FEDERATION RoR

Thirty-seven of the local labor organ-
fzations We're represented at the meet
ing of the local Federation of Labor on
last Tuesday evening. President John F.
McHugh occupied the chair, and Delegate
c. A. Maidens, OF the Paperhangers'
Union, in the absence of Secretary Keep
recorded the minutes. Credentials of dele
gates for the ensuing term were presented
and accepted from the HorseSboers, Car
penters' Union No. / , Carpenters Assem-
bly,, Laundry Workers, Eccentric Associa-
tion of Engineers, Plasterers and Paper
hangers organizations. The semi-annual
election OF officers takes place on next
Tuesday evening. when it is expected that
the remaining credentials of new dele
gates will be presented.
The contract committee rendered its
report for the past Week, which was
accepted.
Reports were had from the Labor Btl.
reau and Workingmen's Library AssoCia-
tion In the report it was stated that the
manager of the bureau had called at the
Washington Loan and Trust Company,
where the institution had n small account
to omake deposit, but had been informed by
the officials of the trust company that the
account of the Workingmen' S Library Asso-
citation was too small an affair to be
bothered with, as there was nothing - be
made out oft. The manager was requested
TO ledVe his DOOh, SD tDdl tIc dCCOuDt COllu
be closed out.
The resolutions presented at the last
meeting expressing sympathy with the
discharged employees of the Metropolitan
Railroad Company and demanding for
them an impartial hearing was called up and
unanimously adopted. An alleged viola
tion of the eight hour law was reported to
the Federation, and referred to a special
committee for investigation.

brating Labor Day by having parade
The matter was referred to tie Labor Day
committee. Several members Of that COM
mittee stated. however, that it had been
practically decided to celebrate the day by
having a monster excursion, but the re-
quest of the Painters would te considered
Before the meeting the delegates freely
exchanged their opinions on the proposed
plank in the Democratic national pla torn,
favoriDg a national board of arbitrat ton
for the settlement of differences between
employees and employers: also to the limi-
tatioD of Federal judiciary in matters of
injunction. The opinions of the delegates
were very favorable to the proposed plank,
and it was thought that a message of in
dorsement should be sent to Senator Turpie.
When the matter was brought up before
the meeting, it WIS found that a constitu-
tional provision prevents the Federation, as
a body, from taking any such action as had
been suggested. A clause in the constitu-
tion strictly prohibits any discussion of
partisan politics. and the president promptly
ruled the motion tina had been made out Of
order
