Friends OF the Washington steamitters'
union rallied to its support at the meet
ing of the Central Labor Union in that
city last night, and prevented the expul-
sion of that body, as demanded by Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, who on Friday re-
voked the charter of the central body.
\ motion to expel the steam6tiers was
defeated. TWAS voted to take no action
in the matter until after the close of the
present convention of the American Fed
GRAFTON at San Francisco. The delegates
from the steamftters union stated that in
the event the decision of the Federation
convention is against them in the present
difficulties, growing out oftheir failure to
consolidate with the plumbers union,
their union will voluntarily withdraw
from the central body. The action last
night leaves the Central Labor Union
entirely out of the American Federation
of Labor.
