Pittston, Nov. 4.
Hon. w. II. Hines, who desires re-
election at the hands of the voters of
Lu2erne, seems to be unfortunate in
encountering obstacles all along the
line. The labOring classes, who fail to
observe any benefit that they have re-
ceived at the hands of Mr.. Hines, do not
seem to be backward in entering their
protests against the course of their
representative in the halls of congress.
The undersigned committeeof Pittston
Local, No. SO. of the Iron Moulders'
union of America, met this evening and
adopted the following preamble and reso-
lutions concerning the candidacy of
Hon. w. IL. Hines. who desires re-
election at the hands Of the voters of
Luzerne county:
Whereas, Labor is the basis of national
wealth and material advancement and
progress, all of which can be fostered and
sustained by intelligent. honest and syra-
pathetic legislation at Washington, and
Whereas, The tone, spirit and trend cf
legislation bearing upon all Industrial and
business interests must be seriously af-
fected by the character of the men who
represent us in the legislative halls at the
national capital and,
Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Hines, the
representative from the congressional
district has proved himself recreant to all
business, professional and representative
responsibilities so far as these relate to
the interests of the working classes, car
ing only for his own selfish interests and
ignoring the welfare of his own district
and the state of Pennsylvania and.
Whereas, We consider that true rep
resentative of the complex interests of
this important congressional district and
this still more important state should not
need pay to protect the interests of this
district or state, and still further should
not be guilty of the ineffable meanness
and treachery of surrendering those in
terests into unfrendly hands for the
privilege of peddllng political patronage
to the highest bidder independently of all
business, personal or political considera-
tions of merit in the beneficiary, and
Whereas, We consider that the interests
of labor would be safer in the hands of
an honest capitalist whose interests are
inseparably connected with the true in
terests of labor rather than in the keep
ing of tricky demagogue whose heart
bleeds for the poor workingman until
convenient opportunity presents itself for
selling them out. Therefore be 1t
Resolved, That we repudiate the candi-
dacy of the Hon. W. II. Hines who as
pires to represent this district In the ma
tional halls of legislation and recommend
our fellow workmen throughout the coun-
ty of LuZerne to rebuke his treacherous
treatment of their interests and to con-
sign him to that political oblivion from
which he should never have emerged
Resolved That this preamble and these
resolutions be published in the newspa-
pers circulating In the congressional dis
trict.
