petition, there may not have been exactly
10000 names; the number may have ex-
ceeded 10000. judging from the number OF
petitions which came TO me and were for
warded to Pawtucket union for presenta-
tion with their bill. II the committee on
special legislation has lost or cannot find
the eight-hour bill referred to, II is pos
sible also that they have lost or cannot
find few more petitions bearing a few
more thousand names.
"Of course quantity counts when num-
bers Is the measure, but the facts remain
that the general assembly ignored petit
ton bearing nearly 10000 names, and
pigeon-hoed the act.
This is precisely the course followed
bv the Republican general assembly in
many similar Instances. For several
years citizens OF the state have presented
TO the general assembly petitions asking
for legislation or changes In the funda-
mental law. Almost all OF these have
been ignored.
There is a great principle at stake, a
great right. a necessary privilege In a
representative government The Repub,
lican machine has apparently determined
to discourage the right OF petition. The
correspondence between Colonel Gross
and Mr.. Burchard sufficiently discloses
tho essential facts.
II began circulating the resolutions con-
utHnlnR the ftepuDllcdnS aDOnt ten DAYS
ago. The resolutions were indorsed first
by PawtI cket Typographical union and
then by the State Federation of Labor
In most OF the unions to which they are
presented their reception is cordial and
Endorsement generally follows unanimous
ly.
'In the ten days since the resolutions
were sent out nearly n score OF unions
have indorsed them. One reason is the
fact that the men who signed the Free
man complaint are members OF the unions
To which the resolutions are presented,
and they have not forgotten how the gem
c,al assembly acted.
Labor men generally are taking more
than the usual interest IN politics. and
this specific Instance OF insolently ignor-
ing the demands OF labor, when brought
home. as II is In the resolutions adopted
by the Typographical union. carries with
IL conviction that the party responsible
sor the result should be punished.
"Can Colonel Gross or Mr.. Bouchard
present an instance in which the Repub-
lican general assembly has accorded 10 a
popular petition the treatment which
courtesy and a due regard for the right OF
petition require?"
