He said:

init that the silver men will have almost .
tw0.thirds majority in the convention. We
rely, however, on our arguments, and hope
for a victory.
I'VE are inclined to believe that we may
induce the silver men to recognize the i'm
portaDce of having a gold plank in the

discouraged, we are more strongly than ever
convinced that we have a fighting chance.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Interesting Meeting Held and Many
Reports Received.

Fifteen local organizations We're repre-
sented by a full quota of delegates at the
meeting oI tn,. I,.ntral LABOR Union, A
F. OF L., held last evening at Typographical
Temple.
The most important matters considered
were communication from President
Gompers, OF the American Federation OF
Labor, relative to the arriliation of GAM
brinus Assembly, h. OF L., with the Gen.
tral Labor Union, and the reports of special
committees on the differences between the
Steamfitters and some OF their employers.
III .eiereiice 10 tue rrsJ or these matters
it had been stated that Gambrinus As
sembly had expressed a desire to become
IA member OF the Central Labor Union.
Being Informed OF this, 1t is said, that
Charles F. Bechtold, secretary of the
National Brewery Workers, wrote Presi-
dent GOmpers to the effect that it would
be useless for Gambrinus TO affiliate with
the Central Labor Union, for under its
charter, which Is obtained from the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor, they could not
lay a boycott until they had been member
for six months or more.
1t was in explanation OF this that Presi-
dent Gompers wrote. He said that the rule
referred to by Secretary Bechtold applied
only to such organizations as were not at
fifiated with some national body, and CON-
sequently did not refer to Gambrinus As
SenDly. "A copy Oh MI. dofnperS letter

can do so. -
In connection with the troubles between
tue steam and hot water filters and their
eulpIoyersit 1t was reported that ali honorable
means had been exhausted In attempting
to effect a settlement, but without success.
Asa conseQuenceit it was ordered thatthe six
firms which were still holding out against
the demand of the steam filters should be
placed on the unfair list.
District Organizer W. F. Weber reported
that there was every reason to believe
that the white BARRIERS would soon be or
ganized and affiliated with the c. L. U.
The deleg ates, from Coiu mbia Typo

against the unfair bosses.
At the request of Local No. 16, N. L. n,

COIored Woman Assaulted Near the
Soldiers Home

/
Soldiers Home.
Mary Settle, middle aged cOlOred
woman, was knocked down and outra ged
by two colored men late Saturday night
in the woods adjoining the southeastern
portion OF the Soldiers Home grounds.
both men are known 10 the police and
William Clements, is under arrest at the
Eighth precinct, charged with the crime.
Mrs. Settle was passing the woods on
her way home about 10 O'Clock when
The men attacked her and in spite OF her
cries and the attempted assistance OF q
passing citizen, was knocked down and
dragged about three hundred yards, to a
dense grove, where she was rayished by
both of her assailants.
The woman is employed by a Mr.. Nc
Grew, who conducts the dairy at Soldiers
Home She had finished her work early
in The evening and was returning home.
She had TO pass through the parking just
few yards from the Old reservoir. Just
at this point it Is extremely dark and
very few people were astir In that To-
caiity at the time.
Mr.. J. d. Nauck, a brother of Policeman n
Nauck, OF the Eighth precinct, was passing
i'll that direction on his way to his home.
He heard rumbiing sound coming from
a steep hill a short distance away. In
giancing up he noticed the woman about
hundred feet ahead OF him. At the same
time he saw two men rush up to the
woman and heard one of them exclain,
I'VE are both policemen" and tbrO wing
back their coats disclosed a paper imita-
ton uf a police badge. The woman WAS
seized and knocked down. Both the men
grabbed her firmly BY the armsand dragged
her about 800 yards up the hill Mr..
Nauck instantly rushed after the men and
endeavored to force them to release their
hold on the helpless woman. The Ilen were
armed with heavy clubs, and while one OF
them held the woman the other turned
upon Mr.. Nauck and threatened to kill
him If he did not keep still.
Mr.. Nauck struggled with the BRUTE but
| his efforts to thwart the assailant's pur.
pose proved fruitess. The man who held
| the woman urged the other to shoot Nauck,
| which would perhaps have been done had
not he beat i rapid retreat. An effort
| was made to call the police but it seemed
| impossible to get them word.
Mr.. Nauck's encounter with them, how
| ever. made their faces familiar to him and
| he wis enabled 10 identify the one who ie
no ucustody. He wasarrested abOutnOon
| yesterday by Policeman Shannon, to whom
| he had been pointed out.
| Mary Settle was brought be fore the pris.
ener a fter he was locked up and she readily
| identified him as one of her assailants on
! Saturday night. Clemment is regarded as
| q very bad character and at the time OF the
| Hall murder he was arrested on suspicion
| OF having committed the crime and held at
| the station for wo days. His companion is
| believed to be a man named Fad Keefer.
