Addressed by Secretary Hart on the Distribu.
tion OF the Relief Fund.

New Bedford, Mass, Feb. 4.-The
mass meeting of weavers in Dawsons
hall at the north end. today, was
largely attended. The interesting fea-
ture of the meeting was the statement
by Secretary Hart with reference to
the feeling which has arisen among the
non union weavers relative to the dis
tribution of funds.
Il am not here to give detailed ac-
count of what has become of that
money said Mr. Hart, but / will
recommend that you select nom
unionist as an auditor who shall ex-
anime the accounts and thereby satisfy
you that everything has been done
fairly. The same thing | expect will
he done at the south end and thus We
can find out where the sore heads lie"
Secretary Hart paid his respects to
the south corner takers as he termed
them. We have never had an iota of
trouble with the members Of our
union. We received from outside, last
week, about $500, to be divided equally
among 10000 people out on strike, and
figure it out as best you can, you cam
not make more than cents a head"
Oliver Christian and Thomas Ions
dale also spoke.
