A communication from the CONNER
cial club asking the assembly to ap-
point committee of two to act with
the citizens committee in making ar
Iransements for the carnival was read
ana the chair appointed Messrs. Royal
land Harkins. .. s
+ f. NJ. Williams sent a communica-
ton to the assembly about alleged
"discrimination" by Messrs. Alexander
land Reimer of the Musicians union.
! 1t seems that Mr.. Williams. gave a
dance. at the Fair building on the 4th
Il l. ~
union for prices. which were given
him. He argued the terms were too
high, and as the dance was to- be a
|ts'benefit''' he would have to go to Dll-
lufh for music, which he did. Later
developments show the benefit" to
have been expressly for Mr.. Williams
improvement of his park.
The Musicians. union not liking the
idea of Mr.. Williams sending out ;of
town for music had cards printed an
Ilouncing where dances were held that
rlnioin music was engaged for, and
|uptloubted kept many people away
from the Fair building.
+, AS the communication was addressed
to the assembly a resolution was pass
ed denying the report that. the as
I'sembly had endorsed any boycott of
the Musicians union since they were
|5olganized, and it never has been asked
to. Messrs. Alexander and Reimer
we're also eNonerated for the alleged
discrimination. s. T.
The fol lowing clipping was read !:
Eugene ". Debs spoke at the Opera
House Tuesday evening, to a fair sized
|#andience. This man is perhaps the
|scompletest example of a fake now on
foct. He has the elements of an. agita-
tor, unreasoning and visionary. His
lstrongest mental characteristic is pre-
jlld ice prnfession prejudice. His
love for the I'd down-trodd den working
man will never reach such a pitch, as
Ito induce him to leave the pleasant
oeeu ion of ia liking for that Of labor.
He is one=sof those public accidents in
Which this country abounds man
Whose gall passes for genius with the
unit hinl lking: He is mel therr an orator,
a thinker nor q pffiloso pher. IN 5tur-
fSbulents times he would be a successful
agitator His trip around the country
can rebound to the benefit Of no one
but himself. The press compliments
him for fear Of offending the tabor
element, which is supposed to bacl;
him in his. pilgrimage. We are, how
ever, Of the5opinion that the. labor ele-
ment is not fooled by Eugene v. Debs.'''
Resolution were endorsed as fol
