There was an enthusiastic meeting Of
the Carpenters district council last even

terest was the report of the delegates 10
the convention OF the New England
Brotherhood held at Rutland. VT.
Mr.. Campbell was to have made the re-
port for the delegates going through the
particulars OF the proceedings for each
day and the treatment accorded the del
ogates by the people OF the city
One particular portion or the report
that was OF interest was the resolution

These statements make II clear just
the conditions that exist and how clearly
the unionsts are abused. What action
will be taken by the various parent bodies
in the states will be seen later The let

20 the neglects and the causes for the
conditions and the stand taken by that
body In the matter, showing that its is a
wise and just course IL ends with an
appeal 10 organized labor TO assist the
strugglers IN having their rights by
every legitimate means possible
The statement OF the Western Fedora

IL Is the duty Of every union man to use
his influnce TO see that right Is done TO
those who have suffered unjustly.
OTHER MEETINGS.
There were several other meetings
among the laor unions last evening but
az most OF them there WAS not much
done except the consideration of routine
matters. The Plumbers the Iron Work
ers. and the Linemen held sessions but
the most OF the time was devoted 20
routine matters. The only item out OF the
ordinary was the speech OF Mr.. Robert
y. Reed az each of these. He is fluent
speaker and has the conditions I'm Colo

appeal there cannot but he a reHponse.
He very wildly protrlys the conditions
and the injusticee in vogue IN section
where anarchy seems 20 reign. He was
given assistance AZ each of the meetings.
