CINCINNATI. MAY IL, 1872.

STovK AND HOLLOW WARE MoULDERs'
lockout took place in the Stove and Hollow
Ware Foundries of the city, which has spread
through this and adjoining States. The cause
Of the lockout arises from the action of the
moulders about ghteen mo1ths ago, who, to
enable an extensive employer to extricate
himself from financial embarrassment, gener
ously agreed to work for him until he could
restore his credit, at a reduction Of fifteen
cents which generosity the other employers
used as means to gradually secure to them
selves the same reduction, by ingeniously
10 ing Vantage Of circumstances that pre-
vented the moulders from making deter
mined resistance. The party for which the
reduction was made having restored his finan-
cial credit, the moulders have been for some
time past agitating the propriety Of demand
ing the wages they received previous to the re
sentirg to the bosses demand for the increase
on the 10th inst, over which they considered
until ghe 10Th when they peremptorily refused
to Fay the old wages, and struck the men out
Of their shop. 1t appears that this action Of
the bosses was decided upon through the
belief that some thirty non-union men and the
boys they have in their employ would con-
tinue their work, who, with the aid Of what
help they could pick up would enable them
to subdue the Union men and compel them to
resume work at the reduced rates But let it
be said to the credit Of these non-union men
and boys that the most Of them are out and
are determined to remain out until the con
test is decided. They confess that il it was
not for the Union they would not receive the
wages they do, nor will they, because they
are not in accord with the Union, allow the
bosses to use them for the base purpose Of
preventing their fellow workmen from receiv-
ing the advance they demanded. A noticea-
bic thing in this affair is the fact that the per-
son for whose benefit the reduction was made.
opposed the demand of the men, and it was
through his influence that the cooperation of
the bosses to refuse the demand was secured.
He claimed that he had enough non-union
men and boys to do his work until they should
conquor he counted withouthost, his reserves
were the first to quit work, leaving him a
general without an army.
Thus far the moulders have conducted
themselves and their business in quiet, de-
termined and manly manner, credit to them
selves and the Union. The demand is Just,
and their is every indication that the lock out
will be a short one, as the support the bosses
relied upon has forsaken them.
The employers at Louisville and Indianapo-
lis are paying the increase. At Trenton the
men are working under the agreement with
their employers to pay the Is per cent if it
is paid in the city. At St Louis the men
are out. In this city there are about 300 men
out.

THE annual ball and supper of the St.
Georges Society was grand succ ess, and
shows, by the number of citizens present who
are not acting members, with what estimation
the efforts Of the society are held in the com
munity. The spacious DINING hall Of the
Russell House was filed with those who par
ticipated in the festivities Of the evening.
Great credit is due to the committee who had
the matter in charge, also to the proprietors
of the Russell House for admirable arrange
ments, and the bountiful supply Of substan.
tials that loaded down the long and well dec.
Grated tables. To sum it all up it was a very
well conducted, pleasant and profitable affair
and seemed to be well enjoyed by all who
favored it with their presence

MCRAT HALsTEAD, editor Of the Commer-
cidi, has at last come to grief; his chief amuse-
ment has been to use his paper to stab and
slur all connected with labor organizations, or
such public men as advocate their interests.
His last achievement in that line was an at
tempt to defame and destroy the reputation
Of Thos. Corcoran, member Of the Ohio Leg
islature from Hamilton County Corcoran
stood it as long as human nature would per
nit, then turned on him and SO demoralized
him that he appealed to the Legislature to
protect him. We have now an investigating
committee in session, to prove that Tommy
Corcoran is very bad man failing in that il
now appears to have assumed the duty Of
trying" to excuse Halstead and prove that
what Corcoran said is not 50. Halstead weighs
two hundred, Corcoran one hundred and
twelve immediately after haying Halstead
in the Legislature, Tommy came to the city
to be interviewed by his burly antagonist, who
didn't do it, but remained in his sanctum and
assumed the role Of abused virtue. 1t is 90
sad that that the way Of 1.-The trangressor is
hard"

TRADE Of all kinds continues good We
hear Of no complaints Of the lack of work
with competent workmen at any business
The most fourishing are those who have sd-
hered closely to their organizations there is
an influence and power in . unity Of action,

strand in rope, if cOmpOsed Of good material,
adds to its strength to resist pressure, there
fore trades union, formed upon correct prin-
ciples, can and will be Al nucleus around
which mechanics can rally in the time Of need.

FROM reports it appears the long talked of
Cincinnati Convention is in full blast There
seems to be . number Of prominent men be-
fore the meeting but one who has proclaimed
himself in favor Of Labor Reform, as set forth
in our platform, and that one is Judge Davis,
and bear in mind the only objection brought
against him is his expressed sympathy and en-
dorsement Of the Columbus Platform, and il
not nominated by the Convention, it will be
because he had the independence to come out
boldly in favor Of our position without fear Of
political consequences. Such contrast ia
the sequeamishness evinced by politicians Of
the present day is worthy Of the commenda.

Such a filthy and profuse nasal discharge
Where does it come from! The little glands
in the tissue lining the chambers of the nose
are liberated and diseased, drawing from the
system its corruption. 1t is an outlet for its

many advertised strong liquids, snuffs and in

or elsewhere. The disease il translated to an

A VISIT to the Retail Department of the
mammoth Dry Goods establishment of Messrs.
Field & Letter, corner Of Madison and market,
will repay any one intending to purchase. II
seems almost incredible that magnificent,
substantial five story structure, filed with
fabrics from all quarters and from every cline,
should now be found in the location where a
few months ago all was ruin and desolation.
But such is the fact, and proves how indomi,
table is the enterprise Of Chicago's represen
tative men.
The stock Of Messrs. Field, Letter L Co. i,
the largest in the West, and at this season o.
the year is especially worthy the attention o
buyers. Doing strictly cash business, they
are enabled to give their purchasers the ad
vantages which such a system commands.

To the Officers and Members Of Local Unions
GENTLEMEN Several weeks ago | pub
hshed a request that local unions would send
me their receipts for the 20 per cent they paid
to Union No. 4, according to order u the Ell
ecutive Board, March, 1871, but up to date
only nine have complied, viz: Unions No. 8
%, %, 81, 81, &C, 20, g, 81. | again call the
attention Of local unions to the necessity Of
them forwarding their receipts for the 10 per
cent, so that they may be credited with tAs
same, when the report is finished. by the com-
mittee. 1t is therefore hoped that unions
will comply Immediately with the shove re
quest
At the same time / advertised for copy OF
the report Of the Kingston conspiracy case,
made by the committee appointed to conduct
that case, but up to date | have failed to pro
cure one. l therefore request that all unions
that sent money in aid of Kingston union to
defend them IN the suit against them for con
spirscy, will send me their receipt for the
SAme, IS l believe that is the only way that
we can ascertain what unions sent aid, and
what amount they sent The gentleman that
il now holding the balance of that money
wishes to pay it back to the different unions
who contributed the same, pro rata
Unions will therefore Immediately comply
with this request, as we wish to settle up this
matter before the time rolls around for the
assembling of the next convention. | viii
therefore suggest that unions who have any
claims to the balance of that money viii pre-
sent them within thirty days after the publ
cation Of this order. All receipts sent to me
viii be returned very shortly TO the unions
who sent them
