men.
A meeting of the German working
men Of this city was held in the hall of
the Labor Lyceum, at No. 112 jackson
street, Sunday afternoon, at which
considerable interest was manifested.
An address was delivered by Mr.. Wer-

and his remarks were greeted with fire.
quent applause. During the course OF
his speech Mr.. Werner said:
"'rhe stand which workingmen should
adopt in fostering the interests of organ
lied labor is fast impressing the masses
with the grave importance of the situa.
ton. The only remedy for the existing
evil is organization. Strikes and riots
are not beneficial and invariably have
proved disastrous to the interests of the
workingmen. Free suffrage and a free
ballot are the only sure way of making
the strength of the workingmen felt in
this country, where capitalists, monop.
olies and trusts have swallowed up all
available chances of the workingmen.'
