Law AND LABOR.
The Glass BIOtpers' Case in the
Criminal Court.

The demurrer to the indictments
against Isaac Cline and other glass
blowers for conspiracy was argued in
the Criminal Court, of Baltimore, be.
fore Judge Phelps Wednesday. Mr.
George 81. Williams, for the defend
ants, made the opening argument. He
said that the indictment charged az
follows:
First Coant-A conspiracy 10 induce and
persuade woikmen to break contracts and
to leave Swindell st al.
Second-That Swindell G. al had made
contracts with certain workmen, and de-
PENDANTS conspired to induce them to leave
and they did leave.
Third-That they conspirod to fcrce and
compel workmen by unlawful intimidation
and by divers threats and menaces OF per-
sonul violence to break their contracts and
leave.
Fourth-That contracts at certain wages
existing they conspircd TO raise their
wages by inducing them to leave and break
their contracts.
FJh-States history of the contracts
wtA the names of workmen cOnspiring to
force higher amount of wages by induc-
ing them to break tie contract and leave,
and Trey did induce then. TO leave.
Sisth-same as fifth, adding intimidation
and divers threats and conspiracy to do
these.
SerenM-Charges conspiracy with illegal
ways and stratagems to induce to cease
and refuse to work.
Eghh-Conspiracy to persuade and en-
tice certain named parties to leave and
they did leave.
Ainh-Conspiracy by intimidation,
threats and menscss of personal violence
to compel and force to break contracts and
leave.
7enth-Conspired by intimidation to
make Gustav Cuenef leave.
Mr.. Williams said there were cer-
tain counts in the indictment unques-
tionably good, go he would address
himself to the point as to whether or
not it was criminal in workingmen in
Maryland to organize trades unions
and to entice and persuade workmen
to join them. The word "entice" had
two meanings. my son, if sinners
sntice thee, heed them not" explained
the evil sense OF the word, and for the
purposes of argument be would so deal
with it.
The first count charges conspiracy
to induce or entics workmen from
their employers. Numerous citations

ants knew Of the exist ence of tn,
contracts referred to, there is no
reason why that fact should not be
stated in direct terms, and not left
to implication, to be made out by
argument. Tho indictment beng in
part defective in that respect, that is ,
the averment Of knowledge OF the
existence Of the alleged contracts is
not direct, but argumsntive, the de-
murrsr must be sustained to the
counts founded on persuasion, viz,
the frat, second, fourth, fifth, sevsnt tn
and eighth. The other counts Icing
founded upon the charge of intimi-
dation by threats Of violence, &C..
the demurrer as to them being over

In the second indictment all the
counts are alike defective for the rea-

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

CHURCH CONFERENCE.-The an
nual session of the Baltimore Confer
epcs of the NJ. E. Church, which will
commence at Winchester, Va, on
the 7th prortmo, promises to be one
of INTEREST and Importance to the
church, as large amount of new
business will be submitted for consid-
srstion. 1t is generally thought that
no more appropriate spot could have
been selected for the assembling Of
the body, as Winchester stands among
the first regular appointments after
the organization of tho church or
December 25, 1884. Next year the
conference enters upon its one hun
dreth year. The number of mem bers
and visitors attending the approach
ing session will be something less
than two hundred, among whom will
be editors, book agents, etc., from
different parts of the country. Bish-
op H. W. Warren, Of Atlanta, Ca,
will preside, but several familiar faces
will be missed. among whom may be
mentioned Rev. Ms'srs. Baer, Barry,

Mundi.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb Z, 1888.
To the MINING JOURNAL:
The Tariff discussion still holds
sway in tbs council halls of the ma.
tion and is occasionally enlivened by
excited controversy Of partisan
character, entirely unnecessary and
superhuous and intended for bun
combe. A sho ort session of ninety days
in which all'the appropriation bills
required for the support Of the gov
ernment must be passed, is at best an
unfortunate selection for maturing
the reforms universally conceded to
be needed in the tariff and internal
revenue laws of the country. These
are subjects of transcendent impor.
tance to tie people of the United
States, and no vital interests re-
quiring more grave and wise states
msnsh!p can pos.ibiy bo considered.
AS the matter nov stands | would
not venture an opinion whether or
not tariff law will be passed at this
session or whether in case one is not
passed . speoia! session would be
convened. Kelley, of Pa, shows
grsst ability in h's management of
the tariff bill and is ably seconded by
Haskell, Of Kansas, and McKialey,
OF Ono. He mas TO contend with
powerful anita 3onists in Carlisle, of

vivacious, witty and pugnacious

A TRENTON disF of the 81
inst. states that Judge Dixon, OF the
Supreme Court OF New Jersey,
charged the jury In the case Of po-
lIceman who Lad arrested tSo persons,
that
Arrests could not be made thou, war
rants for any offanse moi actually occur
ring in the presence Uf the officer that in
nocent parties should not be arrested ana
held in cells, as witnesses, and that the
right OF search employed by every officer
against every prisoner was without the
sanction of law"
OF course, this doe3 not all apply
to the case our corporation has on
hand, but sufficiently to show that a
grave mistake was committed in tie
arrest and holding of Mr.. Rogers for
several hours without warrant. So
serious was this in the Trenton case
that Judge Dixon, in addition to the
above, said:
1t is with difficulty that can suppress
my indignation, although ask the jury to
suppress theirs; and there is no excuse for
putting such an indignity on any citizen.
The person OF the accused can
only be invaded under the plea OF extreme
necessity, and he stands innocent until his
guilt is proven, be his crime great or small.
The prosecuting party, a man
named VanBlarcom, was allowed one
hundred, dollars damages against the
officer for confinement one night, and
the Judge "warned the officials of his
judicial district that they would be
held individually responsible for every
instance in which they overstepped
the bounds of duty"

In addition to the report of the
glassworkers' case printed elsewhere
the Day of Thursdsy says upon good
authority that it piU not be tried. 1t
is evident that the manufacturers, sat
isfed with Judge Phelps decision
that it is unlawful for workmsn or
combinations Of workmen to interfere
with Others willing to work, are
afraid to 60 before jury to test the
facts. This is halfway CT doing
business, by which, while making the
monopolists master Of the situation,
the workmen are left without even a
chance to vindicats themselves.
We shall next week publish a
lengthy editorial from the Day which
sets the whole subject in its true light

consisting of Senator Blair, the chair

taking of testimony in the invsstiga-
tion which the Senate has ordered
into the relations between labor and
capital and the condition of the lab

aminsd was Mr.. Robt. D. Layton,
grand secretary of the Knights of

said $1,000 members, and having
branches all over this country and
Canada. All who are or have ever
been "wags-worksrs" are eligible for
membership, and none are excluded

testiiying two ladies entered the GEM
mittes room and listened sttentivsly
to his statement. Their presence
led Senator Blair to remark that so
far as he was concerned he desired
to have the inquiry extend to the
condition and grievances of working.

Senator George said he had the same
desire, and that he regarded that a.
a very important part of the proposed

TIE Frostbure MINING JOURNAL, while
commencing the Day for its defense OF the
rights sofworkingmen in Baltimore, Is dis
posed to complain Of this papers failure to
say anything last summer when the coal
miners were charged with conspiracy for
refusing to work below certain price.
Doss our Frostburg contemporary not re-
member tina. the Day was thon very new
paper and not familiar with the facts in
the case? We do not pretend to be pc.
culiarly the friend of labor, nor is this
paper the enemy Of capital but we do claim
to be the friend Of justice and fair play,
and when we see an attempt to set up ono
law for labor and another for capital we
protest with vigor, as we think every pa
per which believes that justice is equally
the right of rich and poor is bound to do.
In a matter we did not understand we
simply remained silent, and do not think
that atsrds just cause for complaint
Baltimore Day
The JOURNAL did not mean to
complain so much of The Days course
last summer as Of its comment upon
the singular silsnce Of the press Of
the State" concerning the issue raised
against the Glassblowers. Vividly
remembering that the treatment by
"ths press of the State" of last sum-
msr's long and provoking struggle
here was either silent" or mostly
unfriendly to the rights of the peo.
pie when not silent, it struck US as
hardly fair for the Day to expect any
thing better for the same issue, invol.
wing the interests of a much inferior
number of people in Baltimore. Be.
sides, the JOURNAL had given the
glassblowefs, struggle special stten-
ton, and Of course could not relish
the statement which included it in
the Indifferent "press of the State"

A TRUE STORY ABOUT THE
GROUND Hoa.-The fsllacy of the
superstition that the ground hog
looks for bis shadow annually on
Ember day, and that upon his look
ing depends the state of the weather
for the succeeding six weeks, was
proven on Friday last by a curious
resident of Chewsville, who secured
a specimen hog early in the season
and kept him boxed for the occasion.
Inrtead of taking up his body and
looking for his shadow on that day
his hogship continued to sleep as il
he had properly paid for his bed.
Persuasion and poking with a stick
failed to arouse him and hence it is
the residents Of Chewsville regard
the tabled powers of the ground hog
to forecast the weather, as thing
of story and not of reality.--Hagers-
