The Watchman-Warder Mayor Walters Called the meeting to order and after uttering a strong but temperate address dealing with strikes in general and this one in particular and expressing his hearry sympathy with the men, he asked Ex-Mayor Taylor to preside since he had to leave to attend a meeting of council. The speakers of the evening were: Barrister R. J . McLau hlin, .Police Magistrate Steers, Barrister . R. Ander- son, Rev. J.,W. Macmillan, Mr. R. Kylie, Rev.:C. H. Marsh, Dr. W. L. Herriman. Rev. L. S. Hughson, Rev. J. McFarlane, Alderman J. H. Lennon, J. Boxall, County Councillor Graham, Rev. Mr. McNamara. Each of these gentlemen spoke vigorously and all arreed that the men's contention was a just one; that company is endanger- ing the public safety; and that public sentiment should be brou ht to bear in every possible way to o tain for the strikers wnat they ask. Our space does net permit giving even an outline” of these addresses but they were crystalized in the following resolution, which was moved by Mr. D. R. Anderson and seconded by Mr. J as. Boxall: “Whereas the prosperity of a IT WAS HELD ON MONDAY NIGHTâ€"THE MAYOR PRESIDED-ELOQUENT AND EARNEST SPEECHESâ€"THE TRACK- MEN WERE UPHELD â€" STRONG RESOLUTIONS--THE SABBATH The old opera house was on) wded to the doors on Monday evening while the lead- ing citizens of this town discussed the trackmen‘s strike and strengthened the hands of the strikers as best they could by resolutions of sx‘mpathy with them in their manly struggle for justice and their rights. The strike has been on for nearly a. month and every day of that time the general public have been more interested in the contest and more sympathetic with the men who are enduring privation for no other object than to get a fair wage for their services. The meeting was a fair guage of the extent of that sympathy and as each speaker uttered vigorous words of commendation and encouragement he was cheered to the echo by the large audience of citizens who sat for hours to listen. THE PEOPLE SYMPATHIZE A ROUSING MASS MEETING IN Messrs. Thomhs Hickson and \Villiam Hickson, Executors of the will of said de- THURSDAY, JUNE 15th. 1899 FAVOR OF THE STRIK m U: R fictn Shbcttismncnts WHAT THE MEMBER FOR NORTH VIC- TORIA SAID ABOUT THE TRACK- MEN'S STRIKE. Since there has been some effort to make capital out of Cal. Hughes’ remarks in the House regarding the strike of the G.T.R. trackmen, we publish his speech as it appears in Hansard. and word for word as uttered by the member forNorth Victoria: I country depends upon the prosperity of all classes of its inhabitants alike producer and consumer. capitalists and laborer, corporate body and individual. And whereas, every man’s prosperity for l the most part depends upon the remunera- tion he receives for his labor being com- ‘menserate with the work he performes, and whereas, we believe that the wages paid by the Grand Trunk Railway Co. to the trackmen is not sufficient to enable them to support themselves and their families, so as to enioy the measure of prosperity which is the bright light of every true Canadian who asks but even- handed justice from those who receive his, labor. And whereas, the fact is knowni that our country is enjoying an increasing; measure of prosperity and that many: men are enjoying increased emoluments for their labor, and that the G.T.R. Co. trackmen should not be made the excep- tion to the increase which has almost become general throughout our Dominion. Therefore this meeting of citizens desires to express its full sympathy with the trackmen of the G.T.R. Co. In their efforts to obtain their demands, which are in the opinion of those here assembled, fair and reasonable, and express the hope that such concessions will be made at once to] them as will be deemed by them satisfac. tory. More especially because the dim- culty has been now of long standing, 1.00 long considering the question of the sec- urity to the traveling public.” I A'resolution was high adopted condem- ing the Sunday traffic than has become so heavy of late. Mr. Ingram. Does the hon. gentleman (Mr. Hughes) object to the way the railway copypaqies amalgamate ? Mr. Sam. Hughes (North Victoria). 1 may state, Mr. Speaker, that coming as I do from a railway town, although 1 have not many railway men in my constituency, my sympathies are large] y with the railway men, in relation to their request for an increase of their wages, and their request to get pay for overtime. I am, in fact, with the men in everything but their action in going on strike. I have always been opposed to strikes of any description, be- cause I feel it is dangerous to the com- munity that a large body of organized workinghen should be ordered to strike, and thus paml ze the business of the coun- try, at the heck and nod of one or two leaders who may or may not be responsible men. I 1 Mr. Huazhes. I have always taken a stand against combines of any description 4 for any illegal object. I believe they are against the interests of the public, and I ; trust I shall not change my views on that matter. Theiailway men in the Commun- ity whence I come will hear me out in the statement that again and again in matters of dispute the men have come. to me and I have acted as an intermediary, and in every single instance the men and the company have been satisfied, and the rights of the men have always been guarded. That has been the case on more than one oceasion. This question of increasing the wages of the Grand Trunk trackmen came before me as far back as February last, when it was suggested to me by certain oliicers of the companyâ€"not the head oili- cers of the company by my meansâ€"but by officers of the company who should have been in a position to understand the mat- ter, that they thought possibly the com- pany would be willing to pay $1.10 a day as the minimum wage. and. to remove cer- tain disabilities in the way of net paving for overtime. I was then led to believe that the head men of the labour ormmiza» Lion would be satisfied with nothing short of the rate paid on the Canadian Pacific lailway, namely, $1.25 per day, and would permit of no settlement on any Other basis. ‘ I will say here that take them all in all. the striking trackmen are as fine a body of men as you can find in any country, but it is unfortunate that they should he led by one or two men who assume to direct their action. What has been the history of strikes? I venture to say that three-fourths of the tramps in Canada and the l'niied States are tramps because they vvere at one time strikers. They lost their positions when they went on strike. others took their places, and although the head centres continue to draw their pay. the unfortu‘ nate men were forced to travel from centre to centre looking for work, until faint and heart-sore, they gene up home and became a burden on the community. It was my privilege to be on the stali‘ ride between Toronto and Hamilton during the Queen‘s birthday week, and I told many of these men whom I met that if they went back to work and asked the leader of the government and the leader of the opposi- tion to mediate a better solution could b5 brought about than could possibly be. ob- tained by their remaining on strike. Armin - I recommend to the heads of the strikers' organization that course. I know, sir, that there are not 5 er cent. of the men who would not rather e at work than on strike, and I know that if the leaders of the organization adopt my suggestion, before three weeks are over the men will be in a better position than they otherwise would be. While the position of some few may be improved by the strike, I any that a large number of these men will never get back to the positions they have recently left if they persist in continuing on strike. I know the feelings of the heads of the company towards the men, and I know they have the greatest sympathy with the men. It has been charged against the company that they do not look after the interests of Canadians, but I could point to several Canadians who have been sent across the line by the company to occupy high positions on the Chicago and Grand Trunk Railway, and I know on the other hand that very few Yankees have been brought in here. Mark you, I have every sympathy with the men, and I have in the past taken occasion to have their pay in- creased, and I shall be glad to do so again, i but I stand here tonight to condemn in l the strongest manner possible anything. that savers of a strike until all other means fail, With all due deference to the leaders of this strike, I do not think they exhausted every other resource, although' of course I may have been misinformed as to that. I again make the su stion that the leaders of this strike shoul order the men back to work, and that they should ask the leader of the government and the leader of the opposition to act as inter- mediaries between the men and the Grand Trunk Railway Company. I! that be done, I venture to saythat a satisfactory settle- ment will be arrived at in very short order.- COL. HUGHES’ SPEECH ON 1 HE ’ STRIKE. The competition for the most opular man on me ground, between -Iessrs. Peter Murtha and Dennis Scully ran very close and was eventually won by the tormer by a. score of 104 votes to 95. This prize carried with it an up-bo-date washlng mgchineifor the wife of lucky Winner. Mr. Fri'nk Curtinvof Obs won the pulper, while David Crowley capbured Ollie scuffier, and Mr. John Mazuu‘e the P 9W- Mr. Robert Perdue and Mr. Dennis Clancy, with their respective families, lined up thereon. Notwithstanding that two members of Mr. Perdue’s family were thrown out because they were now married and had homes of their own, that gentleman won by a score of 13 to 12, much to the regret of Mr. Clancy, who could not find all the members of his household although they were scattered about tile ground somewhere. Rev. Father Bretherton in a neat and appropriate speech presented the gold- headed cane to Mr. Martha, and at the same time announced that he was about to leave them for a time, as he purposed leaving on the first of July for the Old. Country. It isa matter of regret to his parishoners and friends that the reverend father has not for some time been enjoy- ing his former good health.

Father Bretherton’s annual picnic was held in Flynn's grove, Downeyville, on Tuesday last and was in every way a pro- nounced success. Notwithstanding .a goodly representation from Lindsay, Omemee and Ennismore the attendance was somewhat below the standard of former years. Two booths with lively clerks in each dispensed, clear, cold lemon- ade to the thirsty pleasure seekers. A. large platform was erected and despite the warm rays of “ Old Sol” the lads and lassies enjoyed the merry dance to the enlivening strains of the Downeyville orchestra throughout the live-long day. Then the fair ticket sellers, who impor- tuned the spectator to purchase just one throw on this or that article kept the boys dodging. A capital {program} of athletic sports attracted the attention of all and the close finish in several events proved very exciting. 'Irish jigâ€"1, Chas. Meehan; clog, Thcs. Lucas. , ROGERS-ROBINSON.
