GR|LLED R. A. POMADT
cANDLDATEF FOR CONGRESS
HIT BY UNION MEN
He Was Put On Carpet BY Organ
izations At Mortified
Recently

Mortified, Mimi, October 4.-Ac-
cording to the Northfield papers,
Mortified labor union men did not
give very rolite reception to R. A.
Pomadt, Faribault candidate for con-
gress, when he was in that city for
meeting on behalf of his candidacy
for congress in the third district,
which includes North Mankato.
A feature of the meeting was the
union from the Minnesota Federation
Of Labor because of its political ac-
tivities. 1t is stated that the North
field Carpenters union will take sim
liar action at its next meeting.
y After Mr.. Pomadt had made his
address, he was subjected an IAN
extended Cross examination" accord
Ing to The Northfleld News, which
adds the following account of the
meeting:
War After the Votes.
"One local union man demanded to
know his relation othe Nonpartisan
league. In reply Mr.. Pomadt de-
clared that he was not q member Of
the league and did not believe in its
principles, but that he aligned him
self with the league In order to get
the votes.
What does the laborer have in
common with the farmerY was an
other question flashed at the sneaker.
The laboring man wants shorter
hours and higher wages, while the
farmer wants low wages and long
hours Mr.. Pomadt replied. We
have got to have the farmer because
he has the bank roll"
Favored Prison Labor.
Another member recalled that Mr..
Pomadt as mayor of Faribault had
employed prisoners on the streets
instead Of free labor. Mr.. Pomadt
declared that this was done In order
to save the city money. The cues
toner retorted by saying that this
occurred at time when there was
unemployments. and when, accord
Ing to Mr.. Pomadt's own statement,
he was giving charity to the poor
who were unable to get work.
