IN HONOR OF MITCHELL.
Great Demonstration of Labor UnIsn
at Mass-MeetinE I'm Chicago.

Chicago, February 16.-Six thousand
people crwoded the auditorium tonight
at the demonstration of the local labor
unions in honor of John Mitchell, pres
ident of the United Mine Workers. The
greatest enthusiasm was shown when
Mr.. Mitchell appeared on the platform
ana his speech later in the evening
was received with cheers. Henry Lloyd
OF Gnlcaso. spoke in part as follows:
mere was a louder cry for federal
IN Pennsylvania in 1902 than
in Illinois in 1894. but the cry was not
answered. The troops did not move.
lherc was a soldier in the White
House. not a corporation lawyer. and
the soldier knew what the rropar uses
of soldiers are. But the soldiers might
have gone in if the coal m~onopolists
had held out fOrty-eight hours longer
IN the practical policy Of famine and
defiance, but not to help them drive
the miners into the mines. The SOL
Ciers might have gone into keep the
peace. while federal judges took DOS
session of the mines, as receivers. by
due process of law. and invited the
miners in the name of the people to
mine coal for the people.
Where Cleveland gave us military
u~surpation and government by in
functions, Roosevelt has given us ar
~bitration-the boldest and greatest act
of recent StateSmanShip- a short cut
across lots in the real American style.
1T is literally. scientifically ac-
Curately, alarmin~ly true, that between
the PEOPLE and the money and monop
oily power-that much trouble of all
tyrannies-there stands today but one
-ganizatiO that can hold the fort
while the people rally. That is the or
ganiZation of labor.
The best friends the people have to-
day are the unions of the working men.
We must keep them from being de-
stroyed. We must learn the lesson
they teach. The people must organize
if they would survive.
After an address by Clarence s. OAR

mendation. He aswed for immediate
action and as there was no opposition.
Mr.. Corteiyou was confirmed.
Few men in American public lifa to-
day are more widely or more favorably
known than Secretary George Bruce
CortelyOu. For years he has occupied
a prominent place in the interest of
the people and the exemplary III
in which he has met every emergency
