No. 1110 1-2 Franklin Street, last night. The meeting was called by the Carpenters' District Council, and some of the members of the trade bodies admitted that they had some misgivings in the matter of as the object of the meeting was not fully made known.

All to Stand Together The labor organizations stated the object of the meeting to be for the put-pose of having a full understanding with business Interests of the city, and to co-operate with the merchants in the matter of "trade at home," but asked in all frankness, that if the home laborer, who made Tampa his permanent home, was not entitled in consideration thereof to have them advocate the employment of home labor, in preference to "floaters" and transient laborers, all things being equal. There were many interesting addresses made, and conditions in Tampa were gone into in detail and fully discussed, especially with respect to labor conditions and trade conditions among the merchants, and perfect harmony at all times prevailed. Never has there been a meeting in Tampa between the laboring men and the business men, many men stated, which was more satisfactory to all concerned. Resolution Adopted After a full discussion a resolution was adopted as follows: "Whereas, a joint meeting between representatives of the Merchants Association, the Real Estate Board, the Tampa Board ofTrade and representatives of the various labor organizations of the city, and it appears that to Tampa there comes annually a large number of mechanics and laborers as visitors and tourists, and "Whereas, there are in Tampa many mechanics and laborers who are permanent residents of Tampa and many home owners. "Now therefore, be It resolved, that we recommend and endorse the proposition that all persons employing labor should give the preference to permanent residents of Tampa as against the floating or transient laborer or mechanic, all things being equal, and that it is the sense of this body that the slogan "trade at home," is a reciprocal obligation and includes the patronizing of home laborers and mechanics as well as home merchants."
