ters BOmbastically Denounced.
NEW YORK, July IA meeting of the
SOciallstic Labor party was held tonight
in Cooper Union and was attended by
$500 men and women. The nominal pur-
pose OF the meeting was to denounce the
action of the authorities In the conviction
OF the Thesis D0y cotters and blackmaiI@
ers. Robert Blissert presided, and de-
clared that the meetings of the party had
been too few. He said that for years
capitalists bad sought to draw attention
from the real issue OF the day by
all sorts OF subterfuges. President
BIissert referred to the interruption
by the police OF the laIe
meeting OF District Assembly No. Ii
of the Knights eg Labor in the same hall.
The time Tor our revenge will come
sOOn," said the speaker. '''Fhe ballot ia
ali powerful in America. Use it'' Then
President Blissert read the resolutions
These set forth that the 1h eas
boyootters 'were convicted by
jury of capitalists aud sentenced
by a Judge (Barrett) who was
servile to capitalistic interests; that the
boycott was ordered In the best interests
OF organized labor, and that as the yer-
dict branded boycotting as a crime it was
and sentence as a brutal Outburst of
class hatred against the growing power
OF organized labor, and that we consider
the victims as martyrs in the labor
cause" 1t was resolved that ''one OF our
mightiest weapons, the boycott, ,"shouId be
held on to, Notwithstanding the arbitrary
judicial decisions, and that every work
ngman should discontinue all personal
and business relations with all those
officials VINO aided in securing conviction
aud their business friends; also, that
financial aid be extended TO the
families of martyrs. John Swinton
was introduced as a champion of
liberty. lie denounced the judiciary ss
being corrupt. Referring TO Cardozo and
Barnard, he stated that Supreme Court
Judge had tried 10 bribe him. The edittr
of the Volks Zejtung referred to Judge
Barrett, and "defed him and his court.r
Editor Shewitch was willing to become
martyr. 1t would be a shame If the
freedom OF the press were attacked
through his paper, but the greatest good
would come to the cause Of labor by such
an act. Then the working masses would
see what a bitter mOckery their so called
liberty was. John Mackin and Edward
King also spoke. ALI the speakers wers
loudly applauded.
