THE PROPOSED UNION.

At the last session of the Bricklayers'
National Union, a resolution looking to
the amalgamation of the Bricklayers
and Plasterers was adopted. While we
do not believe that either society, is
willing to merge its individuality in that
of the other-or that it is even ad-
viseable that such a step should be
taken-we believe great deal Of good
can be effected by more close and in
innate relationship being effected
between them. There are many in
terests which they possess in common ;
many questions upon which a uniform
understanding should be secured /;
which would work to their mutual
benefit. If a satisfactory arrangement
can be made by which the two or
CARNATIONS may be represented in one
body well and good but admitting
that such scheme is impracticable-
what is to hinder a general yearly con-
ference being held-at which general
principles may be discussed, and a
plan adopted by which harmony Of
action will be secured There can GER
tainly be no valid objection offered to
both organizations meeting in general
convention in the same city and at the
same time, for the discussions of ques-
tons of equal interest to both crafts,
after which the distinctive convention
of both bodies, 50 to speak, may be
held.
1t was hobby of Mr.. VIM. Harding,
late President of the Coachmakers'
International UniOn-to hold all the
labor conventions in one locality at the
same time and for the same bodies,
after the transaction Of all business Of
special importance to their trade, to
unite in a general National Conven-
ton. BY so doing it was claimed, and
with q great deal Of truth-that a two
fold purpose would be effected, viz: a
large saving to the treasures of our
local organizations-and n correct ex-
preston ofthe sentiments of their men,
bers obtained. OF course we simply
throw out the idea for the consideration
of those directly interested. Should it
meet with favor at their hands, details
could easily be arranged.

A Simple Request

1t is certainly very annoying, to re-
ceive day after day complaints abont
the nOn-receipt of the paper, from
parties who have themselves to blame
There are probably 800 labor organi1a-
items to which the ADVOCATE is sent.
Of course we cannot tell when a change
is made in their corresponding secre-
taries, except when informed of the
fact And if those who are always
ready to complain ofits non-receipt will
send the name and address of the nep
secretary, there will be no cause for
grumbling. Papers are always sent to
one address, till we are requested to
change it. Will our labor organiza-
tons remember this fact, and thereby
save, themselves much trouble.
Again. during the past week we have
received $4,000 to advertise unions,
which have sent us neither the names
of their officers nor places of meeting.
Of course we must wait till an inquiry
comes sOhy the card has NOT been insert.

70 he s.;..or 81 che worKIscnAs's ADVOCATE.
The Labor Reform movement Ia be-
coming so universal, that it is beginning
to affect almost any social or political
subject that may be mentioned. 1t is
easier to tell where it is not, than point
out were il IL. Il is now shaking Rus

operation; it underlies the political
movements in France, has forced the
aristocraoy OF England to terms in the
late extension of the suffrage, and in
our own country after reducing State
after State to verbal obedience to its
behests, has planted triumphanty the
eight hour flag over the Capitol at
Washington.
But there are places when the de-
mauds of the worlds toilers are as yet
almost unheard, or, if heard, UNDECIDED.
These are the Churches. There may
be here and there isolated instances of
clergymen expressing from their pul-
pits sympathy with overweight and
nnderpaid sewing-women; probably
some may have declared it to be not
quite right to deform mankind, as hun
dreds of thousands of human beings are
now deformed, by demanding from them
too arduous labor; and there may be
very few who have publicly testified to
the truth of the statements or laws
given in the bible on the questions Of
land, money, and the communism OF
property; for all these subjects are dis
cussed i'm the sacred volume. But as
q body, probably there is not in Chris
tendon, one denomination which has
thought it worth while to give the sub
iect of labor that careful and candid
examination that its Importance de-
mands.
But though it be rejected by Church
ism it largely enters into real Chris
tianity. 1t dates from the first morning
of creation, claiming its divine paternity
from the Great Laborer, who rested on
the seventh day. 1t receives the COM
mendations of almost all the prophets,
and eliminates in glory in the Son Of
the Carpenter. 1t dignifes even the
lower order Of the animal creation, for
we are told by the inspired lawgiver,
Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of
the or that treadeth out the corn" If
the questions affecting laborers are
ignored by interested Churches, it will
not inquire the cause of true Chris
tianity, but it will annnihilste that
which is not Christianity. The doors
against which the anti-slavery reformers
90 long knocked in vain, will be batter
ed into splinters should they not soon
BE- thrown wide open to admit the just
claims Of labor

! No the EDITOR Of the WoRKNeMAH's ADVOCATE.
DEAR SIR: In writing up the efforts
of the working mon Of Cleveland, it j,
with Wow rather to induce others tc
assist in the struggle for labor's rights
than for any praise for what we have
yet we can say we are doing our duty
Sir, the Cleveland labor union sprung
into existence five months ago a few
men met together and talked the m at
ter over they then invited the various
trade unions to send delegates to form
committee, the tradeunions responded,
we got a good working committee, and
invited the president of the National
Labor Reform Union to deliver an ad-
dress. Mr.. r. F. Trevelleck accepted
the invitation, the committee hired hall,
music, and published the meeting over
the city; we had q splendid meeting.
Mr.. o. b. Daily president Of the In
ternational Union Of Mechinists, and
Blacksmiths), was in the chair. Mr..
Trevellick spoke with more than his
usual eloquence; he was listened to
with great attention for over two hours,
and he closed his remarks amid pro-
longed applause. On the conclusion
of the address, a resolution authorizing
the President, o. B. Daily, TO appoint
committee to organize a labor union
under the auspices Of the National
Labor Union, was carried. The com
mittee met, drew up a constitution and
bylaws, elected their officers for six
months, hired room for weekly meet
ings, and from that time the union has
been steadily increasing. They have
taken various steps to increase their
numbers, with partial success. Mr..
Trevellick has again addressed us on
the platform Of the new party. We
appointed a committee to visit the
various trade unions of the city, asking
them to visit our labor union, and unite
with us in our efforts. The committee
met with great success; every union
passed the committee a vote of thanks.
the iron moulders visited us in body;
we were well pleased to see them, our
labors have been also directed in other
directions; we have three standing
committees, one on national affairs,
one on state affairs, and one on city
affairs, whose duty it is to watch the
actions of national, state and city, in all
matters that may affect the working
men. The committee reports weekly.
We have addresses delivered BY mem
bers on the various questions Of the
day, and debates on interesting topics
to us.
We requested our members to con-
gress to use all their influence against
the repeal of the income tax, and short
ly we shall hold a mass-meeting of
men on the land question, of
which l shall inform you.

every carriage is packed, but nobody
seems to care; light hearts, wine and

low that afforded by the lakes Of Zurich

view grows more inviting; to the

seen the Jura Mountains; then the
snow-capped Alpine chain from the
Bernese Overland to Mount Blanc,
standing like hoary sentinels, above

Neueville, the whole of the soil on the
slopes are planted withvines, and the lus-

almost tempt us to tarry. A few miles

TRAVELLING SKETCHES.
HUMBER sIxTnu

The next morning, bright and early,
true to his promise our friend takes es-
pecial pains to call attention to every
point of interest in the neighborhood ;
and as he is conversant with every
nook and corner for miles around, We
enjoy no ordinary treat. Directly
opposite, on the other side of the lake,
are seen the mountains of Savoy, a coun-
try which through the imbecility Of .
licentious ruler, and the low intrigues

part and parcel of the empire Of France.
To every true Italian they are now an
eyesore, as well they may. Next the
locality of Vevay is shown, q town
beautifully situated at the mouth of the
Gorge of the Vevayse. one of the
most charming and popular resorts of
English and American tourists.
The city Nausanne) proper, is beau
fully situated on the northern shore of
the lake of Geneva. It is the capital of
Canton of Vaud, and contains q popu.
lation Of over 10000. Though the
situation is charming, the city itself is
very uninviting, many of the streets
being narrow, irregular, and badly
paved. Among the prominent objects

toned its cathedral, founded about the
year 1000, and consecrated in 1875 by
Pope Gregory, x, a very massive
structure, and considered the finest
church in Switzerland, and also the
blind asylum, founded by Mr.. Hald-
man, a wealthy and talented English.
man. Two miles from the city is the
cemetery Of Pierre de Plain, which con-
tains the remains of the celebrated ira
gedian John Kemble.
On our stroll to the upper portion Of
the CITY, we meet number Of troops
riAemen, who, having performed the
military duty to which every citizen Of
Switzerlend is subject, are on their way
to their respective homes. Before
leaving Lausanne, we may mention the
somewhat remarkable fact, that in the
lower portion of the city Italian GUS
toms and manners prevail. and in the
upper portion those of the French.
We have now reached the length of
our tether, and having succeeding in
making arrangements whereby we are
enabled to forego our contemplated
Elber6eld trip, once more turn our
face homesoards. Bidding good bye to
our friend, formerly a resident of
Illinois, from whom we have experien-
ed kindness which we can never for
get, which we fear we shall never
be able to repay, and which we take
this means of publicly acknowledging, !
at $50 we find ourselves at the railway |
station booked for Basic, by way of
Neuchatel and Bienne. The FIRST sta
ton of any consequence to which our
