Father of Labor Union.
Mr.. Spohn was not only a worker in the
field of labor, but he was also a writer on
timely topics affecting the veal Of the
organized workingmen. He was known as
1.-The father of the Central Labor Union,'
owing, it is said, to his pioneer work for
the formation of federation of the trades
unions in the District of Columbia.
Milford Spohn was born in Montgomery
county, Maryland, In 1916, and came to
Washington when a young man. He was a
brcklayer by trade. and by his ability and
progressiveness soon took leading part
in the affairs of the labor world. He was
not only the first president of the Central
Labor Union, but represented 1t as it's dele
gate at the national convention of the
American Federation of Labor held at Mil
waukee two years ago. At the time of his
death he was secretary Of Bricklayers
Local, No !. and delegate from the c. L..
L. to the Presbyterian Ministers Associa-
ton. an Organization which is on fraternal
terms with the Central Labor Union.
Mr. Spohn was twice married. His first
wife was Miss Jane Sullivan of Frederick
City, Md, whom he welded in 1872 OF
this union two children survive, Bernard
Spohn of this city, and Mrs. Gertrude
Cushwa of Williamsport, Md.
In 1890, some time after the death of his
first wife, Mr.. Spohn was married to Miss
Minnie Roland of Norfolk, Va who now
survives him.
The committee of the Central Labor
Union which was appointed last night soon
after the death of Mr.. Spohn, consists Of
Messrs Dickman, Beaumont and Winslow.
Expressions of deep regret upon the death
of the late leader were heard wherever
workingmen were assembled today, and
many a grimy son Of toll attested his af-
lection for the man who was always re-
garded as their safe and true counselor and
adviser in the hour of trial.
