DELEGATES
UNSEATED

Last evening the Providence Central
Trades and Labor union took decisive ac-
ton against the Brewers unions of this
city and deprived them Of their seats.
The Brewers. In point OF numbers and
financial standing constitute one Of the
strongest factors in the labor movement
In this city and the action taken is today
the talk OF the labor circles. though II
had been expected for some time.
The point at issue was the turning over
to the respective locals the men employed
at the breweries but working at other
crafts than brewing. This includes the
firemen, the engineers, and the teamsters,
and since there was a local formed In
this city In each of these crafts IT had
been asked that the rnen be turned over to
their respective locals.
Tho brewers objected. since It would
10 a dogree deplete the ranks OF that craft
and used as one OF the strongest argu-
ments the fact that the engineers and
fremen in the mines OF the country were
under the control Of the miners and not
the trade locals.
The trouble started at least three years
ago at the meeting OF the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor. This body decided that
the Internatiol Union OF the Brewery
Workers should turn over the men but
the decision was appealed. The questioa
was again brought Zip at the next con-
vention and this time was ruled in prac-
tically the same way.
Despite this the brewers International
refused 70 abide by the decision Again
last year the question was brought up,
but was side-tracked and the last resort
was an appeal to the executive board OF
the American Federation which ruled
that the members OF those crafts should
he turned over to their respective locals
between the 18th and the 10Th OF this
month or forfeit tho right 10 attend the
proceedings OF the Central body. The in
ternational decided that n would rather
lose its seating than 10 lose the men.
When the matter came up last evening
the president OF local 166 stated the deci-
sion received from headquarters and the
delegates were unseated. This course has
been followed by central bodies In sew
eral other cities with the result that
eventually the men havo been placed
where they belong, and II Is hoped that
the same will result here. The delegates
are Is and 20 and represent about 500 men.

VERDICT Is
SET ASIDE.

The appellate division OF the supreme
court has set aside the verdict OF $500
given by jury to Mary A. Cheethan IN
her suit against the Union Railroad COM
pany. Judge Douglas writes the opinion
OF the court and says after reviewing the
evidence I'm view OF all this evidence 10
seems that the defendant has abundantly
sustained the burden OF showing that the
accident was not occasioned by Its care
lesshess.
The evening was dark, a storm was ap-
preaching, and the motorman could not
have seen an object like n spike upon the
rail In time to have avoided It II this
was the cause OF the accident the COM
pany are in no wise responsible for It.
That such was the case we think Is sup
ported by evidence, both negative and
positive sufficient TO convince any un-
prejudced person"
Plaintiff was injured by the derailment
OF car on Warren avenue. June II.
1900. She was saved from being thrown
against the framework and badly injured
Her counsel claimed the car left the rails
because II was going at too high a rate
of speed.
There was slight bend in the track
called n curve. Just after the derailment
young man claims he found a nattened
spike on the car rail-. Plaintiff objected
to testimony as TO experiment made by
running cars over the place where the
accident occurred.
Judge Douglas says this testimony was
properly admitted. His honor calls at
tention 10 the evidence that at thu time
Of the accident a strike Of some Of the
employees Of this company was IN pro-
gress and distractions had been placed
on the trucks at different points.
