"A lawyer might work for

OF this explanation the New

CONVICT LABOR-A meeting Of those op.
posed to the present system Of convict labor
was held Tuesday evening at the corner Of
Busler and Twenty second streets.
The meeting was called to order by w H.
Stevens, and A. K Peterson chosen 70 pre-
side over the deliberations of the meeting.
After few preliminary remarks. the chair
introduced Mr. w. Van o Linda, who deliv-
cred an eloquent speech in opposition to con
Wet labor He spoke Of the evil tendencies
of turning our Jalls and PenitentiAries into
workshops for the education of criminals in oul
best trades, and the State allowing itself to
be used by designing men ID break down the
industrial system, which good and honest
men established; Of the injury it was doing in
permitting the lsbor OF convicts to be brought
into competition with honest labor. The
gentleman spoke at some length and made
some very good points. He closed by ap-
pealing to his hearers 70 see that the working
men cast their vote for men who would legis-
late against the contract system Of convict
labor.
j. G. Stevens was the neat speaker. He
was in favor Of shortening the hours Of con-
vict labor, and the subjection Of convicts TO
more solitary continents. The speaker con.
tended that the coOpers we're injured more
than any other class by convict labor. The
introduction Of machinery was not ~ injuri-
GUS to his trade as the introduction Of convict
labor. He said there was labor that they
could be employed in, which would not con-
lict with the honest tOiler, and still afford n
revenue to the State, and be . benefit to the
community at large. Mr.. Stevens urged the
wOrkingmen to organize and elect men who
would support their measures in the legislA-
ture
Several other gentlemen addressed the
meeting in opposition to convict labor show
ing up the perniciOus working Of the contract
system, and the meeting adjourned to elect
permanent officers on q future occasion.

THE MOLDERS.
(From the Iron Moiders' Journsl for Nav.


TIE CoNvENrIoS. The attention Of
every Union is called to article 2 Of the
constitution, especially section 3 of said
article, which provides that delegates to
the convention shall be elected in May, at
q regular meeting. Those Unions having
O hundred or more members will be entl-
tied to two or more delegates-the mum
ber of delegates being dependent upon the
number Of members they report for May.
Blank credentials will be forwarded to
each Union after the reports for May have
been received.
The convention, from present appear
ances, should be able to close ITS session
in one week-not that haste should be
made to that end, but because there will
be but little to do beyond electing officers,
auditing accounts, and perfecting one or
two laws. We have got into the habit Of
taking up nine OF ten days, and even then
rushing all the work through in the last
couple of days. Delegates should 60 to
the convention prepared, instead Of pre-
pairing after they get there. After the
third day no new business should be in
troduced, except as 1t might be brought
out by committees. BY reference TO the
reports of the several conventions, 1t will
be seen that day after day, until the very
last minute almost, the resolution mill is
kept at work on every imaginable subject,
and sometimes legislation is rushed
through without a committee having an
opportunity to study it. If delegates
came prepared, as they should be, with
their resolutions and amendments TO con-
stitution carefully written, and on the
second day they were all introduced and
referred to the proper CON mmittees, then
proper attention would be given them, and
