APPEAL TO wORKlSGMES PROM THE CENTRAL EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE OP ILLINOIS.
The following address has been issued by the
workingmens Central Executive Committee Of Illinois:
FELLOW CITIZENS The undersigned have learned with
and regret that few prOfesscd friends OF the
eight-h0ur movement have, within the past two days
resOrted 10 means which every Ia"aDlhg cltzen must
deprecate-mOb violence TO secure the adoption of
pn cpe which the true friends OF the cause are endeay
Oring obtain by peaceful and lawful measures. 10 j.
needless that these misguided people do not repre-
any manner the sentiments OF the great body OF
Workngnen Neither have they, nor VIII they, under
circumstances receive encouragement in their Grim

viii bring upon themselves deserved punishment. We
bfeve that the eghthOuT law Will prove 10 be Of great
the wOrkngnen, and what benefits their
<On must be OF advantage TO the public 80 large, and

eSTBestly believing IN the business Uf cause,
distinctly counsel our friends not to surrender the pr

have been taken which Will enable the working
