gate to the Label League.
The porters' union met Thursday

to bach slide. Organizer Garland was

The bookbinders held their first regu-

men engaged in this work at the head

Woodworkers of San Francisco have
cont ,.;ro,,Iorc ~ cr,,, =, no 4;,,,c oH;l:o+o3
with the 4. F. Of Il. contending that
Art. V, Sec. 5, conflicts with Art. III,
Sec. s, and that no officer SHOULD he elig-
lble to serve more than two terms, ex-
cept the secretary. They also object to
the useless lobbying and begging for
legislation and favor placing working
men in legislative assemblies.
It looks as though the promised de
bate between Mr.. McCallum and one Of
the members of the local S. Z. P. sec-
ton, on the merits and dement's Of old
and new trades unionism, would not be
held. The Socialists were willing to have
the audience take a vote on the PROPOSE
ton to be deba ted, to which Mr.. Mccall
lum objected. The challenge of the So
cialists is understood to be a standing
one, and to include any believer in the
present policy of the trades unions, Mr..
McCallum preferred.
The fact that John Cashin wants the
endorsement of the Trades Assembly for
the position of surveyor of logs is caus-
ing quite a ripple in organized labor
circles. At the last meeting the Assem-
bly, laid the matter on the table for two
weeks. 1t was expected to come up last
night and different opinions aired. The
Assembly can not constitutionally go
into politics and it is considered by
many delegates, that the endorsement
of Mr.. Cashin or anyone else for any
position, would mean that the Assem-.
bly, had gone into politics, while others
do not agree with this opinion. Mr..
Cashin is a popular member of the saw
mill workers union and is receiving the
hearty support Of his own organization
