the support of every trades unionist.
Should any one tell you that it will
raise taxes ask that ~erson if he
thinks his boy or girl is worth five
dollars year. The writer thinks that
one boy educated is worth more then
what the raise in taxes will amount to.
Victor Walk, delegate to the O. S.
F. of l.. Convention made a very good
report, which was unanimously
adopted.
Various communications were re-
ceived and disposed of as the cases
warranted, among them was one from
Secretary Morrison asking for intor-
nation relative to unemployment in
Newark. The secretar-- was in
structed to give him the desired in
formation and also inform him that
the members of the Assembly are un-
alterably opposed to any modification
of the present immigration law.
The following resolutions introduced
by Delegate Rosebrough were unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, Distinguished deeds and
extraordinary service, rendered by the
right man at critical moment, often
are performed and are then passed by
without public comment or apprecia-
ton, and
Whereas, Organized Labor during
the late Railroad Shop Crafts strike,
and by the mems loyalty to him, car
rying their work through the trying
hours, without single act of peace
breaking or obstruction of property,
of railroad or city, it is but the duty
of the Newark Trades and Labor As
sembly, to which all are affiliated, to
express their satisfaction with the
conduct of the strikers, their efficient
manager, and all who assisted in the
long strike, therefore be it
Resolved, That a memorial is due
Bro. James P Wolfe of Machinists
Union No. 80, for the heroic work per-
formed by him on the night of August
4th, when a strikebreaking negro shot
and killed union striker and wounded
another, when he firmly at the head
of his loyal brothers, by peaceful ar
guments caused them to refrain from
the usual vengeance meted out to such
armed ruffans by mob violence,
caused them to take the peaceful
route, letting the law take its course,
thus saving our city, it's citizens and
especially all members of organized
labor in our city, from being branded
outlaws, lynchers and murderers, be
it further
Resolved, That the highest COM
mendation and thanks of the thirty
six Unions affiliated with the Trades
and Labor Assembly of Newark, O.,
be and are hereby rendered to Bro.
Wolfe, his assistants and the loyal
members of the Baltimore & Ohio
Shop Crafts for the manner in which
all engaged carried out the strike
from start to finish, and be it further
Resolved, That copies of these re-
solutions be presented to Bro. Wolfe,
the president of the Federated Shop
