LOUISVILLE, August 4.-Wage- workers
Of this city have been kept busy of late
working for our candidate in local elec,
ton. NJ. J. Burke, our peer, telegra-
pher who figured with considerable
prominence in their strike last year, was
manager of the Baltimore and Ohio
Office in this city, and who is now ostra-
cised from every telegraph Office In
America and Canada, and who has
proven himself worthy of every conf
dence of all co-laborers, was placed in
nomination for marshal Of the city court
against field of seven Others, part of
whom were also workingmen. Mr..
Burke made the race entirely upon
his merits, relying on the workingmen
for support, while his competitors were
quite lavish with their money, and in
many instances as high as $40 were paid
for votes, and of course we were beaten,
but by such small majority. Under
the circumstances we feel quite proud
and at the same, time sore at our defeat.
One of Mr.. Burke's bitterest enemies in
the race we took from the workshop
several years ago and gave him a very
fat Office, and now he has turned square
against us, but we must remember that
"he whom the gods would destroy isfirst
made mad" and as this same gentleman
will be before the public and the assem-
blies this fall for further favors, but we
think that four years-from poverty to
affluence--is sufficient when he has
turned against those who brought him
out of the ranks of the Knights of
Labor and, without the use Of ST, elected
him.
Next Monday, August II, the Trades
and Labor Assembly will hold its third.
picnic, to which all unions and assem-
blies are requested to attend in body.
Invitations have been sent out to all
cities within 200 miles, and several large
excursions will arrive in time to partici-
pate in, the parade. I'D
An effort is being made by the Timers
and Sheet Iron Workers union to form an

CINCINNATI, August 4.-There has been
considerable excitement here for few
days prior to last Friday evening, at
which time the monster trades union in
dignation meeting was held at Robin
sons opera house, one Of the largest the
aters in this city. The meeting, as stated
last week, was held for the purpose OF
expressing sympathy for the locked-out
molders and cigarmakers and indigna-
ton at the action Of the manufacturers
in asking police interference in the
trouble now existing in the two trades.
During Friday, it is said, the militia re-
.csiyed orders to assemble at their armory
at night, some of the snobs fearing an
outbreak by indignant working people,
but there was no such intention on the
part of the latter. Before o'clock the
opera house was crowded by members of
different labor organizations, and half
hour later there were no less than 4,5OO
persons in and around the theater. 1t
was one of the most interesting meetings
held here for long time and good re-
suits will follow. The speakers addressed
the meeting in the following order :
P. F. Fitzpatrick, Hyman Phillips, NJ. D.
Connolly, W.,B. Ogden, John Ehman,
John Winnie, after which appropriate
resolutions were presented by M. F.
Aitken and unanimously adopted. The
meeting was love feast for those who
desire to see labor solidly united, but
anything but pleasant to the eapitalistic
class, some of whom were present.
Organization is rapidly on the increase
in our sister city across the river, Coving-
ton, Kentucky, and greatinterest is man
ifested at the meetings of the different
labor organizations in that city. Last
Sunday night, Carpenters union, No. 3.
located there, gave an entertainment at
which several speeches were delivered,
the principal one of which was that OF
P. ]. Mcclure, of New York, who ar
rived here that day to attend the annual
convention of the Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners Of America, which
met at Workmen's hall, Tuesday morn
ing last. Mr.. Mcclure delivered thor
ough union speech which was Vocifer.
ously applauded.
There are no new developments in the
molding OF cigarmaking trades. There is
but one foundry that is open and work,
ing scabs, the others all being closed
down, with the exception of Chamber
lain & CO., who are working union men
The foundry that is working scabs has all
sorts of people, boys included, trying to
make stove plate, but the attempt to run
with a non-union Crew will be a failure

NEW YoRK, August 4.-All kinds Of
business is slack. The "better classes
take advantage Of the weather and the
dullness to spend their hard earnings al
the sea side or mountains, leaving the
"incapables, = as Chauncey Depew (van-
derbilt,s riehthand mani calls those
who have to toll for wages, to enjoy their
enforced idleness in the shadow Of the
tenements, on the park benches or in
the rum holes, too many, alasl pre-.
ferring the latter.
The interest of the industrial world
of New York, the present week, has
centered around the strike of the brick.
Layers and laborers. Their trouble il
about over. There are less than 200 of the
former and very little more of the latter
now unemployed. On Monday the ma
jority of these will be at work. Last
Monday the trainers those who do the
rough carpentering on building
manded and received nine hours, Thus,
the present movement has been aus
piciously begun, and, before long the
other affiliated trades in the Building
Council will fall into llne-probablY the
carpenters and painters last of all. 'Tis
a glorious victory, and its influence will,
no doubt, be felt from Maine to Cali
fornia.
Among the typos this week, the Trib.
une has been 8 source of talk. The
Central Labor union instructed COM
mittee to wait upon Whitelaw Reid. 1t
did so on Monday, and were politely
received. That was all. He will not
recede from his determination to employ
none but rats, not even at the cost Of
the republican party and its candidates.
the same day committee of forty7one
waited on the republican national COM
mittee. and laid the grievance of the
printers before it. The executive COM
mittee were profuse in their expressions
of sympathy, etc., and told the workers
to come on Thursday for an answer. |
Should state that the committee put this
alternative before the republicans:
Prevail on ,Whitelaw Reid tosemploy
union men; if not, agree with us not to
give the paper any political patronage.
If terms are not accepted. then take the
consequences. The committee waited
on the executive on Thursday and were
informed that Whitelaw Reid would not
give in, and they had not decided what
to do with the other proposition. Come
again. before you go to press you will,
perhaps. get the result. c. McK.l
twill be good thing for the political
problem, if the executive comm ittee
make the desired agreement Atpresent
we are very much mixed here, on the
presidential question, and Ben Butler is
the only man who can put matters
straight. We expect him to come out
strong in a few davs. +
The proposition to build labor union
hall is assuming definite shape.
The Workingmens' State assembly
meets on August II, at Utica, and the
important questions for support during
the fall campaign will be decided upon.
The child labor question will be, per-
haps, the leading issue this fall. That
must be abolished.

Not the, Work Of One. Man.

I cannot shut my eyes to the fact that
the production of wealthyis not the work
of any one man, and the acquisition of
great fortunes is not possible without the
cooperation of multitudes ofNmen and
that, therefore, the individualsNto whose
lot these fortunes fall, whether by inher-
itance or the laws of production and
trade, should never lose sight of the, fact
that as they only hold them by the will
of society, expressed in statute law, 50
they should administer them as trustees
for the benefit of society as inculcated
by the moral law.-Peter Cooper. ~
