 the Admirers of Matthew Barr. Delegate James McKim of the Carpen- ters was named by the delegates of the Onward Labor Club. Bernhard David was elected Vice-chairman by vote of 33 against 31, which Edward Conklin received.
 Credentials for new delegates were referred to the the committee from the Bartenders', Cigarmakers' No. IA, and New York Caulkers' Association.
 The Lumber Handlers Union having stated that they do not meet in place where pool beer is for sale, their dele. gates were admitted.
 The Foundrymen's Union stated that they indorsed the c. L. U. new consti- tuition, with the exception of the pledge; also the womens suffrage petition.
 Invitations were accepted from L. A. 1562 to their tenth anniversary, to be celebrated at the South Brooklyn Schuetzenpark, 5Oth street and Third avenue on July 19, and from the Ale & Porter Brewery Employees Protective Association to their excursion to Iona Island on June 15. .....
 The Hexagon Labor Club sent thelr thanks for the assistance of the c. l.. U. during their strike.
 From the Cloakmakers' Union came a communication explaining the reasons for their lockout, also an appeal for assistance, as many members of the Union are on the verge of starvation, having pawned all they possessed, and being homeless, others have been arrest ed and placed under heavy bail. J.P. Archibald moved that the funds in the hands of the Treasurer of the late c. l., Federation be turned over to the Cloak. makers. But, as it was shown that the fund is almost exhausted by contribu- tions to strikes, etc., it was resolved to give the Cloakmakers $50 from the Treasury of the C. L. U. and to instruct the Arbitration Committee to do all in its power to assist the locked-ou men.
 Hereupon delegate Archibald demand ed the report of the committee appointed to investigate the ''charges" made against him by John J. McKenna; but he gave way to delegate Henry Enrich, who stated that lockout against Fur. niture Union No. 2 had been declared in 23 different shops, because they had upheld a strike against tyranncal foreman in the shop of Roux & Co. Mr. Enrich further stated that his Union had made arrangements to financially assist the locked-out men, but that they also expected the moral support of the c. L. U.
 The request of delegate Enrich was, thereupon, granted; also request from delegate Paul Steinmann, who asked the moral assistance of the c. L. U. for the Artificial Stone Masons, who are on strike in sympathy with the striking brass workers of the Manhattan Brass Works.
 Then the report of the Investigating Committee was read, as follows:
 "The only statement made is that delegate Archibald received $50 as ex- penses-to speak in Buffalo-from the Democratic party, as admitted by dele gate Archibald, and there is no evidence to show he received any more.
