NEWARK, o.

,SCouacil met in regular session
March q with q small attendance.
It being Easter. Sunday some took
Hdtantage of the fine weather.
There were several surprise pack
tfhs opened that created much in
tetest and prolonged discussion. and
Il. was after the noon hour before an
Adjournment was reached. During
the session q new trades council"
was organized with the neucleus of
therold forming the new. This was
thought to be the right method after
the action taken by the Electrical
Workers Withdrawing their delegates
from the central body In the interest
OF harmony.
The Electrical Workers in Newark
have. shown by their action that they
are true union men and have regard
for the best interests of all con-
cerned, and they will be missed in
the central body of labor, where they
could be found at every meeting.
This will simplify matters some;
those organizations that were COM
PEELED to withdraw because of the
fact that the Newark central body
had lost its charter when it refused
to unseat the Electrical Workers,
can now return as the charter can be
restored at once.
The Iron Molders' Union delega-
ton was out in force with a special
committee present protesting against
. resolution, that had been adopted at
a former meeting of the central body
in the interest of granting a fran
chise for the Automatic Telephone
Co., which had been asked for,
through the Electrical Workers.
The committee stated that the Mol
ders did not concur in the resolution
as adopted. It was afterwards ex-
planned to the committee by ex-
President Alsdorf that the telephone
proposition had been declared OF.
The holders Committee also pro-
posed q scheme by which money
could be secured in the furtherance
Of q fund to assist the car men now
or q strike for q decent living in
Philadelphia.
In this connection q resolution was
adopted as follows: -
- Resolution.
= Whereas, Russian tactics are being
enacted by the civic authorities in the
City Of Philadelphia wherein many
workingmen and unoffending citizens
sympathizers have been beaten and
trampled under foot by police thugs,
and whereas.
Notwithstanding the appeals Of an
outraged public for peace. the Phila-
delphia Rapid Transit Company re-
main obdurate and refuses to treat
with the car men, ignoring the de-.
mands OF organized labor and citi-
xens in general for settlement, thus
creating q condition to be deplOred
by all fair-minded citizens.
Therefore, be it resolved: That
this Newark Trade Union and Labor
Council does endorse the cause OF
the car men and other craftsmen or
Sanized and unorganized. who have
the courage to stand for the rights Of |
their fellow workers in Philadelphia.
And. be It resolved: That We
pledge our moral support and call on |
