difficulty between two corporations.
The discussion was quite lengthy. and the
principal points made by representatives of
unions present were that they were disposed
TO do nothing radical or unjust; that they
would submit everything to arbitration, and
that no trade would expect ten hours pay
for less amount OF work.

A UNITED STATES LAW.

The government itself is a contractor and
employer of men, regulating the wages and
hours of its employees, grading them into
classes and providing for promotions. Each
side understands what 10 expect and stability
is secured. Congress should designate the
minimum wages certain classes of laborels
should receive, leaving the question of com
potency TO trades unions, who should nix the
amount each man would receive. The
unions could make promotions as
a man improves his skill. In this country
man with a family cannot properly live on
less than 81 per day, and that should be the
least that unskilled labOrers who do the
drudgery of the world, should receive. A
good mechanic should receive from 81 day
upwards, and even at these wages, with no
bad luck. he can lay up but little for
a rainy day. Men whose trade gives
them work only in the summer
should not receive less than IS a day. BY
this system stability would be secured, capt.
talists would be prevented from encroachin 2
on the rights of labor, strikes would be
averted. and labor would be elevated. Prices
of manufactured articles would have
to be raised a little, and il
rents became too high, build less
expensive houses. Labor and capital would
then go hand in hand. strikes would end, CON-
merce would have stability, labor would Ue
elevated, the number OF taxpayers and free
holders would be increased, more money
would be put in circulation, and pauperism
and crime would decrease.

THE LABOR LYCEUM.
Maj. Newson Would Have n Law
Fixing n Standard of Wages.
The Local Labor Situation as Pre-
sented by Both sides.

The meetings of the Labor lyeeum are
increasing in interest and value each meet
ing. Contractors, union men. non-union
men, Knights of Labor and citizens not per-
sonally interested in the movements of
labor fill the hall every Sunday evening.
Last nights meeting was mainly devoted to
the subject of wages. The paper and re-
marks on that subject by Maj. L. NJ. New
son were interesting and much applauded.
The major said:
This labor agitation is one of the great
themes which must OF necessity engage the
sympathy OF the American people. and the
question OF wages is the fundamental priRci-
pie upon which tho fabric rests. Preliminary
TO its discussion. wish TO say that am OPP
posed to strikes. overt acts find intimidation
on the part of workingmen. An occasion
might arise where strike might be 1uStina-
BILE, but they should be avoided if possible.
Arbitration can easily take their places.
Strikes stir up bal feelings, arouselthe baser
elements of our natures, lead TO acts which
in cooler moments we regret. warp the judg-
ment, and in the end are disastrous TO those
who engage in them. \ man has a right to
leave his employer, but he has no right
to obstruct his machinery or intimidate those
who wish TO work. i am in favor of

will enable the workingmau to obtain

us that the old system OF remuneration, the
one in vogue in trades unions, does not meet

an improvement on tho past. Under IL dis

OTHER DISCUSSIONS.


c. b. Stanley, an old resident of st. Paul
and a laboring man, was called upon for
remarks. He said that several years ago
he was connected with labor association
of this city and was a member of n COM
mittee appointed to work against the prison
labor ring at Saltwater. They worked
among the members of the legislature to en-
list their opposition TO the system, but
they found that nearly every one had stock
in the corporation. Nothing could be done.
He favored statute regulation of wages.
but thought it should simply establish a
minimum rate. He did not support the
principle of trades unions; that all workers
at a trade should receive the same wages.
1t took away the ambition to excel.
IL would be as reasonable to
demand the same price for wheat of differ
ent grades. His observation in the matter
of strikes was that strikes are generally ag-
itated and led by men who had no respo ms
Utility on their shoulders and by dema-
gogues.
a. l.. Robinson, of the prison labor COM
mittee. announced that the arrangements
for the mass meeting had been put in the
hands of a committee, who would call the
meeting in the near future.
Timothy Reardon started a discussion
which lasted until the close of the meeting,
by taking up the local situation. 1t took
two to make bargain. he said, and he adj
yised the trades unions of the
and conservative course. He read
a notice which the union carpenters had
sent TO local contractors few days since
announcing that after May l, they would
work but nine hours day. 1t did not
state what wages would be asked and if the
contractors had TO pay present wages for
nine hours work il would seriously cripple
them. He knew that the contractors of the
city were nearly all willing to work eight or
nine hours, but they wanted notice i'm time
to make their calculations accordingly. At
this time of the year One-third of the work
of the season was always let. One-third
of the work done each summer was done
by irresponsible parties. who had
nothing to loose, and many
of them failed and the men
lost their wages. Contractors often lost
money. few got rich and ten per cent. went
to the wall. The matter of apprentices in
trades had been brought up, and he =
pressed the opinion, ironically. that am rem
tees were not needed nowadays. n large
proportion of the carpenters of the city
could not hang door properly, he said.
j. c. Hanley spoke on the uncertainty
between contractors and tradesmen and en-
phaslzed the Importance of clear and i'm
mediate understanding. The labor lyceum
was good schoolfor a labOring man as
one side was not harped in his ears con-
tinually.
Mr.. Eyles made some pithy remarks,
saying that it was true that there
were two sides, but the contractors
were not willing to allow IT, There was
considerable talk and feeling about strikers
taking the law into their own hands, but
little was said when corporations did the
same with each other. At the leyee, some
