WoMAN's SUFFRAGE.
quite spirited discussion of the question
Oh woman S suffrage consumed good por-
tioh Oh the session. 1t was provoked by a
communication from the American Fedora
tioh OF Labor, inclosing proposed amend
inent to the United States Coust tuition, ex-
tending the right of suffrage to women, and
asking the council to sign it. The request
was made not necessarily as favor ing
the amendment, but simply as a means of
bringing the measure before Congress and
giving The people an opportunity to express
themselves thereon.
Delegate Burlon thought the subject too
oeep and profound for the council to crap
pie, and moved an indefinite postponement.
delegates OConnell, Phillips, Mullen and
Dolan thought it an important question,
ana one the council should not shrink from
expressing itself OF. They were anxious to
see the amendment Endorsed, believing it
ahnthef Step toward the dlsenthralment of
nail OF the human race, another step to
t"ruW OIL the yoke of slavery from the bet
ter part of the human family.
DeIeGate tureSeth was opposed to the
measure He did not wish 10 see women
converted from mothers to ward-srikeIs.
Inc motion to sign the amendment was
carried overwhelmingly.

Executive Committee.
In response to notification from S.
G0mpers, President OF the American Fed
Grafton Uf Labor it was decided to send for
100 copies Of the report Of tue late National
Convention, which, 1t Is SAID, was the most
intensely interesting OF any labor conyen-
ton ever held.
The new constitution aud bylaws, just
reconstructed and amended to suit The en-
larged and improved idea of the council,
was adopted by vote Of 50 to g.
Delegates Monaghan, Flanagan, Solomon

BREWERY WORKMEN.
The report of the Organizing Committee
IL relation to the disrupted Bewery Work.
men, anu the consequent discussion thereon,
brought out number of startling develop
ments. The committee said that it had
found the new union, local No. 1t, COM
posed OF bakers, taliOrs and saloon K etpefs
Two of them are Natioualists, two Social
lists, and others of varied sociallstic COM
pleXlon. One OF theE;, ana leader, by the
way, is no less distinguished individual
than Henry Weissmanu, who, some three
agltator aud dynamiter. They are not in
any sense representative brewers, and the
suspicion is almost unavoidable that their
organization Is the working OF a scheme 10
break up the Pacific Coast Brewery Work
men.
The committee recommended that the
members OF this union, OF necessity uuc0n-
genial should not be- admitted into the
council.
A great deal of surprise was expressed

lnqulIlng into its merits. Delegate Fin
merry thought there must be some ding rot
ten in Denmark.
President Fdhrman declared that the rot
tenness was IN GomperS office and not in
Denmark. lie had come to that conclusion
IN the IlSht OF very recent developments.
lie had Just received telegram from the
delegates In Portland pushing the boycott
against the Weinhardt Brewery. that the
employees of Weinhardt diye-keeper. and
one or TWO others, had procured u charter
from GohperS ami organized as a branch of
the national union. This, it is said, was
done to resist the boycott of the Coast union.
More than this, the national union TO which
these unions belong only contains 700 or 500
men, when II should number %, 000. 1t is
corrupt ing, feeding off of small unions and
is not national The Pacific Coast unions
were expelled Tor refusing to pay all illegal
assessment
Ihe report was unanimously adopted, and
the new unions application for admission
rejected with like emphasis.

ResOtUed, That the said Trustees are hereby
requested 10 discontinue the fee and to fix the

The resolutions brought out perfect tenn
pest of remarks condemnatory of the man
agement of that establishment, and they
were adopted unanimously
A COMMITTEES composed of Delegates
Grambarth, Farland and White was ap-
pointed to approach the Lick Trustees, and
take the necessary steps to have the obnox-
louS 5-cent tax removed.
TROUBLE Is BREWING.
In reIoriing the condition of his union,
President Thurman said that some bad
weather Is brewing; he had learned that one
OF the bosses intended to discharge several
union men next Monday and put scabs in
their places. He could not of course, fore
tell the result.
