s6zSSIS5S> Francisco a b o T
council Delegate
Seaman one. Of y appointed to visit
'the local unions in behalf of the union
label and the united. hatters. reported
that he and three others had attended
10 the duties assigned, but that the
other eight had failed to put in. an
appearances. He fhought/tbe chairman
ought to replace these eight by men
who would devote some attention to
duty: He spoke Of the work that he
and his other three coworkers had
done il the matter Of advising the
members Of visited locals not to pur-
chase any hat that did not bear the
hatters' label and in that manner as
Eist- the hatters on strike.
A delegate suggested that as there
was a strike by. the box makers in
progress ia this city, the committee
ought 50 devote a little more atten-
zion 20 1he fnen out of work at home
than to those who were being cared
for by the whole country.
Seaman replied that the local affair
involved only 200 and could be taken
care Of by the local people, but that
The matter Of the hatters involved an
effort To disrupt. a national organiza-
ton and was one that called for assist
ance from every quarter He said that
he knew Of no better way. to help the
cause than by urging the members Of
organized labor to leave nouunion hats
with the store keepers.
Delegate Deju .offered to settle the
whole matter by making a motion
that we drop the matters for a time
and devote attention to. the box and
sawyers' union That started an ar
gument that lasted more than half an
hour. DeJu found that his proposition
did not meet with favor and explained
that by dropping the matter" he did
not mean to prevent unions from con-
tributing 10 the hatters if they saw
n 10 DO so.
Some one in the hall asked, why
didn't you say what you meant 1
thought you wanted to shut out the
hatters altogether" The matter was
shnally settled by deciding to continue
the committee on appeal for the hat
tiers and the label and TO appoint an
other committee 10 assist the box max
ers and sawyers.
