Central Labor Union Condemns Spotter System and Miners’ Report
The National Brewery Workers association opened its tenth annual convention at Kossuth Hall with President Athridge presiding. A long report urged dethroning capitalist rule and supporting an eight hour day, citing recent local victories and detailing financials. Delegates discussed international union contacts and adjourned to 9 am. The Central Labor Union debated accusations against members, debated the ash cart issue, condemned Knights of Labor over Labor Day banners, and commended marshals for handling demonstrations. Complaints from mattress workers about union-labeled mattresses and hospital supply issues were raised. Subscriptions were pledged for a miners’ meeting at Faneuil Hall and a reception for delegates to the English Trades Congress.
