Number of Reports.

ton of the American Federation of Labor
today the committee on grievances handed
in several reports The convention ac-
cepted the committees recommendation
that no action was necessary in the case
of the dispute between the riggers and the
bridge and structural iron workers.
A favorable report instructing the Anal
gamated Society of Carpenters to with
draw it's members from any work on which
any union of the United Society of Carpen-
ters has struck was laid upon the table.
Some discussion followed on a grievance
resolution affecting the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of WoodwOrkers and the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.
The former organization had charged the
latter wi. inducing several woodworkers'
unions to join the carpenters and joiners..
The grievance committee held that the
claim of the carpenters that the decision of
the umpire in the matter should be set
aside was not reasonable, and declared the
decision should be upheld. The committee
on the executive councils report, referring
to Ine same question, likewise affirmed that
the umpire's decision should be reinforced.
The report of the grievance committee was
accepted.

months and ten days. He was married
to Miss Lucy E. Bellamy on October
28th, 1857. They lived in peace and
sweet harmony for 46 years. Unto
them were born seven children five Of
whom survive him, three boys and
two girls, all of whom are married and
gone from the old home leaving the
mother now alone in her sad Der cave
ment.
He was laid to rest Monday afternoon
in the family burying ground, place
he had selected near the spot where he
was born. The burial service was per-
formed by Elder A. j. Moore, Whit
akers, N. G.
The buring was attended by large
concourse of sorrowing friends and re-
atives.
He was true and loving husband
kind and affectionate father and good
neighbor. He was a gallant soldier
serving his country through the Civil
War till the surrender of General Lee
He was an industrious farmer, always
making plenty and providing we'll for
his household.
The family has the tender sympathy
of large circle of friends who join in
the prayer that they may find help by
looking to Him who hath borne our
griefs and carried our sorrows.
BY A FRIEND.
