The geography class, althou, amined st a late hour, and very cursorily, did well.

MEETING YESTERDAY AT THE GOV- ERNME: OFFICE. Resolutions Reported. The Action of Superintendent Clapp Sus- tained. Typographical U: in Regard te Delegate eck. * At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the com- positors and pressmen at the Government Printing Office held a meeting, in the Docu- ment Room, the Committee of ts having issued a call, “to hear the tof the Committee on Resolauons, and to still further consolidate the friends of Lewis H. Deagness for as eae contest for his mission into Typographical Union, No. 101.” Mr. ‘Thompson called the to order; Mr. W. H. Young, Secretary. Mr. A. Spear, trom the Committee on Reso- lutions, reported the following : Your committee find that Mr. Lewis H. Pougiass acquired a knowledge of the art of Tinting 1m an office owned and conducted by is father, Mr. Frederick Douglass, a Roches- ter, N. Y.. where he labored for ten years; that when bis father’s paper was suspended, ia 1-6, he enlisted in the Sith Massachusetts regiment, in which he distinguished himeelf for bravery and soldierly conduct, especially im the attack upon Battery Wagner, in South Carolina, re- ceiving from his superior officers bonorable Meation in their dispatches. Being disabled and honorably discharged, he next taucht school in Maryland for some time. In i336 ; he emigratea to Colorado, and applied for em- ployment as a compositor at the various pri ing offices in Denver, but, on account of dis color, wns refused at all except the Daily tte. AL the last named office, owing to the difficulty of the employer to cbtain help, he was cilered workat eighty cents per thousand ems, which ‘was five cenis per thousand ems mors than the regular Union prices. and be worked with the expectation of receiving that amount. It appears that ® year previous to that time the Gazette office had been + ratted,”* but it does not appear tha: Mr. Dougliss was aware of that fact ac the time. On the contrary, he asserts, and we be- lieve with truth, that the first intimation ne ever received of it was after making application for work at the Government Printing Office at Washingtot. While employed in Denver, he desired to connect himself with the Union, and expressed the desire to members of the Denver Union, but such was the prejudice of the mem- bers against the admission of colored persons to membership, no one dared even to propose his name. After working at the Gazette office a few weeks, finding it difficult to collect his wages, be threatened to leave, when his place was supplied by a white man, who is now a mem- ber of Columbia Typographical Union No. Wi, and-until recently was employed in the Gov- ernment Printing Office. Since that time, and unt! be fogs Douglass) obtained his present Position, be has been engaged im other pursuits, not conected with printing. As soon as he obtained employment bere a werkirg card was issued to bim by the proper officer of the society. and bis application was made for membership in the Union. ‘Such is a brief history of the case so far as your committee have been able to learn, From the above recited facts it 1s clear to your committee that Mr. Douglass is in no just ‘Sense obnoxious to the charge ot ratting: much lees is it true that he is, in the language of the resolution adopted by the National Union, “an avowed rat,” because: 1. Prior to his arrival im Washington he has never bad an opportunity of bec: ming a mem- ber of the Union. although willing and anxious to join, om account of the unwillingness of meinbers to mncar the odium of proposing the name of a colored person. 2. Being deprived of membership through no feult of his own, but solely on account of the unwarranted prejudices of members of the Union, it 18 impossible that he could become a rat by violating any obligations of the Union, or by any failure to take such obligations. 3. Having never worked for less than the es- tablished scale of prices, he cannot be consid- ered a rat, ia the popular acceptation of the term among printers. 4. The failure ot the members of the Denver ‘Union to notify him that che office in which he Worked 1m that city bad been previously ratted, an¢@ his ignorance of the fact, should relieve him of all blame for that act. These facts are well known, or should have been known to the delegate who introduced and Advocated the false and slanderous resolution adopted by the National Typographical Union. Your committee can, therefore, draw but one inference from this action, viz: that his insane prejudice against tbe colored race, and his fear jest the enlightened spirit of the age would ac- cord to Mr. D. his rigkts, upon a tair and hon- est statement of the facts, led him to resort to that base means of attack at atime and in a place where the slanaered individual could not have an opportunity of defence or hearing. Your commitiee,in conclusion,are convinced that no charge of ratting can be substantiated against {Mr. Douglass, and ‘hat coor alone is the only bar to his acceptance. ‘We theretore offer for adoption the following preamble and resolutions : ‘Whereas at the recent session of the Natioral Typographical Union, a resolution was lutro duced and adopted whereby the Congressional Printer was censured for the appointment 0: H.

A.M. Clapp, as unwarranted, and do heartily approve ef and endorse nis course, and do deny the charge of “ratting” brought against Lewis H. Douglass has any foundation in fact or truth, and that we do further deno’ the action’ of the National Convention s8 uncalled for, premature. and up and that the said tioual Typo- graphical Uonvention have acted out of their proper jurisdiction im entertaining such resolu- Ucn, im endeavoring to prejudice a case yet undecided by the subordinate union, thereby committing not only agross breach of courtesy, but perpetrating & most wanton and injurious libel upon a majority of the members of Co- lumbia Typographical Union—a proceeding unsustained by established precedent, utterly at war with well-knéwn public facts, violative of our rights and privileges as honorable mem- bers of the craft, and wholly repugnant in spirit and purpose to the broad and liberal teachings of the “art preservative.” d, That the resolution adopted by the Toat National Union is inconsistent im th While itdeprecates the making of rel qualification, it denounces the onal Printer because be does not make Tace or color a qualifying test.

The ci is upon us; tbe issue made. ‘This is the hour for word: of trath and sober- ness. ‘What does this strike mean! The question should be thougntfally . The first, immediate result is the throwing out of em- ploxment of nearly eigh: hundred people who ve mo earthly interest in the matter, save as it takes from them their means of livelihood. We all know Bow dull our city is now, as it 18; the idlers would receive a noticeable increase by this action. What do we to strike for! The theory of strikes is that they are last resorts in cases where labor is oppressed too heavily to be borne, and not frivolous actions 'o be based on mere prejudices. Who will ssy that there 4s anything oppressive in this case? What Tights have been assailed! Rather than this ression has been significantly Teheved; nights have been maintained. Does the welfare of the crait demand it? I think not. I cannot see that the policy of proscribing four races of men, and making evemies and competitors of them will help us. Rather manipulate their labor into a common chaauel fer good is what 1 would advise. To make this strike more odious, Republican printers are called wpon to sacrifice & sacred principle to maintain it; to yield all tha: they bold dear that it ‘su or have alternative of being stigmatized as “rats.”’ vesiy, Unat is the hair which breaks the camel's 1 ‘What is to be gained by this strike? oes y one dream that a Republioan Government will yield 8 principle for which millions Bave ges in the United States it cannot men at 8 salary of foar dollars per eight hours’ work? 1 guess not. ‘What would be the result? “Rats” having eflected a lodgement at the Government Priut ing Office, would prove too powertal for C lumbia Union to oppose. Any difficulty he- tween it and employing printers here would be immediately solved by the great “rat” re- serves that would cluster around the Swamp. The effect upon labor in the District would be disastrous, no workingmeni'’s union bere being free from its inevitable tendencies. uestion in ® wise and ju: manner. Let us remember that not only for ourselves but for the weltare of al! labor we should act. Let us not humiliate the noble craft by acts of prejadice, bat, by performing a eingle deed of justice, receive the ppro- and sapport of the whole American people. Comrositor.
