FOR AN EIGHU-HOUR DAY.
Stupendous Labor Movement Outlined by a
Chicago Socialist

Stupendous Labor Movement Outlined by a
Chicago Socialist.
Chicago Special
A leading Socialist in this city said to-day. that
on the LIST of next May the workinemen of this
country would either win peaceaby the most
effective victory in the history of labor agitation
or they would begin a struggle that would appal
the capitalistic class. Before that date" he ex
planned, 'every employer in the United States
will have received notice that eight hours will
wheels of every productive industry will be
stopped. The organized workers Of the United
States have now no other purpose in view. On
this question they are unit, and their action
will be concerted and simultaneous. The at
tempt will not be made in spots, but in all cities
and in all trades positive action will be taken at
once"
''Can you honestly claim that the organization
of labor is so effective as to make certain the
unity of action you expect?"
1.-THE organization is so general and so effective
as to be beyond dispute. The records of the
Knights of Labor will show the initiation Of over
500, 900 workers. Then, throughout the whole
United States Socialistic organizations are in
active and prosperous existence, and they will
support the movement to man. They, how
ever, do not believe, like the trade union people,
that this constant war between capital and labor
can go on to the end without the use of force
Believing that force will be necessary, and that
the time for its use will probably arrive at the
moment for a final demand for n decrease in the
hours of labor, they will be ready for the issue
In this city to-day there are at least 900 of our
men armed and practicing with Winchester
rifles and studying the best methods of offensive
and defensive warfare.
In conclusion the Socialistic leader said there
were few native Americans in the movement
because they were selfish to the point of coward
ice IN labor matters. and would not make per-
sonai sacrifices for the good of class.

LIGHTNING LErTER-CARRIERs.
An Invention That Is to Revolutionize the
System and supplant the Telephone.


An Invention That Is to RevoIutionize the
System and Supplant the Telephone.
Philadelphia Times.
Henry Clay, the electrician of this city, is
about to introduce a gigantic system of electro
pneumatic transit, which he declares will revo-
lutionize the present system of mail carriage
and the transmission of intelligence by telephone.
The scheme is one Of vast proportions and elab-
crate detail, and is founded on new plan of
transmission by pneumatic tubes controlled and
governed by electrical appliances. Mr. Clay last
year obtained letters patent on the invention in
Europe and in this country and is taking
steps, In connection with George We Bratton,
toward organizing a stock company to cover the
United States and several companies in Europe.
The tubes are to be laid under ground. They
will be made of brass, and through them will be
transmitted metallic carriers or receptacles
adapted TO the need of the business desired. At
convenient points will be placed machines for in
Producing the compressed air that moves the
metallic carriers and also the electric current.
which Is valuable adjunct of the pneumatic
system OF Mr.. Clay. AS the current of air travels
through the tubes the carriers containing articles
to be transferred are carried along with it. The
plant when fully established will be worked on
what will be known respectively as the consecu-
tIve, special and exchange systems. The systems
will be adapted for the transmission of mail be-
tween street letter boxes and postoffices: for
special deliveries to and from certain points; for
private consultation and the transmission of
moneys, stocks and bonds between brokers and
banks, and business men and manufacturing
establishments; for the rapid delivery of pack
eges from stores to districts nearest the address

of the purchaser. and for the transmission of in.
telligence between police patrols and the central
station.
The system differs materially from the present
pneumatic-tube systems in this particular, that
whereas at present several tubes are required to
run from one central point to those radatlng
from it, by the new arrangement OF electrical
devices and switches the carriers sent from
the main tube leading from the central point to
the various branches with great savins.of ex-
pense in tubing. One line of 80. lie will suffice
ior an staVlop Just as do the water mains.
Iiessrs. Clay and Bratton are confident that
oy this invention they will get even with the
Bell Telephone Company. with whom. they had
such great lawsuit last winter, since by this
new system messages can be transmitted with
SO much greater speed, secrecy and general salts

The Vanderbilt Fortune.
Few York Special.

l learned that the Lincoln Bank people, who
comprehend the two sons of the late William H
Vanderbilt are of the opinion that Cornelius and
William X. Vanderbilt will each have $780, 000,
900 ont of the estate and that the remaining
legacies will amount to 800 0O0, 600 more, max

servers tell me that Commodore Vanderbilt left
800, 600 600 to his son, and he therefore has, if
their estimates be true; doubled the property
and put 20 per cent. on that.

Something About Cheese.

Professor Shelton, in Industralist.
The American people love butter. and thew de-
spise cheese, and with good reason; for tho
green raw. curdy cheeses which almost alone
are kept on sale in Western markets, are. with
bologna sausage and sauer kraut, the most indi-
gesrible of edible things, which no one can per-
sist in using without becoming confirmed and
hopeless dyspeptic. 1t is useless for the dairy
journals to urge upon the American people as
they do so constantly, the cheapness and the
great nutritive value of cheese. The average
American is wiser in his day and generation than
the interested advocate. The lesson to be-
taught-the true lesson-s. that no cheese
ought to be put on the market before it is six
months old; and that well made and thoroughly
ripened cheese is not only digestible, but an ail
to the digestion of other aliments-pe- crust fol-
instance. When the American people are taught
to eat thoroughly ripened cheese, they will like
1t and get good out of it, and home demand for
the product will be created which will soon put
lire under the boilers of the now idle cheese fac
tories, and into the eyes of their owners, doubs
not.

Trade Sluggish-No Inclination to Incur New

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. %.
Trade opened today rather tame, and the be-
lief gains foothold tina. little Improvement need
be expected the remaining months of the year.
With the exception of the trade inspired by the
holidays, the business of the year practically
land gracefully ends with Thanksgiving De-
cember is apt to be month of dizziness and de-
preston. 1t is season of retrospect, when
there is more darkness than light. A custom of
the business world sets apart this month for the
settlement of its affairs-a process SO absorbing
as to leave neither time nor inclination to incur
new debts or start fresh enterprises. 1t is well,
therefore, not to expect too much of December.
The New York shipping List Of the 21st says OF
the business situation: 1.-THE genera. movement
of distributive trade has undergone scarcely any
change, and the week closes with a steady but
quiet feeling prevailing, fair absorption of sup
plies IL almost every department. and evidences
that the expanded volume of business has be-
come established upon healthy and substantial,
foundation. Advices from the principal distrib-
uting centers West and South report the demand
comparatively moderate and the markets for
the most part quiet, but the movement of mer-
chandise to and from tributary points as more
active than at the corresponding period last
year, and in excess of the average for several
wears past. The application for funds from job
bers, manufacturers, lumbermen and packers is
said to be gradually increasing which in itself is
an indication thai trade has the support of a
strong undercurrent and that the tendency is in
the direction of expansion. which is slowly bat
permanently widening the field of operation.
The wheat and -four markets continue tame, and
the same is true of the provision market The
contingencies of war do not seem to have stimu
lated foreign buyers into activity and the out
ward movement is as slow as it could we'll be-
