Mr. Himber eaid there shon!d be no discrimi- bation between persons on account of race er color. Cornelius Clark counselled caution. The resolution, he said was simply offered in the interest of colored mechauics, with whom the members of the yarions trades’ un‘ons were pledged by obligation not to work. Every branch of mechanism bad an organ my and all their members were barded er Bot to work with negroes. Now, he wished to know what would be the result should Presiden!

Why, a strike would be ttle consequence. ie dil Would the colored meni be eq) t ald there be found, a) this ume, a sufficient number of competent cul- ored mechanics to carry on our works ia cs=- of a refusal of the white men to work with them! He doubted whether the colored men were yet prepared for the issue. Mr. Day took the eame ground. He held the Republican mechanics responsible for the existence of these compacts against negro mechanics in the various trades organizations, and said that they were foremost in ostracising negroes. The resolution was finally adopted, and Messrs. Day, Clark, Forrester and the presi- ding officer were designated as the committee to pon the President.
