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.

of tho pooplo fell in
with somo of tho candi

who were mado recipients of tho lattcr's
hospitality woro James McClaln, of Colorado,
and William Dolohanty, of tho Fineor
Board. At about 11:15 o'clock thoy started
for thoir homes on an electric oar.
During tho journoy and when tho car
was botween Cloary's crossing and LostCrcok,
McClaln and Dolchanty becamo involvod in
an argument over tho merits of somo of tho
political candidates aud it is said that bitter
fooling aroso whon ono of the meu charged
that Mulholland was being sacrificed for
Toolo and tho other said Toole was being
sacrificed for Mulholland.
Tho strugglo which followed was a dosper-
ato ono, and it is considered romarkablo that
it did not rosult murderously. Tho row oc
curred on car No. 21, in chargo of Conductor
John Hosscr aud Motorman Daniel Dec,
Thoy wero unable to quiet tho disturbance.
Indeed, thoy woro kept busy trying to pacify
tho panlc-strcikon women and children on tho
car and trying to keep tlioin out of dangor.
Two of tho ear windows wero smashed in tho
melee.
As tho mon struggled Dolchanty drew a
knife nnd stabbed McClaln in tho back, left
sldoandlog. Notwithstanding his Injuries Mc
Claln continued struggling for the possession
of tho knife and got it in such a position
that tho blade closed and cut oil' tho top of
Dclchanty's llttlo fingers. Later Dolohanty
received a severe cut on ono his wrists. The
meu finally stopped fighting and there was
no further disturbance during the trip. No
arrests havo been mado and it is not thought
either man is dangerously injured.

grasped the hand rails aud held on to them
with such determination as to almost wring
them from their fastenings. Finally ho ro
leased his hold and drew a knife, but as ho
did so tho motdr man jumped forward aud
knocked him otr the car by a blow with the
motor lover. Tho car then proceeded and the
defeated crank was left to swear at tho crew
