Labor unions of different lines of labor
have existed in Sacramento, Cal, but it
was not until the year 1886 that the infiu-
ence of these unions had begun to be
felt in the shape of a federation, as a
general head of all the bodies In the
summer of that year several of the unions
gave a joint picnic. This picnic was pro-
ductiVe of recreation and amusement and
was found TO be profitable; for that, with
similar outings which followed, resulted
in the formation of the present council
of federated trades, which is composed
OF delegates from each union, apPortIOn-
, ed according TO the membership compoS-
ing them. This council has been prCduc-
tive of much good to the cause of organ
lied labor, for during its sessions matters
of interest to all unions are discussed and
acted on, doing aM ay With the calling u
frequent sessions OF those bodies, ana al
inconvenient and inopportune times In
order to meet the needs of Immediate
legislation. The meetings of the council
are held every Monday evening in the
year, thus giving it close communication
with the several bodies which created
it, Following is list OF the unions al
