Central Labor union delegates three
hours to decide to send their commit

Tuesday.
During that time the opposition to
this plan, comprising one-third of the

SO much talk that further discussion in
the paper would have a bad effect. In
a word, there was a marked political
flavor to these objections to publicity,
and every delegate as he left the room
was strictly %enjoined to say he would
know nothing if accosted by anyone.
There were twenty-three present, and
OF these six or seven voiced their optn-

committee in no uncertain voice. af-

majority of those who register are com
ing from distances sufficient to make
their railroad fare more than $40 each
and thousands from Missouri. Kansas
and Illinois will pay from SIS to $50
each for their railroad tickets and hum
dreds from New England and the east

reaching the $50 mark. A moderate
estimate then is that the average per-
son going to register Will pay the rail-
roads $40 for fare. The average cost
