without limit, being some 100 miles in

modern machinery and by the aid of

tho shooting at Latimer, Pa, on Sept.
Is, the following resolutions were
adopted:
! Resolved, That we declare the attack
of Sheriff Martin AMI his deputies on
the marching miners then on strike, as
o brutal, unprovoked massacre, inspired
by the coal operators Of that section to
defeat the demands of the men for
letter conditions.
Resolved, That the ever ready use, of
late years, Of court injunctions, armed
force and the state militia, in times Of
labor troubles, is only a part of the in.
sidious programme to entirely s~ubjngate
the workers of America to the most de.
basing degradation.

ing of the poor miners at Lattimer, and
will give our fullest help, through the
trades unions and the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor, to raise money for the
legal prosecution and conviction of
Sheriff Martin and his murderous min.
ions, that through the courts of our
land even.handed justice may be done
to atone for these revolving murders.
Frank j. Weber, one of the fedora.
ton general organizers, was directed to
proceed Immediately to the Luzerne dis
trict, Pennsylvania, for the purpose Of
helping in more thoroughly organizing
the miners and to endeavor to effect an
adjustment of the miners strike in that
region.
1t was determined that measures in
the interest of labor should be formu.

with a view of incorporation in his next
message to congress. 1t was resolved
that with the revival Of industry every
effort would be made to organize the
workers in their ,rakes unions and the
organizer was directed to work along
this line.
Members of the council were APP
pointed to investigate certain differ

making report and adjustment. The
council adjourned in the afternoon,
subject to the call Of President Gompers,

of Labor which has been in session
here, has issued an address in part as
follows:
A call has gone forth to the trades
unions and public for a labor convention
In Chicago next Monday. The objects are
to take measures in aid Of the strike and
to offset the sweeping powers of the
courts in granting injunctions in defiance
Of popular rights during labor disputes.

vention in Chicago next week. We ad-
wise our members not to be represented.

have money, and they are bright fellows
who will know a good thing when they
see it. The addition of these men to the
population of the state will be Il blessing
to the whole northwest. Sometimes the
immigration has not included any con.
siderable proportion of practical farmers,
but was made up largely of those who
think q man can farm when he can't do
anything else. Io-day's contingent are

other fellows would fail, because they are

me Appellate courts.

Appellate courts can know nothing Of
the real trial as it did occur, yet they
are not deferred from granting new
trials and practically cooperating with
INSCRIPTIONS attorneys for the escape OF
men guilty of the most wicked murders
Appellate courts too frequently seem to
think that superior knowledge OF the
law is shown not by affirming the &C.
ton of the trial court, but by standing
in antagonism to it and by criticising
its action
1t is like the case of the bold, cpep
critic, who frequently gets credit for su-
perior knowledge by the audacity OF
his criticism, when, in fact, he knows
nothing of the subject Appellate courts
are very often made Up of men wanting
in knowledge Of the most elementary
principles of the criminal law, for they
have never either studied or practiced
it. With this want of knowledge Of the
very law they are seeking TO administer,
they try the case not ON its merits. to
determine the guilt or innocence OF the
man, but they try it by some technical
rule which has really no relation to the
guilt or innocence of the accused -
