Buffers Position.

ELIZABETH, New Jersey, July lab.
w. TerIinde, Of this city, secretary OF
the national committee of the greenback
party, accompanied General Butler from
Chicago to Buffalo. He says Butler
stated distinctly =, to General Weaver,
himself and others, that he had accepted
the national and anti-monopolY nomina-
tions, and would run. He will probably
concentrate his work in New York. Z.
July I5.-General B. F.
Butler arrived this morning, and was
interviewed by Star reporter. He
positively refused to discuss his attitude
or intimate his future course. He said
the latter is subject for consideration,
and when he gives it the careful consid-
Grafton it. merits he will declare him
self over his signature in no unmistak-
able terms In the meantime he pro-
nounces false in a wholesale way any
and all expressions or declarations pur-
porting to come from him. A.
i CHICAGO, July 16.-Information has
been received from close friends of

The appointing, of a receiver for the
Denver & Rio Grande was a source; Of
qualification to, the public at large, and
the selection ofla man for the position
who. is we'll known to business people OF
the state is an additional satisfaction.
But, best of all, this change in the con-
dition of Rio Grande affairs will be q
blessing to the employees of the road.
They will now probably be paid monthly,
and although it may be long time
before the pay car catches UP with the

THE Trades Assembly of this city is in
pfosperouscondition. tsfter two years
of hard, and sometimes discouraging
labor, the;earnest workingmen of this
city who have turned some of their at

knowing that the assembly is at last
upon firm footing. There are now nine
organizations represented in the Trades
Assembly. 5combining az represented

as trades and callings are organized they

every reason to believe that the term
just begun will be one of power and

The article in last weeks issue of THE
ENQUIRER dealing with the Union Pacific
hospital has created quite a sensation,
and there is considerable activity in
some quarters In all probability the
affair will be thoroughly investigated at
once, and if it is, there may be more Pc
euliar things unearthed than are at
present dreamed of, Let US hope that
the investigation will result in bringing
about a better state of affairs, so that the
men who are the sole support of the
Sthospital fund.- win be. assured decent
treatment when SO unfortunate as to
have to enter the refuge.

,rhe Brothefhooa and Utah Central. !,

The following letter appeared in the
Salt Lake'Tribune. 1t explains itself: /
@eThe article In Friday evenings. Des-
eret News, entitled Between Two Stools
is written with very poor understand
ing of the principles which govern the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
That organization never encourages
strikes, but invariably takes the position
ofarbiter between employers and em-
ployes In the interest of peace Thirteen
members of the brotherhood, now in the
employ Of the Utah Central are effected
sby the late order for a 10 per cent reduc-
don of wages. These thirteen protest
against the reduction for good reasons,
the eNchief of which is that they are now
working for more than, 10 per cent less
than the engineers and fremen of COM
peting lines, The brotherhood has taken
up the protest of these men, and, through.
committee, has presented it to the
proper officials of the road. Should the
railroad company persist in the reduction
in spite of the manly and reasonable
protest of their employees. the chief of
the order will thenSappoint a committee
of arbitration. Sho&ld the committee
fail to secure harmony the matter will
again 60 before the grand chief, who re-
sides at Cleveland, Ohio, and with. him
will rest the decision OF the question
whether. they are justified in leaving
their engines. If such is his decision
they come under the support of the order
until they find other em pleyment.
These Utah Central employees are vol
UNFAIRLY members of the order--on their
on motions, and as good men are asking
its protection. The proper officer of the
brotherhood hiss yet to. determine
whether they are right. Certainly they
seem to be right, and they haye the
hearty support of their brethren here.
That official of the Utah Central who
is most anxious now to see these men re-
duced to beggarly compensation was

forward an account of your meeting to
the Division Secretary. You will then
receive proper documents and each man

/ Butte is one of the liveliest camps in

branches higher, than in, many other

not due to,mere accident nor. to any un-
usual liberality Of employers, but to the.
