lA MASS MEETING cALLup.

A large proportion Of the liberty loving
and law abiding citizens OF Beaumont have
been In sympathy with the coal miners In
their fight for bread ever since the present
strike was inaugurated. but as 1t was pre-
sumed that most OF the ctrikers hal In the
late election voted for the presidential can
iidate who was pledged to perpetuate
trusts and monopolies. and increase tho
profits Of coal operators and other mill
ionaires treated by class legislation. the
people here have refrained from public
expression. The recent action OF the courts
prohibiting the starving miners from walk
Ing on public roads. together with the proc
lamation issued by officials Of the labor
organizations and the very sugg ,siiye car
toon published In this mornings Pest,
have forced realization that the en-
croachments OF capital through pe,tifoR-
cling judges upon the liberties OF the peo-
ole threatens the life OF the republic. and
the citizens are therefore going to give
public expression to their views on gov
ernment by Injunction. For this IufIcse
a mass meeting has been called for next
Saturday night. It will be held ut the
court house and the indications now are
that Beaumont Will have u representative
at the ST. Louis meeting which has been
called by presidents OF the different lator
organizations.
