too much to pay and also on the
ground that It was a political move.
After two others had spoken In op
position to the measure, Mr.. G. J
Ericsson got up and opposed 1t ON
THE GROUND THAT IT WAS A
POLITICAL MOVE. In no part Of
his talk did he say that he was in
favor of the minimum wage, but he
stated that he was In favor of a FAIR
WAGE.
Let me state right here that the
meeting was composed of candidates
and business men, and only two work
| ing men were present to my knowl
edge. Only two spoke In favor of the
measure, one who was workingman
and one business man.
Mr.. Ericsson got up the second time
after the above two had spoken, and
said that he wanted to be understood
that he was in favor of FAIR
WAGE. A good political move, nc
doubt, from his standpoint.
In conclusion let me say that Mr.
Ericsson is on the fence. He cannot
deny that he was opposed to the meas
ure in the first place on the grounds
that 1t was a political move. Every
union man knows that the move was
demanded of the city commissioners
by the Trades Council. Even though
It be a political move, Mr.. Ericsson
should have been in favor of 1t II he
is a friend of labor, as he states. We
want to drive home to the reader the
fact that Mr. Ericsson thought that he
was among business men, and that 1t
was a good political move, seeing that
the majority of the league present
seemed to oppose it. We want it to
be understood also that the particular
kind of business men that opposed 1t
were men that would benefit by the
defeat of this measure, namely, con-
tractors, transfer men and lawyers.
Mr. Ericsson, if elected to office, will
hold the key to any strike situation
that may occur in this city He has
already shown his colors, and now
that he sees it was a bad break he
wants to make me out liar. But
those few words that he said convinc-
ed me of the position he would take
in the case of a strike. 1t is very ap-
parent that what he says now is done
in order to catch votes.
