Another act I'm the removing OF the
Eastern Coal company from the unfair
list will be completed tonight at the meet
Ing OF the executive board OF the Central
Trades and Labor union. called Tor that
purpose at Labor temple.
This act will so place the hrm before
the working people Of the city that they
will he fair to them. and those who used
TO purchase from them will now feel no
computations I'm doing so again. The
final act will come at tho next meeting
OF the central body, but that will he
simply TO indorse the action OF the en-
gineers and the meeting tonight.
This will have a great effect upon sew
eral OF the unions connected with the
coal industry. In the first place It will
be a removal OF the one charge OF re-
proach that could be brought against the
other unions who had taken part in the
work there when the place was on the
unfair list. Now all the trades can do
whatever work there is, and no charge
can be brought against them. For this
there is rejoicing among the labor people.
Another matter that will come up at the
session tonight will be the recommended
ton for an open session at the central
trades and labor meetingg such as is con-
Quoted at meetings Of the central fedora
ton OF labor at New York and other
large cities. Such an act as his will place
the body in far better standing with the
people OF the city han could otherwise
be done since there twill be a gallery open
ed 20 them Just as there Is at the meet
ings or the city councils and the board
OF aldermen, and those who wish may
come there and hear the celebrations and
see the way the business OF the central
body IL conducted.
Just how the central body will take the
matter when IL is brought too them is not
known but the same plan is carried on at
various other places and IL is known that
a number OF the labor leaders Of the city
