Association called on the acting Mayor
and stated that when the association at

they we're surprised to find in the hall q
number of policemen, who requested the

called to ascertain the cause of the inter-
ference by the police. The acting Mayor
replied that for several days many
rumors had prevailed of the meetings OF
= number of societies on the Sabbath,
and he observed that the shoemskers
we're to meet at the building whore the
bakers BY an advertisement had requested
five hundred men 70 assemble. Bellev-
ing, in view of what had occurred North,
that certain missionaries of Communism
might be here, and that until the crisis
had passed 1t were better not 10 agitste
the labor qvestion, he had directed the
chief of police to suppress All meetings
for the present in the interest OF the
whole people. Had the shoemakers
notified him of the proposed meeting
he would gladly have furnished n
police force to preserve order
and any interference from the ruffisn el-
ement. If at any future day they pro-
posed TO meet, and notify him of time
and place, he would take this precsution.
The committee expressed itself satisfied,
and gave assurance that the society is on
the side of law, and against anything
which would disturb the harmonious re-
