THE PEOPLE SPEAK.
CHAIRMAN LYNCH READS THE
ADDRESS To THE AMERICAN PEO-
PIE.

At the request of many hundred
people the BEE publishes this week
the address of the late Convention
as it was read by Auditor Lynch:
The colored American citizens
of the United States, in convention
assem- bled, respectfully submit
their grl, veuceS to the country
and ASK "A avOrable decision at tia,
bar of public opinion. We rpgrpr
that there exists Ia certain parts of
our c,CntrN "A condition of aft ,Ir>
winch renders II necessary Tor the
cOloTpd American CItIZpn> TO meet
in SrprIa e body for the consider
eratIon at grave and important
QurSii ms which are national iu
their character. Being part of
the cItlzru>hip of the country, we
can assure our cOuntTNmpn that W..
do not meet Ia SeptIate cunVpn-
ton from choice. nut from ntcpSSI-
~. Ii is brcanSee We have been
made special and distinct "hj-ct of
attack aud oppression that We are
compelled 10 meet in Spperate con-
vpntion aS coluIed American riti-
zenS, AMI suggest ways aud means
To remedy the evils of which We
complain, and to prevent if posi-
bic a repetition of them.
We call attention TO the fact,
which 10 we'll Informed person who
has any regard for the truth will
deny, that the popular elections,
Federal as well as local, In manv
states of the south are in great
measure nO'hing mOIe than farci-
Cal fOrmalitieS. The votes of col.
Ored American citizens in such
states are suppressed by violence
or neutralized by fraud. The fact
has also been made apparent with
in the last few years that the differ.
ence OF opinion among any party
aflilia ions on the part of colOred
American citizens in those states
afford no relief and bring no RENE
dy for the wrongs of which we com
plain. 1t seems to be the settled
policy Of one of the two principal
political parties in said states to
regard negro suffrage as an evil
within itself, and that the leaders
and members of said party are de-
termined TO violently suppress the
votes of cOlored American citizens,
it matters not with what party
they affiliate.
Contrary TO the letter and spirit |
Of the Constitution and laws of our |
country, our rights and privileges |
in the states referred to are not on
ly curtailed aud abriged but pos
lively denied. We are made the
special object of unfriendly state
legislation. Our wives and our
daughters, our mothers ahd our
sisters are forced, in consequence of
such legislation, to occupy seats
when travelling, In filthy and inferi.
or cars. COlored American citizens
when convicted of petty offenseS,
through unfriendly courts are sub
jected while undergoing the SEN
tences of said court TO much cru eI
and inhuman treatment as to make
their condition worse than abiect
slavery.

A STRIKE DEMANDED
In a Circular Issued by the Head Of
the Miners Association.
COUCHED IN STRONG LANGUAGE
The Writ of Mandamus in the Calvin 8.

ESPECIAL rELEeRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.i
PUNxsUTAwNEY, June 6. Another
effort is being made by the officials of the
miners organization to inaugurate gen.
eral strike, in this district for the district
price.
The following circular will be distributed
among the miners tonight:
MINERS, ATTENTION.
To the Miners of Division 8, U. M. W. Of A.,
Greeting:
By deferring action to a more opportune
time. we had hoped to obtain the advance in
wages which the Columbus scale entities US.
West of us the scale is being paid, and many
shipping North and East have granted the ad-
vance. The tyrannical action of the Bell,
Lewis and Yates Coal Mining Company in dis
charging so many of their men for that
which they are justly entitled, coupled
with the cruelty and injustice practiced by the
Rochester and Pittsburg Coal Mining Com
pany, now under the same control, renders
further forbearance criminal.
Since conflict has been precipitated that
seems inevitable, we, therefore, ask all miners
in Division to cease work on the 7th OF tnls
month, and to remain away until the following
has been granted:
First-Five cents per ton advance in the
price of mining, all other labor TO pc pai9
In the same proportion, said advance TO De paio
until May 1, 1891.
Second-That this infamous system of victim
izing be abolished. The injustice OF TINS sys-
tenn is too well known to need comment hlse
in your strength and refuse longer to pc terror
lied into compliance with unjust conditions.
Trusting that hearty and united action will
bring success, fraternally, JOHN B. RAE,
NV. and President U. M. w. of A.
W. B. WILSON, Dist. M. w. and President.
