployed at union wages at the new
 Is of the N. Y. Central R. R. between
 md 67th streets, North River. Then the following resolution was read from the Walters Union: To the Central Labor Union: The following resolutions were adopt ed at our regular meeting: "Whereas, The c. L. U. adopted esoIution on June 8, 1890, preventing s1e representatives of the Netc York Fo'kszeituug and the WoRKMEN's ADvO- sATE from attending its sessions; Whereas, We know that both of those papers have. regardless of the enmity they incurred, always protected the best | interests of Organized Labor, and have | endeavored to further the prestige of l the c. L. U. by exposing all such per sons who have sneaked into labor organ izatons under false colors; and Whereas, We know that the leaders l of the English 5peaking unions fear the | good work that is being accomplished l by the WoRKMES's ADVOCATE among 1 their members and which tends to cur tail their action: and Whereas, The Chairman of the said | meeting permitted persons representing 1 organizations which had been declared 1
