desired To attend the meeting.

While the men were marching
through the streets, a full battalion of
infantry under Major Kramer was sent
through Iaurium. the command divid-
ing into it's company units To traverse
side streets and uniting in full strength
as it reached the principal thorough
fares
Thousands of spectators watched the
rival parades but the crowds We're
apathetic and demonstrations We're
noticeably lacking.

at the meeting from the striking rail-
road shop men at Grand Rapids:
| Miller Asks Industrial Justice.
| Mr. Miller pleaded for industrial
| Justice" asserting that the companies
| had violated fundamental ethics i'm re-
fusing a conference with representa- =
tives OF their employees and criticisms
| indirectly the action of Governor Fer
ris in sending troops into the district
He counselled passive resistance t.
the operators tactics, saying:
"All the working people need to dc
is to fold their arms for the next ten
days and then Manager MacNaughtor
of the Calumet Il Hecla will not be
| talking so freely about his blacklist
Instead he will be asking you fellows
20 save the whole conglomerate lod,
from caving in and you will do 1t. too
when he treats you right. We bea,
no grudges against anybody but we
fight for better homes and better din
ners. II that interferes with dividends
the dividends must take the worst O.
IT,"
But one thing is of supreme i'm
portance and that is the progress OF

Criticizes Governor Ferris.
In proposing the address To the gov
ernor, which again invited the state
executive To make q personal nspec-
ton Of the district, Mr.. Miller wished
that the governor could become u
irammer for one day "One hour would
be enough" called one of the work
men, and the crowd cheered.
81 fear the governor has made a fat :
nj mistake in turning his ear towards
the corporations, instead of the toll
ers," said Miller. IF that is so, his
tory will put him alongside Peabody of
colorado. We might have had more
charity for him " the press had not
been filled for weeks with the reveal =
tons Of the strike breaking methods
of the National Manufacturers Asso-
lciation. Yet In the face OF these dis
closures he hurls troops into Hough-
ION county and then advises us To get
together ana settle our differences
That Is impossible unless the com
ranles viii meet u.s."
Mr., Miller compared this strike with
the Civil war and other strifes for vic
tory and said this Is u war which Is
being fought To unite east and west
Quite and Arizona with Michigan
camps). as the Civil war preserved the
union If the North and South. "Durino
the last three years." he said. "the ad
vantoges presented In the Michigan
district did not prevent the emigration
Of i've thousand men from here. most
cf whom went west"
