LABOR gIlITTERS.

An Organized Eabor Movement in Denver.
DENVER, Col, Feb. ll,-Dcnver Is Rt pres
ent undergoing the hlst labor agitation of its
history, and as the agitation Is general the
feeling manifested among laborp. men aud
others is quito Intense. The labOrins classes
have for several months past becn gradually
forming unions until now twcnty.one or.
carnations of the kind havo teen perfected.
They comprise printers, carpenters, plumber5,
brick .masOns, stOne'mRsOns, painters, plaster
ers, hurse.shoers sadIlsIs, cigar maker mold g.
ers, BARRIERS walters, cooks, blacksmthj, Cabi-
nGt.makcls, locomotive engineers, aud fire.
men.
These unions met in mass convention to-
night aud took stops to organize a Trades As
sonlhiy, which, it is claimed, will constitute
u voting strength Of 900 aud commercial
patronage of Sl2j, 600. IL IL believed by tho
leaders ur the movement that the cOnsulidd-
ton of the working classes bids fair to play
strong part Ia tho politics Of Denver aud the
entire State. The steps takon tonight in
consolidating these different trades Is caused
directly by tho recent action of two Of the
newspapers in reducing the price OF compost
tiOn.
During December the local Typographical
Union advanced its schedule Of prices from
forty to forty -hvO cents per thousand for night
work, aud made corresponding advances in all
tho branches Of tho trRdO. The advance was
by tho propretors. Some two weeks ago, tho
E,eaing Times demanded Il reduction on the
part Of its workmen to old prices. This they
declined to make, aud the Office was filed with
nOu.uniOn men,
Early in the week tho Rocky Mountain Ncr3
duplicated tho Times demand, which was ut
frst rejected, then accepted, aud again re-
jectod, tho result being that the Ne0s was
filed with printers not members of the union.
Tho meeting tonight was enthusiastic,
though orderly, and was attended by fully
l,500 people II was addressed by several
persons, including Brick Pomcroy. Among
other schemes which the workingnon have
on foot is that Of starting m afternoon papor.

lilo Printing once Ilmployes.

The employees of the Government Printing
Office who have been dockod for New Year
day have had u hearing before the Committee
on Printingin tho House, as ths Public Printer
had invoked Congressional interference in
settling the question. Tho employees urge q
long-eslabIshol usage OF the otics and tho
practice OF the Executive departments rs tho
basis of their claim, whilo the Public Printer
takes tho ground that tho law does not
authorize him to pay for services not rom
dered. The employees made thoir case as
strong as possible, and although they were re.
ceyed and treated with favorable considora-
ton, what the committee will do with the
matter has not transplred, One thing is mp.
parent--if tho payment OF the employees for
holidays is not right, it was rs wrong twenty
years ago, when the procodeat was established,
as it has been at any period since. II is a
pity, therefore, that tho wrong, if any exists,
hai not been discovered aud corrected at An
earlier day, for under a usage of such long
standing it seems to have been regarded as
law up to the commencement of the present
