THE GLOBE CONSIDERED.
As the convention was not ready to re-
port the chairman said that he had received
a communication from the typographical
union which be said the secretary would
read. The communication was as follows
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 8, 1884.
Hon. r. A. Smith, Chairman of the Democratic
County Committee of Ramsey County:
DEAR SIR-At the last regular meeting of ST.
Paul Typographical union No. 80 was instructed
TO write you in regard TO the St. Paul GLOBE
and its attitude toward the printers who happen
to belong to trades unions for the betterment of
their condition and for resistance of unwarranted
reductions in the price of labor by monopolistic
corporations and organized capital. L will not
venture into a discussion of the labor question,
bnt simply say, i'll the language of one of the
best known Democratic statesmen in this coun-
try, Abram ). Hewitt, of New York, who, in q
speech in congress. said: THE only shield,
nd Thn only
that the laboring man has i'll this
try, Is IN his trade S union" The leading Dem
ocralic papers in New York are union offices,
and, i'll fact, throughout the country where enc
mics OF organized labor haven't control. But how
Is il with the GLoEEg MOI will be employed
III the GLOBE Office who belongs to the Typo
graphical union, and no non union can
cure employment until he signs an iron-clad oath
or contract such as only the manager of the
GLOBE can draw up. Now, it is a well-known
fact that the globe is the organ Of the Demo
cratic party, and rs such it is supposed 10 rep
resent the principles of the said party. Does it
represent the party when it fights trades unions
II So then trade uniOnists have but one duty TO
perform next November.
TO show you that the GLOBE is the enemy of
the laborng man, 1 qnote from the GLOBE of
Sept. 9, 1882;
Printers Wanted.
1.-THE st. Paul GLOBE desires to secure imme-
diately twenty-five compositors. / ac-
cordingly announce that NO UNION MEN will
be employed in the GLOBE office. Com
petent men can secure permanent situations by
Immediate application, but remember retire
rnent from the Typographical union or member
ship is absolutely necessary to a situa-
ton IL p HALL
In conclusion would state that the above
needs no explanation and if the Democratic
convention fails to set its seal of condemnation
at its convention on Saturday upon the action of
irg to employ union men, the nominees of said
convention will be boycotted. Respectfully,
NJ. j. DAILY,
President Typographical Union.
Mr.. w. II. Fuller moved that the commu-
nication be laid on the table. The motion
was seconded by P. II. Kelly, and some one
called for a rising vote. The vote was taken

to 3.
