LaOOfinS Men DISCUSS the Mar
TIM Case and Adopt Resolutions
to Settle 1t.
I'VE didn't come here to compromise"
said Chairman Emil Constant, at the
labor mass meeting in Turner hall yes
terday afternoon. 1--WE hate that word.
We have the means and the power to
fight and win, and we prefer to fight to
a finish. We ask you to use only union
bread. Mr.. Martini does not make
union bread. Let us show our strength
in this matter"
Turner Hall was we'll filled yesterday
afternoon with members of the differ
ent labor organizations of the city to
discuss the boycott which has been Or
dered on Martini's bakery by the Bakers
union of the city. Thomas II. Lucas, of
Minneapolis, was the first speaker in
trOduced by the chairman. Mr.. Lucas
devoted his entire speech to a rehaShing
OF Henry Georges Progress and Pow
erty. The civilization of to-day" said
he, lis made up OF avarice, greed and
pride. The only thought and ambition
of men is to get as much of
the product of labor as pos
sible without performing any work
themselves. The barOnS of former gen
eratiOnS are the manufacturers of to-
day. They have appropriated the land
and all the agents of nature which God
intended to be as free as light and air,
and the great majority of mankind are
their slaves. There has been too much
advancement in the matter of machin-
cry. and now women and children are
put to do our work and our wages are
cut down. If any fine buildings are
erected the rich, not the poor, enjoy the
use of them. Rich raiment, railroads,
all produced by our labor, are enjoyed
by the capitalists. Each millionaire
simply represents the poverty of so
many laboring men. The poor man in
vents and the rich man appropriateS.
The sin of private
OWNERSHIP OF LAND,
and charging interest for the use of
money were denounced in vigorous
terms. after which the speaker called
on the lab0ring men to vote only the la
Dor ticket, and beware of traitors in the
camp-that is those who might disagree
with him on this point. He closed with
the following in regard to the Martini
boycott: Now, workingmen, sustain
that strike until the right of the union
is recognized. hope that every labor
ing man will use his utmost endeavOr to
boycott this bakery. Let all of you go
out and distribute circulars. They may
cast one or two into jail; but they will
soon get tired of it,
j. Z. McGaughey, of Minneapolis, was
next introduced. He explained "why
union men refused to work with non
union men," The speaker compared
the present labor organizations with the
Sons of Liberty, and declared that the
nOn-union mantle "scab"-waS re-
garded by his union brother in the same
branch of labor in much the same light
as is Benedict Arnold 10y the American
| peOple-a traitor and an outcaSt. Il
offer no apology for strikes. They are
wrong, but they are the only
selves against oppression" said he. 81
believe in an honest days work for an
| honest days pay. and we're going to
have it. LET Martini'S bread alone until
he recognizes liberty and prOgreSS.''
Chris Gaefke, of st. Paul, was the
next speaker. His subject was: ''The
JOurneymen Bakers and Union Bread.'
| The address WITS in German and well re-
ceived by that part of the audience.
| Here the chairman announced that Mr..
| Martini or any of his representatives
would be heard. None appearing, a Sc
rleS of resolutions were read and
adopted by the meeting. They are as
| follows:
| THE RESOLUTIONS.
| Whereas, Believing that the cOntinu-
alton of the present differences between
Mr.. Martini and the labor unions of this
city will cause each party concerned
much useless loss, and will promote and
extend ill-feeling among our citizens,
therefore be it
Resolved, That the following plan OF
arbitration be submitted: Let a COM
mittee of twelve be chosen, six of whom
are to be business men and six members
of labor unions. Ofthe business men two
are to be chosen by the chairman of the
meeting, and four by Mr.. Martini. OF
the members of the labor unions two
are to be chosen by Mr.. Martini and
four by the joint committees of the
JOurneymen Bakers union andT rades
and Labor assembly. The above com
mtttee is to receive evidence and argu-
ments from both sides and make a bind
| ing decision.
Just after the adoption of the resolu-
ton an incident occurred which shows
that, while the labOring men of st. Paul
believe in agitation, they are not anar-
chlsts. A blatant anarchist from Mil
waukee, Blymeyer by name, had several
times Interrupted the meeting to speak
of the dead anarchists. He finally
gained the floor, and at once
began to shout out a highly inflamma-
tory speech in German. But he had
hardly commenced when the audience
got up and began to file out. Anarchist
| Blymeyer then subsidized and began to
peddle copies of the Arbeiter Zeitung
containing the pictures and biographies
of the men who were hanged.
