[By Associated Labor Press.
New YORK, Sept. 4.-The great parade
ofthe Grand Army of the Industrial Re-
public1 over, and never has .here been
finer array of organized labor in this
city, twenty thousand wage-workers
being in line. The weather was simply
perfect. Hundreds of thousands of spec
tators lined the sidewalks and occupied
the windows all along the route, and the
salient features of the procession were
heartily cheered. The typos were accor-
ded the right of line, and right calamity
did they acquit themselves. Over two
thousand of the members of No. 6, Brook
lyn, No. SO, the German union and asso-
ciated trades, turned out. The Seventy
Foolish Printers" followed the band and
Some of their Friends" marched behind
them. The chapels of the daily papers
some of the weeklies, and the principal
book offices, marched with their own
banners. The printers were followed by
the brlcklayers and all the building
trades, the bricklaYers all wearing white
aprons. At the head of the Second Di-
vision were the colored men, and all along
the line they were heartily cheered
Following them were the Cigarmakers
Progressive union, numbering at least
2 600, and they had two trucks on which
they manufactured cigars. The packing
box makers, (at the head was Geo. Blair)
turned out with seven trucks, on which
they made boxes. The Easte rn Jour
neymen Butchers turned out about 1000
men in jumpers" and caps. They had
several trucks with ANIMALS in the parade.
The Clothing Cutters made a fine show,
as did also the Horse-shoers. The print
ters distributed banners throughout the
procession. on which was the advice to
Boycott the Tribune. The parade was
reviewed by John Swinton, Robt. Bliss
ert, Louis F. Post and other we'll known
advocates of organized labor. Tonight
there will be speeches at the picnic
grounds, to which most of the unionists
wended their way. Take it all in all,
we haye much to be proud of in this dis
play of the unions associated with the
Central Labor union.
We noticed the red ribbon over many
of the union badges, and those who wore
it were invariably the advanced men in
the present onward movement.
Nothing new in the bricklayers' strike,
excepting that one of the largest en-
ployers of labor gave way on Saturday.
Thus lone by one, the roses fall"
The squabble between two factions of
a picayane trade has caused disruption
of the Building Trades Central Council,
but we are promised a stronger organi-
zation in the near future. IL
The general trade is dull-very dull.

[By Associated Labor Press.
PITTsBURG, Sept. preparations are be-
ing made here for big labor demonstration
to protest against the conspiracy laws of
Pennsylvania that allow bosses to arrest
their employees and throw them into jail
when they are not infracting the
peace of the community or doing injury
to any one. III the meeting is held, of which
there is little doubt, Benjamin F. Butler will
be invited to make the leading speech. He
is coming to Pittsburgh during his canvass,
and has been retained to defend the eighty
miners in jail in Washington county, charged
with conspiracy, etc. Under the bold leader
ship Of a man like him, public feeling will be
aroused and an effort made at the coming
session of the Legislature to amend the un-
just conspiracy laws.
The river strike continues, but so far Opera
tor Neel has not succeeded in enlisting the
sheriff In his dirty work. His arrests have
all been made by half dozen cqpstables, all
of whom have regulations for just such work.
There is talk of ''raid'' on the miners
camp, but the minions had better not try
that. Lately the strikers have been using
skiffs to reach the miners at work. They
have the full sympathy OF the farmers in the
neighborhood, who at an indignation meeting
held Saturday, passed the following:
Resolved, That we denounce the indis-
cIiminate arrest of miners as being unne-
cessary, injudicious and incurring needless
expense upon the taxpayers of Washington
county. -. f.
Another big indignation meeting will be
held next Saturday.
So far President Costello, of the miners,
has been arrested six times, and Secretary
Fladnery once. Meanwhile the miners are
silent and 5000 men remain idle.
Our best men attended the Knights OF
Labor general assembly meeting this week.
The iron mills are working more regularly.
The trouble continues at Beaver Falls, but
the men thrown into Jail there for conspir-
acy (?) have been liberated.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company laid
off goodly number of men on Monday.
They expect better trade in the fall
The molder's strike is still on without
change.
The working people of this vicinity are
anxious that the president make up his mind |
about the labor commissionership. Enough |
time has been wasted. - ~
Politics are becoming hyelier. A good
will shortly be ,inaugurated in
Buffers interests, #s. II

AT THE GRAND.


"Orpheus and Eurydice" at the opera
house during the week, has proved as
announced; grand scenery, magnificent
costumes, accompanied with a splendid
array of ,well-made females. There is no
doubt that the prevailing hard times is
the only reason that the house was not
crowded beyondits capacity.
This company has been engaged for
nextweek at the Grand, when "Pinafore"
and Patience" will be put on. -..ss

This week, the rendition of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" if one may judge from the
applause and attendance at each even
ing's performance, was a grand success.
The two Marks Eva" Miss Sallie
Partington's 'Topsy"p and the blood
hounds are good. The scenery, especially
the winter scene of Eliza" crossing the
floating ice during heavy fall of snow,
is first-class. Many of our citizens pro-
nounce their evenings spent at this pop.
ular place of amusement, during the
week, the most enjoyable Of the season.

WAsAnerox, Sept. Airs well! I"
i the cheer I send my comrades in the
labor cause this week. What there is Of
labor interest in this city is in good
shape, and it Is my pleasant duty to re-
port not less than two victories which
were achieved the past week. One is
the amlcable settlement Of the trouble
between Ward, tho milkman, and the
carpenters, and tho other the consent of
Eiseman Bros. q large clothing firm, to
employ only union labor hereafter Both
successes were achieved by hearty co.
operation Of all workingmen to carry the
point. This was the secret of our victory
over the Post last spring, and this is all
that is needed whenever point is to be
carried. Just to give proof how FASH
ionable sfunion" workmen have become,
it is no longer subject of remark to
read advertisements like that of w. B.
Moses. our great furniture man, who is
putting up q 100000 palace of trade.
He advertises in the Star for num-
ber of plasterers -"none but nnion men
need apply !" God speed the day when
this becomes the universal rule.
Chris Heinrich, our most prominent
brewer, had little unpleasantness with
the timers two summers ago.. OF course
he was boycotted and equally of course
we "downed" him; and Chris surren-
dered gracefully. And now, when he is
reconstructing that historic hostelry, the
old Washington house. he gives public
notice that. he will have none but union
men.
There is some misunderstanding with
the, contractors who are erecting the new
Light Infantry armory, lin the light of
recent events believe they will find it
expedient to come out flat-footed for the
union. If they do not, it will be simply
ruin for the lessee of the theater which
is to be conducted in the building.
Work generally is good. The excep-
tions are the tallors and printers. The
Record force at the Government Printing
office was laid off few days ago until
December. AUGUST DoNATH.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 4-This city is now
almost devoid Of fresh labor news out
side of convict business. According to
the latest word from Central City the
miners were to go to work to-day, and
the news from Ohio has filed the city
with vague rumors from that point, but
up to this writing there is nothing known
more than is given by the dispatches.
The Trades Assembly met yesterday in
executive session and of course it Is Sc
cret, but this much lean say. q com.
mittee will visit the coal mines to sinves-
tigate matters, Until the next meeting
of the assembly everything must remain
veiled in secrecy
All trades are busy at present on full
time, but as fspoke in, my last of some-
thing interesting for this week, | will
have to wait until next week.
The window department of the New
Albany glass works started up to-day
giving work to about 100 men.

eers' association, P. NJ. Arthur, Of Cleve-

simply to show what was the state of feeling that
existed everywhere twenty-five or thirty years ago;

sweeps through the desert, scorching and blasting

or Phillips he said: He confronted the spirit OF

obstacles. That was his function In literature

elOquence was penetrating and alarming; he did not
