Jheered by the Crowds

Fifteen hundred sons of toll, with ban
ners flying and torches cleaning, marched
through the principal streets last night
to the cheers of thousands who gathered
to witness the parade.
The demonstration was complete sue
cess from all points of view-the number
who participated in it, the dignified atti-
tnde of the men, and the effect produced
upon those who saw it. Itwas originally
intended to give this parade in the inter-
ests of the union bakers, who have been
making strong fight for shorter hours,
but the scope was broadened to express
sympathy with the union brewers, who
had little difficulty with one concern,
with the union plumbers and with the
striking miners at Eureka.
Representatives of every union in the
city gathered in front of the Federated
Trades hail. on Second South street, and
when the order to march was given 1 800
men were in line. at the head of the
procession President Willard, ex-Presi-
dent Sleater, Judge Bowman, j. S. Dave
Ter, G. M. Jackson and p. Mccartney rodein
a carriage, and were followed by Held's
band. Then came the workingmen, with
banners and transparencies, while the
Denhalter band brought up well IN the
rear. The line of march was on West
Temple, Second South. Main, State and
First South streets, and when s'scab'
shop was reached the procession would
halt while the bands played dirges and
the crowd cheered.
THE TRANsPARENCIEs.
Among the transparencieE were some
bearing the following legends:
sour Objects are Sought by Moral Su-
No< ~ -
American Wages for American
Miners
''Are We Fair? Let the Public Be the
judge
s'Give Union Men Your Patronage"
''Fisher Couldn't Stand the Boycott.
He's All Right Now.n
tWe want no scab plumbing on the
city and county building.''
"United labor of Utah is With the
Eureka miners. -
"Our methods are peaceful. Let us
have peace.'
cali the breweries in Salt Lake are
union, and don t you forget it,"
''To union men:
Honor and fame from no conditions rise,
Act well your part
There all the honor lies. -
Don't support scab labor by patroniz-
ing scab shops.N
eve demand that ten hours constitute
days labor.''
SPEECHES MADE.
When the parade reached Gebhardt' s
bakery, at the corner of Commercial and
Second South streets, the procession
halted, and when the bands had played
patriotic airs, with dirge for the benefit
of the scab shop, r. g. Sleater made a
few remarks and introduced J. S.
Daveler, who freely discussed the labor
question in general and then referred to
the Eureka strike, in which, he said, an
effort was being made to give union
workingmen a black eye, by filing the
camp to quell trouble which would not
arise.
Judge Bowman made the principle
speech of the evening, and he began by
calling attention to the dignifed and re-
spectful attitude of those taking part in
the demonstration. He was astounded
there were employing bakers here who
would demand sixteen hours work and
upwards day from their men, and
equally astounded that there were men
who would yield TO them. He urged the
working men to perfect their organiza-
tions and stand shoulder to shoulder and
then the victory must be theirs.
THE EUREKA UNION ENDORSED.
r. G. Sleater once more referred to the
Eureka trouble, and introduced G. Nj.
jackson, who read the following resolu-
tions, which were adopted without dis
5enting voice:
Whereas, The Eureka Miners union of Eu-
reka. Utah. having trouble with the Bullion
Beck and Champion Mining companies of Eu-
reka, on account of cut of fifty cents per day
