Ex-Committeemen Giblin and West
went to Philadelphia today to confer
with General Master Workman Sow

it is admitted that these representa-
tives were on an important mission,
but the exact nature of it, the strike

port, however, that they had in view
the calling out of the entire knights of
Labor in Brooklyn gained considerable
credence.
STRIKERS MASS MEETING.
A mass meeting of the strikers and
| sympathizers was held this afternoon
at the Athenaeum. Henry George was
the chief speaker. He said If the
municipality owned the roads and taxed
| land values the railroads would be free
to the people.
Congressman Jerry Simpson, who al
so spoke, urged the audience in the
future to vote the popuist ticket. One
of the principal planks in the populist
platform was the ownership Of rail-
roads, telegraph and telephone lines
by the government.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
the heartless and avaricious corpora
lions for having thrown the entire COM
munity into confusion, involving i'm
mense pecuniary loss and pauperizing
vast number of people; sympathizing
with men in their efforts to secure liv-
ing wages and reasonable hours of la
Dor; demanding that the attorney gener-
al of the state begin proceedings to an
null charters of railway corporations and
that upon forfeiture of said charters
all city railroads should be operated
by the city of Brooklyn, or by re.
sponsible lessees, under stringent regu
lations for the benefit of the people Of
Brooklyn.
