ČASOPIS ZA SLOVENSKO KRAJEVNO ZGODOVINO KRONIKA

Na zborovanju so se odločili — po iniciativi
ljubljanskega župana Ivana Hribarja, da osnu-
jejo poseben makedonski odbor z nalogo, da
zbira pomoč za Makedonce in popularizira ma-
kedonsko osvobodilno gibanje med slovenskim
ljudstvom.

Ta odbor se je sestal 4. decembra 1903. Za
predsednika je bil izbran Vaso Petričič, za pod-
predsednika Polakova in dr. Tavčarjeva, za taj-
nika dr. Vladimir Ravnihar, a za njegovega na-
mestnika Terezina dr. Jenkova, za blagajnika
Alojzij Stare, za njegovega namestnika Ladislav
Pečanka. Člani odljora so bili še: Berta dr. Tril-
lerjeva, Ivan Hribar, dr. Andrej Karlin, dr. Aloj-
zij Konalj, dr. Valentin Krisper, Fran Povše in
Ivan Rozman. Odbor se je s proglasom obrnil
na slovenski narod, v katerem je apeliral za
zbiranje pomoči v korist makedonskih beguncev.
Odbor se je obrnil tudi na vlado za odobritev
svojega dela.^

Solidarnost Siovencev z borbo makedonskega,
ljudstva in zbiranje materialne pomoči v nje-
govo korist pa nista bila v skladu z interesi
avstrijskega dvora, ki je na razne načine skušal
onemogočiti to humano dejanje slovenske jav-
nosti in ljudstva.

V začetku je vlada prepovedala predavanja o
makedonskem osvobodilnem gibanju. Tako je
5. decembra 1903 prepovedala predavanje novi-
narja P. Orlovca o položaju v Makedoniji.^

Prepoved predavanja O' položaju v Makedoniji
je zelo revoltirala slovenski narod.

Slovenski poslanci v kranjskem deželnem
zboru so vložili interpelacijo proti prepovedi
predavanja in poudarjali veliko zanimanje ljud-
stva za predavanja in ogorčenje zaradi prepo-
vedi. Interpelanti so vprašali: Ali je prepoved
izdana v dogovoru z ministrstvom? Ali more
minister opravičiti to prepoved? Ali bo tudi v
bodoče deželna vlada prepovedala predavanja
in zborovanja?'

Omenjeni P. Orlovec je 8. decembra 1903 pre-
daval v dvorani »Narodnega doma« v Trstu o
položaju v Makedoniji. Predavanje je imelo
namen popularizirati makedonsko narodnoosvo-
bodilno borbo in zbirati prispevke za makedon-
ske begunce. Na samem predavanju je bilo
zbranih 210 kron.^ Tudi časopisi so odprli rub-
riko »Za makedonske begunce«, »Za malsedonske
žrtve turške krvoločnosti«. Od 25. novembra 1903
do 21. februarja 1904 je bilo zbranih 1065 kron
in 92 krajcarjev.

Prispevke za makedonske begunce so zbirali
na razne načine. Pri otvoritvi knjižnice v Gorici
so v Savinjski dolini zbirali pomoč tudi za
Makedonce. V Postojni je bil v začetku leta 1904
prirejen koncert v korist Makedoncev. 30. janu-
arja sta priredila pevsko društvo »Lipa« in tam-
buraški orkester »Triglav« koncert v Ljubljani
v .korist beguncev iz Makedonije. Dobiček kon-
certa je znašal 84 kron ter je bil predan make-
donskemu odboru v Ljubljani.*

SL 2. Makedonski delavci pri gradnji železnice Celovec-Trst

Makedonski odbor v Ljubljani je večkrat urgi-
ral pri vladi, da odobri njegovo delovanje. Toda
deželna vlada je odgovarjala, da ni pristojna
za to. Vlada je vztrajala na tem, da gre v tem
primeru za akcijo v korist tujega naroda in da
se je treba obrniti na ministrstvo za notranje
zadeve na Dunaju. Odbor je trikrat telegrafično
prosil ministrstvo, da odobri njegovo delovanje.
Kooec januarja 1904 je odbor dobil odgovor, v
katerem je ministrstvo stavljalo stroge pogoje.
1. Nabiranje je dovoljeno le osebam, ki jih de-
želna vlada imenuje od predloženih, 2. Nabiranje
je prepovedano v cerkvah, šolah, uradih in pri
oblastvih, 3. Občinski uradi ne smejo zbirati.
4. Nabrane zneske je izročiti deželni vladi v
Ljubljani, ki jih odda »c. in kr. poslaništvu v
Carigradu, ki bode po svojem civilnem agentu
in njegovih organih oziroma po krajevnih od-
borih skrbelo' za primerno razdelitev podpor«.
Odbor je nato odgovoril, da ... »se razdruži, ker
so stavljeni pogoji, zlasti točka 4, ki nam ne
daje garancije, da pride nabrani denar v prave
roke — nesprejemljivi«.'

Zaradi prepovedi so prispevke pošiljali pO'
privatnih osebah. Največ jih je bilo poslanih po
posredovanju dr. Jenkove, ki jih je pošiljala Vla-
dimiru Kanazirevu. Ta se v svojem pismu za-
hvaljuje za poslanih 320 kron, ki jih je razdelil
med najbolj revne v Makedoniji.

Dopisovanje med Makedoncem Kanazirevom
in dr. Jenkovo je bilo vedno pogostejše. Kana-
zirev je v svojih pismih plastično opisoval po-
ložaj v Makedoniji in stalno prosil pomoči za
makedonske begunce. Dr. Jenkova je njegova
pisma objavljala v dnevnem časopisju z name-
nom, da bi slovensko ljudstvo čim bolje spo-
znalo položaj makedonskega prebivalstva in mu
tem bolj pomagalo v njegovi bedi.

III.

Zanimanje za Makedonijo sO' pri Slovencih ;
vzbudili tudi makedonski begunci, ki so zaradi i
težkih ekonomskih in političnih pogojev v svoji I
domovini bili prisiljeni iskati delo in pomoč
tudi v Sloveniji v letih 1903—1906. V slovenskem ;
dnevnem tisku pogosto naletimo na poročila in t
sočutne članke v njihovo korist. Makedoinski be- j
gunci ali delavci, kot jih imenujejo v tisku, so j
največ delali pri gradnji ždleznic, in to na Hru-1
šici, v Biohinjski Beli, Bohinjski Bistrici in na I
Jesenicah, pri gradnji karavanškega in bohinj- j
skega predora. I

KRONIKA ČASOPIS ZA SLOVENSKO KRAJEVNO ZGODOVINO

Vsi ti delavci so imeli za sabo dolgo in težko
življenjsko i>ot. Težki ekonomski pogojii v do-
movini 9o vplivali tudi na njihovo delovno sjjo-
sobnost. Kasneje pa je na njihovo zdravstveno
stanje vplival tudi prehod iz zmernega makedon-
skega v ostro slovensko alpsko podnebje. Nji-
hovi organizmi niso bili tako odporni, zaradi
česar so cesto zboleli in bili zato odpuščeni z
dela."

Konec 1903. leta se je položaj makedonskih
beguncev resno poslabšal. Od do tedaj redkih
primerov so bila takrat ugotovljena resna obo-
lenja od tifusa, trahoma in posebno od črnih
koz. Epidemija se je počasii širila in zajela vsa
gradbišča, na katerih so delali makedonski be-
gunci. Tam so podvzeli zaščitne mere proti na-
daljnjemu širjenju črnih koz. Vsi makedonski
delavci so bili cepljeni in morali so se podvreči
strogemu karantenskemu režimu. Za epidemijo
se je zainteresiral tudi visoki zdravstveni svet
na Dunaju, ki je na seji 23. januarja 1904 sklenil
postaviti dva zdravnika kot zdravstvena inšpek-
torja; ta dva sta imela nalogo skrbeti za zdrav-
stveno stanje delavcev.*'

Širjenje epidemije med makedonskimi delavci
je služilo kapitalističnim upravam gradbišč (ki
so bile po večinii nemške), da so jih odpuščale
z dela ali pa da so tistim, ki so ostali, zmanj-
šale plače.

Spomladi leta 1905 opazimo novo značilno
razmerje do makedonskih delavcev. Makedonski
delavci, ki so prišli na gradbišča bohinjske že-
leznice, so bili prisiljeni vrniti se domov, ker
niso dohili zaposlitve. »Čeprav so ti ljudje —
piše člankar — bolj zdravi in sposobni kot leni
Italijani, ki jih tukaj sumljivo protežirajo. Naši
bratje iz slovanskega juga morajo z žalostnim
obrazom gledati, kako jih mečejo z dela ...«

Medtem ko so bila prej lahka obolenja glavni
vzrok za odpuste z dela, se sedaj poudarja poli-
tični moment. Kapitalističnim upravam gradbišč
ni šlo v račun, da bi zaposlovale slovanske de-
lavce. Ta odnos do makedonskih delavcev je
bil del asimilatorske politike nemškega in itali-
janskega imperializma do Slovanov.

Težki delovni pogoji, predvsem pa zgoraj ome-
njeni vzroki so prisilili makedonske begunce-
delavce že konec 1903 in v začetku 1906, da
zapuste Slovenijo.

Kljub ekonomskemu in političnemu jarmu, ki
ga je Slovenccjm nalagal avstrijskli vladajoči
razred, je slovenski narod našel možnosti, da
pokaže svojo solidarnost z borbo makedonskega
naroda za nacionalno osvoboditev, da mu spo-
roči svoje tople simpatije in da mu pomore v
težkem položaju.

Makedonski begunci so bili v Sloveniji pri-
srčno sprejeti. Neštevilni so primeri pomoči
makedonskim beguncem, ko so bili le-ti v naj-
težjem položaju. V Sloveniji so napravili s svo-
jim vedenjem močan vtis. O tem nam govore
dnevni tisk in preživeli sodobniki, ki izražajo
do njili tople simpatije.

V času, ko sta slovenski in makedonski narod
bila še podjarmljena in nezedinjena, so že bili
momenti, ki so jih združevali; o tem nam dovolj
zgovorno pričajo ti-le prispevki k odmevu ma-
kedonske Ilindenske vstaje na Slovenskem.

In the beginning, the government banned the lectures on
Macedonian liberation movement. Thus, the
5th December 1903 banned the new lecture-
official veterinarian P. Orlovca on the situation in Macedonia. ^

Prohibition lecture on 'the situation in Macedonia

Slovenian MPs in the regional provincial
Assembly submitted the interpellation against ban

tion of lectures and outrage at the prohibited-
studies. Interpelanti was asked: Does the prohibition

case for action in favor of a foreign nation, and
you should call the Department of the Interior

status also influenced the transition from moderate Macedonian
ment in sharp Slovenian alpine climate. Their-

At the end of the 1903rd in the situation of the Macedonian
refugees seriously deteriorated. Since then, the rare
cases were then identified serious morbidity-

In the spring of 1905 we see a new characteristic

SOFIA, Sept. 1. The government has
imposed a personal or land tax on the
entire population of the empire over the

I haven't spent too much time trying to figure out what this source really is. All I know is that it is from 1920, and Volume 4 of a Scrapbook. In it, it lists Macedonia as a separate country, even though we know Macedonia was not independent during WW1.

"He is a Harvard, 1914, man and in December of that year he entered war service in the Ambulance Corps, with which he was in Macedonia, Serbia, and Greece."
