Prosperity boosters clash with unemployed at Merchants’ Association
A sweltering meeting at the Merchants’ Association Building opened by Controller Metz faced protests from the unemployed and anarchist figures led by Alexander Berkman. The Prosperity league, backed by Commercial Travellers, advocated boosting industry while opponents urged broader labor relief and critique of financial systems. Speakers including Henry Clews and C. W. Rice argued for honest dealing and lawful action to restore confidence, with plans for aid to workers and calls to reform banking and rail regulation.
