ORGANIZED LABOR.
Continued from first pdge).

weeks after he ndd presided on tne piat- form in the same hall at Cleveland Free Trade but Anti-Hill meeting? Did $50 cause a sudden change of front? If so, Mir. Archibald is indeed very cheap man. There are men in the "C. l.. IT." who would not have been so paIpably inconsistent for the whole of Manhattan Island.
 Now, as MT. Archibald has admitted every point that have made against him in my interviews and in my com municaton to the "C. l.. U." proper, and as have no desire to bring in any thing new. submit the entire matter to your judgment as to whether have made any statement of fact that has not been proven by MT. Archibald himself am very sorry that the affair has devel- oped in the way it has. did not seek the interview in the first place; in fact l did not know anything about it until the reporter dropped in upon me sud denly. When he questioned me ans wered him frankly. It would have paid me to have remained away from the office on that day. There are men on the floor of the "C. l.. U." who can furnish your committee with all of the information you require and If they would speak publicly on the floor of the .'C. l.. U." as they speak privately to friends you can easily explode the mine of hypocrisy that has a tendency to destroy the organization. If l were d Labor man representing my organiza- tion on the floor of the "C. l.. U." l should not hesitate to denounce the ring and it's leader, but unfortunately am q Democratic oifice-holder depending on my party for position and self-interest forbids me doing anything of the kind, Hoping that you will consider my inter- ests and the peculiar position in which l am placed and that you will not draw me deeper into this string,
 Believe me to be yours,
 Respectfully,
 JOHN J. MCKENNA.
 P. s. have been informed by mem- Der of the "C. l.. U." that MT. Archi- bald stated at the meeting of that body on Sunday "that he would break me inside of the party or outside of it !" Thus Mr. Archibald proves that he has more influence with my party than l have. Where or how did he obtain such influence if what l say is not correct?

 Delegate Archibald, after the reading of the report, made lengthy speech in which he denounced the New York So- cialists the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE, the Folhszeit,tng and their reporters as in- triguers, bent upon the destruction of the Labor movement in this city, and winding up with the declaration that in order to be better able to fight them P he desired to resign his position of re- cording secretary. The resignation was accepted with but one delegate voting in the negative.
 Then delegate Goodwin of the Carpen- ters moved vote of thanks to Mr. Ar chibald for his effective services as Secretary.

 Then Delegate Rogers moved again, as delegate Warner did at the previous meeting, that the representatives of the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE and the Volks2el tang be no longer allowed reporters on the floor of the c. l.. U. Dele- gate McVey raised the point of order that, according to parliamentary rules, the motion could not be entertained unless the vote upon the question adopted at the previous meeting were reconsldered.
