result of the meeting the following pre-
amble and resolutions We're unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, AT the dedication Of corporate greed
in the persons Of the INSCRIPTIONS coal
barons Of the country. judges OF United
States courts have again resorted to the in
famous government by injunction" outrages,
and as a result of its application twenty
one of the workingmen of the state of Penn
ssylvania We're most foully murdered and
forty others seriously wounded; and
Whereas, The murdered men, by the con-
fession of one of their cowardiy asassins,
who gave the order to fire, were on the public
highway, unarmed and defenselesS; and,
Whereas, 1t is the first time in the history
of the United States except when state OF
war actually existed. that men have been
shot down in cold blood either by federal,
state, county city officials, without actual
ly engaging in riot or attempting to engage
in riot; therefore,
Resoived-First-That we denounce govern
ment by injunction contrary to the con-
stitution, and as foul blot upon the pages
of the history of free and liberty loving
America.
S6c0nd-We call lot the arrest llnHeui-
ate trial and punishment of those directly
responsible for the murder OF the miners at
Haze!ton Pa.
Thrd-We believe the action of Sheriff
Martin and his hired assassIns to be an. act
of treason against the government and the
crime of which they already adjudged
s;Iilty by the press and people of the country
as unparalleled in the history of the United
States.
Fourth-We call upon the clergy of all de-
nominations, upon all fair minded citizens, Of
whatever creed, color or political faith, to
raise their voice in earnest protest against
the injunction of courts to restrain men from
speaking, walking or marching on public
highways, which up to a recent date had al
ways been free to each and every citizen or
the United States.
Fifth-We deeply sympathize with the wild
| ows and orphans who have been deprived OF
| a susteLance through the assassination or
! those on whom they depended for support,
| and again call upon all true-hearted and pa
| triotic citizens to enter their most empnatlc
protest against a condition which, If contin-
! ued will bring disgrace and disaster upon the
! greatest nation in the world and fasten upon
| us an anarchist1c or monarchlal FORM Oh
| government.

The iron holders union held an open
meeting Saturday evening last. This
| hall was crowded, large number OF
those in attendance being composed OF
st, Paul; John Swift, w. b. Hammond

dressed the meeting.
Messrs. Nash and Swift spoke from
a tradeS-union standpoint, claiming
| that it was through organization thai
the condition of the laboring classes
could be bettered, while Mr.. Lee con-
tended that socialism was the onl!
cure for existing evils, and that trades
| in their
better the condition of the toiling mil
lions.
At the close of the meeting quite {
large number signifled their intention
of uniting with the union, and it is
| probable that not less than fifteen ap
plications will be acted on.
The Union Label Advocate, of Du
! luth. F. H. Lounsberry, editor, says
'"The progress made during the pas
| wear in advancing the cause of unlor
labels is particularly gratifying tt
trades unionists Several of the lead
ing magazines have published article;
favoring the use Of the label which
| will undoubtedly do much towards in
to reach otherwise. Labor unions arr
finding daily proofs that it pays bet
ter to agitate and educate rather thai
it does to use the strike and the boy
cott.'
