At meeting of the Central Labor
Union at Clarendon Hall this afternoon
the matter of indorsing the Chicago
strike came up in the regular course Of
business.
While there were not over fifty dele
gates in the hall. It was said that they
represented the big mass of the laboring
men of New York.
Delegate Daniel Harris, a prominent
member OF the International Cigar
Makers Union, moved the first resolution.
He began by saying:
1T Is time that the Central Labor
Union took a stand for the American
Railway Union and for President Debs.
During the last week the United
States Government called out the Fed
| eral troops to suppress organized labor.
Omnibus iniunctiCns have been is
sued forbidding even the writing OF LETT
tiers intended to promote the purposes
of this st rike.
"These matters deserve the attention
of the Central Labor Union, which has
done nothing as yet.
1--WE must either indorse Debs by .
public meeting or we should denounce
him. fa.
1.-THE public press has been calling
Debs dictator. l think 1t Is not Debs.
but President Cleveland who is the die
tator. ~.
Cleveland has sent Federal troops
into the State OF Illinois without war
rant under the Constitution.
The Government has thus taken .
stand against labor, and for corporala
monopolles.
THE Governor of Illinois has again
and again declared Mr.. Cleveland's
/ actions illegal The Governor OF 1lli-
nois commands the respect OF all work.

ayers who issued orders that no mail

committee OF zen be appointed with
power to call mass-meetng for the
purpose OF giving expression to the senti-
ments OF the laboring classes OF New
York"
Harris's speech was received with loud
applause. The delegates began to speak
on this resolution with an anendment
introduced to hold the fnass-meeting at
Cooper Union. ..s
ii We ,.' don't do something we shall
lay ourselves open to the charge OF
the , msansst G9wapitifsi, strike has hsep
carefully ignored by the press and by
the capitalists. The monopolists who
brought on the strike have been guilty
of cowartice. They now say that the
issue Is not between Pullman and the
laborlng men, but between the Federal
Goysrnment and the lahb9rins mem. :.
That is not true. The issue Is be-
tween the avaricious Pullman Company
ana 1t employees"
