The foregoing was unanimously
adopted at last nights meeting of the
Central Labor union in the Ancient
order United Workmen hall on Lacka-
wanna avenue, and copies were given
to the newspapers for publication.
The action was occasioned by the
recent attacks of the paper mentioned
upon the we'll known clothing firm.
Last Tuesday night after Michael
Kapheal, agent for the United Gar
ment Workers of New York city, had
made his address concerning sweat
shops and their products a committee
comprising members of the several To-
cal labor unions was named and au-
thorized to investigate suggestions Of
fered by Agent Raphael that certain
clothing firms in this city were ham
ding sweat shop goods.
This committee consists of T. J. Mon
ahan, of the BARRIERS union; ]. NJ
Knowlton, of the Carpenters union; ].
f. Everett, Of the Cigar Makers union;
w. j. O'Connell, of the Horseshoers
union; Miss Mary Tighe, of the Gar
ment Makers union; p. G. Moran, Of
the Typographical union; James Tier
ley, of the Turner'S unicn; P. F. Hol-
ton, of the Painters union, and ]. A.
Brahams, N. G. Teets and NJ. ]. K.
Levy, of the Clerks union. The two
latter were excused from serving be-
cause they are employed by interested
parties.
These committees met and investi-
gated, as far as possible, and an
unofficial report of their findings par
ticularly vindcating Samter Bros. &
Levy, was given in last Fridays

IN SECRET SESSION.

At the meeting of the Union last
night the committee gave it's report
insofar os it concerned every firm that
had been investigated. The meeting
was a secret session. President Flah-
erty was in the chair, and the interest
in the matter at hand was responsible
for the attendance of thirty or forty
members. AT 10 o'clock a member was
sent out with the resolution given
above, and it was placed at the dis
posal of the representatives of the two
morning Scranton papers. Nothing
further was authorized for publication.
1t is known, however, that Samter
Bros. & Levy treated the committee
with every facility, even placing their
books at the disposal of the Union men,.
At the stores of some of the other
firms investigated this was not done,
and the committee reported that sweat
goods are being handled in some of
those particular places. The usual
measures for the boycott of these nom
union firms will be begun at once.
The Tribune is informed that the
committee reported favorably or ad-
versely concerning nearly all the lead
ing clothing firms in the city.

There has never been any conceal

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced 1t local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

John Farrell was brought in to sub

the particular referred to; hence,
all reflections upon him based thereon
are hereby Cancelled. The JOURNAL

innocent than guilty. To make this
