Flat in tho c. 4. u.
An attempt was made ut the meeting Of the Gen.
trail Labor Union yesterday to starts movement
for tho erection Of q Henry George memorial
building. 1t did not evoke much enthusiasm.
and, whilo the dead man was praised, tho dis
cussion over the matter showed that the George
movement among labor men had practically
died with Mr.. Georges defeat in 1886. Tho
subject was introduced by Charles A. Reid,
financial secretary of the @. L. u. who sub
mitted resolutions calling for the appointment
Of q OF ten to collect subscriptions
for a George memorial.
Delegate Harris of C~iRarmakers' Union la
opposed the idea and another delegate sug-
Rested cooperating with q similar scheme of a
gift enterprise newspaper which wants the pub
lie to pay for the memorial while 1t gets the ad-
vcrtising. This suggestion was SO unpopular
that the delegate dropped 1t like a hot potato.

ten years to stir people up to erecting a mo.
mortal for Gen. Grant.

His personal election expenses for that cam
paign were 500. spent more than that for
him myself; but the Henry George OF 1886 was
not the Henry George of 1897. Since 1885 he
has done nothing for labor"
1t was finally resolved to refer the whole mat
ter to a committee which is supposed to be ar
r~anginEtfor q Central Labor Union temple, with
power to place a bust of Henry George in the
