LABOR CONVENTION
Resolutions Committee Make
a Sensational Report.
A PROTEST AGAINST INJUNCTION'S
All
Friends of Labor Asked to Give
Financial Support to the
Striking Miner.
St. Louis, Aug. 31. Tho labor conven
tion was called to order at 10 o'clock this
morning to listen to the report of the
committee on resolutions. Mr. Bergen
in presenting the resolutions said the re
port was the best the committee could
do under the circumstances. The re
port which is very long, starts off by
saying;
'"The fears of the more watchful
fathers of the republic have been justi
fied and the judiciary has become su
preme with the republic prostrate at the
feet of the judge appointed to administer
the laws.
"Under the cunning form of injunc
tions, the courts have assumed to enact
criminal laws, and have repealed rights
and denied the accused right of trial by
jury. The exercise of the commonest
rights of freedom, the right of assembly,
and the right of free speech have by
legislation under the for tu of injunctions,
been made a crime. Having drawn to
themselves all the powers of the federal
government until congress and the
president may act only by judiciary
permission, the federal judges have be
gun the subjugation of the sovereign
states.
"The pending strike of coal miners
who starved by reason of the scant wages
paid for arduous and dangerous toil, the
pending strike for the right to be fed
enough to make labor possible, has been
prolific of judicial usurpation, showing
the willingness of judicial deepotB to re
sort to the most Ehameless defiance of
decency as well as of the laws of hu
manity, in order to enable heartless
avarice to drive its hungry serfs back to
the mine to faint and die at their drudg
ery, and there remains today not one
guaranteed right of American citizens
unaffected by these subversions of con
stitutional liberty.
"We have met to counsel together,
and have come to the following conclu
sions :
"That, whereas, The present strike of
the coal miners has again demonstrated
the fact that our so-called freedom is
but a stupendous sham while hundreds
of thousands of men, women and chil
dren are starving in hovels and on the
public highways;
"Whereas, Appeals to congress and
the courts for relief are fruitless, since
the legislative, as well as the executive
and judicial powers are under the con
trol ot the capitalistic class, so that
while cattle and swine have the right to
the public highways, Americans, so
called free men, have not.
"Whereas, Our capitalistic class is
armed and has not only policemen,
marshals, sheriffs and deputies, but also
the regular militia in order to enforce
government by injunction, suppressing
lawful assemblage, free speech, and the
right to the public highway, while on
the other hand the laboring men of the
country are unarmed and defenseless,
therefore,
"Resolved, That we hereby set apart
Friday, the 3d of September next, as a
'Good Friday' for the cause of suffering
labor in America and contribute the
earnings of that day to the support of
our struggling brothers, the miners, and
"My Ears
were badiy sunburned. I used Gar
land's Happy Thought Salve, and it
cured them in short order."
Edwin Terrell, Snnnydale, Wash.
"It is a grand thing for sunburn and
tan. I never used anything better."
Mas. Potts, Tacoma, Wash.
"One jar of Garland's Happy Thought
Salve cured me entirely of the severest
case of sunburn I ever bad. I have re
commended it to my friends, who have
all been benefited by it."

appeal to every union man and every
friend of labor throughout the United
States to do likewise.
"Resolved, That if the strike of min
ers is not settled by the 20th of Septem
ber and an announcement made to
that effect by the president of the United
Mine Workers, a general convention be
held at Chicago, September 27, by repre
sentatives of all unions, sections.
branches, lodges and kindred organiza
tions of laboring men and friends of
their cause for the purpose of consider
ing further measures in the intereets of
the striking miners and labor in general.
"Resolved, That public ownership of
a'l railroads is one of the most necessary
reforms of our body politic.
''Resolved, That we most emphatical
ly protest against government by injunc
tion, and be it finally resolved that no
nation in which the people , are totally
disarmed can lone remain a free nation ;
and therefore we urge upon all liberty
loving citizens to remember and obey
article 2 of the constitution of the United
States, which reads as follows: "The
right of the people to keep and bear
arms shall not be infringed."
As soon as the platform was before the
convention dozens of delegates were on
their feet clamoring for recognition.
Delegate Osborn, of Atlanta, Ga., of
fered a resolution to the effect that it
was the sense of the meeting that all
unemployed men in the United States
should apply for admission to the poor
houses of their respective counties. No
action was taken on this resolution, and
the convention went off in a .desultory
debate regarding the resolutions.
Catarrh Cannot be Cnred
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take inter
nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It was was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years, and
is a regular prescription. It is composed
of the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. - The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials,

Work for the Cab a a, Assembly.
New Yoek, Aug. 31. Thomas Estrada
Palma, the representative of the Cuban
provisional government, has received
the official list of deputies to the next
Cuban constitutional assembly, which is
to meet on September 2nd, to elect a
new president, the office of the present

four deputies to the assembly.

have just reached here large bodies of
Spanish troops are being massed in
Camaeuay for the purpose of preventing,
if possible, the meeting of the assembly,

HORRORS OF PRISON LIFE.
Recently Released Cuban Pacifies De
scribe Them.
New Yore, Aug. 31. The Times says :
General Weyler in issuing a recent
pronunciamento declared that three of
the Cuban provinces were pacified, and
ordered that all pacificos who had been
held in durance as suspects should be re
leased. This order gave freedom to 34
young Cnbans who had been prisoners
among others for two and a half years at
the Spanish penal colony of Cueta on
the coast of Morocco. They -were sent
across the straits to Gibraltar and left
there penniless.
Jose Prinelles, of this city, provided
with a subscription fund, has just re
turned here with fifteen of the released
pacificos, this being as many as the
fund enabled him to pay passage for.
The remaining nineteen- are still in
Gibraltar, some with friends, and all
getting food and shelter as best they
can.
There were over 400 men in the prison ,
and many of them were sick, and one
complained he was confined to a cell and
denied medical attendance instead of be
ing sent to a hospital. The prison they
describe as being filthy. No attention
is paid to sanitary conditions. The cells
were gloomy, damp holes, pungent with
musty filth that encrusted the floors.
Of the mortalitv in the prison the pa
cificos knew nothing. They thought of
the place even as they had known it,
with horror, and Mr. Prinelles said they
did not like to recall it. They were sat
isfied to be free.
Many of the returning men do not yet
know what the fate of the members of
their families has been. Some have
been killed in battle, others imprisoned.
Valdez learned last night that a brother
had been killed in battle.
Filibusters Are Active.
Washington, Aug. 31. Recent com
plaints lodged with the state department
by Minister De Lome coupled with re-4
ports from government officers and news
papers, indicate t hat Cuban sympathizers
n this country are making desperate
efforts to aid the struggling insurgents
with war material and men when the
dry season again begins.
Several filibustering expeditions are
known to be nnder way, and ' one, the
Fearless, with men and ammunition,
has successfully eluded the vigilance of
the Spanish officers and American gun
boats, and is now on her way from
Tampa for the Cuban coast. Her de
parture was confirmed by a dispatch re
ceived at the navy department from
the commanding officer of the Helena.
Two othet expeditions, the Dauntless
and Dr. Briggs, are nnder surveillance
by the gunboat Wilmington and a rev
enue cutter on the east coast of Florida.

A Chance for Worden.
Chicago. Aug. 31. Mrs. Mary G.
Jones, of this city, has jnst returned
from Washington, where she visited
President McKinley in behalf of S. D.
Worden, nnder sentence of death in Cal
ifornia for trainwrecking. Mr. Jones
said the president, attorney-general and
Secretary Alger received her most kind
ly, and after she had laid Worden 's case
before them the president assured her
he would give it careful consideration,
and he conld almost promise her in ad
vance that her plea for pardon for the
condemned man would be granted.
Murdered by Weyler's Police.
New York, Aug. 31. A special to the
Herald from Havana says :
Angusto Ariza, a Cuban, and Fernan
do Pasada, a Portuguese, were shot by
policemen in the streets ot this city re
cently. They had just arrived from
Mexico. No reason was given by the
police for the assassinations, bnt It is
thought that General Weyler, who lives
in constant fear of being . killed, sus
pected them of being anarchists.
