4 ha val
TO DISCUSS POLITICS.
There are indications thrt the meeting
OF the Central Trades and Labor union
which is 10 be held this evening vii be
one OF the most interesting and important
meetings which that organization has held
In a long time. Their Is reason TO expect
that before the adjournment a vote will
be taken in reference TO just what politi-
cal action will be taken by the central
body OF the labor unions in Pawtucket
this fall.
A committee from the several trades
has been riscussing very carefully the
propositions contained in the commune
cation from President Gompers of the
Labor Federation and il Is expected that
a final report from this committee will be
made To the central body this evening
Then IL Is expected there will come a
proposition for an endorsement of one or
the other Of the large political parties
and on this proposition there is likely to
come a long discussion.
The meeting is of considerable import
ance as IL will very much effect the re-
suit of the election this fall. There is a
large body OF working men In the city
affiliated with the labor organizations
and although any action taken by the
Central Trades and Labor union will not
compel the casting OF a single vote for
the candidates of any party still the
moral effect Of such an endorsement will
be very great and consequently there is
considerable interest in the action taken
this evening
