The Confederation of Organiza-
tions Meets in Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The confer
ence of the delegates to the confedera-
ton of industrial organizations was re-
sumed this morning, the question under
discussion being the best method of III
structing and reaching the industrial
classes, and the most feasible plan for
educating them in the doctrines of the
organizations. Much difficulty has been
encountered, it is stated, in dissiminat-
ing the principles and ideas of the con-
federation as embodied at the Ocala
convention, and reaching common
basis on which to work. This is APP
| plicable particularly to the negro
regions as we'll as in less degree
| to other portions of the country, where
it has been found that nearly every state
organization has different methods of
reaching the people. These questions
were under consideration by the confer
enee all the morning and an effort was
being made to agree on some common
| method On which all organizations can
unite and to draft plan of work agree
able to all organizations.
The confederation, after long dis
cussion, finally determined that the ma
tional committee shall consist of the
chairman of the different organizations
of the confederacy in each state. The
duty of this committee will be to deter
mine upon the best methods to perfect
the work of the organization and carry
out the demands made by the
confederation. The new committee
has plenary power, during adjourn
ment of the delegates composing
the organization, and each chairman of
the executive committee has power to
appoint assistants to aid him in any way
in carrying out the views and impress
ing upon the members of his organize
ton the principles of the confederation.
Bylaws were adopted by the confer
ence for the government of the confed-
GRAFTON, which also prescribe the duties
of the officers of the different organiza-
tions. The president of the confedera-
ton was authorized and empowered to
invite all industrial organizations to
send representatives to meet and eX-
change views with the confederation at
its next meeting, the delegates to be
fully empowered to act for the organiza
tions they represent. The conference
then adjourned to meet again Feb. %,
1892. at some place to be decided upon
by the chairmen of the state executive
committees. The president, however,
has power to call another meeting
whenever he deems it advisable. Il. A.
HUMPHREYS was elected vice president
of the confederation.
President Ben Terrill says the meet
ing was harmonious, and there was no
internal discussions. He also says that
the confederation contemplates no third
party movement, as it has no authority
in such matter. If it is contemplated
the people must first make the move.
The organization though, he said, would
always give its support to persons who
supported its principles and worked Tor
its promotion. and would further pledge
itself to support no one for federal office
who refused to Use his best endeavors to
perfect legislation that would accrue to
the benefits of the organization.
President TerriIl leaves here Sunday
night for Omaha to meet the National
Alliance of the Northwestern conference
on matters pertaining to the organiza-
ton.
