The Federation of Labor.

The Federation of Labor called q joint
meeting of labor unions Saturday night to
take the side of the journeymen painters in
their current contest with the Employers
Association. The Painters Union demands
an increase of days wages from $3.50 to 49,
The employers decline to give the increase
unless the .iourneymen's union guarantees
that none of its associates shall take con-
tracts for painting until six months after
quitting the union. They claim that this
action is needed to protect them from loss
on contracts. The journeymen refuse to ac-
cede to this requirement on the ground that
its effect would be to prevent
a member of the union from becoming
a master painter. Addresses were delivered
by A. NJ. KeDaday, Thomas S. Denham of
the painters, Delegate Brock Of the print
ers, Delegate Thomas of the bookbinders,
Delegate Mcnamara of the timers, Dele

complied with.

Joseph Pulitzer told me last night that the
New York World was not sold; that 1t was an
expensive concern either to buy or keep. A
large new building was put up for 1t by Gould
at great cost. Altogether the concern, though
losing money fearfully, cost 100000. Hal
stead wanted 1t. Hurlbut-I believe that is
the name, Western man, think-wanted It,
too, as q means of subsistence. Pulitzer did
not say he did not want II. AS Joseph has
more stamps than the rest-I might say the
only one with stamps-I suspect he will get 1t
ultimately. When think OF that concern, IN
which poured the veins Of my youth, riding
In the dangers of night and battle, and
which then was well.to-do and elf-support-
ing, now about TO be swallowed by a penny
paper, like a dead shark nibbled uown by
minnow, say again: "Honesty Is the best
policy" AS far as am concerned would
lust as well see men honest from policy as
from principle. When they do not profess
honesty, / suspect Thorn OF It for mere policy's
sake. II they have no policy, have to take
their principle on such acute faith that IT
scratches me. Pulitzer said that France,
corrupt from stem TO stern, published its
newspapers in the interests and ownership OF
bankers and SPECTATORS. The American peo
pie, he said, would not buy stock tobbers'
papers. Hence Gould and Field were trying
to unload. Field had told Mr.. Pulitzer that all
the ETlTtsS paper wanted was brains. Joseph
thought It did not want, at least, Field He
thought II had Field enough, but not sulficlent
career. He said he did not believe anybody
would buy Fields paper.

Nothing More than Prosecutions.

Philadelphia News, Stalwart Republican,
The statement is made that Attorney Gen.
eral Brewster strongly disapproves OF the ac-
tion OF Merrick and Bliss In procuring the In
dictment OF Kellogg. II this is true, Mr..
Brewster evidently knows what he Is talking
about. Common sense would seem to dictate
that the present interminable Star Route cases
be finished up before new prosecutions are IN
sttuted; but 1t is no doubt pleasant and
profitable business for these private counsel
for The Government to institute new proceed
handsomely for the remainder OF their lives.
When II is remembered that some half-doZen
private counsel have received $4,000 or more
each for their work In the Star Route trials
before they are finished, a strong motive can
be seen for new prosecutions. We want TO SEQ
no guilty man escape, but We scarcely favor
paying ont the entire resources of the Govern
ment to lawyers for prosecutions which, &C
cording to the Attorney-General, are nothing
more than prosecutions.
