Whereas, This condition was made
possible by the banding together of
a number of so-called citizens who
were unduly excited and alarmed over
possible commercial losses, became an
easy prey to lot of open brutality.
and intolerable oppression against
these defenseless men and women.
which went so far that cold-blooded
murder was committed in the lynch
ing of two men, neither of whom were
working at the trade of cigarmaking,
but who were suspected of completely
in the shooting affair which occurred
on one of the crowded streets.
Whereas, the action of this Citizens
committee, led by it's open-shop fana-
to disrupt and destroy all unions if
possible in that city, as we'll as being
outrageously unfair to the lockout
cfgarmakers,
Therefore be it resolved by the
Duluth Federated Trades assembly, in
regular meeting assembled, that we
characterize the action of the Citizens
committee, manufacturers and others
involved and responsible, as being un-
fair, unwarranted, un-American, un-
manly, unlawful and brutal in the
extreme, and we hereby denounce it
as such.
Resolved Further, that the action OF
this Citizens committee of Tampa,
Fla. bellies the southern fairness and
a square deal, especially in so far as
il applies to Tampa, Fla.
Resolved, that in view of the action
SO justly complained against, and
which we denounce as a high handed,
outrageous interference with the in
alienable rights. of the workers of
that or any other city, we hereby
pledge the cigarmakers of Tampa,
Fla, our Individual, collective and
moral support, and to back the same
with our financial resources, if found
to be necessary.

ferred to certain proposed innova-

Washington correspondents declare
that the most important fact in re-

which has just been submitted by
President Taft Is the certainty that
it will not become a law.

an extra session being called, and
only a remote possibility in the com
ing congress which begins it's work

Mr.. Kitchen, chairman of the
special committee. tells US there
will be other prizes offered. In
tense interest is being taken in
this feature, and it will prove to
big success. If it meets the an
ticipations of the fellows who are
pushing it, a move will be put on
foot to make it an annual affair,
and prehaps state headquarters
will be established. If this is
done, no doubt the future opera
tions of the organization will be
on a huge scale, and will take
more than a day to pull it off. 1t
