This is the llrst time In the history of the American Federation of Labor that a resolution of tills kind has been passed upon without llrst being re ferred to the executive council. It was generally understood hj- the delegates that the resolution emanated fiom the council, and the delegates having been made familiar with the merits ot the strike bv their contact with the strik ers and Hie people, it was deemed un necessary to have the resolution re ferred. What It Means. The adoption of tills resolution nie.inrt that Scr.iutoii Is to become the battle ground of 11 big struggle between the corporations and the labor unions, ac cording In the beliefs of President: Malum, of the -stieot railway employes' union. The cuiporatlons, so he Is in formed, have taken up the light of tho ruilwiiy company and stand ready to make good the losses the company is sustaining by loason of thu boycott . The stieot railway union has now suc ceeded In securing the hacking of llie. Ainoiican Federation of Labor, and Mr, .Million proposes to make the fullest use of the vast power the Federation wields. .Mr. Malum yesioiday exhibited a telegiam t rniii lluiler, Pa., annouiuing that the moil had boon forced into a strike by the discharge of their griev ance committee. A few months ago, the men on the llutler road were or gani.ed, with the acquiescence of Hie company's olllclals, F.vorythlnty was moving along haiinnuioiisly until last week, when iho company suddenly evi denced opposition to the union, Satur day, the grievance iiiniiiiltten waited on the Mipciiiilciiiloui to have a con ference, and Instead of n'cuting t, th nieinhiis one and all received their ills, charges, The union nl once wont Into session and ileclaied a stilke.
