At a meeting of Iron-molders' Union

lowing resolution was adopted:
- WHEREAS, An attempt is being made to be-
smirch the repur alton OF our fellow-citizeD
Charles Montgomery, in the matter Of the
Peoples Home Savings Bank; and whereas
we have known him for many years as an hon
estman, considefate employer and one ever
ready to extend helping hand % the down
trodden and oppressed and who has always
mad the courage to stand up for what be be-
lieVed TO be the right; and whereas We believe
that an attempt is now being made TO make
him scapegQar for the sins of others.
ResOtred That we, the officers and members
OF Iron-mOlders Union No. 1914 do hereby ex-
tend TO him our heartfelt sympathy in his pres
ent ordeal, and hasten to assure him Of our
mistaken confidence in his integrity, and that
we hone that the efforts OF his enemies to de-
fame him will recoil on themselves.
