BY The prompt rulings of the president the
delegates were enable to reach their homes
earlier on last Tuesday night than has been
their custom for the past twelve months
The friendly relations now existing between
the outside world and the Federation of
Labor had. however, much 10 do with ma
tcrially assisting President McHugh in
making last Tuesday nights session the
shortest of the wear. Not single COIN
plant was recorded by any local organiza-
Iiua at the meeting. The complaint that
the Carpenters aud Irou Workers We're re-
ce'vlnG less Than Washington union wages

OF the new brewery. W no made a personal
visit to the work, and insisted that the
contract, to employ strictly union labor,
should be adhered 10, and that the Washing
Ton rate Of wages should be paid, which was

by the other local instead of by the central
bodies. The report was accepted, and the

The financial secretary treasurer pre-
sentcd his quarterly report, which showed
very ilattcring state of affairs and a bal
