More than two weeks ago members of
the Executive Board of the Stockyard IS
Labor Council and the Organization
Committee planned to have a monster
parade and organization demonstration
On the South Side for the purpose of
showing the numerical strength of the
organization which was to terminate in
of the workers who have not as yet
joined the union.
Someone with more auth GRITTY and in
suenee than common sense, apparently
got in a hard knock by painting hor-
rible picture of some terrible unseen
evil that would be the direct cause of a
race riot in case the parade was staged
as it had been planned, and most
naturally some fell for this capitalistic
bunco game, and the result was that a
police messenger on motorcycle made
two flying trips to the StOckyard s
Labor Council headquarters late Sat
nrday afternoon, summOning all the
speakers on the program TO the Chief of
Policies Office post haste.
President John Fitzpatrick of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, Presi-
dent Martin p Murphy of the Stock.
yards Labor Council Secretary J. w
tombstone and Organizer John Kikulski
held a conference with the heads of the
police department and were compelled
10 change the plans to conform with the
wishes of those who claimed that they
desired to avoid disaster or probably
the permit would have been revoked;
and yet the history of the labor move
ment has proven beyond all reasonable
doubt that when people get together and
understand each other, there is nt
chance for misunderstanding that vii
cause what these people claim they ex
pected to be the result of this parade Oh
the South Side. Those who are in power
will eventually, through some legal pro
cedure or technically, deny the working
men and women the right to ever
breathe in their presence if such were
possible. We would not be surprised il
some idle parasite attempted TO have
the natural laws governing the universe
changed to conform with his idea OF
Whist a working man or woman should
have and probably some fanatic will
come forward with formula or some ad
vanced scientific thought for the benefit
of these people that would like TO see
all workers born minus brain with g
strong physique and nothing else to con
form With what is generally considered

Tuesday morning, July sth, the ele-
waited train committee came in contact
with q small town comedian who imag-
ined he could have little sport by
irving to kid some of the workers. he
remarked that they had better get q
job as they all appeared to be hungry,
but was told by Bro. Andrew Holmes
that il he were not hungry he must
have a strong stomach 10 relish food OF
any kind and still keep the job that
he has in the Stockyards, as he had met
him ON one or two occasions and if he
had brains enough he would join the
union and through its aid, attempt to
have the dirty job he was holding abol-
ished To this the comedian made no
reply.
Wednesday, July 9th, the Wilson Com
pany case was again brought before
by the packers attorneys. The latter,
after irving TO show how unjust the
workers were in trying 10 prevent
trouble, attempted to ask questions and
answer them for the witnesses in the
ease, which is impossible. Guess every
body understood.
John Kikulski, Martin p. Murphy,
Andrew Holmes, Robert Bedford and
Others stood guard and endeavored to
protect the interest of the men.
