NEW YORK, March lit looks as though
we are to have some kind of law about
chld-labor from this session of the legisla-
ture. There are three bills on the subject,
and any one of them is more desirable than
negligence. The least desirable af them all
has just passed the assembly with only one
vote against it and, as there is a chance of
its being adopted by the senate, we may this
year see beginning of the work of emanci-
patton for the IS 900 little children now en-
slaved in the mills, factories, workshops, and
tobacco tenements of New York.
l have from time to time told you of the
beginning of distinct union organizations
among the German workmen in the trades

actively engaged in enlarging their union,
and they have set about their work in an

of the year, to have pretty full control of the
German element of the trade.
l have been interviewing Delegate Sander,
of the Walters union, which has taken head
quarters, and is busy preparing for summer
campaign. There are in this city over 5000
walters, who are of three classes,-hotel
walters, downtown restaurant walters, and
out-of-door walters. They are poorly paid,
subjected to many wrongs, uncertain of reg
ular work, and at the mercy of set of
harDies who make contracts for them. Their
organization proposes to take up these QueS-
tions, and see what can be done about them.
The Brooklyn bakers are being thoroughly

The overflow of the Thames was no
doubt crying evil in the waterside
parts of London, but the question again
arose whether the government was the
proper authority to deal with it. If there
really wasthe e1ceptional distress which
had been alluded to, what was done
during the cotton famine might perhaps
be done again, but he was in no position
to promise.
Mr.. Burns replied that it was the duty
of the government to compel the local
authorities to do what was right. b As to
the operations during the cotton famine,
they were out of the question now. If
the men of the last generation were sub
servient slaves and dolts and idiots, there
was no reason why people should be SO
now. Hear. hear.] He had travelled
all over the world and seen tribes OF
cannibals, but he had seen no degrada-
ton, poverty and wretched surroundings
equatto those which English workmen,
through no fault of their own, were COM
PEELED to endure. Courteous and polite
as Mr. Russell had been, his answers
were entirely unsatisfactory AS for
bringing pressure to bear on the local
authorities, it was useless in the face of
the existing Bumbledom; and if the gov
ernment did not aecede to the demands
now made they would bring about
crisis which no authority would be able
TO resist.
Mr.. Russell explained that the board
was perfectly prepared to sanction any
application by local authorities for power
to begin works which would relieve the
distress; but the difficulty was that the
people would not take the trouble to
elect proper persons to local boards and
boards of guardians.
The deputation, thanking Mr.. Russell
for his courtesy, withdrew, and returned
with the procession to the embankment.
There, to a diminished audience and
amid heavier downpour of rain than
before, each gave his account of the in
teryiew. Mr.. Macdonald added that
unless the government did something to
provide work for the unemployed, starv-
ing men would be turned into bloody
Revolutionlsts.s [Cheers.]
Mr.. Hyndman also spoke, remarking
that every person who died of starya-
ton was murdered by the government,
and unless the latter applied some
remedy he should be the first to form a
secret society, though he had previously
refused several invitations to join such
bodies, believing them to be baneful.
Mr.. Burns moved, THAT this meeting
of the unemployed, having heard the
answer given by the local government
board to their deputation, considers the
refusal to start public works to be SEN
tence of death on thousands of those out
of work, and the recommendation to
bring pressure to bear on the local bodies
to be direct Indictment to violence !;
further, it will hold Mr.. G. W. E.
Russell and the members of the govern
ment, Individually and collectively,
guilty of the murder of those who may
'Jffe III rue next few weeks; and -who5o
lives would have been saved had the
suggestions of the deputation been acted
on"
The resolution was carried unani-
mously, and copy of it sent to Sir c.
Dixie.
The meeting closed with three cheers
for the Social Revolution.

This so incensed Morrill, against Mr..
