A communication, expressing the sentiments
Of the meeting relative to the course pursued
by Messrs. Mitchell & Rammelsberg, here fol-
lows:
Mr.. RAMMELsBERa AND HIS HANDS.
At the conclusion Of the proceedings of the
meeting held onW ednesday laet by the Cabinet
makers Protective Union, one of the committee
came forward and remarked that Mr.. Ranf1nels-
berg, of the firm Of Mitchell & RammelsberO,
some time ago triedto induce the proprietors of
other factories to subscribe to a certain docu
ment, by which all the proprietors of the fac
tories of this city would bind themselves not
to employ a journeyman cabinet-maker who
had left factory on account of not receiving
sufficient wages. This proposed contract was
signed only by very few proprietors.
1t was also remarked that Mr.. Rammelsberg
refused yesterday, the usual payday, to pay
the men their wages, although most every one
Of them has more or less money due him by
the firm of Mitchell & Rammelsberg.
On the announcement of this tyrannnical
treatment by this said Mr.. R., there was con-
siderable excitement. The Germans expressed
themselves that IL is bad show for a man,
who is German himself, to treat his fellow
countrymen like serfs, and try to subdue them
by keeping back their well-earned money. Mr..
r. was a laboror himself, and the position he
now occupies, and what he claims, he got
through the labor and sweat Of these men. Ey-
cry one present in the meeting was in favor of
having these facts published, so that all may
know what kind of treatment Mr.. r. Is using
toward his workmen.
At the conclusion, Mr.. Willich, editor of the
German Republican, addressed the meeting
He strongly urged the claims of the working
men, and denounced, in bitter terms, the course
of some of the employers. He advocated the
strike as just, and urged all present to hold
out to the last.
The meeting then adjourned until two O'Clock
this afternoon.
