Things have settled down since

1t is said that campaign lies don't

of New Jersey, among the iron workers
and coal miners here ana there, one
trade after another. Tens of thousands
are asking. what shall we do? Where
can we go ?" But no one can tell.
From every trade in this city yes.er-
day, the report was the same, and dull
ness" is the word in all. Not few cut.
downs, quietly carried out, were announ-
ced but some of the men can hardly be
got to report them, for fear of their in
fuence in increasing the evil. In those
trades which have strong Unions and
a regular scale of prices, there has been
no cut, and any attempt in that dlrec-
ton is sure to be resisted by snch
trades.
The clothing cutters have begun to
feel the pressure of the season. The
prison contract system Is telling upon.
the tailoring trade more than ever. The
contractor for prison clothing has re-
Gently bursted, and state prison Super
intendent Baker has come to the New
York market and bought $4,000 worth
Of cloth, and is putting 450 prisoners to
work at tailoring directly under his own
management, on account of the State.
These prison made goods are marketed
in all directions, and the honest tailors
of the country are forced to compete
with an imprisoned horde of conyicts.
The organization known as the manu-
featuring Tailors' Uuion," which was an
ofshoot from the Custom Tailors'' Uuion,
has gone under.
The cigar manufacturers are in a
panic over the projected treaty with
Spain for the lowering of the duty on
manufactured tobacco, and the employ.
ers, who are apprehensive Of its results,
are reducing their force. The single
firm of Straiton & Storm discharged
$500 hands last week.
1t was yesterday proposed by several
delegates in the Central Labor Union
that there should be Hunger Demon
stration" of the unemployed of this city
at an early date, after the example OF
the Chicago procession on Thanksgiving
day
The Bricklayers, committee, who
managed the slogging match here for
the benefit of the Hooking Valley
miners, are going to Boston to get up
similar exhibition there for the same
purpose. .y.,
Among the clothing cutters, as well
as in other trades, the eight hour ques,
ton is much talked Of 1t is'the only
suggestion yet made to remedy the pre-,
vailing idleness.
The Central Labor Union has resolved
to give one hour every Sunday to debate
upon the proprety of special political
| action by the working classes.

Cincinnati, Dec. 10, 1884. There is
noticeable Improvement in some trades
that were PROSTATE a week or two ago,
but the improvement is not of acharacter
that warrants one IN boasting to any
great extent. This does not include
printing, which Is growing worse with
each succeeding day, nor mouldlng,
either stove plate Or machinery, as the
number of unemployed in these trades
are daily being augmented. The shoes
makers are not encouraged by the pres
ent outlook, as new recruits to the army
OF unemployed in that trade make their
appearance every day. The building
trades. with the exception of the carpen.
ters are doing next to nothing, but this
ls expected at this season of the year.
Carpenters Union No, 2 of the
brotherhood, held the. last open meet
ing of the season Last Sunday, which
was well attended. These open meet
lngs have been the means of increasing
the membership of No. 2. The report
from the carpentersi is to the effect that
the non-union carpenters have had to
submit to reduction of 25 per cent. in
wages, in addition to numbers of them.

union are all employed, or nearly so.
with no reduction in their pay. I,
The capitalistic associated press sent
a report from here last week stating that
the Hooking Valley strike was virtually
&C an end, as large numbers Of the
miners had returned to work. This I
can positively contradict, as there ar
rived in this city, Monday, Decembe
15,sa committee from the miners Of
Hooking county, who state that but
about fifteen in all have retnrned to
work in their section since the strike
began. e
AS an ample supply of coal has ar
rived during the present rise in the
Ohio river, the rolling mill men antici-
pate plenty Of work. The millsare now

ROCHESTER,. Dec. 17.-There is a
scheme on foot among some of our large
manufacturers to build factories in
neighhoring towns and remove all their
machinery from this place, hoping there
by to secure cheaper labor and to be
able to antagonize trades unionlsm with
impunity. How this scheme will work
yet remains to be SEEN Developments
are awaited with much anxiety by labor
ing people.
One of our cigar dealers has plan
on foot by which he can secure union
labels and place them on scab cigars,
and he has already offered these articles
fer sale in this city. The cigarmakers'
union will undoubtedly get on to this

efectually.

ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 18.-There is consider
able activity among labor circles over
the prospective legislation this winter at
the state capital. Several bills are In
course Of preparation by committees
from the greenback labor party, the
Trades assembly and the Knights of
Labor, besides few bills by individuals
which may be considered as bearing on
the labor question. The committee from
the Knights of Labor and the Trades
assembly are to act in conjunction, and
it is understood they will concentrate all
their efforts towards the passage of the
bills prohibiting child labor and for the
repeal of the convict contract labor law,
even If the others should fail. Several
of the manufacturers have interested
themselves in the latter bill, and it %
almost certain to pass.
All the great furnaces and mills at
Carondelet are silent, and there ia con-
siderable suffering in. that part of the
city in consequence. Thousands have
left there already, and business is almost
at standstill. The storekeepers are in
despair, as they depended almost ex-
clusively on the trade Of the working
men employed in the mills. Thousands
of men are idle in the streets of St.
Louis and the Municipal assembly is dis
cnssing measure for relieving the desti-
titute and furnishing work during the
winter.

Most of the trades are on short time

have also suffered from thiscause, though
their wages have not been high at any
time on account Of their lack of organi-
