Ills CONCEPTION OF The FLAG
Samuel Berger Tells About the Merits Of
The Emblem

During the Flag Day exercises held in
No. / school yesterday, Samuel Berger
a little fellow of IA years, expressed his
opinion of the American flag as fol-
lows:
Accept the flag in all its fullness OF
meaning. 1t is not a painted rag. II
is a whole national history. It is the
Constitution. 1t is the Government. II
is the free people that stand by the
Government on the Constitution. For
get not what It means and forsake OF
its ideas. rather than its mere emblaz-
onry. Be true to your country's flag
BY your hands lift it. but let your lift
ing It be no holiday display. It mus
be advanced because of the truth."

GOMPBRN WARNS
Thu MACHININTN
American Federation Of Labor
Takes Hand in Local
Strike

In Turn Hall Ghis morning the usual
quota Of machinists met and reported,
Robert L. Lee presiding, but no bust
ness was transacted and no program
given.
The only subject Of importance was
a communication from Samuel Com
pers. president OF the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor. warning the men 20 be-
ware OF agents of the Delaware and
Laclawanna Railroad Company. who
were endeavoring to hire machinis 10
work in its shops. The following let
ter was read by Mr.. Smith, secretary:
Headquarters American Federation of
Labor,
Washington, d. c.. June 10. 1901.
Warning-Machinist are still en- a
strike fer the nine-Aour day. A Mr..
Carpenter and ether agents are en-
deavoring 10 obtain machinists 10 take
the place OF the strikers i'm the Della
ware and Lackawanna railroad shops
and other places DO net accept such
engagements. Stand by the machinists
and all workers struggling for their
rights. Fraternally yours.
SAMUEL GOMPERS,
President American Federation OF
Labor.
The American Federation OF Labor
and the International Association OF
Machinists are closely allied. 50 much
so that the federation has offered fl
nancial assistance to the association II
it is required.
DENIES THE STATEMENT.
James A. Campbell, who has charge
of the strike movement in this city. de-
mics the statement made that a special
agent Of the international Association
OF Machinists will be sent to Whining
ton to look after the strike. Mr.. Camp
bell said this morning:
II don't know where the newspapers
got hold Of such a story I've never
heard it, / have been the representa-.
tive Of the association in Wilmington
and so far have received no WORD
TO the contrary"
1t was iumored to-day that unless
some agreement were come to between
the striking machinists and employers
next week, that a general strike woul,
! be ordered throughout this country ant
! Canada. This would mean that al
members Of the Brotherhood OF Loco
motive Engineers, locomotive firemen
! irainmen, employees in shops Of rail.
road companies, ship jOiners, carpen.
ters. moulders, boilermakers, handy
men, and, in fact, all of the laborinl
class would have to quit work II is
believed however, that such step viii
not be necessary.
The local Situation has not beer
changed to-day. Pickets and polio,
were stationed about the yards Of the
Harlan and HOllingsworth Company
but no trouble ensued. No new mel
went in.
Considerable comment was caused
among the machinists this morning by
the appearance of a strange man il
| town, who was thought to be a "detec
tive" He was shadOwed all the morn.
! ing by several members Of the union
but nothing could be learned as to hi.
! identity. For several hours the
stranger sat in the p, w. & B. rail
read station, evidently waiting fol
| someone.
When asked If he were a member oi
a detective agency by a reporter Of the
Evening Journal. he replied:
"YOd can gamble that | am not con.
nected with the strike in any way
whatever I'm telling you the truth.
could lie just as easily"
When asked to give his name and
state his business, he refused to do so

Democrats with the greed OF an
octopus reaching out with its feeicrs to
gather in everything to its rapac!ous
nav, are grasping for everything in the
way OF municipal office and the spoilS
once in their clutches, they wan. TO re-
tain them forever. Life tenure in Office
seems to be their desire but their octopus
dream will fall flat. They are ready,
willing and anxious to carroe everything
in sight
They started with their contest for the
offices of State detective. The climax,
so it appears, was reached when rcso-
luton was introduced in City Council
Thursday night providing for the APP
pointmcnt by Council of an assistant
city solicitor. Thus far they have
grabbed for everything in sight. How
much more far-reaching their ambitions
may be is hard to determine at present.
But from dog catcher to mayoralty and
all between. they want and seem deter
mined to devote all their efforts to Sc
cure.
1t is said they have advised plan
to hold up the pay of the election officers
to provoke suit to test the constitution
atty of the recent city election. The
will of the people has been expressed by
ballot but to present Office holding Demo
Gratis the will of the people is as naught.
Freedom of expression and the sacred
right of franchise they set aside for
personal greed.
From present Indications besides the
contests for State detective, municipal
court Judge and port physician, there
will be sguabbles over the offices of
mayor. City Council, city treasurer: in
fact nll offices held by Democrats who
were ousted by the voice of the major
ity of the people expressed at the recent
election.
Democrats are talking of the prob
ability of dual municipal government as
a result of the present strife until the
matter is settled by the courts. But
there will be no dual government. In
the event of any obstinacy on the part
of Democratic officials whose terms shall
have expired on July they will simply
be ousted as Il. r. Cochran, Jr., was
when he attempted to hold on to the
municipal judgeship, notwithstanding the
appointment to the bench of Phillip O..
Churchman.
Regarding the assistant city solicitor
it should be plain to all Democrats that
Judge Churchman would not recognize a
Democratic appontee Of City Council.
On the other hand he would be bound by
precedent and all right and fairness to
accept the selection of City Solicitor-elect"

/ James o. CopneGlef feons Sodi3 feel
ing confident oxsvictory$or We nlachin-
ists. In an iDterviews Mr.. O'Connel
Sd ID: "We have Known Mr.. Chalmers too
LONG and too thoroughly to be very much
alarmed over what he says. In spite
of the action of few employers at the
New York meeting, we are advised al
most hourly of the sure nder, or rather
generous act, of some firms in giving our
members the nine hours.
"In calculating the chances Of the
fight 1t must be remembered that our
men are simply the advance guard Of
others, and We shall have behind us or
ganiged labor everywhere. We have
urged our men to seek arbitration or
other honorable. means Of ending the dis
pute, and thus throw on the employers
the onus Of lockout.
Mr.. Chalmers only expressed his own
views at New York, and could testify
that very few of the employers hold
similar views. In the past we have; been
treated with every courtesy by the vast
majority of employers, and expect and
bore this will always be. 10.
'"On May 90. when the fight began we
had over 10000 men out. According to
reports to hand today, less than 10000
are idle.
"Ir. Gompers came her and spoke for
the American Federation of Labor. His
statements to us are very clear and en-
phatic to the effect that every possible
material aid will he at ofr disposal.
Then 1t is certain that every one of the
large unions may be relied upon for help,
for we sounded them all first. but it IN
not our intention to give the names of
these.
There are, however, no breaks in the
labor ranks. and firms will find steady
refusal on the part of workmen to handle
material from shops which have locked
us ont or refused our demand. We have
ample funds, and can fight year or
two, but We shall win in a month or
two.
ut is, as the secretary says. difficult
to state exactly how many men are ont,
because new firms are signing the
agreement daily, while in other places
DISPUTES arise
There have been secret conferences
here almost every day with representa-
tives Of the other large unions, and there
can be no doubt about the fact that
every large labor organization has
pledged itself to give financial support
to the machinists. The Canadian ma
chinists will give one days pay per week
to help those locked ont. The union OK
poets to have at least 100000 for the
fight.
