LABOR MATTERS.


on Labor and Education.
New YORK. Aug PAP H. McLogan
representative of the Chicago Trades Assem-
bly, in the federation of trades and labor
unions, in session here, testified before the
Senate subcommittee on labor and educa-
ton. He said there were twenty-four trades
represented in the Trades Assembly, embrac-
ing II, 900 workingmen; that he had been
greatly benefited by trades-unions, and was
now receiving dollar day more than before
the formation of unions in Chicago. The
wages of compositors were lower than they
were ten or twelve years ago, Witness was
opposed to the convict-labor contract sys-
tenn. In Chicago mum Der of children are at
work, he said, who should be at school.
Higher wages tends to produce a
better and more intelligent class of
citizens, and there is general feeling among
laboring men that the capitalists are trying
to grind them down. In answer to question
by Senator Blair, witness said disbelievers in
the evangelical faith largely outnumbered
the believers
NJ D. Connolly, printer, president of the
Trades Assembly of Cincinnati testified.
He spoke against the employment of chill
dren of tender years Trades unions bene-
fitted not only their members but all en-
gagged in them. Witness did not think it an
infringement upon the rights of any one for
trades-union to prevent him from learning
trade. If all were permitted to learn GER
tain trade, the result would be highly injuri-
GUS to every one working at it.
William e. Polliner of Cleveland cigar
maker, testified. In 1880 the cigar makers of
Cleveland were getting from So to 81 week
A union was organized, and wages raised to
an average of SO week. Pollmer did not
think it for the interests of morality that
men and women should work together in the
same shop and the trades-unions are now
endeavoring to bring about reform in that
respect The hours of labor should be re-
duced, and the workman should receive the
whole of the increased value OF the product
of his labor, deducting from it only the cost
of the raw material and fair interest on
the capital invested.
Only one witness was examined at the after
noon session. Brock, a Washington printer
and president of the federation OF trades
unions in that city, Brock testified at
length as to the evils resulting to the labor
ing class from the custom of watering stocks
by railroad and other corporations The
pool system, as in operation in the case of
trunk lines, he regarded as a robbery of the
people on a gigantic scale. He advocated
strongly the remedy of this evil by legisla-
ton and the imposition of progressive
income tax which should make it impossible
for a man to have larger income than
$50, 600 a year. The eight-hour law, he
thought, should be stringently enforced and
the protective tariff abolished.

Condition of the Corn Crop I'm the Northern
Part of the State.
OTTAWA, Aug. 24,-Many complaints are
being made by farmers throughout this Sec
ton that corn is not doing. as well as they
had reason to believe it would two or three
weeks ago. Particularly is this true of corn
grown of seed brought from Kansas, Mis-
souri,, and southern Nebraska. The stalks
are thrifty, and in general appearance the
stand is excellent, but upon exami alton
earring is fully three weeks behind the sea-
son, and it will require until the middle of
October at least before the crop will be safe
from frests. So far the ears are Just silking
Native corn and Nebraska seed are doing
finely, but it is difficult to determine the
prospective average, owing to the uncertain
ty OF froSts in this latitude Rain is needed
badly. Two days ago a slight shower visited
this section, the first since the heavy rain of
a month ago, which did so much damage to
railroads, crops, and habitations along the
river banks.

Frost at Champaign Depresses Farmers.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CHAMPAIGN, Aug. 4.-Considerable frost
fell in this region on low grounds last night
the first of the season. This creates much
concegn for the corn crop, and most growers
have abandoned hope of having even one
third crop of sound corn. A large part of
the corn in this section has barely silked out,
and is not yet in roasting-ear state. The out
look in this respect is exceedingly discour-
aging now. The few warm days the first of
this week gave fresh hopes, which now APP
pear to be frustrated.

Dear Sir-I have your letter. The story that |
ever paid any money to secure the nomination OF
Stanley Matthews, any one else, TO the SUI
prene bench Is a pure fabrication. I had no
bargain nor understanding with General Gar
field OF any sort, directly indirectly. My &C.
quaintance with Mr.. Matthews was not intimate.
Indeed, now that write, remember that il was
at your own personal solicitation after his NOM
nation, that asked Mr.. Plumb, by an open tele-
gram, to aid, If consistent, in his continuation.
Mr.. Matthews was never my counsel; indeed, he
was a friend, if not also counsel, for the Texas
& Pacific, then controlled by Thomas A. Scott,
and which was at that time hostile interest to
those in which was interested Yours truly,
