Another crowded and interesting meeting
of the Federation was held last Tuesday
night. President Spohn presided and dele
gates from twenty-three local organizations
responded at roll call.
Before proceeding with the bus fness of the
evening President Spohn stated that his at
tention had been called to the fact that at the
last meeting persons who were not entitled 20
admission had been present during the entire
session.
While the proceedings of the Federation
meetings will bear the utmost publicity still
at the same time as part of the proceedings
would have no interest for the public there
fore the delegates decided 10 take extra pre-
cautions to prevent intruders in the future.
Several plans were presented and one was
selected.
Credentials from the Journey House Paint
e-s' Assembly in favor of C. NJ. Cunningham,
and Joseph X. Thompson; also from Local
Assembly 174s, Knights OF Labor carpenters.
in favor of Z. Santmeyer and Morgan
Svingle. and from the Eccentric Association
of Steam Engineers in favor of c. c. Roller
IN place OF I. II. Sears were received and ac-
cepted.
The committee appointed to confer with
committee from the District Assembly
to consider the advisability of the central
labor bodies taking part in the proposed
parade on Labor Day as organizations re-
ported that they would recommend that the
Federation and the District Assembly be rep
resented in the parade only by their officers.
The recommendation of the committee was
adopted. This action was taken so as to al
low the delegates to turn out with their respec-
tive locals
Several of the delegates were in favor of re-
questing the Commissioners to devise some
plan of procuring funds to furnish trans porta-
ton to the so-called industrial armies tha.
are now camping around this District and
who are reported to be il a starving and des-
tiiute condition. As an effort to this it was
reported that the members comprising those
armies did not desire transportation and that
it was time enough for the Federation to act
when requested. The matter was finally laid
on the table.
Under good Of the order the letter OF
NIiBul. COiLHllSSiOHeE III cnITSS Oh
the census. to Senator PETER, regretting that
certain information asked for could not be |
CLEANED from the census. was taken up. As |
the information desired would be very valua- !
bic. not only to labor organizations but to the !
public i'll general, it was recommended that !
the Legislative committee indorse an act that
had been prepared authorizing and enabling
the commissioner in charge oi the census 70
collect certain information of public value not
obtainable from any existing reports. The !
matter was referred to the legislative commit |
tee for action.
