ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The Board of
Directors appointed by the Central Com
mittee Gu Labor Legislation, organized by
authority of the last Congress OF the
National Labor Union, subject to the
organized Trade Unions and to assemblies
Of labor of the United States, has issued
a manifesto, headed with the stirring call,
ITO Your Tents, O Israel" The mani
festo d%enounces q majority Of the Senate
as lawyers retained by federated capitsl-
lists. 1t demands an extra session of Con
gress. as a remedy for impending strikes,
and advises all wage workmen to join the
Trade Unions or Knights OF Labor and
present an unbrokeu front. The mani
festo denounces the abrupt suspension OF
the Senate investigation OF the relations
between capital n labor, and says that 1t
is inimical to the interests OF wage work
ers, and convinces the Board OF Directors
of the insincerity and hollow hypocrisy Of
the professions of a majority OF the Sen
ators. The complete subjection of our
legislators to the moneyed power was
never more clearly demonstrated than by
the recent tariff legislation Of the Forty
seventh Congress, which threatens to re-
suit in an immediate and distressing
reduction in wages in many oil the great
manufacturing establishments in the coun-
try. The attempt will naturally lead to
strikes, and consequent misery and want.
Possibly ruin and disorder will ensue, and
the blame will be sought, as usual, to be
attached to the poor workmen, instead Of
the gay and festive liars, hypocrites, jug
glers and public plunderers who basely
abuse the power repOsed in them by a
confding people. The Psslm'stsaid. "Ali
men Of high degree are liars" and if he
lived in Washington to-day he would re-
peat the assertion, with our supplementary
attachments. Human agencies have uu-
doubtedly devised schemes BY which a few
have enslaved many, and human beings
must rectify the wrongs. We should not
continue to look into the clouds Of heaven,
like ignorant ours, fpr dellverancc from
our oppressors, but to one another. Fed
| Grated drones must be counter-vailed by
federated laborers, demanding as with one
voice immediate reform. Whatever we
DO, however, should be done peaccably if
possible, and in accordance with the law.
Diaz to Visit Washington.
WASHINGTON, March l3.-Hon. J. W.
Forster, Minister to Spain, will proceed to
St. Louis, and request the President to
meet ex-President Diaz, who expects to
reach that city on Friday next, and invite
him in the name of President Arthur to
visit Washington. D!az has already re-
ceived informal notice of this matter. 1t
is understood that he will accept the invi-
fafipn IT ia Ekely the MARTY will 90 first
by invitation, to Chicago, where it is I'M
derstood there will be a reception rendered
by those 30 pleasantly received in Mexico
from that city last year. Considerable
importance is attached to this visit, in
view Of his very friendly feeling for the
United States, coupled with the fact that
it seems to be conceded in Mexico that he
will next year be again elected President.
He is strongly committed to all the plans
for commercial development depending on
the extension of railroad lines. His recep-
ton here will be Of the most cordial char
acter.
