General Master Workman Powderly, John
Devlin, of Detroit, Mich. A. w. Wright
Of Niagara, Ont, and j. w. Hayes, Of
Philadelphia The meeting will continue
FOR several days and be an important one
in many respects II shall be decided
whether Major Mckinley shall be de-
nouneed or antagonized because President
Harrison refused to allow the reinstate-
ment Of the discharged plate printers at
the bureau Of engraving and printing at
Washington. Mr.. Deylin said that no
fault could be found with Mckinley per
sonally, as he had expressed sympathy
with the men, but IL antagonized at all il
would be as a leader of the Republican
party whose President Harrison
had refused the demand of organized labor
When asked if any action would be
taken with reference to third party Mr.
Devlin said he would not like TO anticipate
any action Of the committee. He thought
that in some states the interests Of organ
lied labor would be injured 10y the forma-
tion Of third party. ''ln Kansas and
Nebraska, said he, "the time was ripe for
such a movement. aud instead Of being n
third party it was their first party. II is a
question whether it would not be betterin
some states to make alliances with one Of
the leading parties.
