To the officers and members of the

We your committee on resolutions re-
speetfully submit the following;
Ia we heartily endorse the organ
ization of the Ohio County Grain
Growers Association, and pledge this
organization our earnest cooperation
in every laudable way to insure its
success.
Q. A resolution emanating from
Shpltztown Local, No. 1900, urging
tlts County Union to place in the
hands of the Grain Growers Asso-
citation the sale of all live stock, to
be shipped out of the county, was con-
sidered by your committee, and ow-
ing to the fact that the Grain Grow
ers Association is yet in its infancy,
we deem It best to allow the sugges-
yioA TO go over until our next meet
ing. However, we realize something
\should be done in the near future along
(this line, and we urge the members
OF this union to give 1t their best
Thought in the mean time.
A3. Resolutions from the Hartford
,tagisterial District meeting, suggest
ing that we confine ourselves to
making prices on tobacco only, and
providing, also, that all members in
good standing be allowed to pool
their tobacco regardless of the pledge,
were considered and unanimously re-
jected by this committee.
ia. We extend the United Carriage
Workers Union, at Owensboro, our
sincere sympathy In their struggle
TO maintain their right to organize
and enforce their demand for equit-
able wages. In this connection We
again urge our members, as far as
possible, to buy their goods from
snaerchants who handle union-made ar
ficles

tobacco warehouses; at rrihcetoh ie-
Gently, as we deplore any and all law
lessness, which has no place In Equi-
VI
