A Set OF Reso utions Unanimously
Adopted at the Trades Assembly Meet
ing Declare Agsinst the Report of
Morgan's vestigatinR Committee,
The Trades Asse mbly Of this city held
largely attended meeting last nigh, and
among the other things that came up for
consideration was the re, ort OF the com
mittee sent out by the R.puolicans OF
Hometown TO ascertain whether
Thomas II. Morgan, taeir eau
didate for Congress, was ia
bor crusherm OF a friend OF the working
men, The committee, 1t will he remtm~
bered, was IN ale up OF a number OF Re
puhlicans ami instead OF makl1R tho
rough investigation, passeu 'hrougn !ne
Morgan works and after "lnterviewing"
few Republican workm'n WHO are AFRAID
TO say tnat their lives are their own weut
hack TO Y ungatuwn aud proceeded to
make a report, which gave the recognized
foe of labor n good wiitswash. The
Trades Assembly here is IN ide up uf Re-
pubicaus, Democrats, Prohihlhonists aud
Peoples Party mon, aud the Assembly Is
| a non-poIitical on, but che members 90
not feel like letting AZ Insult pass without
| resenting IL. A resolution was offered by
| one OF the Rspublicau members, ant upon
| motion was carried unanimously. Here
are the
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
| WHEREAS, 1t has come 10 our notice
through the press that a committee pur
porting to be represeutatv OF organic -d
/ labor went to Alliance To investigate the
| charges made against I ham IS X. Morgan
| as being opposed To- orgai'lE-u lahor' anu
/ that such committee di sign report
partially ex ueratlnR him rom such
charges without cousuiting or g ting any
information from the organized labor OF
the county.
WHEREAS, We believe that when repre-
| sentatiyes Of orgsnlZ d labor make an
| investigation OF sunn cbdrActor, organ
| lied LABOR or its representative should tie
| consulted, for the reason that when &
| committee of that klnd goes into any
| works for the pur. ose Of getting iDformas
| ton in regard to all emp nyer' 'hr III "a
/ employed there are afraid to exp ess
/ themselves as th"v ifuT II shnu Il
n he taken to their emp oyer ruu Eney y Ouiu
| be discharged; and
| WHEREAS, 1hIs was tie Uuiy Kind OF Ell
investigation made Ivy that comn,ttee and
conse uuently could Mt be an impartial
one, but was such an one as coulu only De
! made by a committee paid by Ehomas II.
Morgan for the purpose OF whitewashing
him and placing him before the workmeu
of this district in different character TO
| the one he really has; and
| WHEREAS, 1t is within our certain
knowledge that Thomas II, Morgan has
always oppressed organized labor being
| established among the workingmen EN-
ployed in his works, and he has discharged
workman n for being members of a
labor organic alton. Wherefore, be 1t
RESOLVED, BY the members of the Can
| ton Traties and Labor Assembly that we
condemn the action and report of that iu-
vestigating committee as being unworthy
of notice by honest workmen, whether
organized or unorRanized; and we ask
them to remember Thomas Il. Morgan at
the polls on election day, as that Is the
only place where workiugmen can get
even with such employers, by compelling
them to stay at home, aud thus let the
world see that when au enemy of organ
lied labor comes up for office, that they
have the manhood and dignity to resent it,
