Dear Sir:
Since my return to this city my at
tention has been called to an abusive
article in "The Tocsin'' of April %.
entitled, ''Fakirs on Record,' in which
you devote six and one-half lines to
me, and state three falsehoods,
whether ignorantly or maliciously, l
cannot say.
Now, there is no argument in abuse,
hence I shall not use any; although
falsehood, misrepresentation and Wilt
fication seem to be your chief weap-
ons. 1 cannot account for your ven
omous attacks upon me except on the
ground that you are jealous Of the
esteem in which I am held by my
fellow unionists, and you wish to cast
discredit upon me in some way. Kind
ly remember that "He who blackens
others does not whiten himself" All
the abuse you and your "Section' are
capable of using, (and you are eX-
perts at it) hurts no one but your
selves.
You are at liberty to continue call

The parade and mass meeting held
last Sunday afternoon by the striking
street car employees and the labor or
eanizations of Duluth and West Supe-
ror, was an imposing affair. The par
ade was as large as ever seen in the
city. and thousands of people thronged
the strets. An industrial parade on
SunIay is an unusual occurrance and
the silent marchers created feellnS
in the minds and hearts Of many that
was more telling than the most loudly
protest.
Owing to lie concert taking place
o+ the ! :,,orv. and on invitation o.
Mr.. Fr:nces Murphy. the temperance
lecturer holding meetings at the un-
ion rink, the labor organizations
ioincd. with him in a big mass meeting.
Mr.. Murphy took up the first part OF
Yhe afternoon and delivered most
eloquent address TO an audience that
hacked the immense building.
Then the labor meeting WAS taken
un. The first speaker was PRESIDENT
Kriz Of the Trades assembly. lie SAID
that the delegation was there repre-
santine the street railway employees
now on strike. 1--WE want to lay the
case before the people of Duluth so
that they may determine whether or
not the cause of the strikers is just.
Mr. Murphy has told you that all good
things are the result OF labor lie
said that capital cannot get along
without labor and that labor cannot
oct along without capital, for capital
is the produce of labor. we are
fighting those who use capital to
Grind down the working man. 1t is
war, it must be admitted. Either the
workers will be ground down so that
they will be lower han the Mexican
poems or they must conquer and rule
for the good Of all.
Mr.. kriz then introduced Joseph q.

ear union. who sad hat he had come
to Law before the people 'lc facts IN

is;jur, He said that some time ago

manager of the street railway, beg

certain rules which amounted to tyr
onny. lie would not listen to them
When Il number Of employees were dis
charged for no cause other than ina
they were members of the union. thel1
next step was to appeal to the courts
The courts dccid> Il against them, hold

the company has taken the credit of
the results Of the elements and claim
a gain in patronage, which in a meas
ure is true. There has been no vio-
lcnce except some trivial matters and
not one of these acts have been traced
to the strikers. The general suppo-
Sition is that the detectives and cut
throats who follow up street car
strikes as a business are responsible
for whatever dcpretla1ions have been
committed. The mayor has obeyed
orders from Mtrldcnhall and increased
The police force by deputizin@ Il lot of

in which the Workmen are very liable

employers are b;ckering with the men
over Il small advance in wages they
are losing thousands Of dollars daily

are bound that the laborer shall re-

The trades unions Of the city held
a gigantic secret mass meeting at Co.
lunbia Hall last Saturday evening.
The meeting was called by the Trades
assembly in the interest of the strill-
ing street car employees. The follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
"Whereas, the Duluth street railway
employees are engaged in struggle
for better working conditions, and
whereas, the struggle has been waged
for almost two weeks without signs OF
wavering by any member Of the union.
Members have been tempted by the
general manager to return to work,
which they have refused to do, unless
accompanied by the entire member
ship who were engaged in the service
at the beginning Of the strike, and
those who were discharged without
cause; and, whereas, this city is being
flooded with slums, outcasts and GRIM
mails from our large cities, who make
business of working during strikes
and who operate the cars for the pur-
pose of stealing all they can from the
company.
"The lives of the travelling public are
imperilled because of the Incompetent
cy of the operators. They make a
business of carrying dangerous, con-
cealed weapons, which they habitual]y
flourish in the most trihing disputes.
Women are being insuled upon the
streets in the resident portions of the
city by some of the present operators,
while passing upon their cars. Mel.
whom we have reason to believe are
hirelings have entered our ranks and
have fruitlessly endeavored to induce
certain members to commit acts of
violence against the property
of the street railway company
for the purpose of prejudicing
the public against our cause.
Upon the suggestion and through the
efforts of our honorable mayor, an at
tempt was made to secure the settle
ment by means of arbitration, to
which the receiver Of the street rail-
way company fatly refused, even If
instructed to do so by the courts.
''-\fter Il careful considerat ton Of the
above well-known facts, it is hereby
resolved, by the trades unionists of
the city of Duluth in mass meeting as
sembled to call on the citizens of this
city in defense of their homes and
their fresides, their lives and their
property, to aid the street railway
employees in this fight by withdrawing
their patronage from the street rail.
way company until this matter is set
tied.
.'Resolved further, that as reward
for extended sympathy we will pat
ronize only such business men as will
not ride upon the street cars.
"Resclved further, that as an expes
sion of sympathy, each and every per-
son is requested to wear a white rib
bon on the lapel of his coat"
Arrangements were also made to as
sess all union members for the main
tcnance Of the strike.
