OLIVE BRAAiH HELD OUT
Central Lab1r Bodies May
Net IN Conf relce.
{. L. U. SUGGESTED II
At Last Nights Meeting 1t Wns
Decided to Invite the Other Bodies
to Send Delegates to a Conference.
Object Is to Better LabOr's Con-
ditiOn Here.

The Central Labor Union, at its meeting
| last evening, by unanimous vote extended:
the olive branch to the other central labrr
bodies in the District and invites them
TO general conference Tor tn. purpose OF
formulating plans by which they may all
work together in harmony for the ends
which created them,
This action on the part of the Central
Labor Union is somewhat unexpected. he
| cause OF the fact that it is generally known
that ever since its organiz alton the relations
between It's affiliated members and those
OF District Assembly No. 66, X. OF l. =,
| and the local Federation have been very
strained, ana at times Il clash was lmili-
hent, and was only avoided through the ef-
forts OF the most conservative menbc|s
on both sides.
FIVE DELEGATES EACH.
The resolution providing for the confer
ence instructS the secretary to inform the
local Federation, Building Trades Council
and District Assembly 66, of the action
taken, and asks that they each choose five
delegates 70 meet in conference on sunday
next at Electrical Workers Hall, stating
the purpose to be to harmonizc all existing
differences so that they may all labor
together for their own and the best
interest of the general public.
IN What sp:rlL this proposition VIII be
received by the other central bodies Is, of
course, conJectural. but the opinion has been
expressed by leading members of the
Central Labor Union that it will be con
sidered favorably, and at least an effort
made to wipe out the past. If this is
done and all the bodies send conservative
representative TO the conference salts
factory results are expected.
After the meeting President Spolr
was asked IL IL was the ultimate object
of this movement To consolidate all the
labor forces OF the city under one head.
He said il was not, nor did he think such
thing feasible under existing circum-
stances because, he said, the national af-
fi!iations Of the local bodies were such
as To make il impractcable.
WHAT Is HOPED FOR.
Favorable action of the proposition of
the {. l.. U. would, however. result in
untold good to the labor interests OF the
city, while such compact would in no
manner interfere with the loyalty OF the
several locals and unions To their natioLal
bodies.
