The Contests of Labor.

A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, says: "The
Knights OF Labor, which organization has
made Its influence so largely felt In Pittsburg
and all Western Pennsylvania, has gained
foothold In Cleveland and aided largely in
welding the various trades together. Its d.
rect effect in the matter OF strikes has not
made an appearance rs yet, and those who
claim to speak for II say that strikes are not
its means to the end desired, but arbitration
and compromise. As yet only few isolated
strikes have made their appearance here,
and, while they amount 10 little in Them
selves, they have been closely scrutinized as
the forerunners Of possible future trouble.
The employees OF one tool company
are out, and the strike, while not
large, has been persistent and carried
ON with 20 much feeling that police have been
compelled a. guard the men who are still at
work. The molders OF a foundry are also out,
ana collisions have occurred between the men
who have Quit work and those who are still
employed. A few men have quit at the works
OF the Cleveland RollingMill Company, which
Is the largest iron establishment In the West,
but no general movement has been expected,
The men are meeting quite often In secret ses-
sion, but IL is thought that trouble Will arise

Work. No movement has been noted among
the employees OF the Standard OIL Company.

In eonyersing ON the possibility OF extended
trouble this summer, a loading oficer OF
workingman's organization said. sThe
strikes OF which We hear SO much are no,
coming at all II avoidable, and never until
every other reasonable resource has been ex-
hausted. You have seen much published Of
late about the Knights Of Labor. You have
also seen much that has grossly misrepre,
sented this great central organization OF labor,
The Knights extend all over the United States
and cover all industrial branches. The 30
ciety has not been established 10 encourage

who Tempers- Justice with Nero,


"1s the woman Louisa Ruffan, who was con-
victed on Friday last OF petit larceny, in

"Yes, SIR" was the answer, and the neatly
dressed, modest-appearing colored woman
arose in the audience and came to the Bar.
81 have made inquiry into your case" said
the Judge. 81 had doubt of the larceny at the
time Of the trial, but the jury convicted you.
They afterward signed a petition In your be-
half. l have since received q letter from Mr..
Stevenson, at the Soldiers Home, who speaks
well of yourself and your family. have, also,
received letter from Mrs. Adams, with whom
you have worked, who gave you n most ex-
cellent reputation. The Court is disposed to
deal leniently with you, and the sentence is
that you be confined for two hours"
"How long, sirp" she inquired.
"Two hours"
The woman walked back with smiling
face, apparently relieved and happy that she
was not to be confined In prison.
She is well-behaved, and on the trial the evil
dence was weak, indeed, upon which a verdict
Of guilty was returned, and His Honor Will be
applauded for the light sentence imposed.
