Blanchard Davis, Of Cigarmakers'
Union No. 10, was elected Chairman at
last Sundays meeting of the Central
Labor Union, while Edmund Murphy, of
the Paperhangers, acted as vice-Chair-
man. The meeting was well attended.
The Non-lntercourse Committee re-
ported that it would be desirable to push
the boycott against pool bread more
energetically than has been done hereto
fore; the delegates should be assigned
to certain districts of the city to organize
the campaign against the boss bakers
pool more Systematically. Alter some
discussion it was decided to elect u
special committee of five who are to
take the matter in hand. Delegates II.
Meisel, Middleton, Stoifers, Hamilton
and A. Jablinowski were appointed
members Of the committee.
The Non-l Intercourse Committee then
submitted the following report in regard
to Pulitzer's World:
" In consideration of the vast interests
Of organized labor concerned in this
matter of the Worid-especially the
building trades-and the remarkably
close vote thereon in the G, l.. u. show
ing great diversity of opinion, your com.
mittee would suggest,
T-That the fundamental principle in
all grievances if arbitration fails should
be a strike, and that strike should pre-
cede boycott;
"2-That the G.. l.. U. should endeavor
to bring together all the branches of
organized labor in any way connected
with the World and see if they could not
be induced to quit work.
"Your committee believes that if this
action was adopted the grievance would
be rectiied in one hundreth part of the
time that the boycott would require;
and we further suggest that the G. l.. U.
should clearly define what the whole
grievance Is, as there appears to be
much diversity Of opinion in this
respect
Delegate Da,npf moved that the report
be not concurred in as it simply meant
to delay the matter, while several dele
). gates of the building trades warmly
favored the report. The representatives
of the different Pressmen's Unions urged
radical measures against the World, de"
claring that their complaints were not
caused by differences among themselves,
as alleged by the building trades. The
discussion lasted for nearly an hour,
and the result WAS that the report was
adopted by vote of 40 against As. A
roll call of organizations having been
demanded the vote stood AZ for and 81
against the adoption of the report,
The committee for shortening the
hours of labor reported having made all
arrangements for the Eight Hour demon
stration at Cooper Institute. Delegates
McGregor Reid, Enrich and Others
urged their colleagues to energeticalIy
join the Eight Hour agitation, pointing
out the fact that the organized work
ingmen of all countries were now deter
mined to carry out the Eight Hour day.
