AN INCIDENT OF THE GETTYSBURG TRIP
An incident OF the trip of the President to the
Gettysburg battlefield yesterday gave rise to
the rumor that an attempt had been made to
shoot him. When the returning train was
about five miles from Emmet's Grove, ut D.
cession, and the flash of a pistol was seen from
the car windows. The pistol balls, If the wea-
pom was loaded, passed over the train, and the
salute to the President as was the evident in-
tention of the enthusiast holding the pistol gave
satisfaction to the individual if to no one else.
Some of the passengers heard the report, but
supposed that it was the passage of the wheels
over signal tOrpedOes placed ON the track.

ing the Costs.

Last Saturday evening, Director
Amherg, of the Thalia Theater, New
York, came to his senses, and re-
quested an interview with the Boy
colt Committee of the Central Labor
Union, informing these gentlemen
that he was ready to concede all
the demands made by the Union
musicians. So the committee met
MIR. Amberg in the Office of the At
lantic Garden, and the following
agreement was entered into and
signed:
agreement befreen the central LABOR
Union and TIE Carl Sdhm Ciub and
M. &. Amberg:
|, Gustave Amberg. herewith bind my
self to employ members of the Carl
Sahn Club, which is represented in the
Central Labor Union, in all theaters
under my management, and bind my
self further to pay them the full Union
price us prescribed by the constitution of
the Musical Protective Union; and fur
tler, in cases where special instruments
are necessary, | agree to give one weeks
notice
Anf bind myself IN addition to pay
ta TIC 'arl Sahm Club the sum of four
ainGFod dollars 30 cover the costs OF the
bagcoit,
me undersigned representatives Of the
Central Labor Union declare herewith
that ia consideration of these facts the
boycott against the Thalia and Star The
aters is lifted, and we promise to use our
influence to repair the damage.
In case of differences between the
management Of these theaters and the
Carl Sahm Club, they shall be referred to
the Board of Arbitration of the Central
Labor Union for settlement. The mem
bers Of the orchestra shall obey the
rules Of the several theaters.
G. AMBERG.
PAUL MEYER, Chairman of the Boy
colt Committee of the G. l.. u.
JOHN HUBER, Secretary.
The instrument was also signed by
the representatives of the Carl Sahm
Club.
Before the chairman signed the
agreement, he was handed Mr.. Am
borg's check for $4OO, which includ-
ed the fine paid by one Of the boy
cottcrs, which Judge Duffy unjustly
imposed upon him for distributing
boycott circulars. Thus does United
Labor enforce its just demands, cor
rupt courts and lickspittle judges to
the contrary Notwithstanding. Great
is the power of organization, and
effective its servant, the Boycott.

POLITICAL BOYCOTTERS.

The Iovhingfon Past says that the
fourth class democratic postmastcr>
are in many places boycottcd by the
republicans. These latter buy THEN
stamps in the cities and mail their
letters on the ears. and so rhe post
masters salary, which depends on
the number Of stamps he sells and
cancels is cut down. Complaints
have been sent to the postmaster
general in such numbers that he has
decided to call the attention Of con-
grrss to them.

TAILORS' VICTORY.
Boss TailOrs' Cause Strike, Are
Whipped and Foot the Bill.

A little over II week ago the boss
taiors, who are generally contrac-
tors for the large clothing firms in
New York, entered into q conspira-
cy to break the Shop Tailors' Union
and reduce the wages of this hard
working class of proletarians. The
result was not very encouraging to
the bosses, for they were completely
routed, and last Tuesday they found
themselves compelled to sign sort
Of "iron-clad" and pay $500 to the
Union to cover the costs of the lock
out. Among the stipulations signed
by the bosses were these:
No boss belonging to the bosses asso-
citation shall employ non-union men.
As the present trouble was brought
about by the action of the bosses, they
shall pay all expenses incurred by our
executive committee, amounting to $500,
One boss, however, was excepted.
lie was not to be so leniently dealt
with, as the Tailors' Union consid-
cred him rs a most dishonorable
man. His name is Witowsky, and
the Union reserves him for especial
punishment. After the bosses had
signed the agreement and paid the
fine, the knights of the needle re-
sumed their work.
