LABOR MATTERS.


The Convention of Amalgamated Iron and

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1O.-The convention of
iron and steel workers received word that q
small body of strikers at the Bessemer works,
Bethlehem, who broke yesterday, and started
one blast furnace, shut down again to-day, and
are now firmer than since the day they first
went out. The announcement was received
with cheers, and resolution indorsng their
action ana extending help and encouragement
passed forthwith Nearly all of the committees
have concluded their work, but the result of
their deliberations will not be known till Mon
day. The most rigid secrecy in regard to the
proceedings Is still observed; the report that
many delegates are in favor of holding sessions
publicly is denied. The committee intrusted
with the discussion of the presidents report
attest its unqualified approval of the following
points in the annual address to the convention
on Wednesday. Touching the tariff question:
this second address reads: "under a repub-
lican form OF government high wages
conduee TO the moral and social welfare OF the
worklngman.- We believe the protection of
labor as the producer of all wealth, and consider
it the frat duty of the government to adjust all
questions to the ultimate protection of working
men. We are protectionistsf from the standpoint
that labor should be protected, or that labor, as
a producer of wealth, when protected, will GER
tainly entail protection to capital. We also be-
lieve in protection 10 our industries. because We
are large consumers Of both manufactured and
agricultural products; hence our position in
wolves better prices to the farmer. When we
manufacture at home we increase the wealth of
the nation to the extent of the value of the pro-
ductions, but when we import from other coun-
tries, as labor is the producer of all wealth, we

WILLIAM PENIS COTTAGE.
An Old Landmark of Philadelphia Given {

Philadelphia Press.
After undergoing a varied experience in
Letitia street during the past 200 years, the
old dwelling of William Penn has found a
quiet, beautiful and permanent resting
place During the b-centennial celebration,
last fall, attention was called to the fact that
the house of the founder of Pennsylvania

provement and leave no trace behind

frontage of twenty feet, and a depth of

The other room on the first floor was used as
the kitchen. The old house had board floor
