New York Unions Celebrate Acquit-
tai of Haywood.

New York July E.-The acquittal Of
William d. Haywood was the principal
subject Of discussion at the meetings OF
the labor unions in this city to-day. The
acquittal of Haywood was regarded as a
triumph for labor, not only here. but in
all other countries
The principal demonstration took place
at the meeting Of the Central Federated
Union, at which Moses Oppenheimer. the
organizer of the yer-Haywood confer
ence, spoke. Oppenheimer said he did not
come under any false colors, but was a
socialist. whereupOn the socialist dele
gates applauded Oppenheimer said that
Meyer. Haywood, and Pettibone were the
best types of American manhood in the
ranks of the workingmen. If they could
be destroyed under the present force of
law, he said the next attack would be on
the other unions
Theirs was not the fight of three men
merely for their lives ne said, but a
worldwide fight of the working class
against the employing class, and the en-
ploying class against the working class.
and the employing class fought foul"
Oppenheimer said that the conference
would try TO induce Meyer. Haywood. and
PettibOne to come 10 New York, and
asked the unions to give them reception.

plause, and a motion TO arrange for d re-

promising the assistance and active sup
