George Rodgers, at the usual Sunday
afternoon meeting of the Trades and
Labor Assembly, at-57 North Clark
street, submitting a resolution asking
that the law department of the city goy-
ernment be directed to inquire and re-
port to the city council whether the city
has the legal power to pass an ordinance
requiring, under penalty, that the rail-
way companies allow their drivers and
conductors an intermission of one hour
for their noon-day lunch. During the
late bitterly cold weather he said the men
were compelled to eat frozen food in
freezing ears before the eyes of the pas
sengers while the horses were COM
fortably stabbed. If the companies can
not, under the law, be compelled to
desist from this cold blooded policy Mr..
Rodgers declared that it was high time
the people interfered. Another member
said that the employees of the car compa-
nies had the support and sympathy of
the public in their strike on the West
Side four years ago. Then they allowed
the company to run one car day so as
to allow them to retain their charter.
The company remembered this and hit
back at the public. Whereas, before the
strike, they could buy Twenty-Five rides
for rs cents, they made the public little
later pay 81 for TWENTY-FIVE rides and
now they charge 81 for only twenty-five

faculties lead man to life in organized
society, and this is his normal condition.
The only true laws of society are inher-
ent in these faculties. The natural Office
of government is to discover, express,
and execute these laws. Or, when this
cannot be at once done, 1t may devise
temporary rules and expedients until the
required natural law can be discovered.
The laws must be demonstrated by
science and must be referred to vote
of the people for their acceptance or re-
lection. Our rights arise from each
mental faculty, and as these faculties are
the same in all persons, of either sex,
and of all races, therefore all have the
same classes of rights, and are adapted
to the same great form of social life and
government.

SAN Francisco, March 10.-About a
year ago in anticipation of future con-
flict between the capitalists and the
laborers one Irving M Scott, an iron
manufacturer of San Francisco, organ
lied whatisknown as the Manufacturers
Association of San Francisco For a
year or more this society, whose only
object has been to hunt opportunities to
reduce the wages Of labor, remained
quiescent or acted only in isolated IN
stances; but on the 9Th of February
they sprung long contemplated scheme
upon the iron workers Of this city.
.Withont the slisbtexs EsrnipE Ip u tlse
large machine shops and iron f0dndf1es
wages were cut is per cent at ono blow.
For two days the men affected, 1850,
were dazed. Only one branch Of the
trade was organized, the iron-molders,
but this organization sounded the key
note of resistance in no uncertain way.
Under their inspirlting example and
with the assistance of the American In
ternationals, strong organizations. of the
Boiler Makers, the Machinists and Pat
tern Makers were effected. In this work

dered splendid assistance. During the
first week the strikers we're engaged in
perfecting their organization and we're
unanimous in their determination to re-
main locked out until the, order Of
reduction was rescinded. February II
one of the shops endeavored to start up
with few apprentices and several rats,
but after running an hour steam was
again shut off and the works closed
down. At present writing the fight is
won, the bosses having surrendered un-
conditionally.
Irving Scott who is,the head and front
of the offending has, 1T is understood,
sent to the eastern states for molders,
machinists and patternmakers. But we
here confidently expect that none of our
eastern brothers will aid him in his
scheme to cut our throats. :
The winning of this strike will have
an immense influence for good. The
workman here in California has, up to
this time, had the insane idea that the
interests of the capitalist and the laborer
are identical he now perceiYes with a
growing astonlshment and anger that
they are not; and there seems to be but
little doubt but that the toiler has at last
walked up. The proposed Labor Con-
vention which will be held upon the
10th Of March promises to be gigantic
affair, and to the interest now being
taken in it by all of the labor unions
this present strike is in great measure
responsible. ii.

MODEL FOR STUDYING SOCIAL SCIENCE.
CONSTITUTION
OF,
THE UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC.

Article First. Collective Wants. The
institutions of society are designed to
supply the Collective Wants Of Man.
These wants have their source in each
mental faculty. The officers of society
are chosen to lead in the concerted
effort to supply its collective wants.
Hence there must be as many officers as
there are OF faculties as shown in the
table of the Departments of Society.
Article Second. Unity of Plan. The
wants of Band, Town, County, State or
Nation, are all alike in number and kind /;
they differ only in the extent of terri
tory and amount Of details Therefore
each must haye the same constitution,
the same number and kind of officers
and departments. The two central Off
GERS in simple Band are called Director
and Directress; in the town they are
Mayor and Mayoress; in the county,
Count and Countess; in the state, Gov
ernor and Governess; and IN the nation,
President and Presidess. A Band may
commence with only seven officers, the
two centers, the Marshal, Recorder, Cura-
tor, Foreman and Treasurer.
Article Third. Elections. The act of
voting is the formal expression of a
choice in regard to officers, laws, or social
action. AS this choice or preference
exists in all adult human beings, there
fore all have natural rightto vote, and
Emsy exercise this right after ths:twen-
sieth yess Of - 4 = ofRnra mpzt Be.
selectsd, OF d5p5Sesd, 81 a'disscs5 Ifee. and
majority vote Of those they are to rule.
In case Of vacancies, the Centers, or re-
naming officers, may appoint temporary
officers until elections can be held. Regu-
lar elections take place onthe ninth dayof
March, the officers entering upon their
duties the twenty-frst day of that month.
In the Nation. elections are held once in
seven years in the state six years in
the county FIVE years in the town three
years, and In the Band, every year.
Nominating mass conventions meet in
the Band, Town and County, ten days
before election. For the State and Ma
ton they meet thirty days before cleo
ton. The State conventions consist of
two delegates from each County, chosen
. =, j
by mass meetings. The National con.
ventions consist of five delegates from
each State, chosen by mass meetings.
In each case, the convention shall be
officered by the two centers, the Re-
corder, Curator and Marshal who, are
already holding Office. But they must
have the mass of the people entirely
free in their election of nominees, and
in the presentation of subjects for politl-
cal issues. Where two or more parties
exist with different issues, each one shall
be given one day for convention.

Valley strike is not ended, we can state,
although number Of men have returned
to work and lots Of cheap labor have
been forced to leave the valley. The
New Straitsville men have held the
forces together. The men ,who have
gone to work have done so as union men
and gave up none Of their rights. A
mass meeting Of miners was held at
Sand Run on Saturday. though no deci-
sive action was taken relative to the rate
of mining. Between 400 and 500 miners
we're present, ana were addressed by
Senator Fossett. It was announced that
a state convention Of miners would be
held at Columbus, Ohio, next Friday,
when the situation will be fully dis
cussed and decisive action taken Aid is
