Over a Hundred Labor Organiza-

to Be Taken in Philadelphia.

A spread of the meat boycott in order
to reduce high prices is reported from
many of the cities throughout the coun-
try.
Among the new points where the move
ment is reported as either advancing ac-
lively or as projected are Minneapolis and
Duluth. Mimi; Los Angeles. Spokane and
Bellingham. Wash: Detroit. Grand Rapids

gusta, Ca; Hagerstown and other points
in Maryland: Terre Haute, Ind: Lincoln,
Neb, and Morgantown, w. Va.
Features of the boycott yesterday were
attacks on the persons responsible for the
prevailing high prices by cergymen in
Pittsburg, Baltimore and New Orleans.
Thus far the movement, which first took
form i'm an actual boycott at Cleveland,
has met with most success in the west.
The east has been slower to follow, in
fluenced perhaps by widespread feeling
among small dealers and in the labor
unions that universal boycott, though
effective as protest, would actually
play into the hands of the packers.

Philadelphia Labor Will
Take Decisive Action

PHILADELPHIA, January 2.-Organ-
lied labor in this city has taken up the
problem Of decreasing the cost of living.
At meeting of the Central Labor Union
yesterday, which was attended by repre-
Sentatives OF all organized trades unions
affiliated with 1t, IA resolution was adopt
ed which means some decisive action in
the near future
Whether that action will take the form
OF joining IN the boycott against the pur-
chase of meat which Is rapidly sweeping
over the city or whether more drastic ac-
ton will result from the passage of the
resolution has not yet been determined.
This has been put up to the executive
committee of the union, which may meet
some day this week to give further con-
sideration to the matter.
The resolution was presented by the
National Brotherhood of Operative Pot
ters in letter which requested that Cen
trail Labor Union take favorable action
upon it. and is as follows:
so serious Is the problem that is pre-
sented to us In the increased cost of liv-
ing that we feel compelled to act In be-
half Of the whole labor class. 1t is a
known fact that the cost Of living has IN
creased 81 per cent in the last thirteen
years. and that wages have increased
only y per cent during the same period
also. that the cost of living has increased
Is per cent in the last two years This
has forced such condition upon working
people that 1t is an utter impossibility for
them to further retrench by practicing
greater economy in changes and modifi-
cations in foodstuffs without lowering the
standard of living to the level of starv-
ing existence
Therefore be 1t resolved that this body
take some immediate action to relieve the
present pressure on the working people
caused by the increased cost OF living"
