THt LABOR MEETING.

AT THE OFEKA HOUSK WAS LARGELY AXIKNOED.

Speeches bj Pon. K. A. Ulai'lt alici D. A, Hay es, Vice-Prets-cleut of tlie Glass Bottle Viewers Association.

The labor meetiDg at tbe opera house ruesduy night was largely atteuded, the hall lien lu 1 of union rueti aud those vvLo sympathize with them.

That the organization of labor made it ctabie, without it they would not be respect :d, couia not com mavd good v. !ig s, and would ha\eto work for any wages offered to them, that their children would be forced to leave -chool and work for their living. Ttiat tl ey would be reduced to extreme poverty. That overwork aud insufficient food wa the cause of so much druukenuess in the large cities aud inanulacturing towns. He denounced Holweg aud btreeter for bringing scab workia}.

Whekeas, The citizens of Greenfield hy a voluntary contribution of a large um of money, freely doi.ated to Holveg & Reese, made it possible for them 0 locate their bottle works at this city H,ud placed them under obligations to repect the wishes of the people of Greenfield in all matters connected with the unniug of this factory, which may injuriously ef the welfare of the city. And,

Whekeas, Messrs. Holweg & Reese, by Hccepting and retaining the contributions of the citizens of Greenfield, impliedly promised and agreed to so conduct and operate the Bottle Works as to contribute to the prosperity of our city, and to 1 he benefit of our citizens. And,

WnEKEAS, The experience of the past has demonstrated that the employment of ncompetect workingmen at starvation vages in any business is inimical to prosperity, and detrimental to the best inter-

Hts of the community in which they are employed. And, Whereas, The history of all labor troubles likewise show that strikes, lockouts and other labor disturbances result in the congregation and concentration at the scene of trouble, of scabs, bums, offscouringings and disreputable and undesirable persons. And,

Whereas, Messrs. Holweg & Reese by 'heir action in leasing this bottle works to H. W. Streeter, to be operated as a •ion-union factory, have disregarded the expressed wishes of the people of Green-

violated the implied terms of their conract with them. And, .. Whereas, H. W. Streeter, by his action in attempting to operate a non-union factory by men employed at unremmnera

the competent workinsftoen, whose services he has secured by false pretenses, and false promises, and, by his endeavors to supply their places, has attracted to our city hordes of tramps, bums, paupers and incompetent pr?teuders. whose presence is a menace to the peace Hiid good order of our city, and who threaten to become a burden to our citizens. Therefore, be ir.

Tt,a' t'tev 0'ipiir iepo'i the wishes ef the citizens and not run a lot of sc ibs aud bums to Greeufleid to be a burden to the city. Th-.t the city would be benefitted by well paid labor but damaged by cheap labor, aud that he could not understand why Streeter couli want to live in a community aud carry on a busi ness dL-liktd by every man, woman aud child in the community. He ailvistd the striking men not to return to work for Half wages, but also to be moderate and law abiding in their dealiugs with the non union men aud doing 60 they would hold the respect and secue tue aid of the citizens of Greenfield in their difficulty with the magemeut of'he glass facory. He then introduced D. A. Hayes, Vice-President of the Bottle Blowers Association, who addressed the meeting on the labor question. He said there whs somethi in the labor question besides the price paid for the lab r. That the sirike here was not the question of a few dollars and cents to the union, but a question of princ'ple. That if the conditions were allowed fco exist and grow, they would eventually drag down hundreds of men who now receive good wages to the same low level. That a 'trades' union was a combination of working men with the purpose to surround themselves with the social and benedcial conditions to be gained from well paid labor and to keep from sinking to the low condition of the laborers in the European countries, •md a man who would bring «uch conditi®n8or lower the wag=s for the American working man should be treated as an enemy to the welfare of the country or as a man who would bring a contagious disease into a community. Both Mr. Black and Mr. Hayes were generously and liberally applauded. After Mr. Hayes' speech the following resolutions were read and adopted:

Resolved, by the citizens of Greenfield in mass e'iug assembled, that we depioie the action of Mr. Holweg in disregarding the xpressed wishes of onr tins on the subj ct of lea^iug his bottle plnuD, to be used as a non-union factory that we denounce ili- petfi'iy mauifesttd by him breaking his inulied coutrwct wall our cit z-i,s, wbos-. money located his factory at our city that we denounce

MET AN OBSTACLE.

Cuban Insurgents Will Get a Set-Back.

NOT ALL OF THEIR "THINKING.

The President and His Cabinet Are Opposed to the Present Recognition of the Belligerency of tlie Cuban Insurgents and to Any Declaration Concerning

Their Independence. Washington, March 4.—The presi* dent and his cabinet are undoubtedly strongly opposed to the present recognition of the belligerency of the Cuban insurgents and to any declaration concerning tlieir independence as embodied in recent congressional resolutions. The following is not an official statement, but it is known from careful inquiry that it represents tlie administration's view of the matter.

While the president and the members of the cabinet personally feel the sympathy common to all Americans witli those Cubans who are contending for self-government, thoy feel that in their oiiicial action they should not depart from the well-settled principles which were followed by I urn it presidents aud secretaries of state during prior insurrections iu Cuba.

These were clearly set forth by General Grant in his message of 1S75 in which he dealt with the question of the recognition of Cuban independence and also with that 01 tue recognition of belligerency. .both independence and belligerency are facts and their recognition by other powers, as the term implies is merely lormal acknowieugmeut of a state of things which rightly or -wrongly has come about.

When a people, united under some known and deiined form of government winch administers its functions by the usual methods, come to occupy and control a known territory over which it is competent to administer justice, and within which it afford protection to citizens and strangbrs, a new state exists. Refusal of recognition would not change tlie fact any more than premature "recognition" could create it. The former would be merely a slight to the new government, just as the latter is merely an affront to the old one. The question necessarily is always what government is actually in control of the country.

Recognition of belligerency depends upon the same facts and is only a modilied form of recognizing independence, though the latter implies more perfect accomplishment. Tlie difference between mere insurrection and war, though in both armed bodies are in conflict, is that in the former only one sovereign power is engaged, whilo in the latter there must necessarily be two. If an armed conflict be carried on by "a substantial political organization, real, palpable and manifest to the world, having the forms aud capable of the ordinary functions of government to its own people and to other states," having a "local habitation" where it may be dealt with by other nations, then there is a war, and refusal to recognize belligerency would be wilful.

In the absence of these features there is nothing "to take the contest out of the categoiy of a mere rebellious insurrection, of occasional skirmishes, and place it on the terrible footing of war."

The pretense of recognizing what does not exist "is always and justly regarded as an unfriendly act aud a gratuitous demonstration of moral support to the rebellion."

It is understood that, judged by these tests, the administration does not think the present state of affairs in Cuba justifies any change in the attitude of the government. Its function is to act aud not to express feeling. The only actiou now proper is to continue to hold responsible injuries to American citizens, the only government which so far as appears, maintains authority iu Cuba, until some other government succeeds, at least temporary, in supplanting it."

FLOODS IN NEW ENGLAND.

Great Damage Done, but So Far No Loss of Life Is Reported. Rutland, Vt., March 4.—In southern

Vermont snow to the depth of eight inches has fallen. Owing to the sudden change in temperature the water in the Otter creek valley has fallen two feet, much to the relief of persons living in the low lands. The greatest loss to property by flood on the Central Vermont and Boddingtou aud Rutland railroads w7here several bad washouts are reported. Railroad ti*affic in this section continues to be greatly delayed.

Mills Will Close Down.

Manchester, N. H., March 4.—It is officially announced today that the mills of the Amoskeag corporation will all be closed down for two months, except the Jefferson mill, which will only be stopped for oue month. The damage done by the floods makes this cessation of operations necessary. Upwards of 10,000 operatives are affected.

Worst of the Flood Passed.

Portsmouth, N. H., March 4.—The worst of the flood seems to have passed in this section, but there is no change in the railroad tie-up. The northern division of the Boston and Maine is completely blocked with at least four bridges wrecked along the line. Freight traffic is at a standstill in all directions.

Connecticut River Overflowed. Hartford, March 4.—The Connecti

cut river today is higher than it has been since 1862, and the water is now 26 feet 3 inches above low water mark.

POLEWARDS IN A BALLOON.

The Northerners Asked to Please Not Shoot at Andree. San Francisco. March 4.—Henry

Lund, consul of Norway and Sweden, has received an official communication from the Swedish minister at Washington' calling his attention to the fact that Professor Andree will start in his balloon in July next to attempt to reach the north pole.

The purpose of the communication was to ask the good offices of Consul Lund in spreading the news northward so as to apprise the natives to be not only on the lookout for the expedition, but should the descent be made among them to treat the voyagers kindlj and render them what aid they can.
