It was a remarkably good parade con-
sidering the Indictment weather, and q
great credit 10 the organizations rep
resented 1t Is generally conceded that
il has never been surpassed In this city,
and had there been favorable weather it
would have been an immense demon
stratiOn. The procession marched
about the streets an hour In the rain
before ranks were broken.
The programme announced that
speaking would begin az . p. M, but il
was after three o'clock when the
speakers were taken TO the Eiysian
Theater in carriages, headed by brass

ence in waiting at the rink, and it was
not long until the large building was
crowded.

ex-Mayor w. II. Brown made the ad-
dress Of welcome. He extended on the
part Of the city q hearty welcome to
visitors and commended organized labor
for the zeal displayed in contending
with the elements In their demonStra-
ton.
Richard Robertson, Of Wheeling, was
the first speaker introduced. he said
il was a pleasure 20 meet so many fel-
low-laborers. He had been instrumental
in assisting TO place several labor or
CARNATIONS on their feet in Bellaire,
and he was glad to see a demonstration
OF their adherence Co the faith that In
union there is strength. He would not
argue politics, but would state
that wOrkngmen had been TAX
ing too little interest In the political
affairs. They need TO show the
old parties what power they can be.
He showed that in the three great
strikes of the country which have de-
manded public attention that they were
not defeats for the wOrkingmen, not
withstauding the men had TO give up
the strike in two instances. The Home
stead affair had dealt death blow to
PinkertOnism; the New York railway
strike will hasten governmental con-
trOl of railways, and the Tennessee
strike will be the beginning Of the work
TO wipe out prison labor
John Coyle, OF Homestead, was intro
duced. Mr.. C0yle is a man of meagre
school education, but possesses con
siderable ability as speaker,
speaking without notes Of any
kind, aud he readily caught the sympa-
thy Of the audience. He began by say
Ing that labor is noble and holy, that
labor had right 70 organize for its
protection against mOnopolieS. He
then gave an account of the causes
which led 20 the struggle now on at
Homestead. That the prime object of
the mills management was to wipe out
the Amalgamated Association. He said
that the men would stand firm if the
strike lasted two years. They were

crush. 1t was the great fight making
for organized labor throughout the
country and the men should receive
hearty support FROM labor OrganiZa-
tons.
J. III. Burt, Of Wheeling, was next in
troduced, giving some of the primary
principles Of labor organizations, aud
what vet remained 10 be done TO make
American labor free and untrammeled.
He contended that the States must pass
laws prohibiting the State guards from
doing police duty In guarding property.
This concluded the exercises at the
