Respectfully, HENRY OYERSrOLz. Mayor

lin said that the socialists did not recognize the
right of the Mayor to prevent them from bearing
arms; that the two companies that would parade on
the Fourth were organized and armed under the
State law and if the Mayors order was in any man
ner intended for them they certainly would pay no

Philip Won Paten is the secretary OF the
socialist labor party of Cincinnsn' an organ
izaton numbering some four hundred' or
perhaps nye hundred men. Two years ago,
when the railroad riots occurred here, they TOOK
an active part in the troubles, though Won faten
bimself was NOT here until atterward. He has
Office ON the corner OF Seventh and Pine streets in
which he ,leyotes most of his time to working for

Fifth street market space. at which they passed
SHINE ratherstwild resolutions in favor OF
eiebt hour law, but since that time they have
done nothing in the matter. The HERALD
respondent asked Won Paten il they intended to
make any demonstration on the Fourth of July.
I'VE shah not he repled: there are some local
differences i'll society just at present which pre-
vent making any demonstration.
"Will you pass resolutions or take any actions
whatever looking to the proposed striker inquired.
'.No, will not; it wouldn't be expedent for
II learn nv however he added. that in many other
cities friends have agreed to appear and urge
their demands for reduction of the hours of labor,
and many of our people here are in sympathy with
them"
This ended the conversation. The trouble among
the socialists grew of the action of part Of
their number in regard to the accident i'll Post &
Co. factory, which, it will be remembered, occurred
a few weeks ago, causing the death Of six workmen
by the insecurity OF the building
in which they employed. After that
occurred two or three meetings Of the
passed denouncing Post& Co. for having put their
workmen in building which. after being partially
burned, proved insecure. But at these meetings
ers protested against the action OF the society and
drew away quite number of them. This created
the dissatisfaction which has been alluded to.

There seems to be very little excitement in this
city IN regard to the threatened outbreak"
on the Fourth. The HERALD correspondent
called at the headquarters of the socialists

with their leaders. They say emphatcally
that there is to be strike and violence that
day. They propose to hold picnic simply. and
perhaps will 80 unarmed 1t had been the intention
to carry arms for the parade, but since the
law passed prohibiting 1t they think
they will yield the point. The matter. will
be settled tomorrow. 1t is intended to
have two or three of the Lehr and Weir yerein ap-
pear armed upon the street. to have them arrested
and dtaken to court to make test case. This will de-
termine the question the consitutionaty of the
law; il it goes against them they say they VIII leave

State militia, has quartered here the First and
Second regiments and the Sixth and Sixteenth

Zouaves company of artillery OF six field pieces and

police are armed with Springfield rifles, making in
all q force Of about thirty-five hundred we'll drilled

900 men and they know they are outnumbercd if
they felt disposed to do violence. Ali the troops in
command of the authorities will be held in readiness.
With such preparations on the one hand and such
professions on the other, there is not much prob
ability of trouble.
Your correspondent had brief conversation with

obey the laws take the severest conse-
quences. The lives and property of the public

may be said the trouble with the Bohemian picnic
has no political significance, although they were
socialists and would act with the Lehr and Wehr
Verein in case OF another riot.
WHAT Is SAID IN NEW yoIK-oNLY PEACEFUL

While the men of Chicago and st. Louis-for from
the latter city alarming reports have also been re-
ceived here-appear to be preparing for action the
game Of their New York fellow workers seems to be
