The credential committee reported favor
ably On the above-named delegates, which re
port was approved by the Federation and the
delegates admitted and duly obligated.
Credentials from the International UnioI
of Tin Sheet Iron and Corniee Workers were
also received. This organization not having
any previous representation in the Fedora
ton the committee recommended that the
credentials be laid over for one week TO allow
the committee time to investigate. The
recommendation was approved.
A large number OF the nswly-admitted del
egates represent their organizations for th'
first time. in fact it was noticed that the per
centage OF new material in the composition
OF the Federation for the ensuing term wa:
considerably larger than has been known TO
| several years.

work for the past week created a good dea
of interest. The committee had interviewed
3 ! the promoters of t proposed new theater
and had been informed that the plans would
be here in few days, and the committed
had been requested to call again.
, The committee recommended in this cas-
that communication be sent by the secre
tary to Col. J. W. AIbaugh, who always wa
; a known friend to organized labor, request

Izatons The recommendation was con
Cured in, and the secretary so instructed.

who is making extensive improvements u
his establishment, but had been referred 4

and after listening to the request that unIol
men be employed, refused TO make any reply
! The committee also called the attention Q
the Federation to the fact that Mr.. Colbert

between Mr.. Lisner. of the Palais Roya
! and organized labor. Mr.. Lisner had agreed
: and in fact had inserted in his specification
for the Paais Royal building, that hone bu
union men should be employed but at tn
:, request or rather demand of Mr.. Colbert
} after the building was under roof, had de
cided to annul the agreement. The commit

y tempts to see Mr.. Robert Portner.
: The special committee appointed to act
i conjunction with the District Assembly an
: Typographical onion committees on tn
/, Herman affair." reported that no agreemeI
had been arrived at and they had no recon

stood that Mr.. Tracy, the president of Type
graphical Union. would present statemeI
in writing OF the reasons which had led to tt
:. action taken by that union. The letter wa
: then read before the Federation. At its col
