Of Interest

The regular meeting Of the Trades
Assembly took place yesterday, Presi-
dent Oonnelly being in the chair, and
Secretary Salisbury on deck as usual
There was a comparatively light attend
ance yesterday, owing in part to the
sickness that prevails. Among those
present were noticed many new faces OF
lately added delegates to the Assembly.
The first matter before the assembly
was the Butchers difficulty. 1t was
learned from a report from the local
that no agreement could be reached,
that a majority Of the butchers were
opposed to a settlement, and In COM
pliance with request from the Journey
man butchers, boycott was ordered on
the thirteen butchers Of this city, to go
into effect Immediately. Chairman
Dobler of the arbitration committee re-
ported comforting with the bosses, but
resulting TO no satisfaction.
A communication was received from
Troy, n. Y, saying that boycott had
been placed on the firm of Miller, Hall
and Hartwell, representing various
brands of collars and cuffs. A commit
tee Of three consisting OF Messrs. In
hoff, Meade and Purcell we're appointed
to investigate here In the city and see
who were dealing in these goods. The
strike, occasioning the boycott, was
brought about through an alleged I'M
warranted reduction of wages among
the factory girls of Troy.
Messrs. Meade and Foster reported
progress so far as the Monongah coal
was concerned. Que of the members
assured the assembly that those who
were now dealing in 1t would refrain as
soon as their supply here ran out. They
bought originally without being &C.
quainted with the situation.
The Legislative Committee suggested
asking the Representatives in Congress
to push the petition favoring limitation
Of immigration, particularly among the
Chinese.
There was no report from the COM
mittee on the proposed labor congress,
and further discussion Of the same was
deferred for two weeks.
The Arbitration Committee reported
what had been done in relation to the
boycott on scab cigars. The chairman
of the committee stated that he had
visited one or two of the wholesale gro
Gerry stores, and one of the pro-
prietors stated that he could not see
wherein there was any violation, and
did not feel like desisting in the sale as
yet. 1t was voted to get out circulars
thoroughly explaining the situation,
and containing fac-similes of the union
and non-union labels, in order that re-
tailers could judge intelligently Of the
goods.
The Auditing Committee reported
that they had examined the trustees
report and found them correct. The re-
port showed the amount received for
rents amounting to Sl96. 60, and the bal
ance in the hand OF the trustees Octo-
Der 1, 1891, S99.05, making total OF
$500. 65. The amount paid out is Sl61.55,
leaving balance in the hand OF the
trustees of S129.10. The amount now
due for rent is S26.25. The report OF
the Treasurer showed the amount re-
ceived from July l to December 81 to
be 81, 4S7.04; amount paid out, S224.69,
making total of 81, 26237.
