GEORGE G. SToLL, editor Of the Cleve-
land Messenger, publishes in his last
issue lengthy article addressed " to the
Labor Press" explanatory of the trouble
which has for some time existed between
himself and the publishers of the Cleve-
land Labor Star. It appears that the
attack made by the Star on the Journey
man Builder grew out of this difficulty.
and it also appears that the personal
animosity of the Star man has induced
him to malign and yillify Mr.. stolls The
article in the Messenger is clear and
concise statement of the whole. trouble,
and bears the marks of perfect trnthful-
ness, and it certainly places the Star in
an unenviable light before the laboring
men. Mr.. Stoll has had hard struggle
in publishing his ,paper, and certainly
deserves the utmost friendship and sup
port of all true friends Of the cause. 1
have had an experience similar to your
own Brother Stoll, and know just how
you feel. I am glad to see you are able
to cope with your adversary and have
the nerve to "speak out in meeting" when
it is necessary.

The plugs" who are now attempting
to handle the business of the Western
Union Telegraph company should be
relegated to blacksmithing, to toadying.
or other congenial callings, and men
who can do the work efficiently be en-
ployed, at living salaries to take their
places. The employees of the Western
Union are paid starvation wages. They
are pinched in order that a greedy,
grasping monopoly, that has watered it's
stock to the extent of IS per cent may
pay dividends. The convenience of the
public is never considered. Yet thereis
no corporation in the world that stands
in need of skilled labor so much. Every
hour of the present service is engender-
ing feeling Of the necessity Of absolute
competition in telegraphy. The laborer
is worthy his hire. No people work
harder than the telegraphers. They are
honest, loyal and true. They deserve all
they ask and should receive it, no matter ]. I

emergency spoken Of, it hardly seems
that the governments case would be
safe in his hands. Wayne MacVeagh,
Brewster's predecessor, was attorney for
the Pennsylvania railroad, and it would
be pretty hard to find high official Of
the government who does not belong to
one Of the powerful corporations or owe
his appointment to their influence.
Monopolistic corporations own and con-
troll the state and church, and the title
will expire only with the proprietor.
The people are the executioners. How
long will they stay the death-blow?

The Rochester Lockout.

The struggle between labor and mis-
used capital, which centers as Rochester
is unchanged. The cigarette girls locked
out by Kimball & Co., are still out, and
will remain so until the firm concede
them a few rights and reasonably fair
compensation for their labors. The boy
'cotting of Kimball's goods must be kept
up unwaveringly.
The following are the standard brands
made by Kimball, and which it is to be
hoped the workingmen of Denver will
thoroughly boycott:
Cigarettes es-Three Kings, Vanity Fair,
Fragrant Vanity Fair.
Chewing Tobacco-Peerless, Honey
Dew, Honevsuckle. Hero.
Smoking Tobacco-Vanity Fair. Fra

Mr.. Arthur. the head of the Brother
hood of locomotive engineers, is reported
as saying that the strikes among the tel
egraphers and other workingmen have
no particular interest for the engineers
that they are perfectly satisfied with
their condition and, although. frequently
solicited to affiliate with other labor Or
ganizations, have always padded their
own canoe and therein is their strength" F"
We are too well aware that reports com
ing through the channel this does, are
not always to be depended upon, and
that any action based thereon. would be
apt to do injustice. We will only say at
this time that if Mr.. Arthur is correctly
reported, and if he correctly represents
the position of his organization, then the
engineers have wondrous short mem
ory; and that when their turn comes, as
come it will, they will find that the Or
ganized labor of this country can get
along as well without the cooperation of
the engineers as the engineers can with
out the assistance of their fellow-workers

RENDERING ESTABLISHMENT.
One More Enterprise Successfully
Carried on in Mineral Point.

On Tuesday last a reporter of The
Democrat visited the Rendering estab
lishment of John Hadfield, near the
depot in this city. The building is a
two story frame, 1Sx32 feet, with large
boiler, Gate City Steam Generator No.
~ on the first floor, and a large tank,
capacity 500 gallons, reaching from the
first floor up through to the second
floor of the building, where it is 'load-
ed" or filled with rough tallow, for
rendering. About ton of tallow is
usually placed in the tank at time,
when the steam arrangements from
the boiler are attached to the tank and
the rendering process begins. Mr..
Hadfield informed the Democrat man
that he can render three tanks of tai
low per week. being from twelve
hundred to fifteen hundred gallons.
The work of the establishment is not
confined to the rendering of tallow
alone, but to the obtaining of meats
foot oil by boiling the feet of slaugh-
tered oxen, cows and calves; and to
the calcining OF bones
Mr.. Hadfield feels confident that the
enterprise will prove q paying one
He buys rough tallow, butchers bones,
dry bones and animals feet, and bones
of all kinds. He intends to keep the
establishment running to its full ca
pacity. Small boys may be seen with
wheelbarrows full of bones going to
Mr. Hadfield's ware house or to the
rendering establishment. These bones
are shipped by the car load to be used
for fertilizing purposes. The rough
tallow is obtained from our butchers
here and from neighboring towns.
Mr. Hadfield has invested quite a
Il sum of money in the lot, building
and fixtures, and is entitled to credit
for the enterprise which he has shown
ia furnishing market at home for all
the surplus tallow, and bones within a
radius of twenty or thirty miles.
