ridiculous as the sup"rstitions OF our ancestors
who made prisoners walk over hot irons TO prove

Let US bow down before him But H. on the other
hand. reason IS 10 rule. let ne appeal 20 that and
TO brutal force.
This same statement was presented yesterday az
tcrnoon by Mr. Hall at the weekly meeting OF the
Central Labor Union in Clarendon Hall.
Mr. Hall obtained the privilege OF the floor 70
almost adopted without knowing their purpor,
Delegate Barr desired TO know why the resolu-
being indorsed by organized labor. Il don; think
the proposer has spanish gold. continued the dele
wrong market i think he is wrong and ina, he
has been lll-advIscd. Organized labor take care
Delegate DAILY moved that the resolutions be
tabled. but the motion was lost
Delega,e smith declared I'VE are tho Govern
mont and the sailors servants. We should
svenge the murdered men OF the Maine"
Delegate Prince said he didn't like war but he
was not In favor OF the resolutions.
Delegate Johnson was surprised That any delegate
should favor the sha rcmarkea that any
Delegate Farley said that Congress had 'chcwcd
the rag too long and that the Nation should light,
Delegate Brown favored the resolutions and OK
pressed the opinion that some OF his brother dele
9n tes had wrapped themselves up In tho Stars and
Stripes and become too bold let the rich men
fight" he added.
Delegate Barry OF the Actors Protective Union
declared that II any Of the delegates had travelled
through Cuba and the South American countries
they would know that II was not the rich men Of
those countries who nsulted citizens Of the United
States
Mr. Hall said he thought the resolutions concerned
anzrd labor very much. He insisted that in the
enrolment OF troops organized labor had been neg
lected and that workmen had always been opposed
10 increasing the Army anyhow.
The meeting finally voted to reject Mr.. Halls res.
olutIons bv an overwhelming majority
