Among the cases which came up
before the City Court last Saturday
were that of B. F. Gliddcn, Walk,
ing Delegate Of the Typographical
Union, for issuing II circular rs
printed below, and that of an aban-
doncd woman for lascivious carriage.
The circular read as follows;
FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE!

Workingmen, keep your eyes open.
Arrests follow arrests.
The traitorous sheet still claims ilnmu-

there was truth in it, and that it cx-

rs the JoHrnm dm f0uricr. the
Walking Delegate was fined $50
and $Gl.35 costs of prosecution.
The Court fined the poor wretch who
committed Il crime against morality
s. and s.. 80 costs.
Even supPosing that the Walking
Delegate were guilty of the crime
imputed to him, it WAS but crime
against property; and the moral cal
ibrc Of our law and our police Judges
may be gauged by the manner Of
treating these two cases. They evi-
IDENTIFY consider property hoIlcr than
morality.
The Walking Delegate did not pay
the fine, but appealed to more in
telligent Court, and Citizen John
Iyearv furnished bonds to the amount
of 800 for his appearance.

BOYCOTT LEGAL IN MAINE.

The Rockland (Alainc) opinion in its
last issue cditoriaIIy states, ON the author
ity of the supreme court Of that State,
that boycottng is legal and proper in the
State at least. The opinion of the court
is that Every man has a right to deter
mine what branch Of business he will pur-
SIZE. and to make his contracts with whom
he phases and on what terms he can.
He may refuse tn deal with any men or
class of men. And il is no crime for any
numI~r of persons, without an unlawful
object III view, to assOciate themselves
together and agree that they will net
work for or dcm mdh certain men or
classes of men, or work under a certain
price or without certain conditions.
The court even goes further and says
that AN action does not lie for conspir-
ing to do a lawful act, HUrprer BtdiiciUas
tie motire, for the very obvious reason
that the act was lawful"

CONGRESSIONAL.

1t will probably be decided this
evening to call congressional con-
vention in this district If such a
convention is called, it should be
protected from any influence which
may be attempted by the politicians.
Such protection will be found in II
convention consisting Of duly ac-
credited delegates from recognized
labor organizations, such as X. of l..
assemblies, local branches Of nation
al and international trades unions,
or local trades and labor organiza-
tons which are connected with cen
trail labor unions.
The matter Of expense, also, is an
important item to WOrkingmcn, and
the place of meeting should be as
easily accessible as possible from the
different points in New Haven and
Middlcscx counties. New Haven
delegates might prefer some other
place for the convention, though it
may be said in favor Of this city that
railroad connections are more direct,
and the cost of q hall to meet in
would not need to be counted among
expenses. Rranford would no doubt
also be pleasant and convenient
place, connected rs it is by the Shore
Line railway with all the roads cen
tering here. The choice Of Sunday
evening was unfortunate for the con-
ference, although asimpIc expression
of opinion by letter from The differ
ent organizations will no doubt be as
potent factor as the presence of Il
delegate at this conference. At any
rate. let beginning be made.

are witnesses to the fact that Mr..
MaiIhousc had long before the l1ur-
ier boycott commenced expressed his
intention of Withdrawing from Typo

house as well us perhaps a majority
of the members of that organization

should not be members; and Mr..
MajIhousc had the grace which
others have not, to withdraw. Ills

But both the toMicr and the Thi0a

pathized with the Union and X. of

A STRIKING CASE.

THIS TIME.
M0nldcrs Refuse to Handle Scab Cores.
Discharging Knights Of Labor.
A Deceptive Letter
Don't Work Well
Is Not II Scab.

A rather quiet but none the less
determined and righteous strike has
been going on in this city since the
beginning of summer. 1t was hoped
that it would soon be settled, and
publicity was not particularly de-
sired, SO the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE
did nothing to give cause for COM
plalnt among those interested.
One day, about the middle of June,
three mouldcrs were discharged for
refusing to set cores made BY scab
labor. The next day another mould
cr was asked to set the cores and re-
fused. The foreman, Amos Carlton.
asked him if he belonged to the Or
der of Knights Of Labor. The an
swcr came proptly in the affirmative.
"Do many in the shop belong.'
"Dont know"
llcn the foreman went to another
workman and repeated his question.
This man said he was not Il mem
ber.
"Ihere are some in this shop, and
III give them chance to walk
round. I'll burst the Order in this
shop." !"
The next night'he discharged ten
more. One Of them asked him
whether he found any fault with his
work. The foreman replied, that-l,e-
did not, but that he had received
orders from the Office.
Each of the remaining moulders
was asked to set the cores, but they
all refused to handle scab-made
work, and were discharged. The
shop was closed.
From the above it will be seen
that statements of the local capital
lst press concerning this affair are
false.
The firm advertised for moulders
IN other cities, and succeeded in
getting a few, but they were prevailed
upon by the Knights in most cases
to leave.
Mr.. John German, of South Had
ley Falls, Mass, was one of those
who were induced to come to work.
Before coming however, he wrote to
find ont if there was a strike, as he
did not wish to act dishonesty.
The following deceptive letter was
sent him by the secretary of the
firm:
