Fellow cltlZen, tnlS meeting might
never have beep called. really
regret that there has been felt the
necessity for calling a meeting of
this character because, as matter
of fact, have no defense to make.
! have no explanations TO make.
Senator Sherman did not say much,
He simply talked, 1t was not the
language of senator, it was not
the language of statesman. 1t
was not the language of gentle
man. 1t was not the language of
a fshwife.
He said, that l undertake to
deliver the vote of the working
people of the United States.
Il have said to my fellows gen
orally and specifically what the
records Of men have been in public
life, whether they have served the
cause of the people, whether they
have served the cause of labor, or
whether their action and THAR men
tai attitude was antagonistic, and
to leave to every man freedom to
cast his votes as his judgment and
his patriotism directs. There is on
ly one vote that | can deliver, and
that is my own, End have not un-
dertaken ever to contract or agree
with anyone how that vote shall be
cast. But | have fairly clear con
science and judgment as to how
that vote ought to be cast, and |
am going to cast it as my belief
for those men and for that party
that stands nearest to the heart
and the conscience and the aspira-
tions of the toiling masses of Amer
ica.
The attitude Of the public press
on the q estion Of eight hours fol
railroad employees was referred tc
by the speaker.
II have no desire to make an at
tack upon the press of our country.
merely want you to have the sit
uation as ii is, and you will know
it exactly as we'll as do The
fact of the matter is that either the
press is owned or controlled by tht
great sources Of wealth of America
and further, that they are employ
ers Of labor, and as employers o
labor they are not going 10, aud d.
not, present the labofers side Of
labor question.
I arr merely placing the matte
before you so that you will under
stand it. Perhaps if either of yot
were newspaper Proprietors yol
might be influenced by the SAM
causes. The fac is, whether yot
like it or not, you belong to tn
great mass cf the toilers of Ameri
ca, and whether you like it OF not
your interests are bound up witt
the great cause Of human advance
ment as it is espoused by the mucl
abused and misrepresented labo
moveme Mt of America.
You may have a fair presenta
tion, sometimes, of some question
in the editorial column, save ia
mans OF fairness from such an 10
depreciation.

Long Exploited Grocer Clerks
Now on Strike in New York.
ROuIStOn DaVey, Butler, and Many
Other Chains Feel Force of Unions.


Over 500 grocery clerks working
Ia chain stores stopped work Sep
tember g. in answer to strike call
from President +. +. Baker of the
Retail Clerks international Union.
Several hundred other grocery
clerks were scheduled to quit at
noon, September, Z, but their en-
ployers anticipated this action by
settling with the union early in the
day.
Thos. Roulstan, who operated
about 200 stores in Brooklyn,
signed the full union agreement.
Several minutes later came word to
President Baker at the Hotel Con
tinental that P Parker, who runs
sixty shops in upper Manhattan,
had capitulated Late the night
before the eighty five stores of the
Eagle Grocery Company in New
Jersey had been won over
After Bigger Stores.
With these substantial victories,
the unonist turned their attention
to the larger stores, James Butler
Andrew Davey, Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea company, National
Stores company and later the more
influential stores, such as Park &
Tilfold and Acker- Mer1all & Con
dit company.
The temper of the clerks who
failed to strike was not improved
Ly the sight of the Roulston and
Parker men quitting at union time,
8 p m. Many of the stores par
ticularly the Butler shops, compel
their clerks TO slave TO all hours
Z or s or even S:3O o clock. Also,
the victorious men will begi1 work
ing half an hour later in the morn
ing than formerly
The shorter wo1kdav is the main
point at issue. The union demand
is for 6 p. M. closing time for FIVE
days in the week aud 10 p M on
Saturdays. A 8l5 minimum wage
IS also asked for with commission
Of | per cent on all sales.
Strikers Picketing.
The 800 strikers Immediately
went on the picket inc Sept. 8.
Their halls and meeting places are
50 numerous that the officials
themselves hadn't Lad time to col
lect complete reports from all
quarters.
President Baker Of the union de-
scribed conditions in the Butler
stores IS about the worst the clerks
have to contend with
James Butler himself meets
these young Irish, lads, down on
Ellis Island, he said He takes
them under his protecting wing,
and, under the guise of friendship,
exploits them to the limit These
young immigrants, who have been
earning their one pound eight or
ten in the old country, thinks the
SIS wage they get from Butler is a
fair wage. Then they think they re
under personal obligation to Butler
for the interest he has taken in
them. AS matter cf fact, the ex-
ploitation they are subjected to Is
among the black spots in working
class history"

The runor IL that II began with the
walrus and the carpenter. No. not the
ones in Alice in Wonderland" hut a
walrus at the New York Aquarium and
a carpenter In the employ OF the city.
The walrus. goes the story. heard the
carpenter talking about the garden party
the animals In the Bronx zoe give each
year to the board Of managers OF the
New York Geological Society. and told
the rest Of the fishes they %oughtn't to al
low any long necked CRATES and un-
wleldy elephants to come II over them
in the matter of hospitality. That was
three years ago. Soon cards were out for
a reception anon the tanks, and the re-
cep,iun is now a regular function.
The Aquarium looked very nice last
and all the piscatorial Four Hundred
were there. with an extra polish on their
fins to welcome the humans who fiocked
to see them. The l;retmochelys Imbrica-
tor. the Thala ssochelys Caretta. the Chel-
onia Mydas. the Scorppna Plunicri, the
Gingly mostoma Clrratutn, and all the
others of the Blue Sea Book were there.
The California sea lion was one of
the features nf the occasion. He was
in excellent voice. and accompanied Sc
~lections from the Mikado. played by an
orchestra OF ten pieces. hidden mon
palms near his tank. with impromptu bits
from one OF Wagner's operas-just
which one canno he recalled at the
moment. He also gave his celebrated
imitation called The Fountain In Action.
II was heartily enjoyed by everybody
except the girls. those gowns got a bit
too much of the briny.
Later In the evening there were re-
freshments-iCe cream and punch and
~ on for the humans, and other things
Tor the porpoises. The fish didn't really
care about eating. having just finished
dinner. but as the visitors expressed a
desire TO see the PROPOSES fed the latter
agreed to oblige.
Dancing ended the entertainment The
managers Of the reception wanted the
new Silape:s TO suppress tins fact. because
the :. /. 4. y. may think it wrong to
keep the fishes awake 50 long with cleo
tr,c lights right over their tanks. and
dancing might be considered the last
straw IN their undoing hut take note
that the FISH did not dance-only the
young men and ma.drns. Thus en-
planned, the statement seems harmless.
