dietary Committee who had been instructed
to take into consideration utlerances and adj
dresses to Mayor Kalloch and 10 report what
If any incendiary language he has used pub
| licly and to report proper action to be taken
by the board in premises, filed a long report
reviewing the history OF the labor agitation and
the part borne in it by kallocl, finding that
ne ehasencouraged the lawless element, advised
them to parade the streets and endeavored to
keep them in such disposition and temper
as to commit an outbreak whenever it should
suit his purpose. That he has impeached the
honesty of the whole community, accused
various branches of the city government of
corruption and dereliction of duty and under
the pretense of counseling the mob against
| violence insiduously advised them to be in
readiness for bloodshed, and warned them of
the authorities. They expressed the opinion
that kalloch is unscrupulous and unprinci-
pied and devoid of integrity and fidelity to
the public interests and that the time has ar
! rived for the Board to express their condem.
nation of his acts and recommend that prompt
action be taken to vindcate the fair fame of
the municipality by judicial inquiry into Kali
| loch case The motion,was put by Mayor kal-
| loch who announced On UicG rOce vote that
| it was carried. Roll was called, resulting in
the unanimous vote for Its adoption. Res
nlution was then adopted authorizing the
Finance Committee to cause judicial pro-
| ceedings to be Instituted against the Mayor
for his removal from office and empowering
them to employ counsel and prosecute the
matter to speedy termination. Throughout
the reading of the report and resolution
kalloch appeared cool and unmoved, appear
ing to consider only the dignity of his posi-
ton as presiding officer of the Board.
