The blowing up Of the Maine furnished sew
eral Anarchists at tho Central Labor Unions
meeting yesterday with an opportunity OF vent
Ing their disloyalty. and q olaque in the visit
ors' gallery applauded them.
The subject came up on the introduction Of
resolutions by James p. Archibald, delegate of
the Paperhangers' Union, indorsing the Jour
ndl's monument fund. Mr.. Archibald said:
"My object in bringing these resolutions is to
get tho Central Labor Union to put itself on
record in this matter. The victims Of the
Maine explosion gave up their social relations
to servo their country and lost their lives In Its
service. II there is any feeling that should como
next to alteration for our Maker. IL should be
love of country. l was not born here. but 1 am
proud to say that I am o citizen Of this great re-
public"
Delegate schwabo Of the Cornico and Sky
light Makers opposed tho resolutions. He an
nounced at starting that what he had to say
might not be popular, and that he thought tho
resolution would DO carried In spite of his oppo-
sition.
II don't believe in this pride Of country and
p patriotism" he added.
He was interrupted by a storm of protests,
while the gallery claque applauded. The Chair
man insisted on order.
"The soldiers and sailors are not our friends"
continued schwabo. ."They are hirelings Of
monopolists and corporations. tshouts Of
Bah! Stuff 1 do not believe in q monu-
mont to the lost sailors and marines. They
are non-producers. My motto is, 'Ubi veni. ibi
patria,' 'WhereverI go there is my country"
The Anarchists in the gallery applauded fran
tically. Delegate Brown of the Cigarmakers
topped Schwabe's remarks by saying:
II do not believe In patriotism. II hoodlums
and others go to fight, It does not. prove that
they arc right. I have nothing against Spain.
This war scare has been got up by the yellow
the Spanish soldiers and they obey. orders to
shoot. The American sailors and marines do the
same. No workingman ought to be. or can be,
patriotic, and il we want war, there is a la
Dor war in New Bedford.
Several delegates shouted out their disap-
prevail of Browns sentiments. Delegate Law
renee Of the Actors Protective Union said:
Are we in Amoricai. If these are the senti.
should take down that American flag from over
the platform and put up a red flag and Ill get
They're not our sentimental" shouted out a
number of voices. Delegate Mullee of the Ec-
centric Engineers was the first among a dozen
of delegates who wanted to get the floor.
Il am surprised and panied to hear such senti-
ments from delegates to the Central Labor
lives in the Maine explosion were members
of the MaChinists' Union. which is represented
here. All of the men on board of the Maine
were looking after American interests and pro.
tecting you and me. tApplause.l The two pre-
yious speakers never mentioned that fact.
What do they wantf Is it to do away with this
Government Let them give us a better one if
they can"
delegate Dempsey of tho Sterootypers' Union
said he was born In Ireland, and, in a sense.
the world was his country. but he had selected
this Government as the best and broadcast on
earth and was an American citizen and proud
OF it.
Whom does the delegate call h%oodlumsi'
he asked. IF it were not for the men he calls
hoodlums, who fought in 1912. we Should not
have had the greatest country on earth"
Another delegate named Haupt tried to make
an anarchistic speech, but it was not received
with favor. The resolutions were then passed
by q majority of more than two to one.
