properly signed and sealed, in regard to

daily paper, which stated that organ
lied labor was becoming a gigantic
trust, of which the country would soon
sicken. This article was bitterly de-
nouneed on all sides, and committee
of five was given instructions to wait
on the management of the alleged paper
and report at the next meeting. Dele
gate Mooney was instructed to get cop
les of the different labor papers pub
lished and present same to the assem-

best. Adjourned to meet next Friday
