Raid on John CI,innmnn from Across the
Water-Jndge Gale Hauled Over the Conis.
A regular semi-monthly meeting OF this organza-
tion was held last evening at Early Closing Hall, 267
Bowery, Mr.. Nelson w. Young in the chair.
Mr.. Alexander Mcdonald, President OF the Miners
Association OF Great Britain was invteo to a seat
by the President who welcomed him in few
appropriate remarks.
Mr.. MCDONALD returned thanks for mis- cordial re-.
cepuon, and said he had been here since the 4th or
September, and had visited great number OF
States and Territories with view Of studying the
social condition OF the workingmen OF the land. He
had been on far as the Pacific slope to.see how
cheap labor worked there. He was satisfied that
cheap labor, wherever found, was the dearest labor.
Cheap labor, either in England or America, was not
calculated to promote the interests OF either coun-
try. He then proceeded to give description OF tho
miserable state OF the cheap labor element on tue
Central Pacific Railroad. He determined TO SEQ

such Us he had never seen IN the greatest suns oil
Europe. They laid on tue floor 10 sleep and were
PACKED together something like sardlnes III

labor element as he saw 1t. He came to
the conclusion that wherever such an element pre-
dominated 1t would lead to the destruction OF the
people both socially, and morally. 1t struck him
that an effort should be made by the worklngmen
OF the United States al once to prevent Importation.
