PRATER PREFACES MASS MEET
l.NG LAST NIGHT.
Dignified and Gentlemanly Preseuta
tion of Arguments Heard by Many.-
Affairs of big moment to the sti Ik
erg on the Harriman and Illinois Cen.
tral railroad lines were discussed in
an Informal manner last night at thej
Steward opera house when a strik-t'
meeting: attended by about
400 men and women heard Joe P. Ryan
of Kansas City propound strike issues
from the viewpoint of an international ;
official of the Boiler Makers' union
The principal address was prefaced
by prayer by Rev. Upton H. Olbbs and
throughout the entire meeting thor
was a prevailing spirit of dignity arid
reverence for the many ladies In the
audience. 'At no time did Mr. Ryan
become Invective and the audience was
well pleased with his gentlemanly al
titude at all times.
Lecture Lacks Interest.
Only a few phases of general Inter
est to the unbiased public were dis
cussed. Ignoring completely that mo
mentuous epoch In labor annalfj th.
McNamara confessions and falling to
touch upon conditions as they are seen
from the angle of the strikers in Ore
gon and other westem cities, Mn Ryan
failed to elucidate on what most of
the audience wanted to hear recited

particularly, were working five days

the spring and summer, drawing sal

this was a condition, "the men In the

Shopmen Made "Goats." "
i All tb time that the shopmen were
worked on short hours, lap shift and
no overtime, the Harriman line was
double tracking Us lines to the coaati

lines but got most of Ha cash for this

order to Improve their properties, the
companies reduced the shopmen's
pay, and that Is why, principally, that

In this connection he took exception
to the statements often made that
many of the union men who walked
out did so from a sense of duty to their
unions and not because they were ac

they were. He branded as a He on

"Ninety-seven per cent walked o it
65 days ago," be said, "and of this
number none were forced out they
wanted to strike. They had been

the time came to vote they voted to
