The majority of the members of Coiambis Typographical Uniop, No. 10!, im this city Dave addressed a communication to the Presi dent of the International Typographical! Union, im answer to the address of the minority of the Union, which asked for & revocation of the charter ot No. 101, the granting ofa new charter if necessary. After referrin to the ———— of the meeting of the nority, on 26th of Jane, the majority im this address say that for some time past an pomp bas been manifested toward the mem- bers of the Union employed at the Government rimtipg office by those employed elsewhere. iy that this animosity arises on the application of a colcred man for membership, conoarat ming which affair they give the follow- ig history: “A few days before the regular May meeti of the union Mr. Lewis H. Dor obtains employment at the Government Printing ice. He at the same time made application for membership, and obtained from the pro} officer of the Union a permit to work until case could be acted upon. The news spread Tapidiy. It created great excitement, and 8 grand rally at the May meeting of those opposed to th.s recognition of the right of colored men to earn au honest livelihood on equal terms with whites, Deeming it impoli- tic to oppose the admission of Mr. Douglass on the ground cf color, the minority resorted to the rubterfage of denoorcing bim as a “rat,” As soon as hs name, with others bad been re. ferred to the Committee on Nominations— which commtt-eis charged by the constitution with the duty of exsmining into all applica- tions for _membership—and before the com- mittee had time to report, this minority be- jamlorous for immediate action. Reso- re introduced, which asserted u Douglass hed been rejected by the Denver nas An improper person, censured the incial Secretary for granting him a permit to work, and ordered a revocation of said per- mit. The authors of this resolution, knowing its utter falsity and frarful of its contradiction demanded and loudly insisted upon the pre- vious question. A scene of the wildest con- fusion followed. A point of order was now rai ed, that after an application for member- ship bad been referred to the Commitee on Nominatious for i before the Com: e had time to report, reso- Tations prejndging the case could not be en- tertained. The Chair sustained the point of order, The contusion now became sv great that it was found impossible to transact any other business, and the Union, by a vote of 158 to 150, adjourned. Before the ume for our next Tegular ineeting arrived the National Typo- graphical Union assembled at Albany. One of the delegates trom this Union, elected before {Dis question came up or was foreseen, acting im the interest of the minority, without any in- structions from the Union, without the kno ledge, advice, oF consent of its membership, in- troduced a resolution, which was adopted by that body, censuring the Congressional Printer tor employing L. H. Douglass, avowea rat,” calling upon Columbia Union to reject pplication, and pledging the support of the joual Union in such action. ‘Thisaction of tke National Union was unjust, absurd, and usparalleled as will be seen by the tollowing considerations: 1. The National Union bad no jurisdiction of the matter, and consequently its action was extra-judicial and not binding. Each surbodi- Bate union 1s of a necessity the judg» of the qualifications of applicants for inembership, subject to the requirements of the constitution, ional Union can only interfere in case of appeal.

Douglas is “rat,” or one who works for less than the Union prices, but that on the contrary, the proprietor of the office where Mr. Douglass worked in Denver, swears he always paid him Union prices. Reterring to the exciting proceedings of the June meeting they say +*Knowing that great injustice had been in- flicted upon Mr. Douglass and bis friends by the minority of Columbia Union and by the National Union, we determined to use all coxstitutional means in our power to defeat their schemes and elect Mr. Douglvss. At the regular June meeting of Columbia Union there was an unusually large attendance of members, the oppovents of Mr. Douglass coming in fall force with black balisin their wekets The majority of the Committee on Kom uauons Teported favorably on the appli- cation of Mr. Dougiass. A minority—one member—ot the Committee reported adversely, ‘Without, however, adducing any ratisfactory Teason for his rejection.

The motion to lay the minority report on the tabie was a test vote, The reeult—229 against 16i—showed that the friendsof Mr. Douglass hada large majority, bat rot atwo-tbirds majority, which is neccessary to elect. Ifa ballot had been taken at that meeting it would have resulted im the rejection of Mr. Douglass. The conse- quence would bave been ® compulsion of the members of the Union employed at the Goy- ernment printing office. numbering over 270 to strike. Concerning the efforts of the minority to break up the Union by & revocation of its charter, they retort by saying article thirteen of the Constitution provides that this Union shall not be dissolved as long as fifteen mem- bers desire to rve its organization. That the majority, which is over two hundred, are determined to preserve the Union. Alluding to the question of color they say:— “A review of the facts in the case of Mr. Doug- lass cannot fail to convince any unprejudiced mind that the entire ground of objection to m is on acceunt of his color. The less bypocritical of his opponents admit of this, and even the most violent and unfair leaders Of the minority formally offered to comprimise the difficulty by granting Mr. Douglass a per- mit from the Union to work as long as be de- sired, psovided we would withdraw his name from the Union, thus virtually confessing that be was a fair printer, and they were willing that they should work, but were determined to event the admission of colored men into the ‘nicp. This proposition, it is needless to say, ‘was promptly rejected by the advocates of Mr. Douglass on the ground that it was in violation of the letter and spirit of the constitution of the Union tolicense rats, (the minority claim that Mr. Douglass is a rat,) or to work with them; thay if Mr. Douglass was a fair printer he should be admitted into the Union; if not, he should not be allowed to work in a tair office; that the printers of the Government Printing Office could not consent to work with 8 fellow-craftsman who was deemed unworthy to become a member of the Union. ‘We do not believe that culcr should be made'a bar to the admission of Mr. Douglass, be- cause— 1.
