A conference between commit

the Trades Union has been held at
Columbus, Ohio. The purpose of
the meeting was to consolidate
these two great labor organiza

the other was willing to - grant,
failure was the result. This re
sult is, we think, best for working-
men, and for the public generally.
The centralization of power conse
