"The threatened trouble at the St. Louis
Ore and Steel companY's Vulcan works,
of this city, are believed to be adjusted.
The superintendent has issued Motif
cation, fixing the rates to be paid for
work after January l as follows: For all
tonnage labor 81 per cent of the present
rates; for all mechanical labor S5 to 80
per cent of the present rates, according
to the class of work. For all work known
as extra labor IS per cent of the present
rates. No changes have been made in
the prices paid for work classed as com.
mon or day labor. The men have init
mated that they will accept the reduc
ton, so the Vulcan works will not BE
closed.
"The rolling strike at the Laclede roll,
ing mills was terminated to-day by the
men agreeing to return to work at the
prices fixed by the owners. The pro,
prietors welcomed them back and the

Publishers and Printers,

From the Labor World.
The book publishers of Philadelphia, by
resolution, recently requested the compost,
ors of this city to petition congress against
reduction of duties on foreign books. This
action is indicative Of a broader, spirit. OF
unity than has heretofore existed. 1t virtually
says to the compositors: 1--WE recognize you
as men whose interests are with us; We ap'
preciate your help and your influence; with
out your aid our effort might fail"
The printers can do no better than to
respond to this friendly request, and aid the
book publishers as requested 1t may lead to
other friendly co-workings hereafter: Other
employers might take like action with
excellent results. Employers should aim to
develop friendly sentiments and relations
among and with the workmen. The iron and
steel manufacturers, the thread manufac-
turers, the textile manufacturers, and manu-.
tacturers of other products, all fear the effects
OF the threatened reduction. Then why not
ask the workmen in all their branches to
petition congress against reduction OF
duties. Congress would pay more attention
to petition of 100000 workmen than they
would to 1000 empl ,yers. because they think
employers may be sctuated with selfish
motives, and on the other hand, congress
would respect the request of OO.oO0 voters.
The tact is, if the threatened reduction takes
place wages will be reduced in all industries
affected.

Colorado Coal Mines.

The coal mines at Starkville, five miles
above Trinidad, on the Atchison, Topeka
4 Santa, Fe railway, has turned out in
the past year about 100000 tons of coal,
which has been sent mostly to the south
and west. The value at the depot is 50
per ton. At the same point forty coke
ovens are running and these have pro-
duced about 225 tons of coke, worth $3.50
which has been entwholly into Arizona.
They have not been able to fill all their
orders for either coal or coke. The mines
at Eagle will have shipped about 100000
tons of coal, worth about the same as
above, at Ell Moro, and about $4,000 tons
of coke, worth at ElMoro $3.50 per ton.
Chappell & Johns mine, south of town,
has turned out 10000 tons, used in part
in manufacturing in town in the; gas and
water words, grindstone cutting and
stone saving machines. Q
The Labor enquirer., 1882-12-30
Avoid Prejudice.

From the Age.
Itmatters not what a man believes.
Men believe according to their credulity.
Some believe thing because others say
it is so some believe matters that their
fathers believed. Belief is bred in them.
They never take the trouble to investi-
gate and reason. Investigation and
reason requires thought and thought is
labor, it is motion, to voluntary exertion,
SO they believe in the absurd and i'm
possible-to believe in myth and fable
and falsehood and foolishness. Some
men, however, are differently consti-
tuted. They are SO constituted as to re-
quire proof upon which to predicate be-
lief; or if not SO constituted originally,
they grow, they evolute, as it were, into
that condition of mind where only mat
tiers of demonstrable facts, will command
belief at their hands. An impartial
juror wants to hear both sides and he
weighs the evidence and reasons and
analizes till he reaches logical and a
just conclusion. But the man who
simply believes the culprit guilty wants
to hear no evidence. He rejects proof,
fact and reason and relie es solely on faith
in his belief No, no. it doesn't matter
what a man believes, but his reason for
believing and the facts and circumstances
he can bring in support of those reasons
where direct proof is impossible-these
are things that the enquirer after truth
should consider-these and these only
are the elements from which a rational
belief can be constructed.

Nail Trade Dull,

A special meeting of the Western Nail
Association. at Pittsburg, called for the
purpose of taking measures to curtail
production. in view of the stagnation OF
trade, was held yesterday. There was a
large attendance from all sections of the
west, although few mills had no repre-
sentatives. A resolution to close down
for period of thirty days was offered
and discussed at length. 1t was finally
decided to lay the resolution on the table
until today, when another meeting will
be held, at which it is expected that
every mill association will be repre-
sented.
