meeting Of the Trades Assembly and
adopted unanimously:
We, the Ohio Valley Trade and Labor
Assembly view with alarm and regret
the present state OF aftaira at Home
stead, Pa, where the introduction Of
armed men provoked q conflict and loss
Of human life; we consider the presence
Of such m%erCenaries o shameful re-
preach to American institutions, a
modern introduction Of the teudal
times, with the baron and his retainers
yet in the very wrong there is q
remedy. II the agitation Of organized
labor; II science and progress are I'm
able to arouse the masses, there are
men like Frick who will bring It about.
The whole country is ringing with in
dignant protests against the doing OF
the cynical millionaire anarchist, who,
with his electricity and Winchester
rifea IL &c Jinty accomplishing what
we have failed to do.
Wherein lies the remedy for these
wrongs in cur. modern society, is the
question that presents itself. The the
DRY enunciated by Chief Justice Waite,
namely, that the state has the right
to regulate the conduct and charges Of
any business affected with q public
interest" certainly throws agleam Of
light on the situation. AS the state is
bound to protect the individual citizen
in his property right, and the work
mans labor is his property, it must not
permit 10 any business the power to in
t~erfere, except with the proviso that II,
/ the state, reserves tho right to such
control as will enable It to prevent such
injustice; and even when special fran
chises are not conferred we must not
forget that a greater power than the
state, modern civilization itself, has
/ given franchises no less valuable to
other enterprises OF great magnitude,
and which, il not under control Of the
people, gives them the power'to extort;
| therefore, be it
ReSolvcd, That we, the Ohio Valley
TRADE and Labor Assembly, send greet
ing to our brothers at Homestead, Pa,
and that We will stand by them in their
unequal struggle for right and justice,
by every lawful and honorable means
In our power;
RCSolrei, That We arc determined the
Pinkerton method must goi that our
secretary be instructed 10 communicate
with the member OF Congress of this
district and inform him that We desire
a federal law as a remedy against this
rule;
Res0lsd, That we demand the enact.
ment Of q law at the session OF the next
state legislature forever %forbidding the
Hf6troduction of armed me being
brought into the state under control Of
private parties.
