ORIGIN OF THE MOVEMENT, . Thoe report of the meoting ab the West Bide Tuarner Hall Bunday afternoon came upon the American portion of tho population of Chicago Jike lightning from . clonr sky. They woro cne tirely unpropared for anythingof thokind. They koow that thero was much destitution, and that many men wore out of work, but thero hnd been nothing to prepare them for this Iarge mosting, sud this domand that the city ehould furnish work to tho unemployed, or tho moans of liv- ing, if it had not the work for them. Yot it appenrs that tho organization of this movoment has been in progress for some time, beginning when tho distress among the laboring olasges begnn, and gaining strength as it increas- od. It has boen confined thus far to those of our population who spesk foreign tongues,— Gormans, Poles, Scandinavians, Bohemiaus, oto,,—and for that reason it has attracted no publio attention. INTEBVIEW WITH MR, KLINCK. In order to ascertsin something concerning the objocts of this movoment, and the manner in which it wae started, s roporter oalled upon Mr, Carl Kilnck, one of tho spoakers at tho moot- ing Sunday, and who is n cutler, employ- od in tho shop of E. Molchior & Co. Mr. Is]inck is also a member of tho Commitico of tho First Section of the Socio-Political Worl- ingmen's Union (Sociollor Polltischer Arhoits- YVorein). y The Reporter—I have called to see if T could find out who got up tho meeting you had Sun- day at Vorwarts Hall. Mr. Klinck—It was called by o joint commit- teo, ropresenting the Socio-Political Union, the Workingmen's Union, the Carpenters’ Union, and soveral othor socioties and unions. The Reporter—What is it thnt is wanted ? THEY WANT WORK. Mr. Klinock—You will find it in our platform. Wo want worlk. ‘Tho Reporter—Not charity ? Mr. Klinck—No; work if there is any; if not, help. TI):n Roporter—What pay do you want ? Mr. Klinck—Enough to live on. The Roporter—TChon you do not insist on full wages? Mr. Klinok—No, but enough for & man to support bimself snd his family. The Reportor—But maouy of those ont of work are mechanice—mon like yourself, who are not fit for more digging—how will thoy be Dolped? Mr. Klinck—They aro ready to dig or do any- thing, 8o thoy can live. I havo met such men who were ready for any work. Tho Roportor—Hoyw many people do you'think thore are unomployed ? Mr. Klinck—Ve have o¥eno|l two offices where tho mien may go aud sign their namos sud thoir liouses, and how largo their families are. We Lave now 6,000, Tho Roportor—That must be about 25,000 per- &ons, Mr. Klinok—Yes, I think, ‘The Raporter—Do your people want anything beside work? B Mr. Klinck—I do not understand. Tlio Roportor—Did you hear thio specch at your meetisig nbout a distribution of surplus wenlth among. tho laboring classes ? Mr, Klinck—I bave nothing to do with that, ‘The Roporter—How strong is your own or- E'amzntlun—thu Bocio-Political Workingmen's nion? Mr, Klinek—Thero aro throe German goctions, ono I'rouch, one Beandinavian, and one Polish. The Roporter—How many members has yours 2 " Mr, Klinok—Ninoty. ‘Fhoe Reporter—Aro they all of one trade,—is it a L'rades Union ? Mr. Klinck—No, they are of nll trades. Plio Roportor—\Whon was it organized ? Mr, Klinck—My section was startod n 1868, ’{‘ll‘u Reportor—ilave you taken any partin olitics ¢ v 3Ir, Klinck—We did in 1808, aud shall next autumn, ‘T'he Roporter—\What do you organizo for ? AMr. Klinck—To help ourselves politically, so- clally, and othorwise—to meet such troubles as this one now. ‘I'he Reportor—1Is it a charitablo association ? Mr, Klinck—We help men who are out of work, if we can. THE_INTERNATIONAL, i The Reportor—Dao you belong to the Interna- onal Mr, Klinck—Not oxnetly, but we have corro. sponded with them with a view to joining . them, ‘I'he Roporter—Who did you write to in Liu- ro‘m 3 Mr. Kilinck—We wrote to New York, to the branch thoro ? The Reporter—And thoy roplied ? Mr, Klinck—Yes ; wo huve Lind roveral lotters. "The Roportor—Yo you havo nothing to do with 1dons for dividing up’ proporty, and 80 on 7 Mr. Klnol—No, we havo nothing to do with fhiat as o body. ‘I'ho Roportor—\Who ia the Tresidont of your setion ?

In responso to questions nsked by a roporter {‘usumln:, Alr, Francis A. Holfmon, Jr., who is residout of tho Workingmen's Aesocintion (Ar- beiter Vorein), and was ono of tho orators at the Sunday meoting, geve bis views, ns follows: Tho persons nt the meoting wanted worl, and wero willing to work. ‘Thoy were willingto work for a subsistonce,—snything that would koop them from starvation. They fully Appreciated tho fact that there had boan s panic, und woro propared to govorn thomselves nocnrfl.in[il’ . They wero willing to worlk at reduced rates, but they wanted work. o was suxprised at the genoral tone of tho audienco, Ho had not zn- ticipated that such o fino class of pooplo would bo in altondance. Thero were those who might bo disposed to go into ex- cesses, but thore was o vory fluo mejority_that would deprecato any extreme monsures, Many of thom could not appreciate our form of Gov- ernmont, Thoy came from paternal countrics, where the Governments could, and did, give money to the peoplo whap they wore in distress. They should get something to do, and thers was no deoying thom that. WHAT HE WANTED, Ho would suggesl that tho city uso all tho money in its posscesion to prosccute public improyements, Ho did mot mean thoy should build the Court-Flouse, but men could bo emplosed on the Lighways, and_in “constructmg sowors. Ho ald mol think tho frost would intorfero vory much with that kind of work. The frost had not struck very deop into the earth, In cold wenther men could worlk bettor on tho highways and In sowors than under the hoat of summer. He did not beliove the City Government should bo an insurance offico, n banking institu- tion, or an_institution to feed peoplo, but the very principlo of self-presorvation should make it give work or money to thoss who wero in need. Under ordinary, ciroumstancos tho char- ituble sociotics woro equal to the emeigoncy, but, under extraordinary oues, it was tho DUTY OF THE GOVERNMENT tocomo o tho rolief of tho people. If not, there would bo famine, disease, and, in conse- quenco, an unfitness for worl when spriug open- ed. Orime would incresse. ‘I'he mun who stole was kept in prison. At least, his lifo was cared for; ho got cnough to eat: If wo took such caro of the criminals, why should wo not takio at lonst as much caro of thoso whoso onl%' crime was want of work and monoy ? Institutions of charity woro_generally purtial, and not evon- banded in the distribution of aid. Then thore wos a kind of - boggary sbout nc- copting rellof from them ‘which was far from pleasant. On _tho other hand, 08 mombers of the body politic the ucedy hsd a right to demaud sesistanco from the Govorn- nient. THEY MUST HAVE WORK. . He was awate that the fluancinl condition of tho city wa auythiug but prosporous. but the nuthoritios could ~ issue soup, snd the patriotism of tho people would indorso their action. It would bo a botter investment to put monoy in public improvements than to bo com- pelled to increnso tho police force, The neces- sitios of tho working clussos demanded prompt nction. Privation existed to s very groat extent, A fow might take advantago of nid from tho city to do nothing, but, a8 & genoral thing, those who could get work would scorn to tuke aid, Porhaps thore was o : SULSTRATUM OF GOMMUNISM at tho bottom of the agitation. ‘I'he people aaw too many mon gotting rich unjustly, which made them distrustful of our inatitutions, Thore Abould be a modification of the latter, 8o as to make thom conform more to Communistic notions. The dangerous olass of tho poople would have no intluence on the groat mass, pro- vided Ahnc\t{icnme in and helped thoso who wore in wunt, 0 did not know exactly tho numbor of persons ont of employment, but the potition to be presented to thoe Mayor contained 6,000 names., ‘I'hoy were not q’alug In a multitudo to intimidate the Coun- cil, but to show _tho actual condition of things. Theso pu(}rle had no papors to make their wante luown. Not s single papor had published an announcoment of the Sunday meoting, o did not kuow that tho papers had beon asked to do 80, Tho papers vended overy little stmnking item about the police-courts, but nothing, was sald abuut the working elasses. That was not right. It anything like n riotous demonstration oceurred at tho Oity Hall, it would not emauato from thoso who attended. tho Twelfth street mooting. Ho hopoed the city would establish lodging- houses for tho homoloss, soup-houses as thoy hiad in Earope for the hungry, and givo olothen to those who noeded themt. Ho would admit there was somo danwr that mon .might be led todepond on tho (lovorument to supply their wants, {uatond of their own exertions, but in the fuaco of necessity, he did not care to discuss theories, When o man was drowning, it was muoh botter to throw him & log of wood then to doliver & dissertation on tho uscfuluess of lifo- proservors. ‘o people wore m DANGER FROM HUNQLR, The oy could not do better than give work to tho unamployad, nnd give women, mfants, the old and inflzm, food aud clotbing, e DURING THE DAY, ANXIETY AT THE OITY NALL.
