the list. The Arbitration Committee
re-read its report concerning the matter
under consideration, Delegate Jackson
moved to receive the report, and place
the names Of the three teamsters on the
black list as requested by Miners Local
No. 146. This motion precipitated an
interesting discussion, which covered
the whole range of the difficulty from
its start, Notwithstanding the warnings
OF President Grogan. Mr.. Riley, OF the
Arbitration Committee, offered u substi-
tute for the former report Of the Com
mittee, presented at the last special
meeting. The report is as follows:
ave find the boycotted Monongah coal
in a very unsettled and unsatisfactory con-
dition.
1--WE find among the teamsters very little
evidence Of Union sentiment or sympathy
with the miners, in their efforts to suppress
the sale Of %non-unlon coal.
I'VE ind that the Transfers Union,
while occupying a position antagonlStlc 10
union principles, is permitted to h%onorably
withdraw from the Trades Assembly.
1--WE find that the recommendations to
boycott the three teamsters mentioned IN a
former report, to be not in line with the
laws governing lllS ASSCluBiys
1--WE recommend that the whole matter
be- referred back to miners local No. 146."
Mr.. Robertson moved to adopt the re-
port, which added fuel to the cohflagra-
ton Of oratory. The miners delegates
did not object to the substitute for any
other reason than that it would cause
another delay, as it would require &C
ton by the local, and again by the
Assembly, before the miners could pro-
coed as they desired. The discussion
continued for some time, and when all
the information bearing on the situa-
ton, and all the strong reasoning Of the
delegates was exhausted, a vote was
taken, and the substitute lost. MIR.
Jackson'S motion, favorable to the de-
mands of the miners, was then taken up
and passed by an almost unanimous
vote.
President Garland, OF the Amalga-
mated Association Of Iron and Steel
Workers, who is in the city on bust
ness, was present ut the meeting. He
was introduced by President Grogan,
and delivered a fifteen minutes address,
which was listened to with close atten-
ton. He took the position that labor
unions are educators, and urged the
workingmen TO stand together. BY
this means only could they hope to
secure their ends. He also referred to
the Ways and Means Committee of
Congress. When he concluded, ne was
rendered a vote Of thanks.
Bills a%ggregating S133 were ordered
paid.
The project to rehabilitate the glass
industry in this city, by the purchase
OF the two local factories OF the United
States Glass Company, which has been
10 the hands Of citizens for a number
of weeks, and which will fail unless a
substantial subscription IS secured from
the city, was brought up for considera-
ton. Mr.. Robertson introduced the
following:
.WHEREAs. The matter Of providing
work for the great army Of unemployed IN
this city, is now occupying the attention
of CITY and county authorities, and
WHEREAS, TheclOsing down OF " glass
factories belonging 10 the L. =. Glass

by the abandonment Of the two factor

pressed. Delegates Jackson, Mead,

each Of the two cities, and amended TO
make It SIS. Carried. =
A delegate again introduced the tun-
mel project for furnishing work for the
unemployed, and in a strong speech ad-
vocated it in preference to any other
measure yet suggested. Delegate
Crogan also favored the project, and
moved to instruct the legislative com
mittee to urge Council and the Board
of County Commissioners to make ap-
preparations for the carrying out Of the
work on the lines suggested.
