A l uNNY WISE AND POUND
FOOLISH POLICY.

The recent action Of the Bl icklayer's
National Convention in refusing to recog-
Dize or admit into the organization
skilled worF men Of color, is libel on the
fact we cannot believe that sensible, ear
nest body Of m gcbanics could sanction
such suicidel poicy,-or at least that
those delega; 3 who voted in the negative
expressed the wishes Of their constituents
Whether rege ed from a standpoint of
principle or pc cy, their action is utterly
indefensible, an remains stigma on the
intelligence of the craft. The efforts of
Canute to control the action of the tide,
was not more ridiculous then the efforts
Of the convention to prevent the Colored
workmeu, 80 far as their efforts are co,l-
cerned, from competing in the race of life,
or organizir in the grand army Of labor
The political status of the colored labo-
rer is irrevocably fixed, and that status
makas him for veal OF woe, the peer, at the
ballot boz, Of s white competitor. No
mater the mo-ve which controlled the
ACTON of those who changed him from q
chat to a MAJ this is now an obsolete
issue. The amendment to the constitution
declaring him an American citizen has been
ratified by the American people, and from
this decision there can be no appeal. In
his new relationship, in which his labor as
a freeman is brought into direct Compel
ton with the white mechanic, is it the part
Of honesty or prudence to force him inso
the arms of the common enemy Is labor
so powerful, SO thoroughly organized III
it can afford to fight with labor nd capital /
If the colored bricklayers are compes 10. =
with the white bricklayers, is it not better,
safer, to secure their cooperation their
allegiance to union principles to subjec;
them to the same regulations which they
themselves recognize, than to place them
nolens polens, in the army of the opposition !
Do they not see that by their action they
are playing directly into the hands of their
enemies. and giving them an opportunity
to array the press and public sentiment
against them and sneer an they please,
they must secure the aid and sympathy Of

Pittsburgh Coal Items

THE production of coal on the Pan
Hardle, Is very light. The works having
orders to supply the mills, are the only
ores doing anything
The New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
Co.'S. works on the Pennsylvania railroad,
employing over FIVE hundred miners, are
idle: the Company want the men to sign
articles agreeing 10 work for certain wages
which the men claim are below the regular
rates.
THE stike Of the miners in Schuylkin
county, has affected the manufacturing in
dustries in that section. Many works
have entirely ceased. They desire the
basis of 1873, to govern the wages Of 1874.
The number of miners on strike is estima-
ted at about 1900.
Tbs wages for mining on the river are 4
cents per bushel. The works are still in
operation, and will continue until the river
freezes.
A FATAL ACCIDENT occurred ON the
tressle works of the Cslsle Shannon coal
works, BY which two me lost their lives.
A brol en- wheel caused a car of coal on
which they were riding to fall through
distance of 104 feet

PITTsBUReH ROLLING MILL NEWS.

THERE has been q general resumption of

rather, to supply ths, SenSxnd or liIl ORDERS
Buyers are acting more cautiously, invest

ENGLISH FEDERATION OF EN-
PLOYERS

The federation recently formed by the
manufacturers and employers of Great
Britain % conteract the growing influence
Of Trades Unions, does not present to our
mind the gloomy fureboGings to the in
dustrial classes pronosticated by the Eng
lish and American press. John Bull can
see as far into a milestone as anybody else,
and while he is "A selfish animal, his very
selfSLneSs will make him pause before he
deliberately, needlessly, signs his owndeath
warrant At every crisis IN English his
tory, the sober, second-thought, the power
behind the throne has happily come to the
rescue. and with the wholesale exodus Of
her agricultural population, staring her
in the face it is safe to presume she Will
think twice before, by her own unmitigatt d
folly, her prestige is destroyed and the
inevitable decadence uf her manufacturing
and commercial supremacy secured. Strip
her Of her agricultural and mechanical ele-
ments, and she falls, beyond redemption
to the position of third class power, never
again to be resurrected.
These facts are 50 patent, 50 sci evident,
that no argument, no elaboration is re-
auired to demonstrate their truthfulness,
while they furnish the surest guarantee
that her best and ablest minds, who have
thoroughly investigated the subject, in all
its bearings, and weighed the results, will
effectively, even at the eleventh hour,
prevent the threatened catastrophe.
We refer to this subject for the simple
reason that a large portion Of the American
press are holding up the action of her
manufacturers as a menace to our own
mechanics, and warning, in semi-patron-
izing manner. the Trades Unionists who
believe that they should have voice in
the valuation of their olra labor
Ler the manufacturers of Great Britain
carry their suicidal programme into execu-
ton, and cooperative manufactures would
soon be counted by scores where they are
now counted by tens, while the skilled
surplus labor of the tight little island
would transfer it's services from the old to
the new world. The whole affair looks too

term Of service had expired, no plea was
set up, that while in he performance O.
their duty, the bankers had acknowledge
the social equality Of the commanding ON
Ger, in private life. In our public meetings;
in our political caucuses at the polls, the
millionaire and the mechanic pulland work
together, yet, nobody claims because they
have voted the same ticket, or helped to
mark out the same line of policy, that So
cial equality has been recognized thereby.
A nearer approach to social equality can
be met with in our parks any August day,
when the bellies of our city may be found
packed as close as behring's in bal -el, sit
