The calling of a convention of cleo
trical workers TO be held in st. Louis,
Mo, January Is of next year VIII have
tendency TO comphcate matters
among the various subordinate locals
of that craft. Those that support the
administration OF Grand PRESIDENT
Frank }. McNulty, which is working
under a charter from the American
federation of labor, hold that the ad-
ministratiVe officers elected at a re-
cent convention called at the request
of number of subordinate locals that
were dissatisfied with the McNulty
board. has no starsding in the labor
organization on the ground that it is a
self constituted body, without au-
thority from the American fed
Grafton of labor, and not recog-
nized by it. The standing of the two
bodies is now before the courts in the
east and it is also before the fedora
tion of labor in session at Denver,
Colo The locals in this city are not a
unit on the proposition and the locals
of the state are also divided. Those
unions that have declared in favor OF
the new organization are asked, as
well as all others. to vote for or
against the proposed convention of
1909.
A joint committee of five from the
allied printing trades council of Sac
ramento and a like committee from
the employing printers association of
the same city have agreed to visit all
business houses OF the capital city to
impress upon them that they can be
loyal to the locality in which they
derive a benefit from the sale OF their
wares if they viii follow the motto
of the joint associations. All print
be placed with Sacramento printing
houses" The argument to be pre-
sented will be that exclusive Of pro-
prietors there are about 300 men and
industries in the capital city who are
skilled workers, receive good wages
and spend their money with their
townspeopie; that, the Sacramento
Offices and that money paid for work
done in the east is so much taken from
the place and in no wise benefits the
people of the city.
At the last session of the trades and
labor council of Vallejo it was re-
ported that the patronage of Asiatic
laundries had increased to such an ex-
tent that the business of the white
laundries has been seriously affected
1t was stated that something must be
done to awaken every resident of
Vallejo TO the danger that not only
threatens the white laundrymen. but
all branches of industry. The matter
will be brought before the individual
unions with the idea of interesting
each member and enlisting every indi-
vidual in the fight that is being waged
against the Japanese and other low
rate wage earnerS
