It was an indignation meeting, says
the Baltimore American.
A tall gentleman was standing up
and speaking vociferously.
They are trampling upon our rights
and interfering with our business" he
said. They are insisting upon the
most sanitary disposal of the garbage,
they are doing everything in their
power to discover and kill the small
pox germs, they are giving the chill
dren public Fairgrounds so as to in
crease their health and prolong their
life, they are giving free ice and free
excursions to the sick, they are doing
all they can to prevent the use of toy
pistols, and even suicide is discouraged
in every way the officers of the law
can devise. The browning contem-
plated outrage against us is the
scheme of supplying the city with a
complete and effective sewer system.
BY and by, we shall have to go into
the grocery business or find some other
employment for the maintenance of
our families"
And every other member of the
Amalgamated Association of Under
takers nodded solemn approval of their
chairman's speech.
