Mr.. Atwater stated that he had posi-
tive assurance from Mr.. Walton that
he and his associates OF the Labor
Club would meet representative
committee Of conservative citizens and
discuss terms by which the club would
go out of business. At this stage of
the proceedings NJ J. Evans arose and
read the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, BY the citizens of Canon
City. Colorado. in mass meeting as
sembled this sixteenth day of July,
1906. after due notice of the meeting
and after full consideration being had,
with all shades of belief represented
in the discussion of the subject.
That, without reference to party af-
filiation or to cherished beliefs on the
temperance question. we believe the
upholding OF law and order to be very
necessary TO the welfare of the COM
munity and to the good name of our
city.
Resolved. That we commend the
common council in its efforts for the
enforcement of law and that we here
by extend to the members thereof and
to the peace officers also, our encour-
agement and moral support in the
complete discharge of their duties
Resolved. That while many lines
of procedure have been suggested, we
recommend that at this time the chair
appoint a committee of fifteen repre-
sentative citizens-men holding views
on both sides of the question-and that
this committee be requested to confer
with the manager of the Labor Club,
explaining to them that a continuance
of the present conditions cause great
injury to the business interests OF the
city, placing the community in a false
light before the country at large. that
the conservative element stands SOL
idly for Law and order and that the
present conditions must not be toler-
ated.
Under the, provisions of the resolu-
tions the following committee was ap-
pointed: DR.. 7. B. Moore. G. R. Tan
ner. George Baker. Henry Hutton.
Charles e waldo, C. ]. Fredrickson. c.
NJ. Ward. q. v. Hodgin. J. W. Cannon.
g. H. Atwater. A. E. Wilson, Charles
Swanson. Dali Deweese. DR. G. c.
Lamb. C. c. Patton
Mr.. Davis was made ex-ofiicio chair
man of the committee. No time was
set for a conference with Mr.. Walton
and the board of directors of the Can
on City Labor Club but 1t is expected
that IL win take place in few days.
