resort here to-day and was addressed by Samuel
Gompers. The attendance was not as large

Sunday crowd at the resort The effect Of an
admission fee of 25 cents doubtless kept down

He said the situation was appalling, and some
people advocated heroic hostile action as a
remedy. The remedy he proposed was through
organization and the shorter work-day. In this
way could be throttled corporations e. that are
despoiling our legislatures and besmirching the

have been filed with Gov. Wocott alleging that
Gen. Martin perjured himself in 1893 in signing

Martin made the statement under oath at that

property in Dorchester. On the witness stand Q
few weeks ago Gen. Martin said that at dato
prior TO the signing OF this bond he had trans-
fcrred this property to the Howard National

plain. although no hearing is asked for by those
who filed the documents. The matter will prob
ably be laid before he Executive Council by the
Governor on next Thursday.
Since the investigation a few weeks ago. Gen.
Martin has severed his relations with most of

satisfied. however and 1t looks though they
