Whereas. After the above PROPOSE

minutes for the above nam ed capitals ic
jurors and judge to convict, fine, SEN
tence and railroad the workers to prison;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That there can be no 60 I'd
will attached to any establishment. in
the absence Of patrons, which shows
conclusively the good will is the Joint
property of the buyer and seller.
Resolved, That boycotting is the with
drawal Of the good will and the volun-
tarp refusal to purchase or consume, or
to work with or for any person, and no
iudge-made law under free government
can make it crime.
Resolved, That the attitude of intim-
idation" Is best seen in the capitalistic
control of government through the de-
partmen;, by the brutal and murderous
onslaught by the police and militia on
peaceable and lawful meetings and pro-
cessions in Chicago, Milwaukee, st.
Louis and other cities; through the judi
cial, by the tam! ering with and usurpa'
ton of the powers of the jury, by the
outrageous and servile charges and de-
cisions where labor and capital are to be
"harmonized;" through the legislative,
by tile enactment of tramp and conspir-
acy laws.
Resolved, That we consider the action
of Captain McCullagh of the New York
police, in sending policemen into, and
breaking up a meeting of district as
sembly of the Knights of Labor, as but
the legitimate outcome of the extra-judi
cial decisions and charges of such judges
as Judge Barrett, and we call on the pub
lie to consider what would have beer
the result if he had sent his policemen
into secret meeting of grand lodge o
Odd Fellows or Masons, since such &C
ton is an invasion of the right to peace
fully assemble guaranteed BY the con
stitutlon.
Resolved, That we, the Centra Labo
union of Boston and vicinity, in com
mon with the Central Labor union o
New York, condemn the judicial out
RACES perpetrated upon labor, as mock
cry on justice, and recommend to ou
several organizations to render such ii
nancial aid to our martYred brothers II
New York, and to their families, as ma
be called for.
