Sugarm'an," prjpg'6nCity. 1 About H members of the labor un ions of tiiis city met Monday night and passed resolutions condemning State Seroitor George C. Brownell for his ' alleged failure to work ' for the passage of Senate nills 148 and 149, constituting eight liours a day's work throughout the -state. The' judiciary commitboe of the state senate also cam in or condemnation on account of its adwerse report on the bills. Three weeks' ago A. J. Mayville, a prominent Socialist leader, and pres ident of ithe Federal labor union and of the local carpenters' union, called a special (meeting of federal labor un ion, to (take some action upon this matter. A meethur of the federal labor anion and of the painters' union was held a week ago Monday but def finite action waB postponed until the secretary sf the meeting, J. H. How ard, could secure the senate records bearing on the question. But it was evident ithat some ef the union men had it in far the senator for they met last Monday night, and notwithstand ing that there are something like 900 uniori men i the city and out of tliat large number less than. 50 were pres ent, condemnatory resolutions were passed. The meeting was in the nature of a mass ' meeting and was made np of members of all the labor bodies in the city. ' The committee signing the resolutions was H. F. Marbel, W. H. Paddock, CvP. Johnson, V. G. Wil-' FRANK BUSCH, The Hotisef whisker FRANK BUSCH, The Hotiseftsrnlshei lison and Sol S. Walker. Tlie action taken can hardly be held to express tlie sentiment of the union labor men of Oregon City, as uch a very small minority of them was pres ent. In fact it is known that some of tin most active members of labor un ions in tlie meeting Monday night were men who are opposed politically to Mr. Brownell. The evidence was all in his favor and even the members of the senate judiciary committee, which reported adversely upon the bills, doclared publicly on the floor of the senate that Mr. Brownell had ap peared before the Jcommitte and urged a favorable report. Tlie resolutions themselves are in a sense misleading as they state that they were adopted by the federated trades. There is no federated trades council in the city nor is there a central body of any kind. Neither should the resolutions state that the members of (labor unions passing the resolutiongs are affiliated with federal labor union as such is not the case. It wns merely a body of union men. assemDioa together lor tlie express purpose of condemning Brownell. 'Senator Brownell will have his turn tonight. He will hold an open meet ing in the Armory and invites the public there to hear him. At that time ho will explain hie uosition and his speech will be nothing if nol iter- esting. he resolutions passed at Monday's meeting follows : We, the members of the several Labor unions affiliated with the Fed eral Labor Union, pass the followiing resolutions condemning the acton' of the judiicary committee and also of Senator George C. Brownell from this county. Therefore be it resolved. 'That it is the sense of this meeting that we condemn the action of the judiciary committee in. reporting ad versely on labor bills 148 and 149 for not letting said bills come before said senate for their action, and therefore it is resolved that Senator George C. Brownell, posing himself as a friend of labor for the purpose of securing votes in Clackamas County, did say that if he was elected senator that he would secure the passage of these labor bills reffered to above; there fore, be it resolved, that we, as union labor people, do hereby condemn the said George O. Brownell for speaking an untruth in regard to labor princi ples and also condemning him as a traitor to all organized labor in Oregon and would recommend that in the future that we as a union people, withhdraw all of our political support from the said George C. Brownell. First Game of the Season.
