National labor conventions are becoming
more numerous every year. Among re-
cent conventions were the plasterers, print
ers, shoe and leather workers and wool-hat
finishers. The tailors, cigarmakers, furn-
iture workers, carpenters, hatters, news
dealers, ironworkers aud miners will soon
meet in national convention. Ultimately
there will be union Of all for offensive and
defensive purposes, though maintaining
separate craft organizations. For the pres
ent, and possibly for years to come, the
workers must labor in disciplinary sort of
way. They cannot seize or comprehend as
body the great vital underlying questions
of social economy. They will reach these
in time. These conventions are simply
schools.

THE GREAT REVIVALIST.
Sam jones' Wonderful Religious
Work Through the South.
His Education, His Career OF Wick
edness and His Conversion.


Great excitement has characterized the
ministrations of Sam Jones in various parts
of the South. 1t is probable that he will
soon start upon Northern tour, and will
doubtless be heard in st. Paul and Mime
apolis. His revivalistic efforts have been
followed by numerous conversions and large
accessons of membership to some of the
Protestant denominations. Starting his
evangelistic work in Alabama in the year
1881, he has visited at different times Flor
ida, Mississippi, Kentucky, Texas, Tennes-
see, South Carolina and New York. Vast
crowds everywhere attend the services con-
Quoted by him, and he could make great
gain by his wonderful popularity if he
would. But he consistently refuses to en-
rich himself as the result of his work, and
seems content to be poor as well as labori-

The report of the arbitration committee
has done absolutely nothing to restore har-
mony in the shops.
There was nothing doing in the shops yes
terday. All had stock ahead and most of
the coopers attended the excursion.
Huger Dusold of the Northwestern has
gone to Osceola, Wis, and Peter Weis of
the same is visiting his home in Missouri.
There is so little work just at this time
that coopers are not prepared to resist any
reduction, much as they oppose it and well
founded as are their reasons.
Business was little better in the shops
toward the end of this week, when several
OF the mills started up again. 1t is ex-
pected that from how until the closing of
the mills, in July, trade will he fair. After
that time, as only the steam mills can !
those shops that furnish them with bal
will be the only ones doing anything.
The Northwestern Miller has been at
some pains to show that Minneadolis coop
ers do not average large wages. 1t is true,
1t says, that there are periodical spells when
they nave all they can do and make good
wages, but enforced idleness nearly as often
overtakes them, and the average earnings of
most shops are pretty slender. The highest
average wages we have known of being
paid the past year were about $11 per week,
and this was in only two or three shops that
nave run exceptionally steady. In other
shops they have fallen very much below
that figure, i'll some instances touching ST.
per day or below. Any one acquainted with
the high cost of rent and necesSarieS of life
in Minneapolis cannot fail to see how diff
cult it often must be for the cooperS to
make ends meet ON such an income. If our
cooperS found as steady employment the
year round as most other vocations supply,
they could afford to wGrk for less, but as this
d esideratum seems impossible of realiZa-
tion, 16c for making barrels (the price
existing until recently, and in a
few shops stilD, is none too high.
AS an illustration of the small earn
ings at some of the shops, we will
cite the case of the Minnesota Barrel COM
pany on the East side. Secretary Martens,
at considerable labor, has furnished us a
very comprehensive statement of the wages
earned by the members of his company.
For the six months ending May the 35
men of the shop worked, length OF time
equal to 707 weeks for one man, out OF the
total number of 910 weeks. This means
that the men were idle 203 weeks in the
period. During the time that the coopers
had employment, they made, on an average,
fraction less than Sc barrels per week,
which, at 16c per barrel, would give them
$3.50 for their labor each week. To look
at the matter in another way, the men av-
eraged for the full six months 431s barrels
per week, and earned $6.96 weekly. These
are actual figures, taken from the books of
the company by Secretary Martens, and can
at any time be verified. There are other
shops that can show equally as light earn
ings for the cooper, and when lower prices
for barrels are thought of, this phase of the
question should not be forgotten OF over
looked.

gence did not point to successful suit,
and the case will probably be dropped.
Cases are daily reported of the most bare
faced swindling practiced by certain em-
ployment agencies, so-called, which con-
tinue to exact fees from men for securing
work, the work (9) provided being a couple
of hours labor under contractor, who
discharges them upon some trumped-up ex-
cuse, without cent of pay. Some OF these
gentry need looking after by the grand jury.
The necessity of advising workinsgmen in
other cities to stay away from Minneapolis
for the present is daily becoming apparent
There are about 1900 idle men in the city,
embracing all trades, and the futility Of
more coming is obvious. Certain contract
ors, it is said, are advertising that men are
needed in Minneapolis with view of glut-
ting the market in order to cheaper the
price of labor.

EOTMAdtIOAs
Nearly every person in the city is aware
that there is such an establishment in our
midst as the st. Paul harvester works, but
few realize the extent and Importance OF
this mandatory. The plant owns tract
of fifty-tive acres about four miles from the
eity. between the tracks of the Omaha ana
the st. Paul q Duluth roads, and connected
with each railway by SidingS. Inc COM
pany has block of tenement houses ad-
iacent to the works, in which live a num-
ber of the men employed in the shops. The
shops proper occupy about fifteen acres of
the tract of land owned by the harvester
works corporation. During the busy sea-
son of manufacturing harveSterS and
binders. which is from Feb. to June 1,
about three hundred and fifty or four hum
dred men are employed. This means about
two thousand souls, on the usual estimate
of five persons to each voter. VINO are sup
ported upon the work furnished by tne
harvester works. These 1000 people need
to be clothed, fed and shod, band 1t gives
business to the grocer, the boot and
shoe, clothing merchant and the dry
goods dealer-in fact, all branches
of business are stimulated to just sucn an
extent as this factory gives employ
A city gains in Importance commercially
in proportion to the extent and diversity OF
its manufacturing. The factories bring
skilled artisans within her confines, increases
her population and volume of business.
This season the harvester works
turned out 1900 machines from
February TO June, $50 less than
last wear, but the class of work is superior
to that of seasons heretofore. The city Of
ice does all the buying and selling for the
works, and the corporation leaves the &C
tive management of the shops to Superln-
tendent PritZ.
Out of the number of machines manu-
factured this spring /, 900 have been shipped
away so far. and the work of loading into
the cars for shipment is still in progress.
The old company, whose reverses are well
known to the public, had any num-
Der of their harYesters and binders
returned upon their hands because OF de-
fects but it is fact worthy OF comment
that out of last years $50 machines less
than 90 frames are now on the new COM
pany's hands, whereas 200 would not be
considered a great number. The machines
made by the new company stand at the
head of the list. The capacity of the
works is 5000 yearly. but at present the
manufactory does not run to its full capacity
except during the period mentioned. At
present there is only about one-third of the
force employed, but there is much of in
terest to be seen by the visitor and the
courteous superintendent will show the
curious about the different departments with

For the week ending last Saturday the
mills turned out 46, 512 barrels of flour, the
smallest weeks work on record Last
Tuesday and Wednesday several of the
larger mills started up, running the daily
capacity up to nearly 20, 900 barrels. The
weeks product would have touched 100, OOC
but for Saturdays stop, but as it was il
reached to little over so, 900.
James W. Tamm of the Phoenix mill was

A thorough test of the flour-making quail
tiles Of the PillSbury B mill will be made
to-day.
The Pillsbury B, Crown Roller, Standard
and Zenith mills will probably shut down
tomorrow.
A new automatic fire alarm system has
been put into the Washburn A mill and
works quite satisfactorily. This was done,
probably, to prevent the dudes from the
Office from turning in false alarms
1t has been about decided that the changes
and repairs of the canal will be begun on
July 4, which will necessitate the shutting
down of all the West side mills that depend
on the water. 1t will leave the eight steam
mills to go ahead or not, as they choose.
The Minneapolis Mill company, which
owns the water power used by the mills,
knows good thing when it gets it. 1t is
not disposed to lessen the dependence of
the mills on it's water, by allowing them to
put in steam power, if it can help it, and
has worked neat little scheme which the
Miller leniently describes as follows: For
some time it has been known that several
mills on the river side of the West side
canal contemplated introducing steam
power. 1t now seems that this is to be de-
feated, or at least delayed, by the position
taken by the Minneapolis Mill company,
which owns the land Immediately in
the rear Of the mills and upon
which these parties expected to To-
cate their boiler houses. The Mill
company has refused to lease or sell the
ground to the mills desiring the same, on
the ground that it has inaugurated policy
of improvement, and may need the space
back of the mills at some future time for a
second canal, and therefore cannot afford to
allow any buildings to be erected where
they would possibly interfere with the car
rying out of such a scheme. This action
of the Mill company has discommoded c.
A. Pillsbury & Co. the most seriously of
anyone. Some time ago they gave an order
for a Reynolds -Corliss engine for their B
mill, and have now felt constrained to
countermand it. There has been some talk
about placing boilers for the mill on the
island across the race way, but whether
this will be practicable has not yet been
demonstrated. The difficulty has resulted
| in upsetting two or three engine trades that
had been about consummated.

Harvester Works o.shut Down.

AS is customary, the Minneapolis Har-
vester works are preparing to shut down
July 1. One hundred employees have al
ready been laid off and 800 more will follow
this week. The balance, about one hun
dred, will probably be kept two or three
weeks. A few men in the shipping depart
ment and half dozen patern-makers will
be retained for the summer. Work will not
be resumed before Oct. 1, and many of the
men will work in the harvest fields in the
meantime.
During the past year the works have
turned out about five thousand harvesters,
an average years work. Owing to the
threatened crop failures in many localities,
the sales are correspondingly light and the
outlook is not very encouraging.

homes have got billiard tables in them"
Sans own statement about himself is that
he was a very wicked man at one period of
his life. This may account for his extreme
condemnation of practices which many
reasonable Christian people do not dis
approve when they are not abused by ex-
cess.
Sam is an effective speaker, courageous
to rebuke and terribly outspoken with re-
gard to what he considers wrong He is
earnest in teaching the outline droctrines Of
Protestant theology, but never spends time
in theological hair-spliting. AS a preacher
he deals with his hearers individually, and
gives everybody something to remember
and to feel,
OVERCOMING PREJUDICE
by his earnestness and manifest sincerity.
He wields every weapon of available attack
on what he believes is evil-doing, and is al
ways at the same time earnest and in COM
mand of all the resources of rough-and-
ready style of speech, which has more pith
in it than the shallow critic may perceive.
This redoubtable preacher is of good stock.
He was born in Gainesville, Barlow county.
Ga, in 1S49. His father was soldier in
the war, and afterwards practiced law.
Several of his uncles and his grandfather
share, or did share, with him the preachers
vocation, with preferences for the Method
list denomination.
Sam Jones, though not a learned, is far
from being an unlettered man, and could be
more elegant in his diction if he cared more
for the literary proprietieS. He received a
good academic education, and was vOra-
cious reader during his boyhood and youth.
Having attained the proper age, he adopted
the learned profession of the law, and pros
pered in practice, notwithstanding that, ac-
cOrding to his account of what he was at
that period of his life, he was
DRUNKARD AND A GAMBLER.
There is no evidence that he was ever a
''hard" character. He was generous, gay,
jovial and bit wild, and blundered into
wickedness sometimes, but was never a
hardened sinner, and his friends deprecate
his being so understood when he calls his
past to mind in the great congregation.
The revalist married when young, and
began singularly harmonious domestic life
with a daughter of Kentucky, who is now
living and the joyful mother of six chill
dren.
It was in the year 1870 that Sam began
to take religious view of life, the occasion
of the change being the impression wrought
on his mind by the death of his father. Soon
after this event he was ''soundly con-
verted," joined the church and began to be
heard in meeting. His gifts Illuminated his
graces, and before long he was a popular
preacher. The first ten years of his work
in the pulpit were spent in different parts
of Georgia. After that time, in 1881, he
began revivalistic work outside of his ma
tive state. His reputation is now wide as
the diffusion of ephemeral literature.
