.DoUBLY ENDORSED IT
The GIock,e Boycott Given
Added Prestige from the OF.
Tending Timers Defense.
Otherwise a Quiet Session
Bazaar Committee Reports
Anderson Boycott.

The Trades Assembly meet
ing Saturday evening was live
ly from start to finish where II
wound up with an executive
session. Two new unions were
represented with delegates, the
engineers and agents. Presi'
dent McEwen made an exhaus.
tive report of the committees
preparations for the industrial
bazaar, and urged the unions
not yet represented to fall in
line right away.
The principal discussion
arose over the Grockle boycott
Mr.. Glockle has for a long time
been on bad terms with the
timers union. Committees
hadrepeatedly waited upon him
and, at length, being unable to
either get satisfactory ar
rangement or any explanation
from Mr.. Glockle, the request
of the timers few weeks ago
was endorsed. This brought
Mr.. Grockle to time and he
was on hand Friday night to
defend himself. Now it is a
settled policy of the Trades
Assembly, and of organize d
labor everywhere, to always
investigate grievance before
voting to endorse harsh meas
ures, but once a boycott has
been endorsed, only the organ
ization first asking for it is al
lowed to lift it. There is no
hard and fast rule to this
effect, but it is a policy that
would be departed from only
upon a strong showing that
the original action had been
unjustly taken. 49,.
The debate arose over the
nuestiOn of whether the AS
sembly would hear Mr.. Glockle
at all until he had first made
an attempt to square himself
with the timers union. Those
opposed to hearing him
thought it would establish a
dangerous precedent to allow
unfair employers to come in
and exercise their sophistical
talents in pulling the wool over
the eyes of the delegates. Those
in favor of giving him a hear
ing, however, argued that the
assembly was not made OF
such people as would be led
astray by any specious plead
ing and that organized labor
would more loyalty stand by
the boycott and the.pnblic gen
orally prove more sympathetic
if it were we'll understood that
Mr.. Glockle had been given
every possible opportunity to
explain his side of the case.
The discussion was quite
animated and the final vote
very close, resulting 20 to 18 in
favor of giving the gentleman
hearing. Mr.. Glockle then
made his little speech, and at
it's conclusion the. assembly by
a unaniimnous vote gave the
hoycott a double endorsement
The A. Anderson boycott
was also endorsed. The trAs-
tees reported that tho books OF
Financial Secretary Blk were
correct:
| Considerable other business
of miscellaneous character
was discussed, after which the
assembly went into executive
session and shortly afterwards
adjourned.

HEARD FROM AGAIN.

During the prevailing fever here
this fall, one Of our old subscribers re-
siding In Northeast Mississippi, wrote
us to hold his copy Of the DEMOCRAT
STAR In our Office until the danger
had passed, but he wanted the pay
tn 60 on just the same. As soon as
the fever was over aud the quarantine
raised, we sent forward our old friends
copy Of the DEMOCRAT-STAR, and last
week we received the following kind
and appreciated letter:
Six, Dec. q, 1897.
Capt P. X. MAyEns, Scranton, Miss
II hand you p. O. order for $5,
which place to my creditor the DEM
ocRAT-STAR. Really, Captain, l am
glad bilious, intermittent or dengue
fever, or whatever you may call it,did
not get you. Sure 1t would not do to
stop the "Old Reliable" until you get
everything straight-politics, religion,
otfice-seekers, grumblers, etc.
Long may she continue.
Yours truly, T. S. T."

A RIGHT VIEW OF 1893.

The DEMoCRAT-STAR enters upon
the year 1898 with renewed energy.
and with best wishes for prosperity
to It's friends and<subscribcrs. 1t Is
with pardonable pride that 1t looks
back upon It's past history, rs 1t Is
conscious Of having been a faithful
servant Of the interests of this part OF
the State. During the trying ordeal
through which we have lately passed,
the DEMOCRAT-STAR has never laid
down its arms, but, remaining at the
post OF duty, never ceased to urge and
cheer on the public, and to solicit aid
for the needy and indigent sufferers OF
the epidemic. We have, doubtless,
very strong reasons to believe that,
during the present year, and other
years to come, we shall be spared an.
other similar visitation, owing to the
sanitary precautions that have just
been inaugu7ated, and will be sue
cessfully carried out.
Yes, indeed, II we take into account
the brisk revival In business, that has
followed upon the heels OF the lat,
depression, and which has been no
tlced already In New Orleans ant
Mobile, we may safely hope tina
Scranton and neighb0ring towns viii
receive their share Of this renewet
commercial activity. ,s..
With the many natural advantage
Scranton possesses, and to which "
have repeatedly called attention, |
lies in the power OF our citizens, !
they but put aside all pessamistic an
dlscouraglng ideas and unite in pei
feet harmony to make OF this Ne,
Year a new era OF prosperity. :,

THE MESSAGE.

Gov. M'Laurin's message To- the
Legislature on. Tuesday last, Is an
elaborate document, embodying some
very commendable recommendations,
AZ well as some which are not strictly
in accord with tile prevailing senti-
ment of this community, at least.
The Governor treats at great length
upon the matter OF trusts and COM
bincs, and evinces bitter hostility
toward such Institutions, and, on &C
count Of the unjust advantage which
has been taken OF 1t, he recommends
the repeal Of the act, granting to cer-
tain railroads exemption from taxa
tion until their net earnings will per-
nit them to declare dividend Of 8
pei. cent.
Tie favors liberal appropriations for
our schools and colleges, and also for
the Confederate veterans pensions,
but suggests that all possible safe
guards be placed around the dlstribu-
tion Of the fund to prevent such
frauds as are being practiced upon
the Federal pension bureau.
The most important questions dis
cussed by the Governor, eifecting this
section of the State, are the quaran.
tine and deep water harbor matters.
Commenting on the fact that u bill
has been introduced in Congress to
place the entire matter 0fquarantine
In the hanis OF tho Federal govern.
ment to the exclusion OF tile State
officials, he requests that the Legisla-
ture present d memorial to Congress
demonstrating against the passage OF
such bill. At the same time he re.
commends a memorial to Congress
asking for the removal OF the quaran.
tine station from Ship Island to Chan
dAeur Island, though he gives NJ
reason for his preference fer Chande.
lcur Island.
Regarding deep water harbor on
our coast, he states, that to dredge a
channel to Biloxi Bay or Pascagoula
Bay would cost but $4,000, and urges
that such action be taken as will best
serve to induce Congress to aid us in
the improvement OF one OF our har
bors. He appears to have no choice
as between Pascapoula and Biloxi.
The only other topics OF Importance
discussed were, that OF United States
Senators, whom he recommends be
elected by popular vote; recommend
! alton that law be passed prohibiting
, the running Of freight trains through
the State on Sunday, and an urgent
} request that the Constitution be Sc
amended as to disQualify anyone as an
elector who Is guilty OF beating his
wife.
The remainder OF the message is
devoted to the subject of State lands
leyees, and State officials and institu.
