LABOR ITEMS.

PRESIDENT TREvELL1cK Intends Wis
iting California in the month of Nav, a
the request of several members of the
National Labor Union, who believe thai
bis presence would prove Of incalculablt
benefit to the cause.
A LABOR UNION has recently been
organized at New Albany, Ind, cor
respondent writes with encouraging
prospects.
The cigar makers Of Syracuse are on
a strike.
TIE machinists and blacksmiths Of
Columbus, Ohio, are about organizing
a trades union. 1t is badly needed.
We are pleased to learn that the
Coopers' International Union il pro

A FEW marplots have recently en-
deayored to break up the Clinton, Iowa

There have been instances, however
where the welfare of the organization
has required a temporary departure
from it's established line of policy, but
In national contest, where the entire
country becomes the arena, and labor
vs7 capital, the stske-hesitsncy is com
promise, and compromise treason and
betrayal. To shut our eyes to these
istts is the blindest infatuation. To
listen to or adopt barter and sale policy
isEtO set back the labor movement 50
Years, and re-enact the played out farces
o. the past. Meme, meme, teckei, up
hsrsen thou are weighed in the bal
asces and found wanting-ls the index
which stamps too plainly the class leg
i4lation of the past to doubt its charac-
ttr. or warrant a renewal lease for the
future.
In short. friends one and sll-the
&hole question lies in nutshell and
appeals directly to your manhood and
common sense. It requires no process
er chain Of reasoning to arrive at de-
tision. Have you any faith in the
promises Of either the ems" or "outs, -
% remove the incubus which is saddled
&n the shoulders Of labor? Do you
fhink the hOrdes Of public plunderers
and drones who enrich themselves at
your expense-and who now control
Che government, are going to sign their
6wn death warrants? Not a bit of it.
lNell, you have the power to secure a
I>roper administration of government :
-Wil yoW exercise IL or will you continue
70 follow the lead of party, elect those
az lawmakers whom your sober second
Thought convinces you must be mimic
,al to your welfare, and then complain
Eof hostile legislation If errors have
Ebeen committed by the National Labor
Union in the past, overlook them; if the
Organization is in the hands Of those in
Ewhom you have no confidence, cleo
Others IN their places but do not give its
enemies the power to gloat over its
| ruin, or point to its failure as au add
/ tional evidence of your incapacity or 4
verifcation of their prediction that il

j Choose We this day, whom We vii
serve. If the Lord be God serve him
but if Baal, then follow Baal. Remem
Der however, We cannot serve God and
Mammon-and if Mammon Is your
choice-you should forever after hold yO,c
peace.

which does not belong to them, or sub
NIT to the proposed reduction. When
the stock becomes exhausted, com
promise (')is generally effected until the
season for the repetition of the dodge
again arrives. Now the miners so far
have had the manhood to assert their
rights, and refused to submit to these
axactions, Nine months work is suff-
Gent to supply all the Legitimate de-
mands Of the market, and upon these
demands the miners have determined
to base their rates Of wages. This Pc
riodic famine or surplus policy-is one
dictated solely by the selfish interests
Of the monOpOlists and is the game the
miners have determined to block. And
they are right
One word in conclusion, about the CO.
ercive measures threatened to be employ
ed. If tyranny is to rule the hour, il
justice is to be Over-ridden, if argu.
ment is to be met with ridicule and
misrepresentation, and the strong arm
Of the law employed to crush the weak
and protect the OppressOr, the sooner
the conflict comes the better, though
God pity the men who provoke it. But
perhaps the present is as good a time
as any to settle the question--Once ana
for GH-whether labor has any rights
that capital is bound to respect; and
much as we deprecate a resort to viO-
lence, we trust, if the issue is forced
it will be met by men who know theil
rights and knowing dare maintain them
It is high time that the working classes
realized their true position and plac
ed proper value on the arrogance anC
claims Of their villifers. 1t is question
able, very questionable, if any one ex-
cept the man who mines it-can pre-
seIt a valid title to ton of coal which
comes to the surface of the earth, anC
if capital is very anxious to have thu
matter tested, it cannot take a more
effective method-thsn by doing so a
the point Of the bayonet.

Iron and Wooden Vessels

AT a recent meeting of the British
| Iron and Steel Institute, Mr.. &. Nj.
Palmer, founder of large IRON ship
building company on the Tyne, read a
paper on the relative merits Of iron and
wood for ships building. He demon
strated that in vessels of 900 tons, G
iron ship will weigh 81 per cent. less
than the timber vessel Of the same
measurement, the displacement of water
being the same; the iron ship will there
fore carry more weight, and as the sides
are only one-halt the thickness there
will be more space for cargo. TIE adj
ditional strength attainable, too, allows
iron ships to be built much longer and
with finer lines, thus insuring higher
sailing and steaming qualities, with
greater carrying power, and, therefore,
greater commercial results. An iron
shin is not liable to strain in a heavy
sea, whereas the straining Of timber
ship often damages valuable cargo.
Moreover, the use of iron mastS, ste ell
yards, and wire rigging effects very
large saving of weight alott, and at
fords the greatest facilities for the ap-.
pIication of patent ree6ng sails and
other appliances by which economy of
labor is attained. Mr.. Palmer showed
that such a vessel could carry mer
cbandise at least % per cent cheaper
than a timber built ship of the same
His sketch Of the pro
gress in iron ship building is interest
my:
'sThe first iron vessel built in Eng
land was a canal barge, 20 feet long, 6 |
feet 81 inches wide, built Of SIC inch |
plates, at Birmingham, III 1897. The
first iron ship that went to sea was the
Aaron Manly, built near Birmingham,
and put together in London in 1920.
From that time the production Of
iron vessels proceeded slowly and at
but with irresistible force.
For many years the prejudice IN favor
Of wooden vessels was difficult to over
come, and as late as 1850 the ratio Of
was Onl y as one ton of iron
to about nine and half tons of timber
vessels. In 1868 the ratio was as
l95 tons Of timber against one ton Of
IRON. In 1865 the tonnage built Of iron
exceeded that built vi wood. Since then

Bolton was held at Farnworth, near
Bolton, to receive reports as to the re-
suit Of the application for an advance
of wages at the rate of 10 per cent.
Thirty-four lodges, representing 1000
miners, were present. The Rochdale
delegate reported that the masters
there, with few exceptions, had given
10 per cent, as also some large en-
plOyers at Little Lever. The meeting
resolved that, as the Bolton district was
per cent. below Wigan, the full adj
vance of 10 per cent be insisted upon,
Mass meetings ofthe men were at once
organized to agitate the question.
WAGES IN THE South WALES IRor
TRADE.-Owing to the continued dull
ness of the rail branch of the iron
trade in South Wales the ironmaster
have determined to reduce the wage
at their establishments. At nearly al
the works of Monmouth and Soutl
Wales on Saturday, Feb. 4, bills wer
posted up giving a months notice tina
reduction averaging 10 per cent. Wi

SOUND ADVICE.

The following is an extract from
letter recently written by Secretary
Browning, Of the Bricklayers' Nation al
Union, to one Of the local uuions. He
writes
have found as general thing that all
disputes, quarrels and hard feelings
among members of any association of
men can be attributed to a want of con-
fidence or a want Of manliness. IF fault
is found or wrong committed, or an err
ror is discovered, instead of bringing it
prominently before the union in a
straightforward, honest way, so that it
can be fairly met and settled, it is talk
ed about after the union has adjourned ;
and in this way innocent men are often
abused and injured, and prejudices are
created which soon end in distrust or
want Of confidence, and finally a disso-
luton of the organization. If there are
charges to be made, let them be made
in open meeting-betore everyone-and
if there is blame, let it rest where il
properlv belongs; but if the charges
are noJ sustained, then let good feeling
prevail, for no one should feel sorry tha
he has failed to fasten wrong upon an
innocent brother. If hard words nus
fall, let them fall within the precincts
of your union, and no where else.
Then you have the bosses and own
ers to contend with. They are every
where trying to break down our unions
our only prOtoction-and sometimes
| they find a few who are willing to sell
their independence and sacrifice then
honor, and become the tools of capita
to accomplish this object; but, thank
God, we are not all devoid of principle
There will always remain a sufficient
number to assert and defend thei
rights and to make their influence felt
and hope every member of your uniOI
will be found i'll the latter class. |
your employers ever urge you to aban-
don your union, ust make up your min,
there is something in the wind, ant
that you had better hug closer thai
ever to your union. Let me advise yol
Of one thing-a boss always respects
man who acts as a man should act, 10
the reason that he always knows wher
10 find him. 1t is mistaken ide
among men that be who il most wIllln,
s most favored. Do your whole dut
by your employer; deal with hin
squarely, but do no more.

the part of the laboring Toople, mas
much as they allowed those who have
all along taken up the cause Of labor
to, in homely phrase, work for nothing

the cause Of labor not require such as
sistance? Does the shoe not pinch the
foot of labor enough yet to show work
ingmen the necessity of such assistance?
What strange apathy this is 1t may
well satisfy the Oppressors OF labor that
no such reform is wanted.

the production Of wood built vessels
has rapidly declined. Mr.. Palmer es-
Inmates the quantity Of iron employed
in building British ships during the last
twenty years at 2,O2l, 1O9 tons, and
predicts that even that large amount
will seem small when the quantity used
during the next twenty years shall be
ascertained. He estimates the quaint
ty worked up in 1870 at 100000 tons
Iron ship building has made but
little progress IN the United States
