was held in Labor Temple last evening
but these expectations were not fulfilled
and there was practically no politics al
the meeting The committee which has
been considering the political questions
simply made a report 20 the effect that II
was making progress and would be pre-
pared 10 report at later meeting
After that II was thought the BARRIERS
delegates would offer the resolutions
which were adopted at the meeting Of
the BARRIERS union last week. but this
too failed 10 materialize. and the whole
political question was postponed.
Practically the only business transact
ed OF any Importance was In relation TO
The entertainment OF the delegates OF the
American Federation Of Labor which is
20 hold a state convention in this city
one week from today. This gathering Of
the labor delegates from all parts OF the
state is expected 10 be a most important
one. There are a number Of important
matters relating TO labor affairs that are
20 come up and IL is among the possibfli-
ties that political questions will be very
thoroughly discussed
All over the state there has been dis
cussion regarding the communication
cent out some time ago by President
Gompers and some OF the unions have
taken positive action. Others have been
waiting and 1t is believed that some posi-
tive step will be taken at the convention
next Thursday which will be something
IN the nature OF n guide 10 be followed
by the several unions.
The delegate from the local organiza-
tion Is Terence Gibson and at the meet
ing last evening he was given nstruc-
tion as TO what he would be expected 10
do under certain conditions. The con-
vention will meet at 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning and the sessions Will last prac-
fooll Ia ell Aax x.rts
nesday morning. at which time the cleo
zion OF officers will occur.
AT last nights meeting II was decided
20 send s25 10 the Glassworkers union

out The Labor day committee reported
that all bills have been settled and that
all the Labor day affairs are wound up.
The secretary was instructed to pro-
cure 100 copies OF the Union Label Bull
letin for general distribution
SCHOOL COMMITTEE MEETING.
The regular meeting of the school COM
mittee will be held this evening and there
is quite lot OF important business TO be,
transacted. There are numerous vacan-
cies in the teaching force 10 be filed and
there will be a report from the committee
on property in reference 10 the work
which has been done on the buildings
during the vacation period Several other
matters are also 10 come up and the
meeting may be rather long one.
TELEPHONE coNDuITs.
The work Of laying the conduits for the
long distance telephone is being pushed
along with great rapidity and while II is
not by any means completed and will no.
be for some weeks yet still much has al
ready been accomplished. II Is a big con-
tract 20 lay these conduits from Provi-
dence TO Boston, but when IL has been
ha al
going TO get much better service and no
matter what are the weather conditions
there will be practically no chance TO
have these two cities as well the ones
that lie I'm between cut off from communi-
cation with each other
STRIKERS ARE STILL OUT.
There is practically no change in tho
molders' strike situation. The local men
who have left the shops OF the ]. S. White
company and the Pawtucket Foundry
company hold meetings every forenoon at
the Labor temple. at which time any re-
ports regarding possible settlement OF the
trouble are made. Each OF the shops is
being picketed. but there has been no
difficulty az yet and there IL no reason 10
expect that there will be any.

man Nail company as trimmers went on
u slTlke noon. III Is Cldlmeu
that they are dissatisfied with the wages
they receive and so concluded TO stop
!work.AThe manager of the shop declares
that no demand had been made on HIM
for more money and that all he knew
about the AFFAIR was that the boys failed

selves. the most OF them spent the after
noon playing ball on a field not far from
the shop.
