The Labor Delegation
at Council Meeting
lFrom Tho Wilmington Labor ncrald.l

There can hardly be any doubt in the
minds Of the people Of Wilmington but
that the Central Labor Union Is looked
upon as The one progressive organlza-
tlon OF the city. Interested in public
welfare. The Central Labor Union
never makes any bones about saying
what it thinks There are other organ

The en-and-aboye-hOard methods
pursued by the Central Labor Union
were publicly demonstrated Thursday
night, when a delegation from that or
ganization appeared before City Council
and publicly proclaimed the views OF
organized labor on various civic mat
ters. The statements appear in this
issue OF The Labor Herald.
Regarding the payment OF the bills
contracted FOR handling the epidemic OF
Spanish influenza. the labor hody's
statement IS clear and 10 the point. The
statement is as follows:
The Central Labor Union. which Is
the direct representative Uf over $4,000
workers Of Wilmington. has what might
be termed a matter-Of-fact opinion re-
garding the payment OF bills contracted
to lght the influenza epidemic. We do
not believe that charity should prevail
50 far as the payment Of these bills is
concerned. We believe the bills were
contracted fairly and squarely-that
they are now past due-and that City

should pay these bills. To us. 10 looks
