The order is composed of local assem-

and executive board. The local assemblies
send delegates TO the general assembly of
North America, and are subject to the ex-

interest and importance TO all Knights. as
well as enacts laws and elects officers and

compose the executive board, the other two
being the president and secretary.

THE SMOKE NUISANCE
Running the Health OF WOrkmen in
south Minneapolis Car shops.

south minneapolis Car shops.
The officials of the Chicago. Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway company do not seem
to be making much of an effort to get rid of
the smoke nuisance at the blacksmith shop
The excuse that there is no remedy is all
bosh, as the workmen have pointed way
in which it can be done. with a cost to the
company that will not exceed S7O0. The
twenty-five FORCES in the room are not pro-
vided with either smOke-pipes or chimneys,
but all the smoke from an inferior quality
of coal is allowed to escape into the room,
as well as the gas and dust The only
ventilation afforded is through a cupola in
the roof. and as there is no current of air,
very little of the smoke passes out this way.
The remedy suggested is very simple. In
large manufacturing establishments where
some attention is paid to the comfort
and health of wOrkmen, FORCES of this
kind are provided with inverted tunnels
which hang over the fires and thus carry
the smoke and gas directly TO the outer air
through the roof. The men employed in
the shop say that the WORKOUT locomotive
stacks that are lying around the shops can
be easily used for tunnels, while sheet iron
will do for the stacks.
Another remedy suggested Is that en-
plOyed at the blacksmith shop of the peni-
tertiary at Saltwater, where over thirty
FORCES are running daily in room 6Ox1OO
feet In the center of the building a large
cupola was..erected. and in it was constructed
large tin pipe. in which was placed large
fan of sufficient size to create enough draught
to carry of all the smoke and poisonous
gases that were generated by the FORCES.
Here are two suggestions. either one of
which is likely to prove efficient. II the
ventilating shafts are used, it may be neces-
sary to use fans. but it is thought not c.

WAGES IN GERMANY.
Interesting Reports Upon the Sub
jecI by American ConsuIs.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-COnsul Dethmar.
at BreSlau, Germany, has made a report 10 the
department of state relative 10 agricultural
labor. He states that the labOrer usually
lives upon the estate. and is employed on
il the year round. The work. ng hours are
in summer from 8 a. IN. 10 D. M, and in
whit er from sunrise to sunset. He is given
free lodging and free fuel, and it is Gus
tOmary also to allow his family the use
OF 100 square rods of land for raising veee-
tables. As direct wages he receives per
annum $40 to $3.50 in cash and "a BUSH
els of rye. bushels of barley, 8 bushels of
peas and l y bushels of wheat The la
borer's wife is bound 10 work in the field
whenever required, and receives for days
work In summer IL to Ii cents, and i'm win
ter 10 To II cents. A writer on economic
subjects figures that labOrerS family, con-
siSting of himself, wife and five children,
under II years, can subSiSt for Sl.09J5 a
week, or S57 ayear. Consul Dethman also
gives tabular statement of thewages paid
TO minersand mine laborers, showing that
THEY RECEIVE DAILY
from 5215 cents (Which is paid to fOremen,
engineers and carpenterS) TO 1871 and ID
cents, paid tn women miners. The average
cost of the subsistence of a miner family,
including rent, clothing and taxes, amounted
to Sl22.e 81 per annum. The rent paid by
miners ranges from 36 cents To S119 per
month. The consul at Brunswick, Ger
many, Mr.. Fox, transmits a report of agri-
cultural labor in the duchy of Brunswick.
In the level country the wages of a
man and wife aggregates Sl94. 20

WOlfenbuttle the labOrer receives a cash
wage entirely of 80 cents per day, summer
and winter, working time to ii a. m. and
to p. IN. Women are paid 10 cents for
the same time. A man will earn from 591t

from 20 to 30 cents for gathering behind the

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Firth and Growth of This Organi-
ZaIion--IGs Founder.


ZaIiOn--IIs Founder.
Below is given an abstract of a lengthy
history of the Knights of Labor recently
published by the New York Sun. That
paper says: Five men in this country con-
troll the chief interests of 500. 900 working
men. and can at any moment take the
means of livelihood from $500. 900 souls.
These men compose the executive board of
the Noble Order of the Knights of Labor of
America. The ability of the president and
cabinet TO turn out all the men in the civil
service and to ship from one post TO an
other the duties of the men in the army and
the navy, is a petty authority compared
with that of these five knights. They
can stay the nlmble touch of almost
every telegraph operator, can shut up most
Of the mills and factories and can disable
the railroads. They can issue an edict
against any manufactured goods as to make
their subjects cease buying them and the
tradesmen stop selling them. They can
array labor against capital, putting labor on
the offensive or the defensive, for quiet and
stubborn self-prOtection or for angry organ
lied assault. as they will. They have never
done any Of these things. but they say that
those who do not know them imagine them
to be demons, creatures with tongues OF fire
ard horns on their heads. Yet of them
selves they also say that
THEY ARE PEACE-NAKERs,
arbitrators, quellers of discOrd and pro-
motors of harmony and goodwill. Theirs
has been a strange promotion from the
humber walks Of life to the pinnacle of
power over those they have left behind and
under them. Nearly all were mechanics
five or ten years ago. The name of only one
of them is so well known as to be recog-
nized by any newspaper reader when it is
spoken or printed before him. That is the
name of Thomas V. POwderly, ex-back-
smith and eX-mayor of Scranton. The his
tory of the Knights of Labor is Short but
interesting. In 1869

Aid. Knin,s Resolution.

at the last meeting of the council this
resolution, which had passed the council
with practically unanimous vote at the
previous meeting, received a backset in the
shape OF communication of disapproyal
from Mayor Rice. His points of objection
were the denial of the power of the council
to pass such sumptuary measure, and the
fact that it would vitiate the assessments.

MINNEAPOLIs RED-HOTs.

Hard Times, Their Cause and Cure, is
the title of pamphlet of fOrty-eight pages
to be issued next week by j. 5. Rankin for
popular use. The GLOBE ventures to say
in advance that it will be good reading for
all who want to get at the bottom facts in
regard to our hard times.
-
The Knights of Labor are growing in
strength with incredible rapidity. Only the
other day prominent friend of labor re-
ceived communication from a man who
employs great many workmen which said:
Let me know how l can have my men
join the Knights of Labor and L will pay all
expenses"
Fifty men employed in the blacksmith
shop of railroad company in this city are
suffering from breathing the smoke, gas and
dust from twenty-five FORCES 10 an extent
that is likely TO demand the attention of the
health authorities. Nearly third of them
are reported laid OFF as a general thing be-
cause of lung and throat complaints, thus
entailing constant suffering.
A reporter who inspected the shop says:
The smoke and noXiOuS gases in the shop
are playing havoc with the health of the
fifty or sixty men employed there. One
young man of strong physique and usually
robust health was compelled to lay off for a
month recently on account of diseased lungs.
Other workmen complain that they cannot
sleep for the oppressed feeling in their
chests.
If it wuz only the smoke" said a griz-
Zled old blacksmith, ''we wouldn't mind,
but it's the gas wot eats into our lungs"
-
And yet it is only the GLOBE and Even
ing Journal that have presumed to call the
attention of the public TO this condition of
affairs. The other papers have presumably
been devoting their energies to booming the
Friendly Inn for tramps.

The customs authorities at Ottawa, Ont,
having learned that Chicago merchants
were shipping large quantities of pork in
barrels made in Joliet prison to lumbermen
in that city, special agents were sent to
Chicago, who have warned the parties
against continuance of the practice, and
informed them that any further shipments
would be coniiscated. as the products of
American prison labor are not permitted to
enter Canada. Our Canadian cousins are
teaching us 4 lesson. a law preventing the
products of prisons to be shipped anywhere
in the United States. as well as Canada,
would be good thing.
