INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 21.-The Alliance
and F. NJ. B. A. have practically amalgam-

The council to-day listened to General
Lecturer Wright OF the Knights of Labor
who set forth the troubles OF the Clothing
Union with the Rochester Labor Exchange.
1t will be remembered that Master Work
man james Hughes was arrested and con-
victed on charge OF conspiracy in this
lockout case.
The council adopted resolutions condemn

the jury was hacked, and calling upon all
Iair-mlnded People 10 let the goods of these

Alliance men, with the password, and could
have taken seats with the council and pre-
sented their complaint. This would have
been an orderly and brotherly way of set
tlement. But" says the report. "the re-
fusal of DR.. Yeaman to join In public dis

platform settles one fact-that 1t was not

inform or convince this council OF an error.
