The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1874-03-14

Is the Pittsburgh Labor Tribune Of Feb.
28th, appeared card signed by one W. d.
Woolslayer which is evidently written for
the purpose Of injuring an ex-employe Of
that paper, but now connected with the
ADVOCATE and the qualification Of petty
malice. 1t is well tnown that Pennsylvania
strongly favors protection and as the
ADVOCATE has recently become the favored
champion Of labor in certain portions Of
the Keystone State, the falsehood Of Free
Trade has been raised by the Tribune,
and It's paid lackeys, for the purpose Of in
juring a paper which happens to have
tread upon its corns.
In the communication referred to Mr..
Woolslayer. says he stopped travelling
with the representative of the ADVOCATE,
because he expressed his contempt ter the
miners, while the truth of the matter ID,
the representative of the ADVOCATE re-
fused longer TO travel with Woolslayer,
because his greatest aim seemed to be to
transfer his carcass TITO a Hkiskey slayer.
His puny attempt to injure a worthy
young man, will be taken Cor what it is
worth, and that is nothing at all
Again, we are credibly informed that
the card which recently appeared in the
Tribune from Mr. Archbold, even after his
signature had been attached thereto, had
the following prehxed to, in opposition to
his expressed wish
Beware Of certain parties travelling a.
round the country, asserting that the National
Labor Tribune is a failure, and is about TO
cease publication. One particular party,
who ) at the present time visiting the miners
OF the Monongahela river, is making himself
quite conspicuous in this respect All such
statements are utterly false, and are the re-
cult of either malice or envy
1t will thus be seen, that before the
card Of Mr. Archbold had been patched
up" for the purpose of maligning an eff
cient and reliable agent of the ADVOCATE,
who had seen fit to transfer his services
from the Tribune, there was no warning
to Union men against taking Free Trade
paper published in Chicago"
The miserable effort Of the Tribune and
its clique, is thus dishOnorably trying to
injure the influence of the oldest labor
journal in America, by fslsebood and con-
slant Misrepresentation, will prove abor-
tive, for the ADVOCATE has been too long
and favorably known to be affected by any
agency which malice or jealousy directs.
We have no word of reproach against
the gentlemen who have recently become
connected with the Tribune, but We believe
if they could control that interest which
controls them, an influence which can only
command the scorn of honorable men, it
would be better alike for the paper and its
patrons. So far as Mr.. Arcllbold is con-
cerned, we kIsOtC him to be friend of the
ADVOCATE, and we feel satisfied he would
be the last man TO nisrepreset us for the
purpose of building up the Tribune or any
other journal.
But we have done. In the future, we
shall make no alluaons to its slanderous
statements, be they what they may. 1t is
welcome TO all the capital it can make by
using them a. its stock in trade. Others
have failed when making the same attempt.
It's attempt will end in failure. Yale.

REoRGANIzATloN OF TUE MINERS UNION.
On Monday night there was large meet
ing held at Williams Hall, under the aus
pieces Of the Miners Lodge. The meeting
was orgqaized by calling Mr.. John DENIM
b. the chair. MIR. DENIM opened the meet
ing with few appropriate remarks, and
introduced your correspondent, who ad-
dressed the meeting on the necessity Of or
ganization and mutual protection. He
was followed BY Mr.. John DENIM, who
spoke in very warm and eloquent strain,
upon the evils which the miners Of Streator
had 10 contend against At the close Of
his remarks he requested those who were
Ia favor Of union To come forward and sign
their names to the books Of the AssocIa-
ton.
It was n wed, and carried by acclama-
ton, that the Secretary of the association
take his seat and open the books.
Mr.. Frank Hodge stepped forward, took
his scat, and proceeded to business
Besides the old members there we're
seventeen new members joined, and many
more promised to do 50 at the next meet
ing, which will be held on the the 18th
inst.
BUSINESS
The mining interests Of this place is the
chief element Of the business, aud this, at
the present time, is very dull. There are
three shafts now going, under the Yer
million Coal Company, and there is another
company running one shaft, besides about
fifty smaller banks, employing about 900
miners.
They are not, however, running more
that about three and a half days, on the
average, at one dollar per ton up to the
first Of April, after which date they will be
reduced to ninety cents, as per contract
with the company. of course the country
banks will follow in order, and general
reduction is looked for. 1t is expected
that further reduction will take place ON
the first Of. April, and that will cut down
from ten to fifteen per cert, unless they
succeed in getting up good and sub=.sn-
tial union. b. j. "a.

what we consider q just rate on govern

interest on the same should not exceed ten
per cent. whereas it ought to have read

instances where the most nsdous plots have been laid
