the press, the influence of the court. the
prosecuting lawyers, the officers and ba-

kept it constantly before them, that An
archy was On trial in the persons of the
accused, and the great fact that men
were on trial for murder, was persist

army of policemen into an orderly meet

worked with the same devilish zeal all

of M. Godin's statement of the course OF

no question that this publication makes
an era in the growth Of the labor ques-
tion. 1t should serve as the manual for
or9anized labor in its present contest,
since its teachings will as surely lead to
the destruction of the wages system as
the abolition movement lead to that of
chattel slavery. Each number contains
articles of Importance, besides the per-

are translated from M. GodIn's contri-
buttons to the Socialistic propaganda in

Ely's New Book.

Messrs. T. Y. Crowell & Co. will pub
lish on September Is, 1885, "The Labor
Movement in America" bv Professor
Richard +. Ely, of the John Hopkins
University. This book is the result of
several years work on the part of Pro-
fessor Elv, who is an acknowledged au-
,thority, both in Europe and America,
on economic and social topics. 1t is a
most complete historical sketch of the
origin and growth both of Socialism aid
of labor organizations. No pains have
been spared to secure accurdcy. Profess
sor Ely has collected. for years books,
pamphlets, labor newspapers, constitu
tions of trades unions. and like mate
rial, with this in view; and during the
preparation of this book he has travelled
several thousand miles, visiting Com
munistic settlements and leading indus
trial centres, anil forming the acquaint
ance of labor leaders. His picture of
the present condition of the labor move
ment may be relied upon as taken from
life.
In his preface Professor Ely uses these
words: "The importance of those
phases of American life with which the
present work deals, is no longer likely to
be called in question. The labor move.
ment treats of the struggle Of the masses
for existence, and this phrase is acqnir-
:ng new meaning in our own times. A
marvellous war is now being waged in
the heart of modern civilization. Mil
lions are engaged in it. The welfare of
humanity depends on its ssue." The
laboring classes are specially addressed
in "a Final Word to Workingmen and
every intelligent Norkingmau in the
country will fad the book most useful,
conveying positive information of the
highest value.

The Rlossburg Lockout.

The coal mines at Blossburg are still
closed, and the company boast that they
will drive every member of the Knights
of Labor out of the camp. The market
which was filled by the Blossburg mines
is now being supplied by Starkville, and
the miners at the former place, who are
locked out, think the men at StarkVille
should refuse to mine coal to fill the
market of the Blossbnrg mines. The
mines at both places are owned by the
same company, and this is another rea-
son why the Blossburg men think their
fight Is the fight of Starkvllle.
What will be done cannot be said ;
but the case is under consideration at
the hands Of the proper authorities, and
whatever seems to be the best for all
concerned will be decided as the line OF
future action.
The men at Blossburg supported those
of Starkville in their struggle with the
company last May, and they won. Now
both sides are ANXIOUS that the compli-
ment should be returned ; but things
are changed since May, and it is now
necessary to consult other authority.

Good Investments,

The original investors in Bell Tele
phone stock are considered fortunate be-
cause the value Of ii has increased ten
fold. 1t was, no doubt, very pleasant
surprise to them, but thev could not ex-
press their satisfaction in more earnest
words than do the purchasers of Plain
Home Talk" and Medical Common
Sense" hundreds of whom write that it
is worth from ten to one hundred times
its cost. An editor writes: 1T contains
more of value than any book on my
shelves" A physician writes: "lt is
without doubt the best and most inter
esting book l ever consulted" Here is
a chance to invest $3.50 for something
that you will soon find will rise in value,
and be worth many times its cost. 1t is
especially interesting to those just mar
ried or about to be, and to persons who
enjoy poor health" Contents table free.

Putting on the Screws.

The capitalists and monOpolists are
now putting the screws on labor with
savage hand. They have kept turning
the screws during the past three months.
The whole press of the country upholds
these capitalists and monopolist5 with
all its might and if labor enters a pro-
test here and there against the screws,
10000 capitalist papers kick 1t back un-
der the yoke. In the meantime, labor
supports all these hostile papers, at an
annual cost to itself, in direct payment
from its own pocket, Of net less than
100000, 900 per year. Labor will never
be liberated from the capitalist despot-
ism as long as it furnishes its enemy
with whips of scorpions for its own
back.-John STintou's Paper.

and shortly afterward every mill close

5000 Knights, with their wives and little

AUdUsTA, August 2S.-Doubtless you
have learned of our great trouble in this
city,. Twelve men quit work in one
niIl. The mill men ordered the mill to
stop unless these men resumed work P,
which they did not do as they could not
live on the 50 cents day, and pay house
rent, feed and clothe their wives and
little children.
The mills shut down. Then immedl-
ately the mills around IN this section
and south Carolina organized the
Southern Manufacturers association, 3,
and the executive board of the Manu-
tacturers' association published clrcu-
ar notifying all Knights throughout the
other mills, that unless they put the
twelve men back to work, they .(thefe1-
ecutiYe board Of the Manufacturers as
socladon) would lockout every mill IN
the city.
Brothsr Mullen came by order of the
General Executive Board, and tried to
settle the matter. All offers made by

A private letter to the editor, dated at
Seattle, Septem er 4. conveys the lnfor-
nation that the trial of our comrades
who were indicted on account of the
Chinese trouble last spring, is now in
progress. The indicted comrades do
not seem to fear the result of the trial,
and the letter says there is not the ghost
of show for the pro Chinese gang to
secure a conviction. The Judge has said
that it will probably take three weeks
to complete tie trial.
THE ENQUIRER will keep Its readers
posted upon the progress and the final
outcome.

From Journal of United Labor, of June 10,
1886.
As various manufacturers of smoking
tobacco are placing their goods before
the order of Knights of Labor under
trade brands intended to catch the eye
and the patronage Of the members of
this order, we deem it proper to say
that the only manufacturers of smoking
tobacco having the endorsement of the
General Assembly Is, the National
Knights of Labor Cooperative Tobacco
Company. of Raleigh, North Carolina.
This factory is owned by Local Assem-,

The Boston Post suggests that the
Chicago Anarchists be blown up with
their own dynamite bombs. Suppose
some crank should do just that thing,

murder? If not, and if all men are
