The PRESIDENT again mado Few
remards. He said :-If wo can't have
ono thing we mast have the other; it |
is work or bread. Iftbe Council win
not establish work they must furaish
bread. If man really wants bread |
he should have 1t; he has right to
cry out for it, and If he don't he is a
coward in the community. BY the

but what they should have 1t. We
must get bread-if not by legal means
then by illegal means. would let
my bones bleach in Jail before l suffer
for bread. If our liltle ones cry with
hunger and we cannot help them how
in the name of God can we stand it.
(Here Mr.. Owen Marlow persisted
in having say, and the speaker paus-

What would you do? Why the man
who would not sacrifice his life for hi,
little ones is no man at all. II Council

demand of them labor or bread.

The President said he would advise
his hearers to forbear; but when for
bearance ceases to be a virtue you
must jump right in and walk right at
it.
The voice OF Owen NARROW was
again heard, but an attempt to eject
him second time nearly. oc casioncd
fight, and he was allowed 10 remain.
The chair said that he must have
order.
Calls were made for various persons,
and just as the meeting was getting
impatient the water committee
Messrs. Pyle; Paynter Farrell, Jones
and VIM McCanby-entered the Hall,
Mr. Pyle inquired what was wanted,
and the chairman said the meeting
wanted, to know whether or the reser-
voir could be resumed or not. The
resolutions were then read by Mr..
O'Donnell.
Mr.. Pyle said that owing to the small
amount of money Council had to
spend on the reservoir (about $4,000 it
would be better to appropriate this
sum to the pu. chase oil provisions, TO
| be distributed among the poor than to
spend it for labor on the reservoir,
which would be of no use to the city.
Council is now in session. trying to
devise plan by which work o the
reservoir can not only be rest ne but
continued. Council has no legal au-
thority 10 raise the money. and we
shall need the unanimous vote and en-
tire good faith of Council to make any
measure of relief effective.
Ar. James Burke inquired il there
was any possibility of resuming
work.
| Mr.. Pyle said the work could be
resumed for short time, but only 100
men could be employed. and the dii'
ticulty was in selecting them. He in

distribute the work among the men,
and the President related his plan. as
stated 10 his opening remarks.
|, Messrs. Paynter and Candy were also
called upon and spoke to the same eff.
fec, as did Mr.. Pyle. They expressed
their sympathy for the men, and said
they would do anything in their power
to keep the work going on the reser-
voir.
MIR. Martin Farrell was next called
upon. He said:
