The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1903-10-02

The Trades and Labor Assembly of
Canton places itself in a rather ludi-
crous position by first endorsing the
candidacy of Robert A. Pollock, and
then passing resolution favoring the
initiative and referendum. AS a Re-
public politician, Mr. Pollock is dia-
metrically opposed to the initiative and
referendum, which is probably the
strongest plank in the Democratic
platform. To be consistent, the trades
council most revoke it's endorsement
or one or the other. Mr.. Pollock saw
the danger ahead and made a heroic
attempt TO block the passage of the
resolution favoring the Democratic
doctrine of direct legislation, but in
the face of its previous endorsement
by the American Federation Of Labor
the efforts of his hcnchmen were un
availing. Now 1t remains for thu
Trades and Labor Assembly to set it.

JOHNSON AND
UNION LABOR
He Tells a Dayton Audi

a Good Thing.

the News-Democrar.

Special to the News-Democrar.
Dayton, o., Sept. 30.-At Tom L
Johnson's tent, which was pitched here
last night, there was assembled one
of the largest crowds that has ever
turned out to a political meeting In
this city. The 5000 seats were occu-
pied long before the meeting began
and when Mr.. Johnson and John III
Clarke arrived the standing room
which will accommodate 1900 people,
was soon packed to the tent walls.
The sides were dropped and hundreds
of people who were unable to get in
were thus enabled to see and hear. II
the audience there were many union
labor people, and Mr.. Johnson got
what he always longs for, and seldom
gets-questions.
"Do you think a Democratic COVE
ernor would be any better for labor
than Republican governor?" was
asked
"Well, now, my friend, that is q
ques-"
"Wait a minute" interrupted the
questioner, "I'll put it in another
form. What do you think of union
ism as a means of better conditions?"
"That is easier-I'm glad you chang
ed the form of the question" respond
ed the mayor, laughing. "In answer to

self right. What has it to say for it.
self?

President Roosevelt has decided
once and FOR all that he will not dis.
miss Foreman Miller of the govern
ment printing Office. So the unions
now know just where the president
stands on the question of union labor
in governmental service. If the trade
union is not to be recognized by the
United States, as a nation, why should
it be recognized by any of the labor
employing corporations, which are
merely integral parts of the great
commonwealth?
The question involved in this case
is a vital one. If union labor yields
in the face of Roosevelt's decree, it's
cause is weakened. If it fights and
wins, the victory will be not only of
today, but will have much to do with
the destiny of all trade organizations
