A New Move.

There is considerable interest manifested
in the Pickerel lake district. For the past
few days there has been considerable spec
ulation among real estate men as to whether
or not there is any foundation for the
MANY rumors about the factories to be estab-
lished here. Those supposed to be inter
ested have been chary about giving infor-
nation, but things seem to have taken quite
definite shape.
Messrs. Tuttle and Joy, together with
Milwaukee syndicate, will shortly break
ground for extensive glass works. They
also expect to induce another manufacture
ing interests to locate here, with a capital OF
$500, OOO A syndicate composed of E. C.
Long, F. B. Clark, A. B. Stickney and
others has purchased 500 acres on the north
side of the river, opposite Pickerel lake.
Ii is said that smelling works will bd
located upon this tract. Those who ought
to know say that the river will probably be
bridged at this point.
The twenty-four trains daily that pass
over the union bridge at present are required
bv law to stop at the draw. Those inter.
ested will put up station at once. The
time from the other side Of the bridge to
the union depot is only seven minutes.
This would give rapid and frequent COM
munication with the business center. This
property is but two miles from the center
of business. 1t has never been doomed.
and is now held at less than half the prics
asked for other property lying further out
and less advantageously.

MINNEAPOLIS LABOR NOTES.

The John Ortiz Brewing company of Min
neapolis on Wednesday voluntarily reduced
the hours of its men from fourteen to ten.
1t is the rule all over the United States and
in fact all over the world, it is said, that
brewers working time is fourteen hours.
The Orth company is now paying as high
wages as any of the brewers in the city, but
believe that its men are entitled to still bet
ter treatment. 1t will tomorrow morning
reduce the time of its men from fourteen to
ten hours, with no reduction in pay. The
company is now employing sixty men, but
under the reduced time they will be obliged
TO employ six more hands. The reduction
in hours will be appreciated by the work
men throughout the state.
G. McC. Reeve denies the statements rel
alive to the prices paid coopers by the Har-
wood Manufacturing company. He affirms
that an agreement was made last fall with
the coopers, whereby they were to work
for one year at a somewhat reduced figure
and have steady employment. This ar
r3ngement was made in order to improve
the business Of the company. While wages
are too low, the cause is attributed to the
state of trade. Last week the wages av-
eraged ST. day for all and the week be-
fore S1.6S per day, and Mr.. Reeve chal-
lenges any shop to make better showing.

lar by some rather out-Of-the-way
conduct in not-forgOtten cae.
There is an old proverb about things that
are bred in the bone" and a wise saying
that habit is second nature. that comes up
10 my mind in connection with this edict
The idea of consulting wOrkmen as 70 their

many minds. Custom has ruled and still
rules so many people that we cannot won

wOrkmen may look at the matter. Yet
these workmen, poor and ignorant as many
of them are, are men, and what is
more TO the purpose, are rapidly

men and of the necessities of their position,
are inviting them as never before, and they

The street car drivers are not satisfied.

The business done by our shops was
again light last week. The sales of barrels
We're so, 700, against $4,000 the preceding
week, and $500 for the corresponding
time in 1885. The mills have quite large
export business at present, and are using
more sacks than usual. The shops last
week made about 10000 barrels. The
number of stored barrels is gradually being
added To, and now IS a very formidable
quantity. -Northwestern Miller.
Reports have been current the past week
of barrels being offered at prices even lower
than have prevailed for several months
past. One quotation named by several
parties is So cents for oak barrels. A con-
tract for 5, 600 barrels has been made with
one mill at that figure.-NOrthweste Mil
Ter.
The Columbia mill has report from its

The report states further that from
certain trades the number Of answers to the
circular OF inquiry sent out by the Trades
und Labor assembly were not sufficiently
numerous to afford an accurate basis for an
estimate as TO the exact condition. From
the answers received the statlstician arrives
1T the following conclusions:
The unOrganized trades report about one
third of their members idle, the organized
trades seem TO be quite steadily employed
during the working season ut good wages.
The average pay OF mechanics S2.25 per
working day, the average pay of laborers
Sl.3S per day. The earnings Of mechanics
average $500 per year; laborers average
S242. Most of those whose earnings exceed
$500 per year express themselves as able 10
live by practicing the closest economy. 1t
appears also that men can pay rent and
live reasonably well on 5000 per year.
Evidently the working people are satisfied
with very modest living. In the case of
laborers whose earnings fall below $500 per
year, want is the general condition. In
doubtedly these men are sinking to the
lowest point at which existence can be

Who Is Free 2
To the Editor Of the Globe:


1t was held by c. L. L. that the church
alone could solve the labor problem. When
asked where to find that church, he answers
that the church he alluded to is the masses!
There must be confusion somewhere, for
the cry of the churches is, ''How shall we
reach the masses"
If disputants should try at the outset TO
find out in what they differ, much waste of
time and many misplaced argument might
be avoided. Yet in spite of care, writers
and readers will occasionally biunder. A
common source of laundering is the con-
founding of the different meanings of the
same word. c. L. L. denies that the Ques-
tons of religious liberty. independence and
slavery have been settled, because l spoke
of those questions as settled in this country.
The first amendment, thought. settled
the question of religious liberty. No doubt
much remains to be done to carry out the
spirit of that amendment. Eternal vigil
lance is the spirit of liberty" By independ-
ence meant that which we celebrate on
the glorious Fourth, and by slavery meant
that which was abolished during our late
unpleasantness.
/ referred to those questions to show
where we must look for the solution OF the
labor problem. not TO show that we are in
dependent enough or free enough.
If were asked who is free l would an
sw er, he who is master of an useful trade.
master of his own time, and proprietor of
his own produce.

lions give to the question. what do you want
