LABOR UNION RESOLUTIONS
Respecting the Fresport Strike and
Some o:her Matters.

At meeting of the Central Labor Union
last evening, preamble and resolution was
adopted that
Whereas-The stumbling block In the path OF
Portland's prosperity is PortlaEd's capital ITSELF
through its lack of patronizing It's home industry
product Of seldom labor OF other cities and states
in competition with present industry
Resolved, That we hold our preference in pat
ronizing all merchandise that bears the official
stamp or label OF a bona hde labor organization
which Is to us sufficient guarantee tnat said
merchandise Is the product OF honest labor and
capital.
The following was also adopted:
PORTLAND, January 6, 1890.
whereas, Ii appeared in the Portland and Bos-
ton papers, statement from ii. III. Shaw, to tie
ence would join labor union, and those thatwere
members were compelled to join by force. and
Is to our knowledge a statement which can only
emanate from an imaginary and selfish mind,
Resolged, That the Portland Central Labor
Union pla es itself before the public, not as the
disturbers of law and order, but as peaceful cti-
zens, looking for The future mental and physical
advancement OF the working classes generally by
reducton in WAGES az eanerierp o Ses aJdst

their labor unions can they be given the means

snop ana factory In direct competition with their
parents, thereby ydemoralizIng their mental as well
as their physical powers; and be 1t further
Resolved, That when any person persons
through their greed, takes away from The toiler
part OF their earnings in the form Of an unjust re-
ductio.f, IL Is committing an inhuman act and in
our opinion is detriment instead OF benefit to
any community.
A very handsome sum Of money was do
mated to the Freeport shoeworkers on strike,
and all delegates were requested to place
the grievance of the Freeport shoeworkers
before their respective bodies.
The Union then adjourned to meet Mon

showing what it would have saved
