riny OF the journals OF the Senate and the

which were passed Let Us know what they

lot passed. NJ own opinion OF the 81 b
General Assembly can be briefly stated II
Is. that Judged b. he results Of the action
rron he statute books, it vas one OF ths
A;,,sr. If not the very wise.t. body OF legis-
ta,crs ever ccuy,Gsd in Ohio for the making
Of the laws # our Stat
Labor Interests.
II will be sfcu from recent number Of
the Pittsburgh l%0or Tribune what this
legislature did TOR the labor n'eres's OF the
State, that if We have not secured all that
We desired in the past two years, we have a.
least secured more than We had done In all
the previous history Of legislation in this
Stale. That we have secu7d so mach is
due to the fact that the worIngmen agl,
,arcd for and insisted upon slch legislation
IN Ohio, and We are proud o: the fact thai
the Ohio Miners Association was the first
TO set the ball rolling in the ight direction
IF ,LeEe are the results O the lab )rs OF
no lad lot in our General Assembly, We
suspect that the worEDgEel Of Other States
would be glad 10 have iheir legislatures
vaccira'ed with Ohio lym2h. Besides this
ho~eGer. q. lis Hrst session It ave civil
rigE,s 10 co.ored men equal to those pos
,essel BY the whites. Perhaps this IN Nr
Sh,rnans eyes is the bad job OF "5ld
