The majority of the Non-Intercourse
Committee submitted the following:
! We do not concur in boycott on the
New York World for the following
reasons:
/. THAT union men are at work there
at present;
2. The vast length of time that has
elapsed and the numerous committees
that have reported make it Furthermore
detrimental to place a boycott at pre-
sent;
3. That it is an organization fgh1
WHICH ouSuo Hoe W nave pceH uIouSh
into the G.. L. u;
4. The vast interest which organized
labor has at stake in connection with tn,
World and to try and go further thar
this would certainly be detrimental
to all organizations connected;
3. And the placing of boycott on tina
paper would be very apt to let it fall il
line with two other papers which ar,
under the ban at present.
The minority of the committee movet
the adoption of the following:
In consideration of the many commit
tees which have visited the World ant
accomplished nothing we think there
nothing left for us but to place boy
colt on that paper, if it can be don
