RaniZe the KoontZ mine workers report
ed progress, and was continued. That
irrepressibe cause of contention, the late
street railway strike, came up again 10
the shape Of report from the Ar0ltra-
ton Committee that it had failed TO see
Superintendent Jolly. The matter was
briefly discussed, several members tax
ing the stand that further agitation OF
the subject was not conducive to har-
mony in the locals. A resolution was
adopted instructing the organization
committee to inquire Of the employees OF
the road if they desire to maintain their
union.
A communication, unimportant In It's
nature, was received from the United
Hatters of America.

cations elsewhere. A motion was pass
ed instructing the Legislative committee
to prepare a set Of resolutions, touching
upon the appointment OF Mr. DoOier as

The matter of the Fourth or July
demonstration came up, and there was
an avalanche of unfavorable reports.
The delegates from miners, glasswork-
ers, carriage and wagon workers, cigar
makers, teamsters, hod carriers, and
other unions, stated that their organiza-
tions declined to participate. Several rea-
sons were assigned for this action. One
was the proximity to labor day, and the
feeling that demonstration OF organ
lied labor on the Fourth would inter
fere with that celebration, Another
reason was the feeling against the
Chambe of Commerce, which was al
legged by several delegates to have taken
a stand at every opportunity against
organized labor. 1t was also pointed
out that the unions were not fairly
represented on the various committees.
The subject was finally dropped, with
the understanding that the different
locals will settle the matter for them
selves.

appoint a general committee OF fifteen,
