& Co., 1t was done on false pretenses.
and misleading to the great army of or
! ganlzeu labor 1t was decidedly wrong
to couple the name of Fleischmann and
Company's Yeast with Fleischmann's
Model Bakery, as the two are separate
and distinct firms having no connection
with each other. We must be lust and
falr to all. The committee can see no
reason for the action against Fleischman
N Co., and would recommend their pro-
duct to organized labor wherever found.
IL would furthermore recommend that
flelschmann ~ Co. be notified to that
effect and also the New Haven Trades
Council" A motion was then made by
chairman Reynolds. seconded by one of
his adJutants, to receive the report and
discharge the committee.
But 500 Archibald, seeing ahead a
little further than Pat. Reynolds & Co.
opposed the motion and offered a substi-
tute. He said thai no doubt his fellow
boodlers had done 'od work and the C,
l.. Y. had got at Il bottom facts of the
case; but if the rec concentrations were
boldly adopted everybody would say
that the G. l.. U. had been boodlng
again, and that the boycott had been
withdrawn from motives of spite; il
would, therefore, for policy's sake, be
wiser to do the thing in different way.
lie flung in also a remark that EMPLOYERS
must not be given an opportunity to
publicly boast that they could buy the
{. l.. u. Consequently it would be best
to adopt the following
ReSotred, That as the report of our
special committee goes to show that the
Fleischmann Yeast Company & Fleisch-
mann's Vienna Bakery are separate and
distinct; and, as the G.. l.. U. never
levied boycott against the Fleisck
mann's Yeast Co., it is not in our power
to raise it; and, that we advise the Ma
tional Bakers Union that they can have
a copy of this report, on demand; and
that we urge them in the interest of
equity and justice to investigate this
case again.
Mathew Barr said he found that the
Z. L.. U. had lent its name to the yeast
boycott under the impression that the
two firms were one. They now found
that the firms were distinct If we have
been led, he said, under misrepresenta
ton to commit wrong, the sooner it ia
removed the better. The bakers tell us
that this does not concern us they did
not say so when they asked us to indorse
it. 1t a man has scab brother 1t is not
su posed that he is a scab also. Barr
in ,rsed Archibald's substitute.
gorge X. Lloyd disagreed with Barr.
is union levied boycott they would
laundering mad il the G.. l.. U, or
5, y other body should interfere.
Nicholas Mahon said that he was not
interested in Fleischmann's Yeast, but
he thought that the Bakers should be
left alone.
Henry Enrich said that, even if the
boycott had originated with the c. l.. U.
it should beep its hands off. The C. l..
U. and the American Federation of La
Dor had both indorsed the boycott, and
it was pretty late now to investigate.
The parties levying boycott should be
the only ones to lift it. 1t has already
been claimed that the G. l.. U. was to
Ilft the boycott out OF spite, and that
would also be maintained in the future
and work injury to all organized Labor.
Thos. Doyle and w. A. Hotchkss spoke
in favor of the substitute while Patrick
Reynolds and Louis T. Page, members
of the committee, defended their report,
Reynolds defying anybody to show that
the statement of the WoRKMEN's ADvo-
CATE, that he received any Doodle for
trying to lift the boycott was true.
The WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE did not
make this specific charge against Mr..
Reynolds, but simply intimated that the u
oa,,l,. .s L., .... ~
with Mr.. Fleischmann and its treatment
of Mr.. Delabar laid it open to any sort
of suspicion. 1t may have been impel-
led only by mean spirit of revenge,
but, had it been bribed to do what It
did, it could not have acted in moEe
manner. Mr.. Reynolds and
his associates on the so-called Commit
tee Of Investigation of the C.. l.. U. de-
serve to be marked and repudiated by
Organized Labor throughout the coun.
try. JED.
The substitute was adopted by a vote
of q to II, and finally it was made
Before the vote was taken letter was
read from the New Haven Trades Coun
Gil stating that it had reconsidered its
action in removing the boycott and had
relieved it, having ascertained that
tleischmann & Co. were hostile to or
ganized labor
