A coal miner delegate reported on
coal boycott, which he said is still on.
The Transfers who are hauling the coal,
said the delegate, are not making good
thing out of it, very little being hauled.
Another delegate said: "There is an
impression abroad that the miners are
licked" This, he claimed, is wrong
impression; the company is losing right
along on account of being on the black
list Of the Trades assembly. He coun-
seled that the boycott should be main
tanned and supported by the organized
labor of the city.
The trustees reported a balance in
their hands Of 1868 "a. The treasurer's
report showed balance on hand, SIT 92
The auditing committee reported at
length on the above. The report was
received and the committee discharged.
The legislative committee of West
Virginia reported regarding the tunnel
project. The committee had tried to
have an interview with Prosecuting At
torney Howard, but had failed on ac-
committee had decided it would be best
to leave the matter to the attention Of
the new legislative committee, appoint
ed Yesterday. This course was pursued.
A letter from AIR. Howard was shown,
in which he held the opinion neither
the county or city can subscribe to the
capital stock of a manufacturing COM
pany. Says Mr.. Howard: 1.-THE city
can make q tunnel anywhere within the
city limits, when it is deemed advisable;
the county can do SO anywhere outside
the city limits within the county. The
two corporations could jointly under
take such work of internal improve
ment where the proposed tunnel is
partly within and partly without the
corporate limits. Il is probable that
the proposed tunnel through Wheeling
hill could be done in that way" The
new legislative committee will at once
take hold of the tunnel and glass house
projects.
It was reported to the assembly that
the contributions made to the poor re-
lief funds of Bridgeport and Martins
Ferry have been received.
The trustees were instructed to renew
the lease of thepresent quarters for one
year at the present price.
There was some discussion regarding
the endorsement of Jonathan Wilson,
of Carpenters Union, No. IA, Tor post
master of Martins Ferry. It was finally
decided to be unpolitic to take such an
action, and the motion to endorse was
laid on the table.
The election OF officers next came up,
and it was decided the old salaries shall
be paid, and in addition the trustees
get the princely annual stipend OF S.;
thcv also give joint bond, according
to the new constitution.
