rent that the Carrolton line will imme-

is one car every half hour after midnight
until the usual time of commencing in the

If 1T prove correct, doubtless many people
will make particular inquiries concerning
house rent in the neighborhood of that
line. There is great demand at present
for all night accommodations of this kind,
and the innovation will meet with the ap-

thing like holiday. looking after Knights
Templar and the races. which. for the time.
draws attention from municipal affairs.

Labor ITEMS.

PHILADELPHIA, March 16-The Messrs.
Sits, of the Camden Wooden Mills, have
have notified their hands, who were on a
strike. that they would pay from this date
the scale demanded.
The carpet weavers employed by James
McDade a Co., went on a strike Il is morn
ing for an advance of seven and one-half
per cent. on the old prices.
A cooperative shoe factory is being
talked up at North Auburn.
The operatives Of the Washington Manu-
featuring Company, of Gloucester, N. J.,
are get on strike.
The Meridian (Ct Cutlery Company has
restored to the grinders the twenty per
cent on wages cut off in the fall ; the cut
tiers get fifteen per cent. back pay.
The lumbermen strike at Dandy, VT,
is about at an end, most Of the men hav-
ing returned to work. Some forty, how
ever, are still obstinate but most Of them
are leaving the place to seek employment.
THE Locomotive Engineers advocate, of
March l4th says:
Taken altogether, the strike on the Erie
Railway has been the most widespread Of
any since the commencement of the pres
ent labor difficulties. Among the strikers
now, and within the past thirty DAYS, on
that road, were the freight brakemen, car
penters, track hands and freight handlers,
and all they ask for is their back pay-what
is Justly their own. At meeting in Buff
falo, large additions we're made to the num-
Der Of strikers. until there are no brake
men, carpenters, painters or freight-house
employees Of the road on this division. 1t
was stated at the meeting that all they de-
manded was to be paid arreaPage and have
fixed time set for payment OF wages, and
be promptly paid. A resolution was passed
denouncing any attempt to int, rfere with
passenger trains. The different organize
lions refuse to return to work until a part
Of their number is restored the amount
paid before the reduction, which was from
81 10 and l.5O to 81 40 and 81 20 per
day.
The Superintendent of the LehiFh Val
ley railroad issued the following order yes
terday "All the men who are willing to
work at the wages previous to December
1, and make no disturbance, will be re-
tanned, but cannot 60 to work until bust
ness is resumed on the road. No work OF
any kind will be done until trains COM
mence running again. Those who are not
willing to work OF these terms will be paid
in full and their services dispensed with. +"
1t viii be remembered that the employees
of this road struck, not to obtain any adj
vance, but only to compel the company to
make good the promise that, If they would
submit to reduction last December, that
the old scale would be paid in the spring.
The company now refuses to live up to
their promise hence the strike

/. Resolved, That the necessities Of the
times demand extensive governmental and
social changes in order to carry out the
original intent Of the republic, preserve
the political rights of the people. az well
as conduce to a more general equality Of
wealth, leisure, progress and happiness
among the community ut large since the
experience Of every day determines that
great inequality Of wealth and social posi-
ton tends to the decentralization, slavery
and misery Of the masses, and must ulti-
mstely oe fatal to all republics.
2. Resolved, that as money is the source
Of power, and the man Of money IN always
able to control, plumber and Cypress the
man Of labor, il is indispensable that our
whole financial system be remodeled, 50
that money shall be freely furnished with
out interest by the federal government to
organized labor ON the farm, in the mine,
factory, workshop and ut the forge, so that
labor may set itself TO work, retain the
profits Of its toll, and be hereafter indie
pendent Of the control, extortions and
Encouragement of hostile, or incompetent
outside classes.
8. Resolved, that in order to carry out
these views, a general combination and
all trade and labor unions and reformatory
societies into one political body is indis-
pensable that this can be best effected
through well-supported labor press and
labor missionaries, constantly agitatIng
and disciplining the labor problem on the
broad ground Of independence from class
control and moneyed tyranny; bending
the whole labor, thought and energy of the
nation to the means for the deliverance of
labor from bondage to capital, and the uni
hcation Of all classes into social republic,
where rights, labors rewards and opportu
mites for development shall be equalized
as much as possible where there shall be
constant work when desired, and adequate
pay where poverty, misery, vice and in
temperance shall cease to exist and where
general harmony of interest shall take the
place of the existing class strikes.
4. Resolved, that as the objects sought
for are within the pale Of the constitution
and the law, their open and fearless discus
sion on all DC ,asions is paramount duty
and that all minor reforms should give
place to the primary one Of the independ-
ence of labor from the domination Of cap
tai as the basis for all future progress.

accident took place this afternoon in the
burning mines. The fan that draws the
deadly gases from the fire stopped for two
minutes, resulting in the death by suffo-
cation of 9 miner, who leaves six children.

being brought out nearly dead by another

Lastly, We are opposed to them because
q genuine national, representative labor or
gani-otion, rejecting the views ana l'''e'
s.ts Of the industrial classes and controlled
bv men of practical experimental organ
ization having for its object the ameliora-
ton Of the condition of those who labor
for living, already exists The Labor
Congress of the United States. Its broad,
comprehensive platform explains its mis-
sion. 1t is established on q solid founda-
ton. 1t is the legitimate result of the
steady progress Of the labor movement. 1t
is understood and endorsed by those whose
interests it Processes to represent, and is
perfectly able to dispense with the advice
and service Of the whole brood of tiedglings
who are so eager to become the leaders Of
the poor, dear, ignorant working people.
In conclusion, we have no doubt but
that the good sense of the delegates to the
Congress will prompt them to welcome
all authorized representatives from the
Oranges, who desire in good faith to secure
an alliance offensive or defensive-with
that body while it is equally certain they
will refuse to allow themselves to be made

For the appointment Of state Mine Inspector
we take pleasure in presenting the name Of
ANDREW Roy, of Churchill gentleman pos
sessing in an eminent degree every requisite
to make an efficient and faithful officer. His
experience and practical knowledge Of the
workings Of the mines, his education, re-
search and scientific attainments, as well as
his acknowledged ability as a geologist, par
ticularly tit him for the responsible position.
We feel satisfied his appointment would give
general satisfaction alike to the miners and
their employers. We trust and believe these
considerations will not be overlooked by His
Excellency when issuing his commission.
