LABEL AMENDMENT
FAILED TO PASS
Central Labor Union Voted
Down Change in Con-
StitutiOn.

The amendment to the constitution
offered several weeks ago by Secretary
sam De Nedrey to have all the delegates
rise in answer to questions relative to
wearing clothes bearing the union label
came up for debate last night at the
regular meeting of the Central Labor
Union. The amendment. under the rules.
was laid over for several weeks. and last
night il came up as unfinished business.
It's purpose is 10 impress upon all the
delegates the Importance Of purchasing
none but union-made goods. and the way
to do this is TO ask all the delegates
after the reading Of the minutes each
meeting night the question if their
clothing bears the union label; if they
insist that union clerks wait on them;
il they smoke union-made cigars and
tobacco; If they patrOnize union barber
shops. union saloons. and drink union
beer; If their hats have the union label;
their shoes, their shirts. their collars,
their working clothes and overalls; If
they buy union-label bread, crackers
and cake. and if they demand the union
working card or button.
Division of Sentiment.
There was some division of sentiment
among the delegates. Delegate Feeney
thought it a good amendment and made
an appeal for its adoption. while others
cOntended that the inquiry should in
clude the living in houses built by union
labor. etc.
A motion to lay the amendment on the
table was defeated, but when it came 10
vote for its adoption the amendment
was defeated, not because the delegates
are opposed TO the general proposition.
but because some thought it a rehec-
ton on their unionism.
The delegates from the Brotherhood of
Carpenters made a motion, which was
adopted, TO have the secretary write all
locals requesting them 10 take part in a
Labor Day parade for the purpose OF

BRUTALITY IN FRENCH ARMY.
General Picquart Promises to Punish Abuses
in Disciplinary BattaliOns.

Paris March 22.-The entire session to-day Of
the Chamber OF Deputies was devoted TO a dis
cussion of alleged atrocities and fortunes which
II is said have caused permanent mutilation
and in some cases even death TO a number Of
soldiers serving in the disciplinary battaions i'm
Africa. Pascal Ceccaldl, Radical Socialist, and
other members demanded a commission Of in
ouirv in order to allay public anxiety on this
subject.
Replying. the Minister of War General Pic
nuart said that the reports from Africa Were
grossly exaggerated, and that much Of the in
formation concerning the conditions in these
battalions emanatCd from untrustworthy
sources lie said that only soldiers who were
known to have bad characters before they were
recruited were drafted into the disciplinary bat
talons He admitted, however that i'm few in
stances the regulations had been overstepped and
abuses committed, the authors of which wOubI
be subjected To an investigation and eventual
punishment and promised to suppress some OF
the scyerer forms OF discipline. In conclusion.
the Minister Of War suggested the speedy pas
sage of the bill introduced by himself for the
abolition Of the disciplinary battalons in order
that all opportunity for the innlctlan OF the So
called horrors would cease To exist.
By a vote Of 426 to 1872 the CHAMBER rejected
NJ CeccaldPs demand for a commission of in
