The chamber of commerce held a
special session yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock and adopted strong resolutions
against the strike. There was large
attendance, and ringing speeches were
made and received by enthusiastic APP
plause. Following are the resolutions:
Whereas, The commerce and pro-
duetive industries Of st. Paul and other
cities have been paralyZed to an in
creaslhg extent during the past ten
days as the result of so.called boy
colt. inaugurated by its promoters for
the admitted purpose of forcing the
settlement of dispute between
two parties by doing Injury TO third
parties who are In no way responsible
for the controversy, and who have no
power to settle 1t; and
Whereas. A recognition of the new
principles thus sought to be established
by this boycott would be Obstructive of
the business enterp rises of the country,
placing its industrial aud transpOrta-
ton interests, on which all modern
civilization rests, at the mercy of per-
sons clothed with no legal authority to
operate them, thus leading inevitably
to the defiance of law and the Subv9r-
sion of government; and
Whereas, AS a natural if not a fore-
seen result of these proceedings, GER
tain communities have been subjected
10 the disgrace and damage of mob vio-
lence, wherein property has been
destroyed, life imperiled. the proper
functions of government INSTRUCTED
and a general state of terrorism and
anarchy produced; and
Whereas, AS necessary and mani
testify Intended results of these pro-
eeedlngs, widespread distress and suf-
fering are being caused in many
communities suddenly deprived of
necessaries of life, and to individuals
Unexpectedly interrupted in necessary
Journeys, while enormous losses are
entailed upon varied departments of
production and numerous classes of
wage-earners; therefore,
Resolved by the st, Paul Chamber Of
Commerce, That we unhesitatingly deny
the Justice or necessity of the so called
boycott which has been the direct cause
OF the present alarming condition of
affairs, and we uureservedly denounce
the unlawful, Seditious and revolution
airy acts which are being committed in
many places by persons avowedly in
sympathy with and believed to be in
spired by the leaders in that movement.
Resolved, That it Is primary func-
ton of human government to protect
the life, liberty and, property of all citi-
zens, and that the vigorous performance
of this function is equally important to
the employer and employed. the poor
and the rich. Without it there can be
no prosperity for any portion OF the
people, but the burden Of suffering will
fall on all the producing classes.
Resolved, That we respectfully call
upon the governor of the state of Min
nesota and the mayor Of the city of st.
Paul to exercise all the powers vested in
them for the preservation of the public
peace, and the protection of life and
property whenever menaced within
their respective Jurisdictions, and espe-
ciaHy for the protection of all who are
willing to work from intimidation or
injury by any who may seek to prevent
them.
@Rssolved, That we cordially indorse
the wise. brave and patriotic reply OF
Senator &. K. Davis to the request from
Duluth for his su pport of the Kyle reso-
lntl0ns.- We are proud that a senator
from our state was first to proclaim In
| unmistakable terms his clear perception
of o tffcial duty. e
Resolved, That we heartily approve
| the sentiments of President Cleveland's
response to the protests of the governor
of Illinois. In this emergency all good
citizens unite in upholding the SUI
premacy of the law, and will sustain the
executive in employing every resource
of the nation to suppress fragrant in
Surrection against it's authority.
