The parade of the locked out brewers took
place this forenoon. From an early hour the
men began to assemble at Clarendon Hall.
where two meetings were held. The meeting
of the Journeymen brewers in the large
hall upstairs, was presided over by Jacob
Huber. The drivers assembled in the COM
mittee-room, where Hermann Folcke welded
ne gavel. Both meetings were orderly and
en- nusiastic.
Az the jo~urneymon's meeting a telegram
was read from Cincinnati saying that q num-
Der of journeymen and saloonkeepers had
purchased q controllingsnumber of shares in
the Banner Brewery, aud that the pool was
broken in that city. This announcement was
received with cheers.
1t was after II o'clock when the meetings
broke up and the men formed in line in
Thirteenth street. Police Capt. j. II. Nc
Cullngh and thirty five men of the Four
teenth Precinct were present to soc that no
one assaulted the iourneymen brewers.
A noticeable feature of the parade was the
absence OF flags and music, two small white
banners bearing the legend The Locked
Out Brewery Workmen" being the only
emblems displayed. There, were about
six hundred men in the line of march,
which lay through Fourth avenue to
MIRA TO IuIhl street, To BROADWAY to the
CITY Hall, where the parade rested.
1t was asserted that the trouble would as
sumo another and n sensational phase during
tho present week, but what the sensation
would be could not be as%certained.
Capt. Mccullough sent his squad down to
the Stewart Building, and they remained
there, while Secretaries Herbrand, of the
Brewerymen's National Union; ~Kurzenknabe,
of the Lourneymen Brewers, Union. and
Charles Pommer, walking delegate Of the
BreWerymen'B unions, went to zee Mayor
Hewitt.
A Chinaman with his pigtail curled around
ms head was waiting for an audience with
business. He said he wanted to get
married, and the Mayor said, in his charac,

and get one.

The bosses are too much for you," con-
tinued the Mayor.
Mr.. Pommer said: They have too much
capital"
Tn Mayor returned YES. You have the
same rights as they have, but you have lost
the fight and are beaten. You must swallow
your pride"
We did not strike; the bosses locked us

Mayor; " now they have struck"
O." Can you advise us how to get bread for

up your hands as the easiest way to get
bread and go to work on the best
terms you eau make. If the bosses had come
to ask my advice l would have told them to
deal with these men as generous AS possible"
The Mayor got into q discussion with
