At its last regular meeting, held last
Sunday afternoon, the Trades Assembly
of this city passed resolutions boycotting
the Buffalo shoe stores, and also the
brands of cigars made by Steffen, OF
Indianapolis.
The Buffalo shoe stores are being boy
cotted all oyer the United States (they
have something like twenty different
stores) because Of the fact that their
goods are made by conYicts, instead o1
by honest labor.
The Cigarmakers' union and other
labor organizations of Indianapolis are
boycotting Steffen's cigars because he
will not pay union prices to his employees
The brands are the Bonanza" a ten.
cent cigar and five other brands OF FIVE
centers, as follows: Steamboat, "Yawl,
pilot" Bull Dog" and "Seal of Indi'
ana" None of them are union label, but

A Santa Fe Circular,

The following circular, addressed to
the company's employees and their cred
itors, has been issued by the Atchisun,
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad:
'This company pays all its employees
with promptness, and those who credit
them should collect their own bills and
not rely upon the aid of the company,
through the troublesome and exp 7nsive
medium of garnishment, to defeat the
spirit of the law exempting the wages of
employees. 1t is believed that the inter-
est Of employees, and of merchants and
others dealing with them, will be best
subserved by bringing their mutual
business to a strictly cash basis. The
employees of this company are expected,
so far as practicable, to promptly pay
their honest debts, and failure to do so
will be good cause for discharge, unless
satisfactory reasons can be given for such
failure to the chief of the employees who
may be delinquent. Notice is hereby
given that after the first day of july
1884, all garnishments seeking to subject
the wages of employees of this, company
will be resisted by all legal methods, and
to this end all employees effected by such
proceedings will be expected to avail
themselves of the exemption laws of the
state or territory where such garnish'
ments shall be commenced"

Seven Hundred Italians IN Denver
Must Have One d the Other,
Or Statve.

The Italians of Denver, numbering
about 700 men. held q public meeting at
Seyenteeth and Williams street, Thurs
day night, for the purpose of taking
some action relative to obtaining employ
ment for the large number Of Italian
laborers in the city out of work. The
Italians say they do.not appeal for public
charity, but merely ask the railroad
companies to advance them transporta-
ton, which they are willing to have de-
Quoted from the first wages earned by
them in their new field of labor.
Resolutions were adopted embracing
the main facts of their suffering and
starving condition, and calling upon the
governor and board of county commits
sioners to aid the destitute men in get
ting to a point where they can get work.
The Italians claim that they can find
employment on the Canadian Pacific
railway, but the contractors will not ad-
vance them the money with which to
travel, and consequently they are unable
to 60. The contractors say they will
carry them to the Canadian Pacific for
$26 each, and then give them work; that
is the best they can do. This is the
sticking point with the Italians. They
offer the contractors their first months
wages for their transportation, but the
contractors are wary and will not enter
tain the proposition. To send 500 of the
men to the Canadian Pacific, at $26 per
he ad, will cost $4,000 pretty large
sum to be raised by charity.
On the other hand, the Italians say if
they could get to eastern points they
could get work. Anything to get out of
Denver is their motto.

In this place the men work twelve

LOUISVILLE, Colo, June 9.-On May Is,
the Union Pacific company served a
notice on the miners at this mine, that
the price for mining coal would be re-
duced from 80 cents to rs cents per ton,
the change to take effect June l. The
miners consulted among themselves and
made up their minds that they would
not have it that way, and accordingly
notified the company that they would
not work. However, no further action
was taken until yesterday, wi hen second
proposition was made by the company
in which the miners are to receive the
old price per ton, but small reduction
for driving cross-cuts has been made,
which will not materially effect the
mems wages, and they have signed the
contract; thus the matter is settled.
The Union Pacific company have re-
duced the wages at this mine year after
year, until the men feel that the bottom
is reached.
