Rettger'S Funeral Greatest
Seen In Cleveland.
Mgr. ThOrpe'S Timely Sermon
Not ReliShed by Strikers.
Troops are Still Under Arms to
Prevent Trouble.

Cleveland. July 6-The funeral OF
William Rettger, the striker killed at
the Brown hosting works. was the most
imposing funeral pageant ever given
laboring man here. In Cleveland there
has been but one occasion when there
was larger procession and greater
crowds-the funeral OF Garfield. Yes
terday, by actual count, 10,3C0 men
formed the funeral cortege.
The funeral services were held In tho
Church of the Immaculate Conception.
A conservative estimate places the num-
ber of spectators about the church and
along the line OF march 70 tho cemetery
at 100, 900. The procession moved quietly,
and, save for the dirges played by the
many bands, no sound save the tread
of feet broke the quiet. The white casket
in which reposed the remains was liter
ally buried I'm flowers.
Mgr. Thorpe, who Ii is thought will be
made bishop OF Buffalo diocese de-
livered the sermon, and his remarks
were not altogether relished. In tho
course OF his sermon he said: "The les
son we must learn today Is that in So
ciety there are two classes, capitalist
and wage-earner. Next to capital there
Is the strong right arm OF labor One
cannot exist without the other. He has
the right under the laws of the state and
the nation. He makes hazardous ven-
lures. and on account of the risks in
business has the right to do as he
chooses. He may abuse that right and
forget God in his enjoyment OF his riches.
II he does there Is a remedy. but II does
not lie in passion or vengeance.
II speak to you as brothers. The rem
edy is public sentiment and the law.
There is another class not banded to-
gether as you are. They have the in
dividual rights. and those who adminis-
ter the law must protect them. Scenes
have been enacted during the past week
which should never have occurred.
These men who have become victims Of
your hate have rights under the law"
He continued at some length to score
the strikers for the scenes OF violence.
After the funeral the sermon was
roundly denounced by many.
The troops are still under arms.
