The tailorsl Rnfon will hold an inpor-
tant meeting this evening. Nearly
three months agO, owing to the inter-
national refusing to allow claim for
death benefits by the widow of a mem
Der named Ols0n,it was decided to with
draw from that body. and the required
three months notification was forward
ed to the proper official Of the inter
national. Yesterday d communication
was received fby a member of the
Trades and Labor assembly inquiring
whether the tailors were represented
in the assembly, as, under the cOnstitu-
ton, no organization is allowed repre-
Sentation which is not affiliated with
an International body. An attempt will
be made this evening by those in favor
of remaining loyal to the head organ
iZation to secure reconsideration of
the action taken at a preceding meet
i1s withdrawing from the internation-
al, and, as it is said that those favor
ing severing relations with that body
won out by but eight votes over the
necessary two-thirds required to send
back the charter, supreme and final
effort will be made at tonights meet
ing to convert enough members to the
minority to defeat the original stand
taken.
At meeting of the local musicians
union yesterday afternoon ]. B. Wood,
organizer of the American Federation
Of Musicians for the Fourth district,
announced that he had instituted a
union of twenty-five members at Min
neapolis. and that application for rep
resentation had been made to the
Trades and Labor council of that city.
The National Musicians union, which
has a foothold in the Flour City sends
| delegates to the council, but, as the
American Fedeyation of Labor recog-
nizes the American Federation of Mu-
sicians only, AIR. Wood claims that the
new union alone is entitled to send
delegates tosthe council. The tangle
has been referred to a committee of
the council to unravel, and it is ex-
| pected that a report will be made at
| the next meeting favorable to the new
| union and against those affiliated with
| the National Musicians union. Com
| munications' were read from the boot
| and shoe workers union, of st. Paul,
