He possessed the finest fishing outfit

fish were not aristocratie and preferred
to nfbble at the primitive hook and

The Ohio Valley Trades Assembly
held very brief meeting yesterday
afternoon, adjoining before three
o'clock. Very little business was be-
fore the body for consideration. The
meeting was called to order by Presi-
dent Ned Sims, with Secretary Duly
at his desk. The only credentials pre-
sented were from Louis Paradise, vice
H. ]. Jackson, of Tobacco workers,
Union No. 2.
Delegate Foster, of local No. 149, q.
M. w. of A., made an address in which
he returned heartfelt thanks to the
Assembly and to the public generally,
for aid extended to the striking miners.
The secretary read communication
from the Chicago Record and the Fed
Grafton, requesting signatures to pc
tition to Cangressmen, for the estab-
lishment of postal savings banks. II
was a lengthy document, going into
arguments for the proposed change.
The communication was laid on the
table.
The general committee on Labor
Day celebration made no report to the
Assembly, as it has not yet received
final reports from the various sub
committees. Up to date the treasurer
has received $49S.
The following resolution was intro
duced, and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we, the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly, commend
the position taken by His Excellency,
Governor G. W. Atkinson. on the in
famous government by injunction sys-
tenn, which is so prevalent in this
State at present; and that the secretary
be instructed to send him a copy of
this resolution.
Several short speeches were made in
advocacy of this resolution. The fol-
lowing resolution in regard to the trou-
BILE between the sheriff's force and
miners at Hazelton, was also adopted
without dissenting voice:
Resolved, That we, the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly, denounce
in the most scathing terms, the whole
sale slaughter of workingmen at Hazel
ton, Pa, on Friday last, by Sheriff Mar
tin and the deputies of that county
That we recognize the right of all pub
lie officials to uphold the law, but
maintain that the justification for TAX
ing human life lies in extreme meas
| ures, and was not justified in this
case.
Resolved, That we demand that the
perpetrators Of that dastardly deed be
dealt with to the full measure Of the
law.
The action of the Assembly in regard
| to Governor Atkinson, was taken with
| reference to his expressions in his let
ter written to Mr.. Van Meter, of Chi
| cage The Hazelton matter was dis
cussed fully, and every speech made
| denounced Sheriff Martin in unmeas-
ured terms. Many delegates spoke on
| the matter. The Assembly then ad-
| journed.
