CENTRAL. LABOR UNION,
Disclaimer of Responsibility for Cen

Disclaimer of Responsibility for Cen
sure of West VirSinia's Governor.
The Central Labor Union, at a largely at
tended meeting held last evening, at Typo
graphical Temple. with President Milford
81 Ohm in the chair, and Mr.. J. NJ. Boyce
secretary, adopted a statement of the posi-
ticn of the organization on the subject of
remarks made by Governor Atkinson of
West Virginia in regard to resolutions
adopted by the local Federation of Labor
at a meeting held here two weeks ago, in
which the governor was severely censured
for his alleged stand toward the striking
miners Of West Virginia.
The statement is as follows:
THE local Federation Of Labor several
weeks ago adopted series of resolutions
denouncing Governor, Atkinson of West
Virginia an enemy of the working class,
terming him as cowardly and bloodthirsty,
and forwarded the same to him, who, in
reply, by open letter, which has been eX-
tensively published, refers to the fedora
ton in very uncomplimentary terms. AS
the impression prevails that the American
Federation of Labor having headquarters
| in this city, is the body from Which the
S"urr1louS resolutions emanated, the Cen
trail Labor Union. an affiliated body of the
American Federation of Labor, deems it
necessary to correct the false impression
The local federation Is no part of the
American Fedora ton. and does not repre-
sent the union organiZa tons of this CITY,
Being local in character, with no national
aHIliation, We are not disposed to Dassiyely
hear the responsibility of the indscreet
action OF that body
An appeal in behalf of the miners, which
vas adopted at meeting of the heads of
various national labor organizations held
In Wheeling. w. Va, last week and which
was Endorsed by the American Federation
of Labor. was further indorsed by the
Central Labor Union. and a committee.
composed OF Messrs. Cannon. Silver and
