Mr.. MnIlen's Speech.

The Norfolk Landmark In its report
of the Labor-Day proceedings at Ocean
View Monday. says
"Mr w. ii. Mullen, OF Richmond, a
member of Richmond Typographical
Union. delivered a splendid address. He
began his forty-m.nutes' talk by saying
that the prosperity and progress of the
country is due largely TO the skill and
ingenuity of the American workingman.
He spoke in glowing terms OF the en-
blowers who deal fairly with their men,
saving that the broad-minded and honest
employers are not included in the criti-
cisms Of labor oppressors.
Mr. Mullen criticised the action OF the
President OF the United States in send
ing troops 10 Illinois despite the protest
of the Governor OF that State. The
sneaker asserted that such action was a
violation of the Constitution OF the
United States. Governor O'Ferrall and
Major Simons also came in for share
of adverse criticism from the speaker.
'Mr. Mullen closed his address by max
ing an earnest appeal to the members OF
labor unions to use their best endeayors
towards increasing their membership. He
said that these organizations should be
made schools OF learning. Ia which the
members should be taught their own
rights as well as the rights Of their en-
poycrs.'
