Anthor Explains Purpose, Mr. Bell, who Is president' of Central Labor union, explnlned his resolution by saying that It was simply a declaration to the public that union labor was In favor of a settlement and to that end proposed this as a peace measure to the employers. He said that If the business men rejected this proposition, which he thought they would not, they would lose the sympathy of the people and that "outraged public sentiment would assert Itself and demand of the business men that they accede to some proposition of compromise." Bell further declared that each side had to give and take or there would never b an end of the present turmoil, which was dis astrous to the city In every line of Indus try and life. Those who were molt active In support ing the Bell resolution Were Harry Mc Danlels of the Retail Clerks' union, who made the motion for Its adoption; Harry McVey of the Plumbers, L. V. Ouye of the Barbers' and chairman of the Central Labor union arbitration committee; C. E. Hart of tlje Walters' union. The active opponents were John J. Kerrigan of the Carpenters' and Peter Klewlts ot the Leather Workers'. These men preferred to haev the matter of a settlement left to other means and resources. At the meeting Boot and Shoe Workera, No. 191, announced Its withdrawal from Central Labor union and that they had no business agent. E. J. Hauck Is president and W. S. Lee secretary of this union. No reason was given for this action. The laundry workers' scale, making th minimum weekly wage of Ita members $4.50 Instead of 52.50 wsk adopted. A resolution recommended by the arbitration committee that Gooa hotel be declareJ unfair because It wss "harboring" nonunion employes of the Union Pacific shopa waa adopted, as was one declaring Harry Wardsworth's saloon unfair and another from the Colo rado State Federation of Labor for Inter vention with the president of the United States for the appointment of a successor to Judge Caldwell of the Eighth circuit court of appeals, who Is about to retire, who Is fair to organized labor, and an other one on request of the Meat Cutters' union that Hood's butcher shop at Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets be declared unfair.
