Il was supposed that this law repealed the
conspiracy laws Of that State, and made il
lawful lcr workingmen to form unions for
tber benefit and protection but il seems
that i really amounts 70 nothing, because,
IN the face o. e the three miners referred to
last week, were convicted and imprisoned
and there is no appeal. The lawyer con.
suited says it does not reach The point
desired-that the only remedy is TO have
the above act so amended as that an appeal
can be taken, and the case or cases, with all
the evidence, can be carried up to the Su-
preme Cour.
Whatever legislation is necessary to the
full and complete protection Of the working
men of Pennsylvania must be had next win
