Central Labor union and the employers'
association.
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.
I nlons Denonnce Violence.
The police reporf little or no disturbance
as a result of the strike such ss occurred
Thursday. Two men, Kennet Baxter, col
ored, and Frank Stroud, have been arrested
on suspicion of having participated In 4b
depredations of Thursday, and several of
those arreated Thursday have been Identi
fied by parties they were charged with at
tacking. The teamsters end other unlona have
formally denounced these examples of vio
lence, have served official notice on their
members that any one found to be Im
plicated will be severely dealt with, and
have promised the chief of police all possi
ble assistance In suppressing violence and
bringing to account any person guilty of
such outlawry. The unions contend that
their men are not the principals In this
work, resent the Imputation that officers Of
the unions Instigated It and Insinuate that
certain employers have Inspired It as a
