avarlce of men who know the laborer
only to use him for profit to themsel YES.
There are rumors as to what the next
step of the company will be, and there
are grounds to fear that blow will be
struck before long. 1t is said that the
forces will be reduced twenty or thirty
per cent reports of lay-offs at Laramie
city confirm this idea) and then the
officials of the company will assume the
habilaments, of the auctieneer and sell
the jobs to the lowest bidder; thus fore
ing the men who are retained to compete
with those laid off. 1t can be easily
seen what this will lead to if the men
allow themselves to be caught in the
trap set for them.
This plan has been successfully worked
by large employers in other sections, and
1t has resulted in placing wages at the
lowest possible notch -cutting both
ways and repeating the dose. by fre-
quently changing the employed to the
idle.
Be the plan decided upon whatit may,
there is certainly storm brewing on
the Union Pacific road, and THE En-
oUIRER feels it duty to warn the men
to prepare to meet 1t. 1t can only be
met successfully in one way, and that is
by organization. Every employe on the
line-mechanic, laborer and train man
must be brought together for mutual
protection. Organizations at all points
along the road and its branches must be
perfected, and they must embrace all
grades of workers; then it must be re-
solved that no cut in any department or
of any character shall be submitted to-
Scattered or classified into exclusive de-
partments the employees can do nothing
but amalgamated and in unison with the
workers in other branches of industry
the Union Pacific corporation; with all
its power cannot force cut or resist

Men, brothers, husbands, fathers will
you prepare to meet the storm whose
clouds are fast gathering? There are
more than you who hold the situations
concerned in this affair; will you dc
your duty to yourselves, your families
and posterity? Organize, and do it al
once. There is not a moment to lose.

Convict Labor,

CARTERsvILLE, Ga, May 17.-Reports
of serious trouble come from Rising
Fawn furnace, owned largely by Senator
Brown, who is said to be discharging free
white laborers and filling their places
with negro convicts. When Captain D.
w. Grant recently sold out his lease of a
portion of the convicts Senator Brown
was one of the purchasers, and received
about seventy-five of the convicts. Hav-
ing already, under his former lease, a
sufficient force Of convicts at the Dade
coal mines, he proposed to employ his
new gang of convicts at Rising Fawn
furnace, in lieu Of free labor, upon which
he had heretofore depended. A day or
two ago notices were posted at the iron
works to the effect that in few days
the free laborers would be relieved from
employment and their places supplied
by convicts. To this brief and peremp-
tory notification the free laborers have
taken bitter exception, and they are IN
state of excited discomfort. Some OF
them are much enraged, and are said to
be counseling resistance by force to work
of supplanting them with felons. They
affirm that the discharge comes upon
them unprepared and subjects them and
their families to enforced idleness and
hardships at very critical season of the
year. They have sent protest to Sena'
tor Brown detailing their grievance and
are awaiting his reply. The men have
been informed that if they take any
steps of resistance the whole power oi
the state will be used against them

COMMISSIONERS OF LABOR.

August DOnaLQ, eulGOr OI LHe CIdl Io-
man, who has been mentioned favorably
by score or more labor papers as
candidate for the Office of commissioner of
the national bureau of labor statistics,
announces in his last issue that he does
not wish his name used any further in
that connection. He withdraws his
name because Mr.. T. V. Powderly, gen.
eral master workman of the Knights of
Labor, has consented to become a can
didate for the position, and Mr.. Donath,
in an article complimentary of Mr. Pow
derby, relinquishes all further claims.
I am glad of this, for several reasons !;
the principal of which being that the
cause of labor cannot afford to lose from
the active army of propagandists such
an efficient worker as Mr.. Donath has
been and is. He has shown himself ca
pable of accomplishing great good as an
educator, and merits the confidence of
those appreciative friends who would
urge him for position of public trust ;
but his work is not done, and the cause
cannot afford to have his time taken up
in any but the active field of education.
He is worthy of even greater reward
than that proposed, and he will have it
has it now, in the high position he oc-
cupies in the hearts of his fellow-work-
ers but he is peculiarly gifted for the
line Of work he is at present engaged
upon, and should not allow his attention
to be diverted from it.
There are other men who are peculiarly
fitted for the Office of commissioner, and
its duties would not tend to disarrange
the army of workers or cripple their
power as propagandists. We must en-
deavor each to work where he can do
the most good, and patience under
tedious and apparently unrewardedI la
Dor and trials must be made virtue.
Mr.. Powderly would make an excel
lent head for the bureau of labor statis-
tics and he could still attend to the duties
of his office as general master workman
of the Knights of Labor. Richard
Trevellick or Joseph A. Labadie would
either make competent and efficient su-
perintendents of this bureau, and there
are scores of others. But l know little
something about the work of editing a
labor paper, and l further know that
Donath's appointment to the place in
question would cause his withdrawal
from the journalistic field.
The above is written upon the hypoth'
esis that the bill constituting a bureau ot
labor statistics will pass the senate
which l still think is more than doubt
full. However, those are my ideas with
reference to accepting rewards before
the work is half completed, and will ap,
ply in other instances.
If the positions OF the gentlemen
named were reversed, should feel the
same. and have the highest admiration
for every one of them, and pride in the
grand work they have each performed

BUTLER,

mated by the greenbaCk convention.
which meets in Indianapolis on the
twenty eighth instant. Mr.. Chidester's
argument is good in some respects, and
bad IN others. He argues that it would
be calamity for the greenbackers to
elect the president this year, inasmuch
as he holds that the people are not prop
erly educated yet in the principles of the
greenback party, and he, holds further
that the-party should gain control of the
legislatures before electing their presi'
dent. -,s
1t seems to me that nothing could SO
help them to gain that control as the
election of their candidate for president
as such an election would establish the
party as one of the prominent national
organizations, and the patronage which
goes with the Office of president would
tend to greatly enhance the party's
power for future contests. If the demo,

THE report of the Cheyenne agitation
which appears in another column will be
read with considerable interest by all
those interested in the organization of
labor. The results exceeded the expec-
tations of the most sanguine, and the in
dications for the future are as promising
as the most enthusiastic could wish.
There can be little doubt as to what will
grow out of the good seed already sown
on the main line of the Union Pacific.
If men will but do their duty the day
is not very distant when the employees
of that road, one and all, will be united,
and be prepared to successfully resist the
attempts of eastern and foreign capital
lists to rob them of the small mite of
their products yet secured to them. Let
there be no sleeping on duty from this
time out. 1t is exceedingly dangerous
to fool away time or fail to take advan-
tage of every opportunity to unite the
people for the struggle which will soon
be upon us. We must prepare and the
time grows shorter and shorter.

THERE can be no question as to the
duty of State Mine Inspector Mcneil in
connection with the Boulder Valley
mine. From bis own statements, pub
lished in another column, there can be
no question as to the condition of the
mine. 1t is unsafe, and an explosion of
fire damp is liable to occur at any time.
If there is any good in the mining law
of the state, and the inspector is to be
anything but an ornament, he must have
the power to order the work on the mine
to cease at once, unless the company
which owns it will put in the necessary
apparatus to purify the air. Colorado
has had enough Of delays in this matter.
Crested Butte should be warning for
all time The blood of the victims of
that disaster is upon the hands of some
cruelty negligent person, and if there is
disaster in the Boulder Valley it will
not tend to wash them clean. The
death-trap should be made safe or walled
up at once.

ENQUIRER PRIZES!

Heretofore the publisher of this paper has
not offered premiums for subscriptions, be-
lieving that it was duty the working class
owed to itself to support its paper, without
bats or rewards; and, besides, he has not
been financially able to give anything more
than good newsy paper for the subscrip-
ton price. But there are exceptions to all
general rules, and different circumstances
Justify different lines of action.
A majority of the readers of THE En-
oUIRER know that few months since there
was started in aid of this paper what is
known as the "Relief Fund" They are also
aware that Stephen Vinot donated to that
fund a pair of lots, valued at $3.50, and five
due bills, of $40 each, which would be re-
ceiyed in part payment upon any purchases
made of lots from him. There were issued
800 tickets, at 81 each, after the style Of
rattle, to dispose of these lots; the tickets
were to be sold outright independent of
subscriptions for the paper. Nearly one
half of the tickets have been sold, and from
that source has been obtained large part Of
the funds necessary to pull the paper through
the dull season.
Now, l have hit upon plan to dispose of
the remainder of the tickets and hasten the
time of deciding who shall be the lucky
winner of the lots. 1t is this:

such a shout went up from the audi

of libel suit scared the usually va

he acquiesced at once to the request
that the reference to old Burchard
should be thereafter omitted.
