ALL HARMONY, DESPITE STATE
MENTS.
The meeting OF the labor day commit
tee last evening was emphatic in it's de-
nial OF the statements seen In some OF
the evening papers TO the effect that there
was a breach In the ranks OF the unions
and that a number OF them would not
parade on Labor Day.
II was announced that such a statement
was false and that all the unions 80 fr as
the parade and Just as enthusiastic over
the success OF the event as ever before.
The committee was started out on the
program and IL Is thought that II
would meet with the same success as had
been the case in the past few years.
The news OF the resignation OF the chief
marshal was received and an informal dis
cussion Of the probable successor ensued
II was thought that possibly Mr.. r. A.
Ripley would be the next man to accept
the position though there are several pos
sible candidates.
The question Of the resort to which the
labor people would turn on Labor day
came up and IL was determined that every
effort would be used to have all the labor
men and their. families go with the great
er number and every effort would be made
TO have at that resort the largest num-
ber OF labor men that has ever been seen.
The meeting then adjourned.
EXECUTIVE BOARD RECEIVED
LETTER.
The letter OF Mr.. George Z. Brady was
the chief matter received at the meeting
Of the executive board OF the Central
Labor union last evening and its effect
upon the Labor day parade.
One impression that was gained from
the letter was that pressure had been
brought to bear against Mr.. Brady 70
have him take the action he did. The
committee wished TO state that such was
not the case and that Mr. Brady took the
action Of his own volition. being willing
rather 20 see the entire movement sue
cessful than 10 have the honor that had
been conferred upon him by the Central
Labor union under any other than unan-
imous conditions.
BUILDING LABoRERS MET.
There was short meeting OF the uBild
ing Laborers last evening at the rooms

received.

mainder OF that time was given over 10
