Reuet lniaeut its the llreat-WVin ntea Homame. was announced this week that a meeting of laboring men would be at the opera house on Thursday ag. but it was not expected by many there would be such a general gath . There were hundreds in thelbuild the wage-earners occupying seats in parquette and dress circle. which filled, and the other parts of the ing were also occupied by citizens the city. atte stage were the delegates frlm Great Falls Trades and Labor t'oun ontle twenty-five in number, with dent L.

E. iEYvN n AAaoN .1 nte Cuumaittee of T1'ules autn Ijauler l ,-:. of (treat Falls, Monit. Adopted Oct. 27. INS. During the reading Mr. .lamns w"s frequently initerruptedi by apgslaui. When he htad tiunisd a mnotion tor thei adoption was made and seconded and President Harmon asked those in favor )t the motion to rise to their feet. The response was unanimous and they were adopted atnid applause. Th. president then introduced Mr. P. [) Joslyn. president of the (reat halls Carpenter's Union. who said though un expectedly called upon for an address he wanted to endorse the resolutions by Wsying he warn heartily in favor of (treatt pal1for thns capital. 't'his city tis the home of unlotism and ulonisonl is the reSult if organiastlso. It was to matter of much pride that the business men of Great Falls were in hearty accord with the laboring men. Two years ago there were no local unions in this city. The carpenters or ganized with twelve charter members. In this organization they had the hearty co-operation of the citizens of the city, and the last quarterly report showed there were 174 members of their union in good standing. In addition to the Carpenters' union Great Falls has today the following labor organizations: Stotc. masone union, A. F.of L. No. ri2o. I.uild ers' L. I. P. No. '! Plasterers National union No. 110, Lathers' union, Brother. hoo:i of Decorator. and Painters, Stoice cutters' union, Bricklayers' union, Clerks' Protective association, Cigarmakers' union, Tallors'union and theTypograph ical union. All the labor of Great Falls, skilled and unskilled, is organized, and there is not a nonunion man at work in the city today. This, Mr. Joslyn said, was a good thing to tell the workingmen of Montana. Two years ago a business man had said that a $1 rate to carpen ters would kill Great Falls that eastern capitalists' would not invest their money in a place where such a rate of wages obtained. That same man was to day one of the best friends organized labor had. lie had seen the falsity of his prophecy in the great business blocks and palatial homes which today orna mnent this city aid are a triumph of the work of organized laboring men. high wages paid to laboring men are beneticial to a city. The workingmnn is e-cbled to build a liotie of his own and to live in comfort and plenty. The city of (great Palls mict continue to prosper. it is a city where labor acid capital are in hearty accord. The business man and the wage earner co-operate to work for their mutual interests, and tihe result is a city where peace acill plenty reign. It is to a place of this kind the working ien of the state should turn to select a site for the seat of government of Montana. I). W. Beecher was next introducecl lv the president. Mr. Heecher is still quite lame and weak from the injuries he re ceived, but he laid aside his crutch and, aided by a cane, walked to the front of the stage and said he weas there is the representative of the laborers of Great Falls. Ile was proud to stand there and represent laborers who were several de grees higher and who walk in a ichiher plane of morality than the Chinese. lie was ic hearty accord with the resolu tions read, and said they should he sent to every workingiian in Montana and re ceive his careful consideration. Therei are, he said, various reasons why- ircut falls should be selected as the most suitable place for the capital of the state. Primarily the workingmen had declared in favor of a city not cursed by the Chinese. (ireat Falls presentec her claim. It was the desire of the wage earner that the lace makers of the state should assemble in a city free frcu the vice, the ciegredaticn and the awful consequences consequent upcni ('hinese settlements. No other pilace in the state can set forth as just a claim for the capital as tle city of c-:ret Falls. It. cwas to the interest of c-cry workiigccan to cast ciis vote for tiis city. Icc doing this lie would be carrying out the principles enjoined upon Ir:i tiy the organization to which he ice iigcc'. Mr. Ilkecicer said he would like to speak at leI~gth, but wics prevented doing tin iy the weakness resclticig frcm his injury. blt he would -iccply say in conclusion that tie wcas hopef ul the re suiit oc the meetinc c n-ih t li c u-ci kicoi to every wcrkiniinccc sil that at their iands he cidii cin ear the lI-, ,silt. .1r. T. \V. Brosnan was the nevxt speaker. il said the action of the workingitun in the adoption of the reso lutions was not that of hatred to any nation. It was to counteract the degre (tation brought about by Chinese in the I cutting down of wages. As a case in point he cited the fact that in California in 1470 the Chinese comunienced to pay ttention to the manufacture of ladies' shoes. At that time workmen were paid ;18 per dozen for a department in that trade. In 1872 the price fell to el-': in l-S to ell: in 1s71 to Kl10; in 1$75 to a^ : in 1eto to 07; tblay it is Wi. In 1471i tailors received !:e per week in less than Live years the wages fell to et1t. and the tendnecy is still downward. In 172, senipstresses ionld make from t1 to 'SO a week. To. lay the entire trade of underwearis ab wtlutely under the control of t hinese and women have been forced out of that tree tie of inployment. The moral ef fect of a Chinese' settlement in a coin tiunity is known to all. The Cetna town of a ity is simply ait iterialized hell. 1ilr. livrunat said he was not a repre sentative of any particular branch of or ganized labor. but that he was in hearty sympathy with every tenovernit looking to the bettering of the condition of the t laboring man. The Chinese luestion is the most important one which confronts the workinunian today. The wori:ing menr should be made acquainted with the situation in this city in relation to the Chinese, and the object of this meet ing was to let them know it in an official manner. lie believed that when the wage earners of the state were made acquainted with the condition of affairs here they would give this city their uantimous support. lie had heard it stated that a vote for 1:-eat Falls in the capital contest was a vote thrown away. This was untrue. .1 vote for principle is not a vote thrown away. and a vote for Great Falls is a vote for a principle. lie had been a member of national K. of L. oonventions. and to them came the prayers of the people of the l'acitic coast asking for relief froi the pj'stilenceof the presenceof Chinese. plis:'r W'orkiian liowderly had his at tention directed to the seriousnessof the titutoutn and lie said: *'T1he1 itent of the west must not be al twet ti tight the battle single handed toft alone. The evil they cotiiiilain iof is no lnger contined to one si.ctiin of this riintry. It is spreading and its evil in luintt'" are being felt in all our indus taial cent.'rs. and if a desire to assist our It 'thre'n in a righteous cailse is not suf tic:it to auinate us and stir us to act tion, then self-interest will sisiii prompt us ti b-stir ourselves. 1 ih order tust its a itit in this matter.'

Te wrkinmen will not be alone in the contest they wage against the Chi nese, but will receive the united support of the business men. But It was time for the workingmen to act. Even now the business men of Butte, where the Chinese have a strong hold, are greatly alarmed at a threatened invasion, and have appealed to the laboring men for support. as is witnessed by the follow ing circular: WILL YOU HEIlLP US. * Mratiu.snr, .,un Crii-n:ir. l)o you know that the CIIINESE SIX COMPANIES of San Francisco intend starting a large General Merchandize Store in our midst?

Broanan said he was vere glad that ohlicial action had been taken here and that he was tirmily con vinced that when the workingmen of Butte, Anaconda. Granite and Helena were acquainted with the situation in Great Falls they would rally to the sup port of their brethren here. This is die tun'tly a workingman'a town and skilled and unskilled lauor is as well paid here as in any city in Montana or in the United States. Chinamen were excluded from the town when it was first settled, and will le forever barred. lie hoped the resolutions adopted would lie placed in the hands of every workingman in the state. and when this is done Ureat Falls will receive their cordial and united sup port. The meeting t(ien adjourned with three rousing cheers and a tiger for Greut -alls for the capital. (ONSTITUTIONAL .t. M I: II t11 s:\ I'. What Iti l and lant It Ii 3. 1.1 1otl.tA S i'e.

Wlaat at WVel-Kinoiin Nelwapailwr Man 111 offi ut i Series, iif Lettei: Which Will Ili- Pi~ishu~eul ina tI..eni An Initeres'thing ('immaaaunicattion~ A.linut tihe Ciy ands li the Cntry Tiib In the Minneapolis Journal of a late date the following appeared from the pen of Mr. James A. MacKnight, who has arranged to furnish prominent east ern publications with letters descriptive of Montana and her matchless resources. Mr. MacKnight is thoroughly conversant with the various industries of the state. Mining. now recognized as the most im portant of these, will formi the subject of several letters, and to this task the writer brings the invaluable knowledge acquired by residence in the stale and personal inspection of the ditferent min eral producing sections while engaged in the preparation of an exhaustive work entitled "The Mlines of Montana," which he prepared for the National Mining congress in session at Helena last sum imer. Every industry in the state will be given deserved mention. The follow ing letter relative to (treat Falls will prove of especial intere-t to readers here: Julian IRalph is writing a series of ar ticles in Hlarper s Magazine which have been most gratifying to the people of the entire west, including those of Montana, about whom Mr. Italph has had many pleasant things to say, calling this state -Montana the (;ulden." His accurate i descriptions have enabled his readers to forii some pretty correct ideas about this wonderful country, its resources and its possibilities, but in the nature of the case it was not possible for Mr. Ralph to give much attention to details. That the readers of the Journal iay judge for themselves as to what kind of a country Montana is, I will take for the subject of this letter the city of (treat Falls. which sprang up at the junction of the Sun river with the Missouri river seven or right years ago. The city is on tiii line cf the treat Northern railroad. and is also tic tirllinut lef the l (treat halls . Alberta railroaci. a iarrocw gauge running to the Lcthbridae coal tieldi in Canaea.

Frioc there circumistances it will lie seen that the city is already a I center of considerable activity. It has a I population by actual count of 10,1 ii., acii is substantially built with elegant and expensive iusiness blocks. and private residences. and all the adjuncts of cccc ern civilization.

Thousands of tine farina. now wild land. can he had for the taking, and it is really on agricultural develop nient that the future importance and prosperity of the state must rest. lly this it is not intended to deprecate the mining industry, but it is a well known fact to those who are informed on the subject that every dollar of gold or sil ver taken from the ground costs from 84 to ji5. This calculation does not refer to a paying mine, which Is taking out $100, 1x00 ounces of silver at a cost of SiA),O(O. It refers to the mining industry as a whole. The time and labor and money spent for prospecting, in exploring and developing prospects which turn out to be useless, and the machinery that is purchased for the working of the mines which are exhausted before they reach a paying basis. (treat Falls, being situat ed in one of the richest agricultural re gions of the west, a country of boundless possibilities, will never be entirely de pendent upon the ups and downs of mines, and its growth will therefore be entirely independent of the rise or fall of the metals. As a smelting and man ufacturing center it will receive all the bemelits when the mining industry is prosperous without feeling to any mark ed extent the embarrassments of a min ing town when Haning is depressed. Being surrounded as it is by many rich districts that are open to settlement. the town presents extraordinary advantages to settlers. investors. -upitaliats and bus iness mien. It is pretenmiiently an American town being cum posed largely of New England men of education and retinement who are determined to make it a credit to themselves and their posterity. Men and families who conteinpltte settling in the west will look far before finding such opportunities as are tire sente-n is this region The clnnate is one of the finest in the world, the win ters being generallv short and not severe. and the summers presenting every charm of the temperate zone without the drawback of excessive and swelter ing heat. New comers with a little c-p ital who know how to invest it wisely are soon able to place themselves in positions of independence. because every pro lust of the furir and garden has a ready sale at good triers, and the value of property in tlir towns and country increase rapidly with inmprove nemnt, and on account of the surround ing development. The land is extremely nroduetive, growing the cereals and rout veaetabies in tit' greatest perfection. and in iuan titi-s which often seem ni iaust fabulous.
