Tho MtiflM Meeting In ItnbblnV Open II 011 mi VcHlnrdny Was Not 11 Hlg Succchh Numerically, Hut tho Spirit Tor Organi zation Appears Very .Strong. "y -QIE mass meeting of tho miners and laborers of this section called hy Mr. Georgo Harris in his eirorts to re-organtzo tho Miners' and Labor ers Amalgamated Asso ciation was not such a great success us far as tho attendance of tho men wero concorncd, hut as to Inclination to organizo and onthusl asm over tho suggostiou that tho old association ho tho leading spirit expectations wero fully realizod. Tho meeting was hold in Robblns' opera house. Tho men woro slow in getting to the placo, hut about half an hour aftor tho timo fixed 2 o'clock thcro woro between 100 and 150 rooplo seated in tho hall. All wero adults and men who work in and about tho mines. A number of them woro of tho Poliih and Lithuanian olemont. Mr. Harris opened the inocting with a brief address preceding tho introduction of Dr. Szlupas. Tho organizer said that tho crowd was not as. largo as ho had expected to find, but it compared very favorably in both numbers and material with tho first meetings held in this region during tho first introduc tion of tho M. & I,. A. A. and ho folt suffic ieutly encouraged to stato that another meet ing would 60W seeds for an organization which would attain a membership of from COO to 800 within a month. Dr. Szlupas was then introduced. lie asked permission of tho audienco to first spoak in tho Lithuanian lauguago and did so. This occupiod about ten minutes, aflcrt which tho doctor road tho following address In Eng lish. Gentlemen and Bkotiieiis: Tho present organization of human society Is not an IdeRl one. As In tho times of antiquity there aro rich and poor classes. Thero aro social ranks the rich, tho educated, tho ruling classes on tho ono side; tho poor, tho unedu cated, tho ruled and oppressed on tho other. Tho ono lives in luxury and plenty; tho other in misery and distress. Now tho oppressed classos, tho mob, aro tho producers of wealth, tho creators ot commodities. It is natural, and wo would expect it, that tho producers should be the legal consumers of their pro ducts. In tho meantime we find that the nou-productlve labor if wo call It so earns more than the real workors who oxpend their tnufoular lorce and their nervous strength. If wo estimate- tho yearly productions of the United States to be worth twelvo million thousand dollars, three-fourths of this goos to the bonefit of tho higher classes and only one-fourth of tho national wealth roaches tho huts of the poor, tho working and destitute classes. Now, who compose tho highor classes? In tho first placo, tho capitalists, monopolists and millionaires, who organize trusts, who desplso nnd at tho same timo fear tho bees of society ? Then follows tho army of clergy, which hold in its hands largo estates at present, great funds, all of which aro exempt from taxation and other social duties. At last there is the government with a long list of officers, police, army and militia." Continuing Dr. Szlupas said, "Tho working hands creato all tho wealth, yet tho laborer is hungry ; build houses and palaces, yot tho workers livo in stinking bee-hives, so badly ventilated, dark and filthy that tho cattle might often commlserato tho fato of tho poor man. Plenty of clothing is thore, yet tho working people walk about badly clothed ; tho wealth of tho nation is increasing every year, yet the integral portion, the dynamic portion of sooiety, is kept poor, emaciated, sickly and uneducated." In conclusion Dr. Szlupas said tho remedy for this is organization, education and agita tion. Tho power of the higher classes consists in their organizations ; the perdition and misfortune ot tho poor lies in their contrlfugal tendencies. Organization at tho same time is a mighty instrument for educa tion, especially if meetings for discussions of the labor questions could be organized. After Dr. Szlupas concluded his addresses and the applause whioh followed them had died out Mr. Harris advanced on the stago and prefaced au address by complimenting tho doctor. Mr. narrls reverted in his re marks to the early days of the M, & L. A. A. and tho difficulty ho experienced in getting the organization on Its feet and in support of his movement to re-organize he said there wasn't a man who belonged to it who did not reap more benefit In one month at the time the Association Induced the Reading Company to withdraw the notice of five per cent, reduction than he paid into the Aatocia tloa in any one year. He aaid that if the the organ button had been kept up and was in extatenoeto day the men would be in a far better condition than they are at present. Mr. Harris ttl that unfortunately he was not in a position to prove tho assertion, but ho felt confident that tho Beading Company m m fSjfr inllucncod men to go into tho Knights of Labor and dosort tho M. & L. A. A.; that seeds of discord wero bowii at tho time of tho coal companios of the authracito region, and had they not kopt men from tho M. Si L. A. A. nnd en couraged them to go into tho Knights of Labor the former organization would havo boon strong to-day. Mr. Harris said ho did not wish to oast any reflection upon the K. of L. The organization itself is a good one and it has a higher and nobler object than that of regulating wages, but it was not dosignod for a trades union. Each craft should havo a different association and tho miners and laborers should havo a union consisting exclusively of thomsolvos; tho men working In nnd around tho mines should ho tho officers and tlioy should bo ablo to conduct their atTairs without tho dictations of others, becauso tho mon from thoir own ranks better understand thoir condition and being better acquainted with tho details of tho craft nro bettor quallfiod to deal with tho companios. Mr. Harris said ho had mot somo men who had told him ho would experience difficulty in ellbcting an organization becauso tho 1. & R. company is now working Its collieries nino hours a day and six days a week, and paying fivo per cent, abovo tho basis. Tho speakor thought that an argument In favor of tho movement, for whilo they havo work tlioy can organize and put something in their treasuries for a rainy day. "Tho fivo por cent.," ho said, "is only au accident. Tho men nro only receiving It because tho com panies by accident drew throo of tho host collieries iustoad of threo of tho worst. If tho men wore organized there would bo no necessity for reductions. Thoy could control tho output and koop tho market prices in healthy condition, nnd in return demand a fair and just return for thoir labor. As it is tho markot Is always supplied, regardloss of what tho cost of tho output is." Mr. Harris said ho did not believo in strikes. He never was a striker and nover defended them. All evils can bo remedied without rosorting to them if tho men will govern themselves as thoy should. Shenandoah, Mr Harris said, has raoro minors and mino laborers than any other placo In Schuylkill county and for that reason ho thought tho miners of tho town should tako tho inltiativo in tho ro-organlza tion movomcut. IJoforo concluding ho said ho did not believo In tho secret feature of labor organizations. It ia a farco. If the men are not loyal to themselves tho oath will not make them so. When they are hound to secrecy it is an incontivo to the corporations to ilud out what is going on on tho inside and to got that, if thoy can't get volunteors, will pay somo hireling to let them know what goes on. Labor should only ask what is honestly and fairly due and if the wage earners only ask this and aro properly united and managed they need not bo ashamed. Aftor concluding his remarks Mr. Harris asked tho meeting if tho sentiment was in favor of organization. A vote was taken and Mr. Harris announced the result as "almost nnauimous. Nearly a hundred hands woro raised." Several suggestions touching upon another meeting were made by men in the audience and it was finally decided to meet again next Tuesday evening, at 7 o'clock, in Robbing' opera house, to organize permanently.
