THE RRICKLAYERS

10 all Trades Unionists and Workingmen
It is duty we owe each other to render
What little aid we can toward the formation
Of unions and associations whenever and
wherever the opportunity offers, and the
object of this letter is to ask all who may
be interested in the work Of Labor Reform,
whether he or they be Crispins, Tailors,
Carpenters, Coopers, or Of any other
branch Of industry, to ascertain the name
and address of some bricklayers in their
city or town and send the same to me, to
the end that correspondence may be opened
and an organization effected
The Constitution of the Bricklayers' Ma
tional Union provides that any six brick
layers in any community, in good standing,
may apply for charter.

SMALL POx.-Now that this terrible disease
has ceased to be epidemic, and the deaths
from it have dwindled down from one hun
dred and ten to twenty-five per week, few
facts in connection with its spread may be Of
interest. 1t may not be generally known,
yet the census returns show that Cincinnati
is the most densely populated city in the
world-it has population Of $4,000 to the
square mile, while New York, which is
supposed in that respect to be the worst city
in this country has but $4,000. Cincinnati
has IS buildings TO the square acre, London
has but forty. There is here ], 4lO tenement
houses, having l6,197 rooms occupied by
1884 families numbering 1921 souls. 4,2lS
families have but one room to a family in
which to cook, eat and sleep, and these APIS
families represent 1904 people, and Of these
rooms 3, ST. have but one window, 400 fami-
lies have two rooms. These figures are official
and are sufficient to appal the stoutest who
may endeavor to realize this statement
Tenement houses are a. a rule huge bar
racks-the rooms are small and lighted only
from one side The only idea entertained in
their building is to cover every inch of ground
possible, and get up in the air az far as pos
Sible-five stories highhbeing the general rule,
while six stories are frequently met with.
The most terrible idea in connection with
these traps is fire. No provision is made for
such an emergency, and scores Of lives must
be lost, if fire should once get Roadway in
one Of these barracks
Statistics show that it is the sections where
these barracks are located that the small pox
has been most fatal and who can wonder at it I
What earthly chance have the poor men, wo-
men and children, forced by cruel necessity TO
live in these pest houses to escape contagion
They have neither light, ventilation, or sufi-
cient water. and as q consequence cleanliness
is not practiced to any great extent, and when
we consider that in these houses our tailors,
shoemAkers, matters, seamstresses and washer
women are forced to live, and when we
further consider that when the contagion
takes hold Of them or theirs, they are obliged
to keep the matter secret, 50 As to secure
bread, who can wonder at the spread Of the
disease. The tailor carries it in the coat he
has made to the customer, and 50 with the
Others The seamstress, Q widow perhaps,
with a sick child, dependent upon her labor
for food and medicine viii not tell the lad,
she may be making dress for that the small
pox is in her abode, knowing that she would

be summed ~ a wild beast, and 50 she carries
home the dress, from the infected room, and
the chances are that few days viii reveal
the disease in the Lady's home.
Tins is the disease carried, an epidemic is
declared, the pest house is opened-death
stares the many in the face, business is pro-
strated, and why! Because labor does not
receive sufficient to live in q condition that
men should live in. It is not the dissolute or
worthless who are forced to live in this way,
1t is the hard listed, honest mechanic and day
lAborer, and yet strange to say, these men
will not lift their hands or their voices to
crush ont of existence the monster that keeps
them in this living death. The much talked
Of pauper labor Of Europe, which the friends
Of the workingmen in Congress talk so much
about, has realization here in the great and
glorious Queen City Of the West

policy to put little aside for q rainy day, to
show to your employers that you consider the
best guarantee for peace is, TO be prepared for
war. Respect yourselves, and others viii re-
spect You.
The great lack among wOrkingmen is their
want of sympathy their jealousy and sus-
picion of each other. These must be dis
carded. 1t is all nonsense to talk of indie
pendence ; no organization can be said to be
independent Of another. They are all links
Of the same chain. An injury to one craft
must ultimately prove an injury to all. There
are but two classes divided by the gulf-the
robber and the robbed. You must stand by
your organizations or you must fall. You
must strengthen each others hands, by word
and deed. Divided, you must fall a prey
united, you will prove invincible. Now, the
question arises, what are you asked TO unite
for: To secure and protect your own rights,
and the rights Of your wives and little ones,
to obtain decent livelihood. No religious,
political, or national test enters into the
movement. No attack on the rights Of any
employer is contemplated-none whatever.
What, then, is your duty in the premises
To stand idly by, to let the golden opportu-
nifty pass, and grumble about the proposed
By no means. God helps those
who help themselves. Yon have the means
within your power to secure an honest days
wages for an honest days work. Will you
avail yourselves of them3 Wen tell you
how to do it. Join your trades union, if you
have not already done; give the saloon aswide
aberth as possible stand by one another es-
tablish library and lecture room, for your
own entertainment remember every little
makes a muckle speak to your associate, and
get him to follow your example ; talk co-ope-
ration, whenever you have chance act as
though the success Of the movement depend
ed on your own e1ertion, and depend upon it,
you will become better men, better husbands
and fathers, and better citizens Try it for
once, and see.

A workingman some time ago published
his own biography, one of the most inter
esting little volumes that has appeared
during the present century 1t is as fol
lows:
1t may, to some, appear like vanity in
me to write that / now do, but | should
not give my life truly if omitted it.
When filing cart with earth on a farm,
never stopped work because my side of the
cart might be heaped up before the other
side. at which was another workman. /
pushed over what had heaped up to help
him SO doubtless he did to me when he
was first and / was last. When have fill
I'd nv columns of a newspaper with matter
for which was to be paid never stopped
if / thought the subject required more ex-
PLANTATION because there was no contract for
more psymeut or no possibility Of obtain
ing more. When have lived in a barrsck
room. have stopped work and taken a
baby from a soldiers wife when she had to
work, and nursed it for her, or gone for
water for her, OF cleaned another mans &C
coutrements, though it was no part OF my
duty to do 50.
When / have been engaged in political
literature, or travelling for a newspaper l
have gone many miles out OF my road to
ascertain q local fact, or to pursue a sub
iect to its minutest details, if it appeared
that the public were unacquainted with the
facts Of the case and this when | had
work, was the most pleasant and profitable.
When l have wanted work have accepted
it at any wages / could get, at q pillow, in
farm draining, stone quarrying, breaking
stones, at wood cutting, in a saw-pit, as a
civilian or soldier. In London l have
Vroomed q cabmanG horse and cleaned out
a stable for q siXpence. | have since tried
literature, and have done as much writing
for ten shillings as / have readily obtained

for.
But if had not been contented to begin
at the beginning and accept ten shillings,

for pride is sense, and the only path t.

The WORK HoUsE-A committee from q
Unions, consisting of L. McHugh, T. J.
White, John Flanagan, c. w. Tucker and
T. NJ Talon, visited Columbus lately, to
protest against Senate bill No. As. introduced
by Mr. Beavis Of Cleveland. The committee
was enabled through the courtesy Of Hon. T.
A. Corcoran to meet the entire delegation
from this county in the General Assembly.
The meeting was held in the State capitol
aud was by request opened by L. McHugh on
the part of the Trade Unions, in an able and
exhaustive exposition ct the great wrong that
would be done by the passage Of the bill. He
was followed by Mr.. Flanagan, who in few
well chosen remarks put the finishing touches
to the protest, after which many questions
were asked the committee by the representa-
tives, as to their views Of the contract system
in prisons, all Of which were answered SO in
telligibly, and showed such thorough knowl-
edge Of the prison system generally, backed as
they were by official documents, that at the
close Of the meeting the delegates from our
Trade Unions were compimented by a vote
Of thanks from the Representatives, for the
information given.
The next day the three Senators from this
county were coaxed into . corner, and the
committee went through the same process
with them, tearing the bill all TO rags, and
not satisfied with this went after the whole
prison system Of labor in such a manner as to
cause Senator Young to be put on his mettle,
as he claimed to be the father of the work
house system in Ohio, but he acknowledged
finally that he was rather ashamed of his
banthng and a thorough investigation was
promised. As a whole the delegation were
well pleased with their success, and the
workingmen Of the State owe them . debt of
gratitude as wen as the committee, who last
year so ably defeated similar attempted legis
lation.

PLAIN TALK TO PLAIN MEN.-Working-
men of Chicago: II we have somewhat re
framed of late from appealing TO you directly
to perform an imperative duty, or showingthe
necessity of systematic organization, it is GER
tainly not because we value less highly than
we have ever done, the advantages certain to
accrue from such action ; and it is safe to say,
there never was time in the history Of the
labor unions of our city, when greater danger
threatened their inaction-inactiOn which I'M
scrupulous employers are sure to avail them
selves Of, to their advantage and your injury,
than at present. And yet there is little use
in appealing to your interests or manhood,
little use in receiving your endorsement, un-
less your actions prove that you are prepared
to practice what you preach. 1t requires no
philosopher to prove that in combination,
unity of sentiment and action, your only
safety lies. We wouldn't give fig for the
chronic grumbler, who is always complaining
about the exactiOns Of employers and the
hardness Of the times, who depends entirely
ON the efforts Of others to remove them, or
who neglects or refuses to share his lot with
his fellow workman. How common the ex-
pressien, "if we were only united, we could
accomplish all we want" Very true, and the
question arises, why are yor not united
Why is not every trades union represented in
trades assembly! WHY'S it that when
difficulties meet yOu-when the day Of dis
Aster comes when you are pOwerIess to re-
sist an unjust reduction when you want the
influence Of . strong arm, the question is
asked /: why haven't we Trades Assem-
hlyy' II the Assembly Is considered tower
Of strength in the day Of adversely, why
should it be less 50 in the day Of prosperity
II the sympathy Of your fellow artisans is de.
airable when out Of employment or on .
strike, is it not equally desirable when you
are getting your $3.50 or 800: Isn't it

RK-DIsTRIcTIEG THE CITY.-There has been
nothing for long time that has 80 stirred up
our local politicians IS the bill before the
Legislature to re-district the city. As the
city u now divided, one-third Of the citizens
have One-half the representatives, in our city
Legislature, and the re-districting viii Of
necessity be death blow to many Of the
city fathers, while corresponding hopes viii
be raised in the bosoms Of would be fathers.
The discussion has elected the fact that we
have statesmen among Us, who assent their
belief that money and not men should be re-
presented in council. OF course workingmen
with their usual nonchalsnce, have NO opinion
in the matter.
