RESOLUTION GOES
TO LABOR'S SECRETARY

Sixty-five delegates to the Central
Labor Union, representing nearly
every trade organization in the city,
went on record at the weekly meeting
of the Central Body last night as be-
ing opposed TO violence of all kinds
during labor difficulties. A sugges-
tion was also made that the money
collected throughout the country for
the defense of the McNamaras, be di-
vided among the widows and orphans
of the explosion victims.
The opinion of the union men pres
ent was that as the McNamaras were
guilty they should be subjected to the
full penalty of the law. During the
meeting Joseph E. Andrews, president
of the organization, presented a
resolution, which he, together with
George W. Browning, had prepared.
Three resolutions were presented at
the meeting, and the members elected
H. w. Behan. r. S. Monck. c. S. Smith,
William d. Little, and William Bor-
dens a committee to agree on one
resolution. They agreed on the one
prepared by President Andrews and
George w. Browning, which was
adopted.
Il follows:
THE Central Labor Union of Will
mington, Delaware. is against law
lessness and disorder of any kind, and
is organized for the defense of the
rights and the protection of the inter
ests of the laboring masses. II stands
for the uplift of society. In its re-
lation to the Mcnamara case, it stands
on the principles that il assumes
where the rights of citizens are in

Heved it was a violation of the law

sible.
