The Buffalo branch Of the Chicago Sea-

and had less blscklegging to encounter
during the year than for long time
past. Many of the men have gone east
to get work in the ocean and coastlng
trade instead of laying off for the winter
as usual.
A good many of our iron workers are
leaving town to. find work elsewhere. "A
number have gone to Toronto and

been found at small but living wages.
Our huge trunk sewer is nearing COM

BALTIMORE, Dec. baltimore is not
experiencing business boom. Itwould
be little singular if such a state of af-
fairs existed here, while from every part
of the country comes complaint of slack
times In almost eyerv industry. A visit
to our shoe factories will convince one
that there is very little doing in shoe
manufacturing, as many vacant seats and
benches are discovered. Many of our
journevmen tin can makers are now idle.
Work in the building trades is Stacking
up. Upholsterers are busy and have
been for some time past, many working
night and day; with these workmen,
however, it is generally a feast or a
famine, the present being their. busy
season. Baker Bros. let off some thirty
glassblowers recently. am glad to-
know that the journeyman trunk makers
of this city are waking up to organiza-
ton. They have formed a strong union
and control over a half dozen shops.
Their trade is only fair. 49,.

: WASHINGTON, Dec, 2.-Work for the
stonecutters on the Washington monu-
ment is entirely through, and nothing
now remains for the completion of that
structure so far as the stone work is con-
cerned, but laying the structure, which
will surmount the summit at height of
$50 feet. The stone yard is deserted by
the workmen, but visitors from all sec
tions visit it to carry off!clrips of marble
as mementoes of this great work. These
fragments, now lying around valueless,
in a years time will be worth their
weight in gold. 1t is proposed to have a
grand celebration over the completion of
the monument on February %. -
The carpenters boycott of the Wash
ington and Georgetown railroad is still
progressing. Various propositions are
discussed for the support of opposition
conyeyances. G A herdlc line has for a
long time been running in opposition to
the street railways, and this is being
largely patronized by workingmen. 1t is
also proposed to contract for a line OF
buses forthe accommo odation Of laborers
morning and evening. Very few work
ingrnen are now to be seen riding on
these cars. II
The coopers' fight with the George
town millers for using old and dirty
barrels in place of new ones is going on
quietly. Grocers who sell boYcotted

are nov leaving off the stamp. One mil

New YORK.
TBy Associated Labor Press.

New YORK, Dec 2,-The wave of ere
duction" that is breaking against the
workers all over the country, has reached
the city Of New York, and there is alarm
in not few of the trades. The painters
report that the bosses are taking advan-
tage of the fact that so many men are
out of work, and in some cases have
already begun the cut. They have been
getting from $3.50 to So day; and,. at
tn rates of rent and living here, will
| find it hard to make both ends meet
/ over smaller wage. The building trades,
/ especially the bricklayerst are in a bad
condition for any struggle with capital ;
and, in fact, with the low prices every
/ where prevailing in all industries, it is
hard to see how the New York men car
maintain their ground We hear Of
printers in the large towns of Ohio,
Pennsylvania and New York who are
setting type for Island 20 cents a thou
sand, and we hear of laborers putting in
their ten hours a day for 80 to IS cents.
What things are coming to, Heaven only
knows. .t. s
Appeals for help are coming to the
New York unions from various parts OF
the country, but there is tightening of
the pocket that gives them all warning. Of
bad luck. Yet we have during the past
week done something in slight way for
the Hooking miners. The subscriptions
were started on the, fifteenth, and to-day
they foot up nearly $1,000. But they are
hard to get and small when got.

Editor LABOR ENQUIRER:
I am thoroughly disgusted with the
majority of the "reform papers in refus-
ing to expose the damnable character of
our ballot. I am at loss to determine
whether they are knaves or blind fead-
ers of, the blind" Agitators who do
not believe in voting at all, ought, if they
are fit to lead, show that the present
way of voting can give no relief. In
stead of doing this they keep dark on
the matter and the multitude, thinking
that voting will help them. stay in the
grand army of one or other of the old
parties and refuse to listen tornew ideas.
We can't get people to join our ranks
while they think they can make things
better by training and voting in theirs.
But the great leaders Of reform perhaps
don't see it in that light. 5. sTETf

/ Paterson, Dec. .2.-Owing to the al
legged increased Importation of English
machinery the employees Of J. C. Todd's
machine works of this city were in
formed Of proposed general decrease Of
16 per cent in their wages. Objection
was raised, but conference with Mr.
Todd who promised to adjust the diff
Guilty when trade would revive, ayerted
a strike.
The Watson machine eompany's works
have shut down in consequence, it is
said, of the putting in of a new engine,
present power being inadequate. Fears,
however. predict the permanency of a
reduction in wages.
| Work at the rolling mills, gradually
Stacking up for some time, is showing no
sign of improvement.
A number of French weavers recently
arrived in the country have been in-
duced hither by some evil agency. The
silk trade here was never iu more un-
healthy condition 1t is, therefore, cruel
to see these deluded strangers difficulties
and sufferings increased.
The legislative committe of the Fed
Grated Trades ond Labor unions met last
Sunday in Newark to effect organization.
J. P. Mcdonnell of Paterson was elected
chairman and Messrs. NJ. Lederman of
Jersey City and ]. A. Murphy of Newark
respectively first and second vice chair
men. An elaborate compulsory educa-
ton bill. having the approval of the gov
ernor and sympathy of senators and
Hassemblymen of both parties. was sub
mitted by Mr.. Mcdonnell aud adopted
by sections. The necessity of public en-
tertainments to meet the inadequacy Of
the capitation tax was suggested and the
secretary ordered to seek the co-opera-
ton of TIE trades and labor bodies
throughoht the state. ~
Our EXPOSITION of the two blacklegs
who betrayed the PEOPLES party IN this
city has, We perceive, induced a member
of that organization to write to,our wor-
thy contemporary, John Swinton's Paper,
on the subject. Evidently, the writer,
in the purity of his own motives, is not.

the shame and treason Of these twin po-I

the party sold out General Butler, but

none but the authorized ticket was out.
We regret we cannot concur, but would
respectfully inform him that another
ticket than the authorized one was
in ours and some friends hands at the
polls. Enough for the present. L. s. /

with reduction Of working hours, the
naturalization of land, railways and

proposals we have brought to the front.

only because they could be acted on to-

the probable reason for the discon-

that the officer on watch keeps awake
