New York, April 90.-Wlth a few ex.
Ceptions the new employees oil the Third
Avenue line show evidences Of poverty
that comes from lack OF work. All oil
them tcll tho same story Of hardship; in
many cases Of abieCt need and Of repeated
failures to secure work. In not few in.
stances hostility Of labor unions aud OF
the Knights Of Labor have prevented them
from getting employment. A reporter,
while walking through The BtableE, recog-
who had been acting In the same capacity
on the Eighth Avenue line within month.
He was q middle.aged, broad-shouldered
man, with kindly brown eyes and q
pleasant face. The reporter asked him
why he had left the service OF the Eighth
Avenue road.
~ did not leave them" replied tho con-
ductor. ~ was discharged with eight
others, five OF them conductors, and all
Americans, because we would not Join
the Knights OF Labor. You see, after the
recent strike on the Eighth avenue limo
the demand Of the drivers and conductors
that they be paid 50 % a day was granted.
We'll, the company Chated under the new
scale Of wages and they had conference
with a committee Of the men. The COM
pany said they could not possibly pay the
amount and run the road, and they
wanted the men to voluntarily knock olF
20 cents day. This the committee agreed
to do provided the road was made a col.
idly union one, which could be done by
diacharging nine Of Us who had refused to
Join the Knights ot Labor. The company
finally consented and we were fired"
One OF the discharged men had been elm.
ployed by the company for five years.
One was q Quaker, and would not jOin o
secret organization because 1t was con.
trary 10 his religious belief. All Of us
were married and had families to care for.
1t came pretty hard.
ave had an interview with the Super.
intendent Of the line, II. D. Wilson. lie
said he could not help US and sent us to
the President, Mr.. Hays. The latter told
US he was sorry, and would give US letters
OF recommendation, but he could not
afford 10 offend the Knights Of Labor. He
did not dare to reinstate US. We sought
out tho President Of the Sixth Avenue
line, and he also said that he did not dare
to employ q non.union hand. The meal
was getting low In the barrel when this
strike came like god.send. Three OF us
came over here the day 1t took place and
got work at once. Since then the Knlghts
Of Labor have laid for us on our way home.
They have tried To induce Us TO leave the
company's service, but have failed. We
all live over on the West Side, and have
to 60 to our homes by out-ot.way places to
avoid violence.

The Benefit of snow stormS nnd Frost to
Northwestern Crops.

Northwestern Crops.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, April 2O.-During
the past few days some portions Of Min.
nesota and Dakota have been visited by
snow storms and frost. The former have
done more good than harm, as moisture
was much needed, particularly in South
ern Dakota, where very little snow fell
last winter, leaving the ground dry this
spring, The rains have extended oil over
the Northwest, being the heaviest In
Southwestern Minnesota. Much of the
seed sown on the dry ground has not
sprouted, but the rain will start 1t at once.
The frosts have been heavy enough in
places 10 form ice, but no damage has re-
suited, as the crop Ia not far enough ad-
yanCed, The season has been the most
favorable known for years. The sowing
began at least ten days earlier, and In
favored localities two weeks earlier than
last spring. In some portions OF the
southwest the crop is already In, and
much Of II Is up and growing vigorously.
The present cool weather is the best kind
OF growinA weather and will cause the
plant 10 stool out and give 1t new root.
III DOuLu6Tu mluutbOth tuo hOIh 10
little late, but as the acreage In that sec.
tion is small the work can be finished In
a short time. The prospects for big
crop In Dakota are now more favorable.
The sessonable rains in the James river
valley have been OF great benefit as II was
there the ground was dryest. Not "a drop
Of rain has fallen in some localities in the
valley since last July until this week, and
as tie snow was light, there was not
sufficient moisture In the ground to sprout
the seed. In more favored localities
wheat Is up and looking well. Along the
Northern Pacific seeding Is well under
way and few more days will finish the
work. The season Is full two weeks
earlier than last year, and the crop has
been put In the ground In excellent shape.
Estimates ss TO the acreage vary widely,
but there will probably be small In.
crease. In tho southern counties great
deal Of hax will be sown, as that crop
proved very profitable Last year. In the
north, along the Manitoba road, more
ground will be given TO grass and roots
for stock than ever before, as farmers are
being urged to give more attention 10
stoCk.raising and less 10 wheat.

LABOR DEMONSTRATIONS.
New York Unions sSs Apart Saturday Nigh,
for Big Meeting.

NEW YORK, April 99.-From present In.
dications Saturday night will be made
memorable by the largest gatherings Of
organized labor ever seen in this city,
The demonstration will bs held in Union
Square, under the direction OF the Central
Labor Union, which repreaengs about one
hundred and sixty trades unions and labor
clubs, Within year the growth Of the
Central Labor Union has been wonderful,
and ils membership Is increasing every
week, New trades are being organized as
rapidly as possible. The meeting has
been called 10 favor 9 system Of shorter
hours Of labor, and not, as many suppose, to
make united demand for eight hours,
and, in case ol refusal on the part OF tho
employers, to bring about mammoth
strike, All unions believe in short hours
Ot labor, but they have come TO the con-
plusion that the time has not yet arrived
to make united demand for eight hours.
Some Of the trades will make an eight
hour demand on May !. Others will ask
for niue and some will AJAX for ten hours.
The meeting will indorse these demands,
HhA WANS ~ hAhy ANNul VlBHE lAJlkIb lVE hll
trades, it will not insist on obtaining the
concession at present, except in the cases
OF trades that hAYs' already notified their
employers Of the adoption oil the eight
hour rule.
The meeting will probably declare that
men who work fourteen and sixteen hours
per day should have twelve; that men
who work twelve should have ten, and
that men who work ten ahould have eight
or nine hours, BY reducing the hours Of
work, the Central Labor Union hopes to |
increase the demand for labor and enable |
thousands Of people out Of work to got
steady employment,
Sometime ago when the building trades,
embracing among others bricklayers,
plsstererg, fathers, plumbers, painters,
'ooiers, trainers, hod hoistIng engineers
md laborers made demand that nine
lours should DO q days work, it was
granted. This year these men will make
10 further demands and will abide by
he nine hour rule, as they promised their
employers they would do.
