QUINLIvAN SELL
OUT EXPOSED BY
GARFIELD LABOR
Endorsement of Burke
Scored at Meeting

GARFIELD, n. J., Oct. %. -
At mass meeting held at Belmont
Park last night by the United Labor
Ticket a resolution was adopted de-
nouncing the withdrawal from the
mayoralty race of Joseph P. Quin-
livan, independent candidate, who
had recently accepted the United
Labor ticket program.
The statement sharply condemns
Quinlivan, who after withdrawing en-
dorsed Mayor Burke for reelection.
Burke, an official of the Botany
Worsted Mills, was a bitter opponent
of the workers during the last textile
strike.
The speakers at last nights meet
ing were Gus Deak, candidate for
councilman, second ward; John Di
Santo, 4th ward, and Felix Panerisi,
third ward. John Marshall, cam
paign manager, also spoke.
Resolution Adopted.
The resolution reads as follows:
"The withdrawal of Joseph F.
Quinlivan from the mayoralty race in
favor of Mayor Burke is a fortunate
thing for the working people Of Gar
field. We say this not because we
favor the election Of the reactionary
Burke but because Quinlivan's move
exposes him for what he is; wolf
in sleeps clothing.
cat meeting in Belmont Oct. 6,
Mr.. Quinlivan, denounced the Burke
administration for its fragrant waste
of the tax payers money and stated
that if Burke was reelected hundreds
of working people would lose their
homes, due to the Burke tax policy.
Now this same Quinlivan is with
drawing from the race in favor Of
the man and party he has denounced.
Refused to Be Active.
"Quinlivan dropped out of the race
for mayor only after we warned him
that he must be more active on the
labor program. We objected also to
his creating job for his ward heller
Gotthold Rose at salary of $1,000.
Burke and his hackers have no doubt
taken good care of Quinlivan out of
the booty that Quinlivan formerly
limited Burke had appropriated.
Burke, Strikebreaker.
"Mr. Quinlivan, who a few days ago,
signed his name to the platform of
the United Labor Ticket, is embrac
ing Burke, the agent of the mill own
ers, Burke who brought Sheriff MINI
mo and his gang of deputies in to
crush the strike of the textile work
ers, Burke whose police force during
the strike arrested some 200 workers
who were making fight for better
wages and working conditions.
Back to G. o. P.
"Quinlivan says as a republican
who has upheld the party and is will
ing to sacrifice all personal ambitions
for republicanism:
II feel that it is my duty to may
people, my party and myself to assist
in presenting a solid republican front
to the attacks which seek to blacken
Garfield's name
mo, the fair name of Garfield has
not been blackened and cannot be
blackened by a few attacks of dis
gruntled politicians. The fair name of
Garfield has for year been blackened
by low wages and long hours in the
mills and the consequent degradation
and poverty of the majority of the
citizens. Garfield's fair name has been
doubly blackened by the conduct of
Mayor Burke, the Botany official who
in the interest of the mill owners did
everything in his power to drive the
underpaid textile mill workers back
into the mills to accept standard of
living which forced father, mother
and children to work in order to sup
port the family.
Repudiated by Workers.
Mr.. Quinlivan signed the platform
of the United Labor Ticket, the Good
Government League of Passaic and
vicinity endorsed them, for these rea-
sons we supported him. Now we can
only say that we are fortunate to be
rid of his association before a possible
election of office with him. Quinlivan.
the labor lover, and Burke the strike
breaker, stand together. The workers
OF Garfield will repudiate them at the
coming elections by voting for the
platform and candidates of the U. L. T.
the only ticket in the field that offers
a program for the advancement of the
welfare of the majority of the inhabi
tants of Garfield"
