Even in the face of Mr.. Morgan's
statements, THE ARGUS cannot see
wherein its report, or subsequent in
ference drawn from the action of the
Labor congress, was at variance with
the spirit of the meeting. The sug-
gestions offered by Mr.. Morgan, pro-
viding explicit instructions to the
committee, were defeated. and as far as
the endorsement of the extensions
sought by the Tri-City railway went,
it was stated that it was given condi-
tionally. In n word, the conclusion
reached, from the attitude of the
meeting. was that it was friendly to
the extensions being granted I'M
der express stipulation. This MIR.
Morgan freely admits. THE ARGUS
did not assume that any of the MEM
bers had expressed Willingness for
unconditional surrender" as Mr..
Morgan declares, nor was there any
such feeling manifest as far as The
ARGUS was capable of discerning. On
the contrary, there were representa-
tives of organized labor present who
freely and unhesitatingly advocated
the endorsement of the rights asked
for by the company, men who have

In his advocacy of closing the chap

that the company has since changed
