meeting was called to order at o'clock
with Vice President Mendall In the chair.
The first business OF the organisation af-
ter the meeting was called TO order was
the reading OF the minutes OF the last ses-
sion and the calling Of the roll. When
that was done the reception OF the Gre
dentials OF the new delegates 10 the body
were taken in and the members obligated
and seoted. There we're a number OF COM
munications received and referred 10 the
several committees.
One communication was received from
the Horseshoers'. stating that two OF the
firms that had been on the unfair list were
now fair TO all organized labor, and IL
was requested that they be patronized.
All the delegates of the respective unions
reported that the prospects for the various
trades were never In better condition. The
new local of the Coal Teamsters had dele
gates at the meeting for the first time
since they have been organized and were
given royal reception.

ing cards OF the men and 10 look for the
display OF tho union label whenever MAX
Ing a purchase. The committee that was
appointed to visit Thompson Brothers,
expressmen, reported that they were un-
fair and all efforts TO have the Difficult
ties settled were unavailing.
Though repeated efforts have been
made TO have them become members of
some one OF the locals. A communica-
ton from the Bakers was received to the
effect that Banspach Brothers and j.
Althans had been removed from the un-
fair list and were now worthy OF being
patronized.
Members OF the Plumbers union OF this
city will regret to learn that Mr. An
drew j. Mccormack. the genial business
agent OF that body will no longer be
seen acting In that capacity. Owing to
stress OF circumstances he vas forced
10 resign. II was not owing to any com
plications in his relations to the union
that Mr.. Mccormack was forced 20 re-
sign. but because OF affairs OF a personal
nature. While in office he performed
his duties with a spirit that won for him
the esteem and friendship OF not only
every member OF his local. but all others
with whom he came in contact
Mr.. Mccormack while severins his
business relations with the body will not
lose his identity with the body, but upon
every meeting night will be found among

There was a meeting of the Iron Work
ers last night at the Labor temple. where
| much business OF a routine sort was
transacted. The meeting was called 10
order promptly at the appointed time by
] the president OF the body and the usual
| order OF business was begun. After the
| roll call several communications were
received and acted upon. The reports
OF the various committees were received
and approved. There was much re-
| joicing when the report OF the nomna-
| ting committee reported that there were
| number OF new names to be presented
| for membership vote. 1t is needless to
say that they were all acted upon favor
| ably. The body now numbers consider
| ably more than II did six months ago
and before long will rival IN size any
| organization in the oity.
There was a communication from the
! Iron Moulders to the effect that the Bar
stow Stove company was again In the
mood to be fair to organized labor and
were worthy OF being patronized IL was
decided that action must be taken in re-
gard to Hennessey's laundry for the rea-
son that there II not one OF the drivers
| Of that firm n union man.
| Several communications were received
| from outside locals. and II was voted to
| send replies There was a little trouble
anticipated with one OF the firms OF the
| city, but IL seems TO have vanished into
thin air, for everything is reported to be
running smoothly now.
At the meeting of the Ceramic Workers
there was nothing out Of the ordinary
| that was accomplished The meeting was
| called to order by the presiding officer.
| and the regular routine order was begun.
| There were reports from the several COM
| that IL was thought that IL was hardly
| worth while to mention them individually.
| IL had been expected that there would be
| some visiting speakers at the meeting.
but they did not appear as anticipated.
| for the reason. IL is presumed. that the
storm of the past day or so delayed traf-
| fc, and affected their means OF travelling
so as to upset their plans. The secre-
| tary OF the organization had received no
communication from them. and so had
no explanation TO make.
! The meeting OF the Linemen In the
4 Hanley building. while not so large. was
one OF the most enthusiastic OF recent
date They met promptly and when call
| ed TO order proceeded to the regular rou-
| tine business. This consisted of the hear
| ing of the reports OF the various commit
tees, and the reading OF the communica.
tons from the organizations that sent
| them. After some discussion the meet
ing adjourned and the members returned
| TO their homes.
