Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1886-04-11

this announcement, most of the audience suddenly remembered very pressing en' ! agreements elsewhere.
 After fully half the audience had dis. persed, Reilly go, up and moved that all residents of Tombstone, who patronize the Chinese, either directly or indirectly be published and that members of the League be requested not to pa,ronize them.
 Nash, Sr., made a speech, accusing the ex-chairman of casting reflections on the executive committee. He said that com mittee was not responsible frr the boy colt, having acted under the instructions of the League. He also criticized the language used by Mir. Jones, in his res ignation.
 Mir. Jones came forward and said that the language he had used, in sending in his resignation, exactly represented his feelings on the Chinese question. He had not changed his views, at all. Was ju,t as anxious, as he had always been, to get rid of this undesirable element, but was entirely opposed to rigid boy cou. He didn't think it was right or proper to boycott business men, especially men in sympathy with the movement and men who were ready ts employ white labor, as soon as they could get it. He had tried hard himself to obtain help for some persons, among others for MT. Schoenfeld. Knew of some men who had declared themselves opposed to the Chi nese, in every respect and were perfectly willing to discharge their Chnamen, as soon as they could get white labor, whose names were on the black list. In his opinion, boycotting should only be re. sorted to as last resort. When persons had been offered suitable white help and had refused to employ them, he thought the end world justify the means and he would favor boycott, in such cases.
 Mir. Wood here remarked that the committee had never called on him.
 Mir. Bagg said he had called on him.
 Mir. Wood replied that such was not the case. The speaker had dropped into Mir. Bagg's store, but had not expected that the private conversation which then took place would be reported officially. He and MT. Binn had done as much to solve the labor problem, as any men in the league.
 After few more rather warm words, between the two gentlemen, Mir. Bagg subsided.
 The grand old man" then rose to his full height and remarked that he didn't propose to assist in any way to get any body any labor. He was not a labor agent. He thought no man of any re- spectabllity would step out of his way to even tell one of these men where to get white labor. He advised every mem- Der of the League not to put himself out, in any way shape or form, to help to get anybody white labor. Make them do it. They must and should do it!
 MT. Jones arose and, with blood in his eye, asked the speaker whether he wished to insinuate that he-Jones- was not respectable, because he had tried to help MT. Schoenfeld to find white labor.
 "The grand old man" was at once pro- fuse in his apologies, which he would ap. parently, have kept ap for half an hour, had Mr. Jones not walked off.
 Reilly, the Banter, then arose and, Tn a most excited manner, delivered a haraague, aimed at Mir. Wood and his steam laundry scheme. He spoke of harpies, who wanted to reap the fruits of poor mens' labor; vampires, who want to suck the blood of laboring men and SO forth.
 Mir. Wicks moved that no one be al lowed to speak at the meetings, unless he is member of the League.
 This motion was amended to read, "Unless by permission" and so carried.
 The chairman then charged the mem- hers to stay with the boycott to the bit ter end and make the business men come to time, after which the meeting adjorned.
