Anti-MOnOpoIy.

The Anti Monopoly Convention, in session at
| Harrisburg, Pa, March 2, and 4 last, appoint
ed, just prior to adjourning, an executive COM
mittee of eleven members, with power to recon-
yene the said convention at such time and place
rs in their Judgment should seem proper.
By virtue of that authority, the undersigned,
q majority of said Executive Committee, hereby
officially announce that the said Convention will
reconvene in the city of Harrisburg, GU Tuesday,
February l, 1876, at ten O'Clock in the forenoon,
sharp.
All Trade or Labor Unions, Oranges or other
Associations of workingmen, having for their
object the protection of their members and the
community against the money, Transporting,
lana and other monopolies with which the peo-
pie are accursed, are entitled to send two dele
gates, the names of whom should be sent, as
soon as possible after appointment, tc the Secre-
tary of the Committee.
Associations in sympathy with the purposes of
the convention, who are unable, by reason of
lack of funds, TO send delegates direct from their
own membership, are requested to appoint
proxies, and forward such suggestions relative
to the Convention as they may feel impelled to
make, to the Chairman, Secretary, or any men,
Der of the committee.
Associations represented, either by delegate
or letter, will be required 10 contribute their por-
portiouate share of the necessary expenses,
which will, however, but triiing.
The convection of the Clearfied miners, and
OlUBE SpScls OI the conspiracy laws Ol inc SOlu-
monwealth--the landlord and tenant act--the
store order or ''truck" systematic question of
laws to protect practical corporations - the
Miners Weigh Bill''-the Btuminious Ventila-
tion Bili-thc report of the Legislative Com
mttee, appointed at the last session to enquire
into alleged violations Of the charters of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and Phila-
dclphia and Reading Coal and Iron Companies,
a matter which involves the whole question of
the relative rights of individuals and corpora
tions--all these questions, and others equally
interesting TO the Anti-moucpolist, will probably
come before the approaching session of our Leg
islature for discussion and action. Iu view of
this fact, it seems to us important, since party
conventions will not take cognizance OF our
wants as Anti-Monopolists. that we should come
together, under the very noses, so TO speak, of
the law makers, and give unmstakablc express
sion TO them ourselves.
The Labor Question, as natiJnal one, is just
not be overlooked BY is. -'-'-''
During the sessions of the Convention, speak
ers of national reputation, without regard 10
to party, Will address the delegates in reference
to Labor's iutereset in the great political ques
tions of the day.
II Is earnestly hoped that every Association in
the State that is Anti-Mono poly in its purposes
will send delegates.
