the writer Of the contribution pretty
roughly hardled the South Park railroad
shops and two of the men in charge OF
that institution.
= AS was To be expected the article
caused considerable eeciten ent, and the
editor of thisSpaper Las been besieged
by employees of the Union Pacific all
this week. The opinions expressed have
been varied and, as is usually the case,
it is impossible for an outside person to
fully satisfy himself as to the real situa.
ton. However, it is not tho province of
THE ENQU1REE to express an opinion in
controversies like this; it only desires
that Justice be done, and for that reason

charges contained in the contribution in

A man who has worked in the South
Park shops for three or four years, and
who has always been considered, an
honest ana square man, and one who has
always been a strong advocate Of the
laborer's rights and of organization, came
into the office and very positively denied
the principal statements made in "a
Slave PEN" He says the South Park
shop is no worse than other institutions
of that kind, and that it is much better
than a great many others. He says the
foremen are gentlemen and treat all the
employees justly and with manly con-
sideration. This informant desired his
name used in this statemsnt, but dc
not deem it necessary to allow personali,
ties to enter into any Of these mixed
matters.
This matter of the South Park. shop
seems to be looked at from directly
opposite standpoints by different inter
ested parties, and under such circum.
stances it is difficult matter for one
occupying the position of editor of this
paper to decide just what Is the proper
thing to do. However, it is my desire to

WILLIAMSBURG, July 27.-Still nothing
doing here. yet. The men have had a
meeting in reference to the reduction
and have come to the conclusion not to
accept it. The committee received a
communication from Superintendent
Allen. He says they have no object in
mining coal, if they can't sell it. He
seems to think that he ought to have
demanded % cents per ton reduction, be-
fore he could sell and make a profit along
with the anthracite coal of Pennsylya-
mia and other mines. According to his
letter there is a good opening for this
coal ID the Missouri river country. - lii
=, Now, this thing of having to reduce
their miners every time to get in the
market after getting barred out (if such is
the case1 on purpose to put somebody
else out, is too thin, for, sombody else
will suffer by reduction to get in again.
If it is not worth an honest living, to
dig coal, say let it stay in the ground
till there is de mand for it add a living
price can be paid, and the only way to
make an article worth its honest value
is to make it scarce. ~ 81
never knew coal company to re-
duce its coal in the market but what
they reduce the miners, and they retain
the same profit as usual. Men, don't be
fooled into believing they can sell more
coal by reducing you; they cannot do it
only for short time, and then it is at
the expense of your brothers. Miners
in another part of the country, as stated
above, therefore / say resist this reduc-
ton to the .uttermost and show these
malignant ours that you are men, for if
they get this reduction on you they will
not be satisfied, as they think three.foot

coal.

First Governor Cleveland vetoed the

tions Of the state.
. Second He signed the bill reducing

interest of foreign corporations.
Third He approved the law compell-
ing working engineers to pay tax Of 81

Fourth-He vetoed the five-cent-fare
bill, q measure calculated 4 to enable
worklngmen and fheir families TO reach
the suburbs, away from the tenement
districts at all hours.
Fith-He signed the civil service bill
measure calculated to encourage only
college educated citizens to reach the
public service, thereby creating an aris-
tocracy of office holders.
Sixth-He appointed man to admin
ister the bureau of labor statistics Of the
state of New York who was an opponent

(whose influence had created the bureau)
bad desired and formulated.
seventh-He vetoed the bill limiting
car-drivers' hours of labor to twelve
hours per day, thus confessing himself
ignorant of The grave national questions
underlying theIlabor movement,
Eighth-He vetoed the mechanics

Ninth-He failed to advocate in his
message to the legislature urging prompt
and practical legislation to meet the wish
of the people expressed at the polls last
election against the system of convict
contract labor, which was declared "shall
go" by vote of 1ss, 800 majority, brought
out by the state executive committee Of
the labor Organizations, and the success
of which was largely contributed by the
members of this delegation.

of Grover Cleveland are widespread and
deep rooted among the labor organiza-

immediate constituents, the labor organ

sire he shall be free from objections and

The Printers Dream.
A printer, worn by his night Of toll,
Reclined on his bed of ease;
He tossed and moaned in his unrest, N
Like angry, troubled seas.
He dreamed that Gabriels trump had blown
And the Judgment day had come,
That the sinful and wicked were set aside
And the righteous gathered home.
Just to the right of the ..great white throne,n
Were gathered the chosen few,
And the printer gazed with distended eyes,
On the scene, so strange and new.
Every calling and walk in life
he saw assembled there;
The rich, the poor, the halt, the blind,
And youths and maidens fair.
But among that vast and sanity throng,
That crossed from Jordan's banks,
He saw not one familiar face,
From out the printers ranks.
Puzzled and mystfded as well,
He stood outside the gate
And wondered as to what had been
bis fellow craftmen's fate.
Resolved at last the worst to know,
He started toward the throne,
And to the warden at the gate
his doubts and fears made known.
The warden looked amused and smiled
The printers thoughts he read
And then, in mild and pleasant tones,
These cheering words he said:
'sYoung man, shake off thy gloomy fears;
OF this thou may feel sure,
Thy friends, inside the pearly gates,
VIII rest in peace secure.
"Cheer up, my friend, they'll soon be here.
To enjoy their needed rest,
As soon as their night of toll Is Ger
And the paper is sent to press.p
The printer advanced to enter the gate,
As the key was turned in the lock.
When he woke with start and found he had
slept
TIN long past lao O'Clock.

on organization. It fully explains the

Let us suppose that you, my reader,
have been giving a little attention to the
sayings and doings of the labor men,
that you have read and thought suffi-
|ciently on the subject to have q pretty
good general idea of their principles and
aims, and that you find yourself more or
Hess in accord with them; that still you
entertain some objections and difficulties
and your mind isin condition of doubt
and uncertainty. Now, let us suppose
you have among your acquaintances two
or three persons similarly disposed, and
that you invite them to meet you ex-
pressly to talk over the subject. Suppose
that, as result of your first meeting,
you are all sufficiently interested to wish
to meet for the same purpose again and
again, sometimes in the apartments OF
one and sometimes in those of the others.
Finally You meet regularlysay once a
week and from two or three your num-
bers have increased to half dozen or
more. In the meantime you have OBJ
tanned for yourselves and have read and
discussed together, or passed from one to
another. some labor literature. Perhaps,
also, you have thrown yourselves into
intercourse with some well-informed
labor advocate.
Now, my reader, will venture to say
that the desire which you first had to
study the subject for your own sake, will
have expanded by this time into a desire
TO spread your views everywhere within
the circle of your influence, and the same
desire will animate your companions.
Suppose, then, that each of you while re-
tanning your organization as little club
