Painters Union BOT to Parade.
Painters Unien, No TO, will not parade
on Labor day. When the movement to
have a parade was first started by the
Central Labor Union the painters entered
into the scheme with great enthusiasm AMI
voted to take part in the demonstration.
Subsequently, from some unexplained
cause, they rescinded- that action. Upon
learning Of this the Central Labor Union
appointed committee composed of
Messrs. Canty. Crowley and McCrink to
call on the painters and ask them to re-
consider their second action and join with
the other trade union bodies in the pa
rade.
The committee called at the meeting of
the painters which was held last evening
and stated the desire of the Central Labor
Union in reference to the matter, but they
were unable to induce them to parade on
Labor day. Later President Spohn of the
Central Labor Union, at the request of
some of the members of the Painters
Union, called at the meeting and renewed
the invitation. He addressed the union, re-
Winding them that theirs the youngest
trade union organization in the city and
was formed through the efforts of the Cen
trail Labor Union: that it was sustained by
the latter body and that of the Building
Trades Council, and that those two bodies
considered that it was the duty of the
painters to participate in the parade with
those who rendered them every assistance
and without whose aid 1t would be i'm
possible for the Painters Union to exist
tUi he q mr. he do
by President Spohn, the painters refused
positively to participate in the parade
They, however, voted to impose fine of s.
On any member who works on Labor day.
The members were also directed to call at
the meeting place of the union Monday
morning next at 9zoclock, when the roll of
names will be called and they will he DIS
missed, after which they Will be at liberty
to enjoy the day as they please. 1t is eX-
pected that many OF the members will go
down the river to picnic.
What the Fresco Painters Desire.
The painters, after deciding upon the
course they would pursue in reference to
the parade, considered a communication
from Secretary Elliott of the National
Painters and Decorators Organize ton,
which had been received by Organizer
Weber, relative to the chartering by the
national organization of fresco painters
union. 1t was stated that the fresco paint
ers desired to become affiliated with the
national body as distinctive organiza ton.
In the letter Secretary Elliott expressed
qualification that the fresco painters be
thus organized, and he would willingly
grant them the charter provided the paint
ers were willing. and he hoped they would
give their consent, as it would add another
union to the national body, which is now
working outside OF the national painters
Jurisdiction
A committee was appointed to call upon
the fresco painters at their meeting tonight
and confer with them in reference to the
matter and agree, if possible, upon the fu-
ture trade relations of the two bodies in
the event of charter being granted to
the fresco painters.
Irresponsible Collectors.
1t is stated that two men, who had no
authority for the purpose, have been col
lecting money from several business men,
alleging that they were commissioned by
the Labor day committee of the local Fed
Grafton and District Assembly &c. Knights
of Labor, to do so, and the committee
wishes to warn the public against them.
