Swiss Work Unions

[Translation.]

Glarus, June 4, 1865.

To the Editor of the Bund, in Berne:

The undersigned has the honor to enclose you herewith lists of the autograph signatures of the Swiss work-unions, in the different sections of this canton, to be appended to the address of sympathy and condolence to be sent to the people of North America, with the request that you deliver it to the proper authorities for that purpose. If I am not mistaken, there are 515 signatures in all. I am very sorry I could not send it sooner; but it is not my fault. I also have to regret that the lists are in no better order. In the name of the Swiss Central Union:

L. GRIST

President.

(Here follow 515 names.)
