TRADE UNIONS FORM
new CENTRAL BODY

There is movement on foot,
started by five of the principal la
Dor unions in the city, to organize
in Spokane a new central labor
body to be known as the allied
council. Its object is to bring into
closer relations the local unions
and to prepare for any concerted
action that may in the future be
organized against unionism.
-Messshe figure prominently in la
Dor circles fear that the society
which has been formed under the
name of the Commercial club has
been brought into existence to war
on the principles of labor unionism.
F. q. Merryweather. the promi-
nent organizer who has the new
body'ss interests in charge, in speak,
ing of the matter this morning,
said: 1--WE are acquainted with the
avowed purpose of the Commercial
club and are making preparations
TO meet them on any ground they
may wish to declare themselves.
The cooks, walters, mattresses, bar
tenders and butchers are forming
an allied council to offset the influ-
ence which the club will in all
probability endeavor to exercise. If
any fight comes up at all 1t will
hardly take place-until the spring.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1902-12-08

The unions that will compose
the allied council already control
the whole town as far as they are
concerned, and if it is intended to
antagonize them, we may see the
history of the great trouble in San
Francisco repeated here. In fact.
it is not a doubtful question as to
whether the trouble will so result"
Dan Cartano, president of the
typographical union, said: Il know
that the allied council will be form
ed among the several crafts.
Whether the Commercial club is go
ing to assume a hostile attitude
towards labor no one is in a posi-
ton to assert at this time; but I do
say that any effort on the part of
the business men to impede the
progress of unionism will meet with
utter failure, as was the case in
San Francisco"
Members of the Commercial club
announce that it is the clubs inten-
ton to include among its members
all of the business interests about
the city, that it does not have it
in mind to make war upon any
other organization, but will put
forth efforts for peaceful solution
OF industrial disputes. Its men,
bers refuse to be quoted as indi-
viduals.
