this city and deduct it from their subse-
quent earnings. Phillip Richter accepted
the offer and came here to work for the
firm. When he arrived here he learned
that they did not pay anything like the
wages paid by other shops in the city,
and did not in any particular fulfill their
promises. He refused to work upon
their terms and to be further deceived
by them, so they brought suit to recover
the amount of his fare from Kansas City
to Denver. The case was first tried be-
fore sopris, who decided against Frank
& Putnam, the evidence showing that
they had been guilty of a breach Of con-
tract. The suit was appealed to the
county court, where, on Tuesday last, the
decision of the lower court was sustained,
and Mr.. Richter once more declared the
winner & q s.
This firm of Frank & Putnam will
learn after awhile that it pays to act lik 9
men and give their workmen decent
wages, but until they do master this les
son, it would be we'll for all union men
to give them wide berth.

DENVER, Sept. 27.-Whats the matter
with the editor of the Denver Tribune /
He says that some selEappointed work
ingmen have called convention to nom
mate candidates, not for office, but tC
sell their vote to the highest bidder
Admitting the truth of his assertion, the
mean set at the head of the Tribune
ought to be the last to mention it. 1t is
not sour grapes with the Tribune but
jealousy that caused him to show his
hatred and ignorance 50 plainly against
the labor party. -
Poor fellow come in until the heavy
shower is over or your secondhand suit
will get wet, and you cannot 80 to church
Sunday and you cannot. buy anothe,
sut this winter if the labor party re,
mains IN the field. Take a friends ad,
vice, old fellow, come in and we will add
up together, then divide and keep silent
Surely, what jealous set thes journal
lists are, but we must be charitable even
to our enemies. DENIS.

Frank g. Putnam Defeated.

Tuesday, in the county court, the case
of Frank & Putnam against Philip
Richter was brought up for trial and de-
cided in favor of the defendant. The
particulars of the case are about as fol-
lows: Last spring, when the firm OF
Frank & Putnam refused to pay the bill
of prices submitted by the tailors' union,
and scabbed their shops, they were un-
able to procure workmen here, and sent
to Kansas City for them. They repre-
sented that they paid the prevailing
wages of this city and made other con-
cessions to their employees, 10 secure
the men they offered to pay their fare to

The coal miners and operators over in
Illinois are coming to their senses. On
Thursday last representatives of the
miners met with like number of oper-
ators to consider the prices paid for min
ing coal and the prices charged in the
markets. From the proceedings; of the
conference we learn that the operators
are willing to raise the price of mining
coal from one and three-fourths cents a
bushel to one and one-half cents a
bushel, and charge enough for the coal
in the.markets to give them a reasona-
BILE profit for their work and investment.
This looks like business. If all laborers
and all employers would come together,
like sensible business men, and agree
upon rules, wages, ETC., in business-l like
manner, there would be fewer strikes
and fewer idle men, fewer hungry wo-
men and children, and fewer employers
compelled to underbid competitors OF
shut up shop.-People's Advocate.
The Labor enquirer., 1883-09-29

Some of our goody-goody friends are
greatly alarmed of the consequence that
will result from the plain language used
by us in the item last week on the tele-
graphers strike. We nave but to say
that we make no hasty conclusions, and
do not say what we do not mean. We
recognize the fact that those who uphold
the present order of things in relation to
labor and its reward are our enemies,
who malign and abuse and threaten us,
and who do not scruple to use physical
force to subdue their murmuring wages
slaves. We are not of that class who, if
smote on the right cheek will turn the
left. We believe if bully hit you on
the right cheek you ought to smash him
on the nose if you can. If you are not
strong enough physically, call in the aid
of science and equalize the thing. Gun
powder and other explosives have caused
the tyrants of the world to think twice
before committing outrages upon those
whom they deemed weak. We give
elsewhere few extracts from leading
capitalistic organs, and let our thin
skinned readers paste them in their hats,
so they can remind themselves what
claw and order" people think of them,
and that they may compare our utter
ance with theirs. Those who expect that
the labor question will be settled peace
ably by political action or moral suasion
are doomed to disappointment Spec

ParnelI Wounded.

LONDON, Sept. 27-The Daily Chroni-
Gle has issued postscript stating that
there is great excitement in Dublin ow-
ing to a rumor that an Orangeman has
shot Parnell, There appears to be some
truth in the report. At any rate, it is
certain that Parnell is wounded. 1t is
stated that the bullet went through his
body. Another account says the affair
was accidental. No further details have
been received. A dispatch from county
Tyrone states that a covered car con-
tanning supposed Parnellite, was fred
into, but the occupant was not hurt.
This probably explains the rumor that
Parnell has been shot.
