THE BETHLEHEM TROUBLE.
The convention received word that the
small bodies 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 announce
ment was received with cheers, and reso-
luton endorsing their action and extend.
ing help and encouragement was passed
forthwith, and ordered to be sent to the
Bethlehem lodge.
Nearly all Of the committees have con-
cluded 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 and the
report that many delegates favored holding
sessions publicly is denied. The commit
tee entrusted with the discussion Of the
President'sreport attested i,sunqualified rp.
pIoval oflhe following points in Jarrett'san.
nual address to the Convention We lnesday
touching the tariff question. ''' 2
SoTID FOR TARIFF.
This section OF the address reads: "Under
a Republican form OF government high
wages conduce to the moral and social well
fare Of workingmen. We believe in the pro,
lection Of labor as the producer Of all
wealth and consider it the first duty Of the
government to adjust all questions to the
ultimate protection OF the workingmen.
We are protectionists from the standpoint
that labor should be protected, or that
labor as the producer OF wealth when pro-
tected, will certainly entail protection to
capital. We also bslieye in protection to
our industrieg, because we are large con-
sumers OF both manufactured aud agricul-
tural products, hence our position involves
better prices to the farmer"
f A LITTLE REASONING.
When We manufacture at home we in
crease the wealth Of the Nation to the ex-
tent Of the value Of our productions, but
when We import from other countries, as
labor is the producer Of all wealth, we Ger.
tainly impoverish ouraown country to the
extent that We purchase from abroad.
1t is sstated that the Committee on Claims
will present largely negative report, as
association has in another branch Of its
work in convention committed itself 10 n
policy OF repudiating demands pending on
account OF the strike OF 1882.
