SIGN STRONG RESOLUTIONS Join In Widespread Movement to Request Intervention by Powers .lnst ex-Appropriation Bill ow tmler Consideration. At a mass meeting held in Davis' hall in Lower Albina yesterday after noon, attended by members of the two Polish societies of Portland and other cittaenp. conditions of the Pol ish people living under the Prussian government were discussed. J. C CieBerskt was elected chairman, and J. Kosrtolek. secretary of the local Polish society, acted as clerk of the meeting. The chairman announced that the National Polish Alliance of Otilrago had undertaken to relieva the conditions of . their countrymen in Prussia by an appeal to the Christian nations of the world, and thus bring influence and prwsurc to bear on the Prussian government, lie said that an expression had been asked from all the Polish organizations, which in cluded thu two Portland societies. Resents Land Policy. Mr. Gezerski said that the Prussian government had adopted harsh meas ures against the Polish people under its dominion, and recently had set in motion plans by which the lands on which the Polish people lived were to be bought and settled by Germans, and that parliament bad appropriated money for thi purpose. To prevent this being carried out there was a widespread movement. The meeting adopted a long pre- amble and resolutions setting forth the grievances of the Polish people. The resolutions which will be presented to the Oregon delegation in Congress, were as follows: Resolved. That the representatives of the Polish organizations, press, literary and edu cational Institutions of the United States nf North America, representing 3.000.000 Ameriran citizens of Polish birth or descent, do hereby express our deepest indignation at the Prussian government, whose treat ment of the Pol we deem a dl?srace and a stigma not only to the German nation but also the whole civilized world. Resolved. That we call the attentoio of the American public and all civilized na tions to the great danger to the existing social order tn the Introduction by a great Imperial power of measures attacking the inviola-bility of private property. Appeal Made to America. Resolved. That we appeal to the nobl American Nation, which has so hospitably received us and which In all its history never turned a deaf ear to the cry of the wronged, and to all other nations of the civilised world, to raise their powerful voice of indignation at the unparalleled outrages perpetrated by the Prussian government upon the Polish people. Resolved. That we most earnestly urg citiiwns of all civilized nations, to whom this protest is addressed, to u?e all the In fluence In their power to dissuade the Ger man people from the enactment of the pro posed "Iandtag" legislation against the Polish people. Resolved. That in the "name of our mothers, sisters and wives, who shudder aghsst at the thought of the real tragedies which must inevitably follow the forcible eviction of Polish families from their an cestraJ homes, we ask all the women of the world who love their fireside to Join In our appeal against this wanton disregard of the most savred rights of mankind. I'nder the German code, the destruction of bird nests is prohibited. Are only the family nests of the Poles to be the spoils of vindictive .ness and violence? Seek Aid of All Nations. Resolved. That for the.e reasons, we cftl ens of the United States, do hereby unani mously, energetically and solemnly protest before the forum of all cultured and liberty loving nation of the world. Resolved. That w e express our sense of deepest gratitude to the representatives of other nations, who by Indignantly protesting against these proposed measures raised hign the standard of justice. Resolved. That to our brethren in Prussia we send our deepest sympathy and express our greatest admiration for their heroic en durance In the- presence of unheard-of calamities which had befallen them. We invoke to their assistance the aid of divine providence and" firmly believe that the in born moral strength, energy and resistance of the Poles will finally prevail over the outrages and persecutions of the Prussian government. Resolved. Anally. That this protest be pub lished in four languages and copies thereof be sent to the President of the t'nlted States, members of his Cabinet, members of Con gress, representatives of foreign power, newspapers, educational and scientific Insti tutions of all civilized nations. May this voice raised In behalf of the oppressed and persecuted find an echo in all noble hearts' P. 8. Intelligence baa reached us that the Russian government, following the ex ample of Prussia, has closed 16M Polish private schools, which were sustained by voluntary subscriptions of the- Poles.
