Kann, Sons Werk o the F Street Sewer Not to Be Resumed—The Painters Their Troubles. The regular weekly meeting of the Cen- tral Labor Union, which was held last evenirg. was largciy attended and the pro- ceedings for the greater portion, very in- teresting. i President Milford Spohn presided and Mr. J. J. Crowley was secretary. The matter of the employment of plaster- ers at the new Consumers’ Brewery was brought to the attention of the Central Labor Urion by Delegate Proctor of the Operative Plasterers’ Union, who stated that hotwithstanding Secretary E. L. Jor- dan of the board of directors of that com- pary had promised that members of the Opcrative Plasterers’ Union who applied would be given work, he had not done so, and that since thon eleven more men have been given employment on the job, all of whom were members of No. 1644, Knights of Labor. The report led to an excited discussion, during which it was charged that ihe Cen- tral Labor Union had not been fairly treated in the matter. The delegates from the Painters’ Union reported that the painters employed on the brewery were exclusively K. of L. men, and that nembers of members of the for- mer union who applied there for employ- ment were refused work. The fellcwing preamble and resolutions bearing on the subject were unanimously adopted: “Whereas, it has been reported to tie Certral Labor Union by the delegates from Painters’ Union, No. 170, Brotherhood of Painters end Decorators of America, that members of their union are being discrim- inated against by the Consumers’ Brew- ing Compeny in the employment of paint- ¢rs on their plant: therefore, be it “Resclved, That the Central Labor Union will not tolerate such discrimination against any union affiliated with it, and that equally as many members of Union No. 170 must be employed by that com- pany within forty-eight hours as are em- ployed from the Knights of Labor, and that a ccmmittee be appointed to present this resolution and make this demand. The chair appointed Messrs. Owens, Mc- Crink and Shandley to carry out the reso- lutions. A communication was read from Secre- tary Herry B. Wissner of Cigar Makers’ Local Union, No. 110, calling the attention of the Central Labor Union to the proposed label bill, which the cigar makers hope to have Congress enact into law at the present session. The paper was referred to the legislative committee. The Sewer Work. The committee which was appointed at the previous meeting of the Central Labor Union to call on the District Commissioners and request that work on the F street sewer be resumed reported that they were informed by the Commissioners that the work was suspended because the appropri: tlon was exhausted, and that they had no cbjection to having the work resumed if the contractor was willing to wait for Con- Sress to make an appropriation for the purpose. The committee further reported that they afterward called «n the contractor, Mr. Lyon, and told him what the Commission- ers had said relative to the subject, but that he was not inclined to push the work under such conditions. The committee werc thereupon discharged from further consi eration of the subject. Delegate McCrink of the Engineers’ Union reported that Secretary Jordan of the Con- sumers’ Brewery had requested him to send a union engineer to the new brewery, and he had done so; but upon the arrival of the latter there he found a ron-union engineer at work, and the superintendent refused to employ the man sent by Mr. McCrink. ‘The bricklayers asked that as the work ou the Columbia and Maryland electr: railroad has been resumed, the secretary of the Centra! Labor Unien’ be instgueted to communicate with ‘he secretary of the Baitimore Federation of Trades and ask him to request that that body have. if pos- | S sible, none but union men the latter body having jurisdiction over th matter so 4s the traces unions are con- cerned. The request of the bricklayers was grante A dispatch was read from Mr, Geora> Edmonston, alternate delegate of the Cen- tral Labor Union to the American Federa- mployed there, tion of Labor, row holding its annual ses- sion in Cincinnati, that everything was favorable to Washington as the future headquarters of the American of Labor. After the adjournment of the Central Federation ber Union the committee called on Jerdan and had a talk with him. Mr. Jo: dan, the committee late ed, refuse pesitively to emptoy any painters belongir to Union No. The committee wi however, go before a meeting of the boar of directors which takes place today or to- norrow and renew their demand there. The following officers for the ensuing wave been elected by the Stereotypers: President, John J. Burns: vice pre. ident, A. T. Campbell: treasurer, George H. Thayer; secretary, Joseph F. ‘Torrens; ser— geant-at-arms, Thomas B, Waters. eS SS ie Working It on. “Thomas Quinine! called Harper in the Police Court.

Vice President Stev- enson presided. Rev. Dr. A. J. Brown, sec- teary of the board of foreign missions of the- Presbyterian Church of New York; Rev. Dr. J. R. Davies, aiso of New York, and Rev. William S. Bannerman of Gaboon, Africa, made addresses. Urgent appeals were made for the extension of missionary ¢ffort in the various fields, A letter from Mrs. Isabella. Bird Bishop, the traveler, was read, showing the condition of mis- sion work in Corea, and pointing out the need for immediate extension in that coun- try.
